Domino’s using social channels to save ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars’ on testing
Social media is playing an increasingly influential role for pizza chain Domino’s with its chief marketer claimed it is saving the company hundreds of thousands of dollars in group consumer research.
Allan Collins said feedback on Twitter and Facebook was responsible for several key product decisions, with the rise of social “changing the way we interact with customers”.
No longer is there a need to conduct expensive consumer forums to gauge sentiment when thousands are providing feedback 24 hours a day through social channels, he said.
Excellent news. Welcome to 2011 everyone.
I think the difference with Domino’s compared to everyone jumping on 2011 is they are doing it right. They are letting people on social media and through their make your own pizza craze, shape what pizzas they offer. I can’t think of any other Australian brands who are letting social media decide their products as much as Domino’s.
@Jack – agree. Well done Domino’s.. your pizzas are not for me, but you’re doing you’re social marketing right. or at the very least making a dam good effort at it compared to a lot of Australian companies.
While I get the welcome to 2011 comment it’s 2014 and most brands are yet to treat social in the way domino’s does.
Pity they didn’t consumer test their new mobile app which is a pile of crap. Bring back the old one!
