According to Cecilie, who is in charge of doing all the newsletters and the text messages for the brand, setting up the selected wheel game was a quick process, it took her just an hour, while organising the associated logistics took a few more hours. The entire Black Friday campaign, which was fully integrated and aligned with the marketing department, was completed in approximately ten days.
The discussion also included how Power integrated Scratcher to their CRM system, Voyado, into the campaign’s backend. This integration process was straightforward and any arising issues were promptly resolved. Data, along with email and SMS consents, were sent to Voyado, resulting in customers being added to the contact list.
The careful selection of prizes in their campaigns was a deliberate strategy. They chose popular products that are frequently featured in their marketing channels, enhancing recognition and interest. This approach has proven effective, as the high recognition of the prizes fosters sustained interest. Participants often recognize a product from a TV ad and then discover they can win it in the game, creating a strong link.
The campaign’s engagement level was evidenced by the fact that of the 300,000 participations, they came from 136,000 unique entries, indicating that many engaged multiple times, highlighting its success as a multi-day campaign. Significant engagement was driven by website pop-ups, which reached 1.4 million viewers, and text messages that guided people to participate in the game on the website.
This innovative campaign has established, once again, POWER as a forward-thinking player in the consumer electronics category. By incorporating gamification marketing and strategic planning, they effectively engaged customers, gathered consents, and enhanced conversion rates. Power’s focus on creating personalised experiences and customer satisfaction is clear from their effort in building relationships and evaluating the campaign’s effectiveness.
Power identified crucial insights for eCommerce/Retail Marketing and Data teams:
- The potential for recapturing consent should not be underestimated. Even with high existing consent rates, there’s always an opportunity for growth. Despite already possessing a substantial number of email consents, POWER managed to acquire about 60,000 additional consents during the Black Friday gamification campaign.
- While generating leads is valuable, converting them into customers is what truly drives business expansion. POWER didn’t just collect email consents; they also attracted approximately 45,697 new MyPower club members, increasing the customer base potential and revenue. Loyalty programs like MyPower are a win-win, customers get bonus points & exclusive deals, while businesses get loyal customers.
