Pizza Hut Lures Facebook Users with Free P’Zone

While Facebook “Likes” have hardly any meaning for the promotion of a brand, many desperate outfits are trying to entice Facebook users with baits of different types.

Close on the heels of “Like It Live, Like It Together” Facebook campaign announcement by Bacardi rum, T.G.I. Friday’s recently announced its Buy Your Friend A Beer App for Facebook users. (Read: Buy Your Friend a Beer Offer on Facebook)

Pizza Hut is among the latest to jump on the bandwagon.

Through Saturday, August 13, fans who “like” Pizza Hut on Facebook or join the Hut Lovers email program will receive a free P’Zone with any online pizza purchase.  The brand claims more than 50,000 fans on Facebook took advantage of this offer the first day. P’Zone, the Pizza Hut take on a delicious, cheese and topping-filled calzone, is available for $5 at participating Pizza Hut restaurants and free for a limited time.

“When it comes to unmatched taste at a great price, it doesn’t get any better than the $5 P’Zone at Pizza Hut – unless we just give it away,” said Kurt Kane, chief marketing officer at Pizza Hut.
