Hunt Brothers Pizza Kicks Off New Promotion with April Fools Prank

Mock ‘ReelFish Pizza’ playfully used to introduce Hook, Line & Winner sweepstakes.

April 04, 2016

NASHVILLE, Tenn.  – “It might not be real fish pizza, but you sure will get a chance to win real fishing prizes,” said Keith Solsvig, vice president of marketing at Hunt Brothers Pizza.

The announcement for the brand’s newest limited time offer pizza—ReelFish Pizza—was made in jest on April 1 to encourage a bigger splash around the legitimate launch of the Hunt Brothers Pizza sweepstakes, Hook, Line & Winner.

“We wanted to ‘test the waters’ and have a little fun with the announcement of our newest promotion,” Solsvig explained. “So with Hook, Line & Winner kicking off around April Fools’ Day, it only made sense to playfully announce it in conjunction with a witty LTO. Our fans are passionate about our LTOs and sweepstakes alike. But mark my words: The ReelFish Pizza won’t be in stores any time soon!”

While customers may not be able to get their hands on Hunt Brothers Pizza fish pizza, they will be able to enter to win top-of-the-line fishing gear starting April 4 through Hook, Like & Winner. For those really disappointed in missing out on a Hunk A ReelFish Pizza, they are encouraged to enter daily. With prizes this good up for grabs, 10 lucky winners may be quickly on their way to creating a fish pizza of their very own.

Prizes are from some of the top brands in the fishing industry, including:

  • Grand Prize: Grizzly 1760 Sportsman Boat (valued at $16,000)
  • 1st Prize (five): Archenemy bowfishing package (valued at $379 each)
  • 2nd Prize (five): $200 Bass Pro Shops gift card
  • 3rd Prize (five): $100 Bass Pro Shops gift card

According to Solsvig, “A large number of our customers are huge fishing fans, so it makes sense to offer a fishing-themed promotion. As we approach fishing season and many are gearing up to visit their favorite fishing holes, we wanted to connect with them and provide an opportunity to win some new gear.

To enter, customers should visit a participating Hunt Brothers Pizza retailer to buy a whole pizza in a specially marked Hook, Line & Winner box with a unique entry code. The contest ends May 31, 2016.
