IHOB is Proof that the Internet is more Powerful than you Think.

by bmp_admin | Jun 15, 2018 | General | 0 comments

This week one of the most well-known restaurants, the International House of Pancakes — or IHOP, made an amazing marketing ploy. The chain has been talking about changing their name for months on many social media outlets, leaking a few weeks ago that the “P” will be changed to a “B”. Many of the public believed that the “B” would stand for breakfast. On Monday, the chain announced that it would now be specializing in…burgers.

And the internet went wild.

Twitter users seemed to take the most action against this change.  As of today, there were 170 tweets per hour mentioning IHOB. From funny jokes to outright rage, to fast food chains giving their opinions, the simple flipping of the letter p has thrown the internet into a frenzy. (We suggested reading some of the tweets because they are very humorous)

Like all internet trends, the truth has come out a few days later. The chain has spoken out to stay that they are not actually changing their name. They were just trying to make a creative campaign in order to market their new line of burgers. And boy, did it work. As the Wall Street Journal reports, before the stunt, many people admitted to not knowing what IHOP stood for in the first place. The social media frenzy that this joke created has done nothing but good for the company. IHOP, as a company,  was down in sales for the last 10 quarters. This Twitter run has given IHOP hundreds of millions of dollars in free advertising, which is projecting mega sales for the chain. It has also put IHOP in the forefront of most Americans’ minds, maybe for the first time in a while.

The IHOB/IHOP campaign has proven that the internet is one underused marketing tool that many people overlook. By having a great website, social media presence, videos and web content you are giving yourself a whole new audience. You are reaching out to people who might not realize you are around or reminding those who know you that you are still relevant.

Business as usual is a phrase many, if not all of us long for lately. When ostensibly everything short of gas stations and grocery stores shut down, we were all caught off guard and flat footed. If you owned a business, fear was probably all that you felt.
