Sales for Domino's Pizza are 50 percent higher in Japan than they are in the U.S., and it's all in how the dish is marketed there. In Japan, successful marketing made Kentucky Fried Chicken the go-to food for Christmas Eve; now Domino's is pushing for pizza to take the title:
Japanese consumers are also far more concerned about presentation than their American counterparts, so Domino's came up with rather creative ways to promote its product. For example, a heart-shaped box with the message "Be careful. This pizza and you two are really hot. Don't get burned!" for Valentine's Day(lead image). Clever.
Domino's even got jazzy with the toppings (and price), creating a $50 pizza called the "Prestige Quattro" with four different toppings (second image). Pizza accented by seafood is far more elegant than KFC, right?
