Campaign – CHOCOLATE A LITTLE SWEETER
How Ferrero made youngsters go crazy right at the POS & saved them their pocket money.

Company
12Snap - A NeoMedia Technologies Company (neom.com).

Goals
Develop an innovative mass-market campaign for Ferrero’s premium brands duplo and hanuta to create immediate activation for sales of the products. Use a mechanism that attracts young adults and generates an added value.

Idea
All products were activated with unique codes. Buyers of the product could redeem their code by sending a simple text message, the favorite hobby of youngsters. After that they received a piece of mobile content as an instant reward directly at the POS. The added value for the participant: The mobile content was derived from the blockbuster hit “Madagascar” and was given away for free (usually worth 2-5 Euro in market)! An additional collector’s album for the mobile phone made people go wild for collecting all content pieces (50 different kinds in total) and generated repeat purchases.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Results
An incredible 9% response rate and 850.000 participations in only 15 weeks. 30% of all participants entered a series of codes during the promotion; the most active participant even entered 62 codes!
