Not feeling very creative? Take inspiration from a few of the following pizzeria texting ideas:

• Entice new customers to enroll in the system by running contest featuring prizes such as dinner for two or free pizza for a month.
• Offer a free appetizer or dessert if customers sign up before their pizza comes out of the oven.
• Give a discount or free appetizer to customers who snap a photo of themselves with their mobile phone while eating your pizza.
• Send out a mobile coupon on the morning of your slowest day of the week and make it good only for that day during certain hours. When customers come in, they just have to show the message on their phone to receive the discount.
• Give a special price when someone texts a keyword mentioned in a radio commercial.
• Reward time-sensitive savings when a keyword is texted, such as savings on lunch items if texted before 12:45pm.
• Hold a free pizza party contest for students wherein they text in a code and a unique code is sent back to them. Then request that they enter that code into your website with other details about themselves in order to be entered into the contest.
• Have the signs on your delivery vehicles have a text call-to-action. You can send specials out to texters immediately.
