Ace Hardware and Microsoft Mobile Advertising drive increased store traffic and brand awareness.

Ace Hardware is America’s most historic local maintenance and repair business. During the 2009 holiday season, Ace needed to differentiate their business and reach their loyal customers with special offers and promotions surrounding their Holiday Sales Series.

The campaign with Microsoft Mobile aimed to reinforce Ace’s neighborhood appeal, drive in-store traffic and increase Ace’s share of the maintenance and home repair business.

Mobile Media is gearing up to complement traditional marketing such as print, radio and television. The versatility, ubiquity and mobility of mobile phones give businesses who invest in the dot Mobi domain an advantage of a bigger consumer market. Mobile advertising and dot Mobi domains are already reaching millions of users.

Companies embarking on mobile marketing campaigns need to be mindful of the fact that often the key differentiator that will increase the impact of their campaign is the added value of the intellect and understanding of the medium by their mobile media partner. This value was borne out in the recent Jenna Clifford Valentine’s Day campaign.
