The History
Family-owned pizzerias and local chains have long been the lifeblood of many communities, crafting unique, hand-tossed pizzas that tell a story of heritage, passion, and tradition. But the changing market dynamics, driven by convenience store chains like Casey's and Wawa, have begun to pose a significant challenge.
According to a recent report from Restaurant Business Online, these convenience store giants are swiftly expanding their pizza market, leveraging their vast footprint and convenience-focused model to serve up freshly-made pizzas. Their aggressive expansion (Casey's is planning to add 300+ stores in 2023-2024) and marketing strategies are starting to take a bite out of local pizzerias' market share, threatening their survival.
The Challenges: Scale and Visibility
Convenience store chains have an inherent advantage of scale, both in terms of locations and marketing budgets. Their pervasive presence allows them to quickly build awareness and acceptance of their pizza offerings. Additionally, their deep pockets enable robust advertising campaigns, further solidifying their presence in consumers' minds.
However, it's not just about the scale. The evolving consumer preference for convenience and quick service is another factor. Because of their diverse product offerings these chains can serve their pizzas quickly, meeting the demands of today's time-pressed consumers, without concern for product waste because profits are found elsewhere.
Benaiah Studios: The Secret Sauce to Your Success
Despite these challenges, family-owned pizzerias and local chains possess a unique strength - authenticity. The local establishment tells a story, a story of heritage, tradition, and commitment to quality. And this is where Benaiah Studios steps in, helping these locations turn their authenticity into their greatest competitive advantage.
At Benaiah Studios, we understand the value of a compelling story and the power of visual content in telling that story. We offer a comprehensive suite of services to elevate your brand presence and help you stand tall against the industry sharks.
Professional Branding: We help restaurants take control of their visual content from pictures (& videos) of their food and presentation to the descriptions on the menu. That way the restauranteur can focus on bringing the food and customer experience, while we bring their story to life, highlighting their unique offerings in an engaging manner. From the magic that happens in the kitchen, the heartfelt moments at the table, and the dedication of the staff, we'll put it on full display for the world to see.
Strategic Social Media Campaigns: Social media is the new word-of-mouth. We help brands create visually stunning and strategically driven social media campaigns that will foster a community around the brand and amplify their visibility in an already competitive market.
Website & Menu Copy: A brand's online presence is their digital storefront. We can revamp a restaurant's menu with cutting edge presentations of their food transporting the customer into the kitchen and activating their salivary glands on command. Taking it further, we help restaurants tell their story through compelling videos that they can display directly on their website, social, and even 3rd party platforms like "Yelp!".
