A Promotion Heard ‘Round the World
Thursday, August 26th, 2010I’ve featured the Compressed T-shirts before on my blog and I explained how they’re a unique way to promote with a small marketing budget, but here’s a creative idea that went from being a simple compressed T-shirt to a promotion heard ’round the world!
The idea: Create a miniature version of Kathleen, a sales rep from the company, and see how many places the mini Kathleen can go. Customers will take photos with the Mini Kathleen in different places and doing different activities then send them to the real Kathleen to add to her blog and social media sites.
This tiny idea turned into a huge deal. Check out the places and people that were affected by this promotion:
Kathleen used these real customer photos to connect with her clients and build that customer loyalty. A simple and creative way to have fun with your promotions and not break the bank! What item do you sell? Want to try to get your customers more involved with your items? Contact me to today and lets discuss it.
