...grown to become the largest pizza delivery company in the United States. It has grown from a mom-and-pop pizza store to a network of company-owned, franchise-owned stores in the United States and across the globe and was recently ranked number 1 in Forbes magazine’s “Top 20 Franchises for the Money” list (David, R 2013, p. 372). Domino’s Pizza was the brain child of the brothers Tom and James Monaghan who grew up in foster care and had dreams of success. In 1960 the brothers opened their first pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan named Domi-Nicks with a nine hundred dollar start up loan. In 1961 Tom acquired full and sole ownership of Domi-Nicks by trading his brother James a car, a Volkswagen Beetle to be specific, for his half of the business. He then changed the name to Domino’s Pizza Inc. During the period from 1965 to 1978 Domino’s experienced steady growth and had increased from the initial mom-and-pop store, to having 200 locations nationwide. The 1980’s saw continued expansion of Domino’s and its brand.

Due to the fact that Dunkin’ Donuts is already successful company with many loyal customers, our group decided to make your company the topic of our choosing. Because of the current success of the company, we realized that Dunkin’ Donuts already has an effective marketing strategy. Instead, we wanted to create another aspect to this current marketing strategy to take Dunkin’ Donuts to another level. We have spent a great deal of our semester researching your company and effective advertising methods. Because of this, we hope that you will find this proposal to be beneficial for the marketing department and could possibly incorporate it into your marketing strategy in the future. Since your company is very successful currently, we did not feel it was necessary to change any of the current marketing strategies and techniques. However, we do feel it is time to incorporate some new and young ideas. Through our research we noticed that Dunkin’ Donuts is lacking in the many college communities. As a result, we are concerned that college students will support companies that have a strong...

However, all of these methods are cumbersome, and require either a physical activity (writing a check or completing a wire transfer), or exchanging physical currency. This complicates the process, requiring two people to meet in person, one to have physical currency (or to have and write a check), and then the eventual deposit of the recipient’s funds into a bank account. However, with the rise of the internet and the proliferation of smartphones, a major innovation has been made in the way that people exchange money. To clarify, this is not talking about a person paying an established business, but rather paying someone for babysitting, mowing a lawn, splitting the cost of gas, or paying back a friend for a meal. This innovation is Image from WashingtonPost.com Image from WashingtonPost.com known as peer-to-peer payment systems.
