Appetizing Apps: Domino’s Gobbles up the Competition with Digital



In 2009, Domino’s Pizza announced that it was improving the quality of their pies,and since January 2010 they have watched their shares jump up by 750%. This year Domino’s shares went up an impressive 51% but it’s not simply the better ingredients in the pizzas that have boosted this year’ssales.
Apart from the increase in overseas sales, the main ingredient for the company’s recent growth has been investments in digital and mobile marketing. Their apps promise to make placing and tracking orders faster and easier for customers.
Domino’s research shows that customers order pizza 21 times every year and that six or seven of these orders comes to them. “Loyalty is not strong, we think—that’s why we are so focused on the digital because we think it’s one of the fronts that will enhance our loyalty,” saidDomino’s CFO, Michael Lawton.
The company has mobile ordering applications that are compatible with about 95% of smartphones. IPhone, Kindle, and Android users can download their mobile apps at https://order.dominos.com/en/pages/content/content.jsp?page=apps&so=hp. In August 2013, Domino’s launched a “Pizza Profiles” campaign that encouraged online customers to save their personal information so that they can reorder their favorite items in as little as five clicks, or about 30 seconds.Domino’s claims that it generates $2 billion in worldwide digital sales per year of which 35% is generated by mobile devices. CEO Patrick Doyle attributeshigher customer loyalty and order frequency to its digital ordering system.
