The primary focus of the Marketing Program is to engage in programs that enable us to increase sales measurably, while creating a bond with our local communities and neighborhoods. Vocelli Pizza is committed to supporting franchisees with help to increase their sales and profitability. One way to do this is through local store marketing.

| Q. |
|
Do I have to buy my food and equipment from the Corporate Office? |
|
|
| A. |
|
Franchisees secure their inventory and equipment through approved third party distributors. Vocelli works to select the assortment of products and equipment necessary to produce our signature products. We negotiate on behalf of the franchise community to secure the lowest possible prices and pass the savings to our franchisees through third party vendors. This helps insure that the consumer experience is the same regardless of the geographical location of our units and allows our franchisees to focus on delivering great service and fresh products. |
