having options at their fingertips. Today digital orders represent a two billion dollar a year opportunity for Pizza Hut,

Our implementation plan will be focused primarily around growing our brand with millennials. We have prepared an

QUICK FACTS

8. 9 10
The average millennial spends 5.4 hours on social media everyday, and checks their
phone 43 times everyday. The top 3 applications used by millennials are Facebook,
Snapchat and Instagram. Most millennials' social media use falls into one of two
categories: "Exuberants," active users who take pictures of and blog about everything
and are constantly projecting themselves and their experiences out into the world, and
"collectors," the 80-plus percent of social media users who passively take in the
vicarious experiences of others. While collectors are the most receptive to marketing
messages, their lack of engagement means they're less likely to spread your brand
message. The most ideal times to reach millennials via social media are from 4-6 pm.
Millennials top interests can be categorized as social networking, traveling, photography,
food/cooking, music/concerts, tattoos, dancing, reading, football/soccer, swimming and
biking. Millennials want to take in everything the world has to offer. They strongly value
ethnic diversity, especially in the foods that they eat. Millennials also value convenience,
luxury and sustainability. Millennials desire creativity and innovation. 10 Things
Millennials want: Chill places, Pouches, Mason Jars, Kale, Customizable Food, Sriracha,
“Artisanal”, Small plates, Mea, Fermented Things, Selfies.
Millennials are 18-34 year olds. Millennials account for almost 80
million people (24.5% of the American population). Millennials
make up a market segment bound together by similar ages and
shared experiences. The most radical difference between
millennials and other generations are found not in values that
they hold, but in the rise of cultural diversity and the ways in
which they interact with technology, which has shaped their
communities and their interactions with organizations.
Organizations seeking to that attract millennials to their brand
will create messages that appeal to millennials specific interests,
and create utility with convenience through the use of technology.

PAID MEDIA
FACEBOOK TWITTERSNAPCHAT
When Pizza Hut uses Twitter they should
use sponsored posts to drive more
consumers to their mobile app. When using
the promoted tweets on Twitter it only
costs $0.50-$4.00 per engagement. These
tweets should be happening on a daily
basis. The first two cost between $.50
– $4.00 per engagement, and promoted
trends will cost you $200,000 per day. With
these tweets it will contain a call-to-action
message to the consumers that will bring
them to the Pizza Hut mobile app.
With Facebook’s boosted posts and Ad
creation it varies greatly depending on
the amount of consumers we are trying to
reach. It would cost Pizza Hut $23 million
total ($128,000 per day) for advertising
on Facebook and this would reach 6-12
million people per day. On average for food
and beverage companies of large scale “pay
on average CPC of $0.21 and CPM of $0.65.
If Pizza Hut has an event that they are
sponsoring they can create a “paid for”
story, that would cost Pizza Hut $750,000
to reach 16.5 (55% that use SnapChat
daily) million people for a 24 hour time
period. Snapchat is the the #1 for user
engagement. We recommend Pizza Hut
be doing these stories when there is an
event that they are sponsoring during the
campaign time period. (Sloane, Garrett).

websites. For example, after someone has visited your website and leaves to continue
browsing the web, Google Remarketing allows you to connect with your audience on
other webpages. Another feature is to display specific products that people viewed on
your website throughout web pages they visit. As far as a budget, Google allows you to
set your limit. Some marketing strategies include maximizing clicks, search page location
