Brand: Philips

Campaign: Introduction of the Sonicare Electronic Toothbrush

Goals:

- Build awareness on the newly introduced Sonicare Toothbrush

- Generate extra store traffic and increase sales

- Create buzz around the brand with an innovative campaign

 

Solution

As part of the promotion campaign around the introduction of the Sonicare Electronic Toothbrush in the Netherlands, Philips approached Emexus to develop a mobile marketing campaign. Billboards, brochures and the Philips website prompted interested customers to SMS their zipcode to a shortcode in order to receive information on the nearest store carrying the product. Emexus developed a ‘store locator’ application with in their platform, which mapped the nearest store based on the postal code and returned a free MO with address details and a route description.

 

Results

Results were above expectations. Over 3000 customers made use of this service the first week of the launch. Positive feedback has been received by participating retail chains and Philips is thinking of re using the format in new campaigns.
