Use Case: Sampling + Sweepstakes
From dusting off our pastels to meticulously planning how we will be getting to the beach, spring and summer are arguably two of our favorite seasons here at Wyng. Every season has something different to offer to a marketing professional's strategy. The spring and summer seasons come with unique holidays and activities, which are ideal for encouraging consumers to get outside to shop, share, or participate with your brand.
essie is doing exactly that with their latest spring/summer-inspired campaign around National Nail Polish day on June 1st. With 14 days left in their sweepstakes, essie fans can enter the sweepstakes through essie’s website or a series of Snapchat ads they are running, to win a chance to visit the essie’s HQ and design their own nail polish shade. For all of essie’s “obsessies” this sweepstakes is a knockout.
To lower the bar and give fans multiple options for submitting their form, essie is using Snapchat to serve ads encouraging people to submit their info to enter for a chance to win. As mobile usage continues to increase, savvy marketers are getting creative with how they incorporate and leverage mobile capabilities in their promotional and sweepstakes activities.
