This must have garnered plenty of interest from the society because in the the first week the advertisement aired, it was reported that sales were up double digits. Domino’s “reverse reputation management” has served them well and Domino's comes out of all this with a new respect from consumers.
c. Innovation
In hopes of gaining new customers and recouping lost customers, Domino’s re-formulated a new pizza recipe. In addition, they also expanded their menu, from a traditional pizza only menu; their menu now includes many other non-pizza menus like boneless chicken and wings. On top of that, Domino's reinvented several other side dishes. This is another one of their innovative ideas for the menu. Since these ingredients involved dough, which is something that’s already being used in the making of pizzas, Domino’s is seen to be coming up with not only innovative ideas but also ideas that are cost effective.
