Solow.com Text-to-Phone Case Study )RH Brands)
 
Overview
 
SendMe Mobile, a premier mobile media company, partnered with RH Brands to drive consumer subscriptions to their mobile sweepstakes game, Solow.  RH Brands and  SendMe  worked together to create a mix of mobile and in-call promotions using unique prizing and calls-to-action, allowing users to opt-in when they hear the promotion on their mobile phones.
 
Campaign Goal
 
To enroll a maximum number of callers in the Solow Elite membership, allowing members to play for prizes on their mobile phones.
 
Call-to-Action
Using a combination of in-call audio advertisements on the RH Brands network of humor hotlines and SMS distribution to RH Brands mobile fans, RH Brands promoted the Solow game using a Las Vegas get-away prize promotion.
 
SMS:
RH Brands Mobile Fan Club members received a text message promoting a new RH humor hotline.  This SMS message included a mention of the prize:
 
NEW Humor Hotline: Call 772-257-4481 to hear what the TOOTH FAIRY is really all about! )Chance to win Vegas Trip at end!) From RejectionHotline.com
 
In-call:
When message recipients called the phone number )in the case, we used the ‘Call the Tooth Fairy’ hotlines), the in-call audio advertisement prompted those interested to press star to receive a text message from Solow, thereby initiating the double opt-in sequence.
 
Results
 
Given that RH fans had received a text message ‘teasing’ the Vegas promotion, callers to the ‘Call the Tooth Fairy’ lines signed up for the offer at a rate 5-times higher than the normal sign-up rate with audio ad promotion only )no text message teaser), generating an effective CPM of over $121.  Daily effective CPMs reached as high as $168.
