BluePlate Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I just set up a pizza shop this weekend. I sold them on an idea where we fill a bulk head with pool ball style bouncy balls. If someone gets an "8" ball they win a free slice. Anyone doing this? I'm very curious to see how this does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlander Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I have heard of someone doing a similar with gumballs that say "Winner", think it was doing real well for them. Let us know how it works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-man422 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Good idea BP. I've also heard it done w/ gumballs but not the pool ball bouncy ball idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drvend1@yahoo.com Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I use the win prize on several of my set ups and i have found it to be a very good marketing tool with the locations owner. im not sure if it does increase income. it is a good feture to offer your locations in my opnion.

Beer980 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think it would do good in a pizza place that does sell by the slice. I just got my first pizza place today but they don't sell individual slices. I would consider it though if I did have a spot like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drvend1@yahoo.com Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I run it in family restaurants and the prize is: "get the 8th ball and win a free kids meal" or you can do it with "Winner Gumball" Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepavend Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Winner programs are a great way to increase sales, I have seen locations where they have a spiral gumball machine and stick $5 bills in capsules and put them in there. It is a great idea and I will be doing that in at least one spot fairly soon myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I think it would do good in a pizza place that does sell by the slice. I just got my first pizza place today but they don't sell individual slices. I would consider it though if I did have a spot like that. you could do it with a personal sized pizza,or maybe even for a large soda or bread stix. NEPAVENDING:i THINK THAT THE 5$ BILL IN A CAPSULE MIGHT BE ILLEGAL because it is considered a form of gambleing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepavend Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 In some states it may be so one should check around and research to make sure before putting in such a setup. Good thought Antonio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-man422 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I just don't like the thought of mixing gumballs and toy caps. Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
