PET SUPPLIES “PLUS” Social Campaign

Project: Marketing campaign
Company: Pet Supplies Plus

Pet Supplies Plus Newsletter

Pet Supplies Plus Social Media

CHALLENGE:

Connect with customers to induce repeat buy, improved customer loyalty and new customer referrals. Any marketing campaign needs to be cost effective so that the customer connection can continue and grow.

SOLUTION:

Involving customers in the creation of a new product. A slogan contest offered the chance for customers to create slogans and designs for a new T-Shirt that will be sold in the stores. The unique way of involving the customer in the creation of a product builds an emotional connection between the consumer and the brand. It not only increases exposure for the product before it exists, but it increases demand and brand loyalty for the long run.
This campaign resulted in more than 150 posts on the PSPIndy Facebookwall which simultaneously open up the chance for increased impressions through the friends of participants. Each entry into the contest adds data that can be used to improve future marketing efforts, to boot – they all received special auto download offers to drive customers to the stores!

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL:

“The cost to gain new customers is expensive, and keeping connected to those customers can be as well. After working with Redwall Live for over 2 years, with their help we’ve been able to not only maximize our customer connection, but it is extremely cost effective too. They’ve brought both creative ideas and repeatable systems. Our customers have thanked us for valuable content, our Facebook pages have come to life and our database has grown both in size and value!”

Marketing to email unsubscribers

To the typical email marketer, if someone unsubscribes from your email list you’ve lost them. This may indicate that they are less interested than someone else, or maybe they simply are cleaning the inbox out. The fact is what makes email marketing most effective is the little things. Unsubscribes is an example of those little things. It is one of the things that most people don’t put much thought into when building their email marketing strategy.

I recently unsubscribed from the Barnes & Noble newsletter. I joined through a rewards program and found it interesting to see what new products were released, etc. but it just wasn’t something I was paying that much attention to. For this reason, I decided to leave their digital family. Incidentally I purchase from them almost weekly so I don’t think they are mad about this.

First, they gave me options. Maybe I just wanted certain topics, or maybe I only wanted certain frequency? This made me feel like they respected my desire to keep my inbox clean but still receive information from them that I wanted or when I wanted it.

Barnes & Noble Email Marketing

Email Marketing: give options of frequency or topic.

Next, after I had made my decision, they gave me a kind salutation and a convenient button to shop for more products.

Barnes & Noble Email Unsubscribe

Invite them to shop some more

It was by impulse that I almost clicked that button. If I had been remotely ready to make a purchase I would have done so. The fact is, putting these simple additions into the email marketing path increase sales. It doesn’t mean that everyone makes another purchase, it just means that some do – and it costs no more than the cost of the Indianapolis Marketing company to think of all these things and implement them.

This is the tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds of little elements that can not only increase buyer loyalty and sales, but extend the customer experience you deliver in person, directly to your customers inbox.

Experiential Marketing in high definition

HD CameraOver years of generating habits and creating lifestyles, we learn to live a certain way. We make the daily choices that we make because we have become comfortable with it or used to it. We recently put together a marketing campaign here in Indianapolis area based around inviting people to step out of the ordinary and experience the extraordinary. Living life in High Definition. We see “in high def.” on a screen, but when do we see this well in real life? With as colorful as life is, wouldn’t you want to see it at it’s best? Wouldn’t you like to see if high definition?

This is something that we considered when designing a marketing campaign for RevolutionEYES. When creating a viral marketing campaign or contest, social media alone will not get people excited. We sought partnerships that would make for an exciting Experiential Marketing event! Allow me to expound:

High Definition, Experiential Marketing Contest

The idea is this. iZon is a lense product that feature high definition vision! The technology allows the user to experience clearer vision, especially when in low lighting or bright sun, etc. They now have a children’s lens, so RevolutionEYES decided to make this contest the feature of their back to school bash. Parents enter their child for the opportunity to live in high definition! What does that mean? Well we partnered with Freedom Helicopters, the Indianapolis Zoo and Indiana ICE to give the winning child the VIP Experience of a lifetime! They will get to fly a helicopter, ride a zambonie, drop the first puck, go behind the scenes at the zoo… all to be captured on camera for the ‘live in high definition’ commercial.

Here’s what we like about this:

- It is an exciting experience for a kid!

- It gives people a compelling reason to talk about RevolutionEYES

- RevolutionEYES is maximizing their investment in a commercial

- Most importantly we are inviting people to step out of the ordinary.

So by offering people the opportunity to do something that for many is once in a lifetime, we are encouraging people to think outside of the limits of what we grow up with. You can already watch TV in High Def, but do you live in High Definition?
