Brokers who claim to have too many options with them, have options which don't sell.Think it like ordering food at the restaurant, first they need to get your exact requirements and then prepare accordingly.Go with someone who has limited but hot selling flats and then do the fresh search for you.#flatsearch #flathunt #brokers

Katz's Deli is popping up in Los Angeles this weekend and GUESS how much one sandwich costs...$45 (!!!)And you know what?They are DEFINITELY going to sell out.This is another prime example of the power of brand.Katz’s is known for their iconic mile high sandwiches and commitment to quality(And the iconic When Harry Met Sally scene… IYKYK)They have built a legacy as a top sandwich that you can only get in NYC.So, by offering the sandwich in LA for just one day, you create scarcity, allowing you to sell it at a higher price.But this isn't a new idea.Consider All' Antico Vinaio, the famous Florentine sandwich shop that recently created a permanent shop on Abbot Kinney in LA. The result? Long lines, viral social posts, and sandwiches that people pay 4x the initial cost in Italy.The shop's been open for months, and people are still lined up around the corner every day.Another great example isIn-N-Out Burger. A West Coast cult classic, In-N-Out created mass hysteria when they expanded into Texas and Colorado. People waited in line for OVER 12 HOURS to get a burger.The limited availability outside of California has made each new state expansion a scene, driving demand and reinforcing the west coast exclusivity.My takeaway? Things are more appealing when they are not available to everyone.So... would you pay $45 for a FAVORITE sandwich?#brandmarketing #katzsdeli #brandexpansion #marketing

Happy Friday!! 😀's DEEP DISH PIZZA🍕 DAY!!Oh, my beloved pizza!🥰 Is there a single food more universally loved that is also so incredibly divisive? The most contentious of these divisions comes between New Yorkers and their New York-style slices and Chicagoans and their deep dish pies.!Deep dish pizza was invented in the Windy City in 1943 by Ike Sewell, founder of Uno’s Pizzeria. It became so popular that it spun into a huge national chain and inspired dozens upon dozens of other deep dish pizzerias in major cities across the world🌏. So tuck a napkin into your collar, grab a fork 🍴and knife (you’ll need them), and celebrate National Deep Dish Pizza Day!WAYS TO CELEBRATE 🎉NATIONAL DEEP DISH PIZZA DAY 🍕 Visit Chicago! There’s a lot more to love about the Windy City than their pizza (though their pizza is a huge draw). Snap a selfie in front of the Bean, take in a Cubs game at the iconic Wrigley field, and visit as many deep dish pizzerias as you can. You could even rank them, if you’re so inclined.🍕 Visit your nearest aUno's There are more than 130 locations in 21 different states and a couple of them exist in foreign countries!!🧑🍳 Bake your own It’s not as simple as making a regular pizza. But the fun of making it yourself, is that you get to snack on the toppings while you create! #dynamicpressurewashingandroofcleaning #homeowners #patio#driveway #siding #refresh #gutters #commercialbuildings #businesses #softwashing #decatur #madison #huntsville

In marketing, there are the four Ps - product, price, place and promotion. But when I was walking through Quincy Market at Faneuil Hall Marketplace the other day with my wife, Barbara, she added a fifth P to the list, pizza, specifically Regina Pizzeria pizza. ☺️Seriously though, If you are selling fast, casual food in any way, shape or form, Quincy Market is a great place to be located, as it's crawling with tourists and locals alike, each and every one of us looking for a good bite to eat. It's a perfect example of the importance of place when it comes to running a business, the need to be where your customers and prospects are if you want to be successful.It's a perfect example of locational excellence when it comes to a marketing case study about being where your audience is - and the fifth P, too, my wife's favorite pizza, Regina Pizzeria pizza.#Marketing #Food #Pizza #QuincyMarket #Boston
