What does EXCLUSIVITY mean?
We seek to work with top promotionally minded, customer driven businesses in local areas serving pizza shop owners and managers on an exclusive basis.  Only one business in a particular field/category is allowed to participate in any market.

Does exclusivity extend to the Pizza Pak online directory program?
No. Our online directory program is open to any business.  However, our Pizza Pak direct mail participants are provided with the following online programs free of charge

  • a sponsorship (featured) box
  • a separate listing in your main business category
  • an additional listing for the specific direct mail area you are participating in our Pizza Pak direct mailer 

How does my page not get "lost" in the pak?
We limit the number of Pizza Pak participants per area.  Although this places limitations on our earnings by having fewer pak participants, we feel as though this is necessary in order that each page is looked at.

Can we offer more than one product or service on our page?
Since you design your own page, you are able to include whatever you want on your page.  We do reserve the right to reject or edit any advertisement.  But, think about it.  If you offer a product or service which is not related to your main product or service, your company will not come off as a focused company.  This is why we monitor the submitted camera ready art very carefully.  (Don't laugh.  we did have a rubbish removal service who added a payroll service to their page.  We caught it.)

What is the minimum number of times we can try out your Pizza Pak?
We recommend an annual participation (or 4 insertion minimum).  This promotes stability within our Pizza Pak.  (In order to secure multi year participation and keep the current rate, you may sign up for a maximum of 3 years.)

Can we change our page for each insertion?
Yes.

We would like to have our page printed elsewhere and then inserted into your Pizza Pak.  Can this be done?
Absolutely.   We do require 5 unprinted pages of the paper stock that you will be using to test them out on our mail processing equipment prior to granting approval.  (We reserve the right to increase your rate if the submitted paper stock weighs more than our 20# paper stock.)

Is there a reduction in rate for our submitting our own printed pieces? No.  Since we usually have to slow down our collating process to accommodate pieces printed elsewhere, we are unable to offer a price reduction.

What about when you expand your Pizza Pak into other areas?  Would we get to know about it?
Yes.  All pak participants are notified FIRST whenever we are about to open our paks in other areas. We have found that working with current pak participants, growing their businesses, is mutually beneficial.

Once accepted into your Pizza Pak program, can we lose our participation?
Your future participation in our Pizza Pak program will be in jeopardy if you fail to resolve any pizza shop owner or manager's complaint or if there is a credit issue.
Let us deal with the unresolved complaint issue. If we are contacted by any pizza shop owner or manager with a specific complaint against any of our participant advertisers, we will contact that advertiser participant in an effort to resolve the issue.  If we cannot, this could jeopardize future participation by that advertiser.
Now, let's talk about credit issues.  If paid by company check we require prepayment upfront: no issue.  However, if payment is made by credit card, there were instances when charges were declined.  Should your credit card charges be declined and you do not correct this matter upon being notified, your participation will be forfeited.   

How does your online PizzaPak.com program work?
Pizza shop owners and managers  are encouraged to visit PizzaPak.com frequently.  Here they will be able to take advantage of special, online coupon offers as well as  be linked to vendor websites - YOUR website - having products or services they are seeking.  (Future plans will allow vendors to provide audio and visual presentations of their product or service.)  We also offer LIMITED banner opportunities to 3 local companies who will have their banner visible to local pizza shop owners and managers the entire time they are visiting their  local area's Pizza Pak page.)
