Punch Pizza Deals this week!!!

On occasion--or no real occasion at all--Punch Pizza will send out special offers to their customers via email, facebook, word of mouth, etc. It's a fun marketing tool because the deals end up being someone interactive for varying reasons. Sometimes the offers are specific to a group--One offer was specific to students and teachers of the Univ of MN, in which case I used my...ahem...expired...student ID. Other times it's for a specific reason--like the weather has been awful or great. This current promotion is geared towards gaining a following on Facebook, so they're asking people to "friend" their favorite location to use the coupon.

And they aren't measly discounts, either! It's a free pizza (or discounted by $6 bucks if you get a secialty 'za)! I love their pizza so much as it is because it's so flavorful and colorful and aromatic and oh yum!, but their marketing campaign creates a certain sort of affection within me for the pizza chain. It not only gets patrons in the door but it's establishing a personality and identity for the brand as well. They are so playful in their marketing strategies that I'm already having fun and feeling excited before I walk in the door. Can't say that about the coupons I collect for toilet paper. Ummm, nope...not at all.

The deal this week is specific by location. Each location has one specific day the coupon is good on. I'm posting them all here and setting up each image to link you to their respective website so you can "friend" them if you like, as they requested in their campaign. I don't want to blatantly smear their coupons without respecting their marketing program (or get in trouble with my favorite pizza joint!!).

You can also sign yourself up for their email list, in which you will get your own notification for their future promotions! Click here for that.

So, here you are:

Two ways to get the coupon: 1)Right-click and save as to get the image, then print. They also will let you show it on your fancy phone if you wish to save the tree and your printer ink. or 2) Click the coupon to be directed to the location's Facebook page and get the image there.
