Response to Pam Galante's Post


Has a negative stereotype or expectation of a specific group of people ever caused you to not buy a product? What about completely boycott a company because of their actions? 

The only company I have ever gone out of my way to not buy from is NEstle becuase of the plethora of illegal activities they've conducted and are continuing to conduct. usually I do not go out of my way to find the ethics of a company to determine which company i am going to go to to buy a product. Neslte is the only exception for me and the only reason I even found out about their unethical practices was from a report a student did for school. After that I looked into the company and decided that if I can help it i will pick their competitors over them.

Pizza Hut Crazy Cheesy Crust

Pizza Hut has an answer to get bigger sales and increase profits...More cheese. This answer has inspired a new pizza that The chain on Wednesday is introducing a new pizza that comes surrounded by 16 semi-circles of cheese that can be pulled off and eaten separately. The "Crazy Cheesy Crust," which will be available for several weeks, is 16 half circle breadsticks with cheese on them. Pizza Hut has always been know for pushing the limits and possibilities of crust and cheese, and this latest creation may very well be the "monalisa" of cheesy crust pizza they've been working toward. it will be interesting to see if they can market it in a way that makes it the new standard of their pizzas.

How and to who should Pizza Hut market this new pizza to, and what techniques should they implement?
