There's no such thing as a Free Pizza

Remember that secret restaurant that was giving away free pizzas, and all you had to do was find it?

Well look. It's a marketing campaign. For Yellow Pages.

+ 2 for creativity.

- 100 for using the same bait-n-switch tactics creepy evangelical Christians used to use on first year uni students.

First I have heard about it.

$10 says if you surveyed the customers of Hidden Pizza, a decent percentage of them would have found the location & the contact number through a channel OTHER than The Yellow Pages, and at a guess, the majority of customers would tell you that this campaign will not increase their use of Yellow Pages or Yellow Pages online as a search method for local business at all.

I'm also sure a large percentage would think that the hidden factor, the hipness, the eco-friendly nature of the place and the fact that they got schmancy pizza for free overrides the fact that some dinosaur business is desperately trying to reposition themselves as still relevant with a youth market.

What did the creepy evangelical Christians used to do?
