Hey guys,
I hope you're all doing well!
I thought about sharing my journey/method of my past business as some of you can learn or benefit from it.
This is not a black hat method, and require A LOT of hard work but maybe some of you will like the idea or will get inspired by it.
2020 has been a pain in the ass to be honest and it ruined all of my business plans. Everyone on lockdown and can't go out of their houses, really shitty time..
I live in a big city and it's sucked to stay at home doing nothing. I had plans to offer my services to business as a social media marketer but around 70% of the business got shut down because of this covid shit. Most of the people are doing nothing with their lives and just waiting for covid to pass.. Basically what most of the people do is smoking weed, ordering food delivery, buy cloths and basically a lot of shit they don't need just to pass the time. Even when people don't have a job they still find the courage to buy stupid shit. That's something I've learned during this covid time and it was really surprising for me to see it!
After a few months of quarantine my friend asked me to start a new project with him in the fast food industry, an industry that suffered a lot during this time. The only ones who survive are the ones who offered food delivery. My friend is a really good chef. I was more into the marketing, design, etc so I decided to give it a try.
We've opened a pizza shop in our kitchen! Not a restaurant, just delivery. He will be the chef and I'll be in charge of the content, marketing and during opening time a delivery guy & co chef.
Now you're probably going to think to yourself.. "So this is another pizza shop, I have plenty of these in my city" and probably that's true. But the thing is that our pizza worked ONLY at night. When all of our competitors were close it was the perfect time to get the hungry customers. That's why we've decided to be open only between 10 PM to 4 AM on EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.
In a few days we've opened a Facebook page, Instagram page, Trip Adivsor and added our restarurant to Google. Also we've talked with ALOT of suppliers to get all the good and to the business running.
First few days we were just giving away free pizzas. Trying to make it better and better.. looking for feedbacks until is was good enough. First the product was ok, not good enough. But we kept learning from the feedbacks and also A LOT from worldwide famous pizza chefs on YouTube.
After the product was ready we've decided to start to market ourselves.
We took some pictures of the pizzas and created our own content. A little bit of work with Photoshop and Premiere Pro and all the ads were ready.
We've started to post everything online on our business pages and asked from our friends to repost some of it in their stories on Instagram.
Then, we've started an aggressive marketing on all of the city with Facebook ads. Really good campaign with a lot of different ads for a lot of various audiences.
This week was a success. We've sold around 5-10 pizzas a shift and we saw the protentional. We just had to remind ourselves that it will get better over time and will be profit.
Weeks moved on and we've broke a record. 50 pizzas in one shift! it was great and the business kept going. After a month we were selling around 20-30 pizza during the week and around 30-50 during the weekend. People knew about us from all over the city and even cities around it.
Even though the business worked very well I've decided to quit it and do other thing that I'm more passionate about which is social media marketing.
I had a great time doing it and it was such a great experience! But this is 24/7 job. You really need to live it and want to be 100% in.
Right now, one of the things I do is to market food shops and help them grow from nothing during this time and basically help them rise. Basically do all the marketing, content creating, design etc.
I hope that some of you will be inspired by it as I was inspired from a lot of people in this forum in the past.
Good luck with your journeys!
