Goals
- Create a COVID compliant promotion
- Grow the client’s email list of subscribers
- Increase brand awareness for Johnson’s Sausage Shoppe
Solution
Through a multi-channel promotion, Meat Raffle Mondays was a contest spanning over 3 months, with 4 large opportunities to win. Each raffle winner received a $100 gift card to the raffle sponsor Johnson’s Sausage Shoppe in Rio, WI.
Our team put together a state-wide campaign to reach The Farm listeners across the station’s network and it lived on The Farm’s website. We captured data and email addresses for every participant who entered to win. We used email marketing to promote the contest to the Farm Network’s listener database and promoted the contest on social media.
Participants could enter to win once per day and earn bonus entries by sharing on social media.
