Alana Moray sought to increase brand exposure in the LA market by sponsoring weekend mobile marketing campaigns focused on LA club goers. Alana Moray had a huge following on Facebook and Twitter, but it wasn’t really translating to an increase in jewelry sales. Now the agency wanted to add SMS to the marketing mix and implemented a text-to-win opportunity for club goers to win a 14k gold pendant inscribed with the name and logo of the popular LA dance club Boulevard3.
The object was to collect mobile numbers on site at the club. The campaign was promoted with flyers offering drink tickets that were given to guests when they entered the club. To get a free drink, clubgoers had to text to the Alana Moray campaign number. Then they were invited to enter into the contest for the Alana Moray pendant. Winners were notified every Saturday night at midnight by text, on the wide screen monitors in the club, and announcements made by the deejay.
Alana Moray achieved much greater brand awareness and offered club goers who had opted-in the choice to text song requests to the deejay that showed on the club’s monitor. Overall, Alana Moray was able to get an opt-in rate of 30% of the club goers. The agency was able to get a large opt-in list for future Alana Moray promotions. Within six months, sales for the jewelry line increased by 12%. The agency was also able to launch a mobile survey program for club goers to vote on their top clubs and request fulfillment for new pendants. The agency found that they were able to get much greater feedback from the mobile surveys that was far superior to what they were getting on social channels. –KK
