SMS MARKETING DRIVES SIGNIFICANT UPLIFT IN SALES FOR FAITH
Powered by Mobile Interactive Technologys MIDAS platform

Fashion footwear retailer Faith required an interactive platform to power mobile marketing campaigns to enable the brand to communicate to its ever growing database and mobile opt in customers. The purpose of each SMS campaign was to provide new product information and promotional offers to drive footfall into high street stores and build brand loyalty.

SMS interactivity ran across two consecutive campaigns and delivered impressive return on investment, brand engagement and customer loyalty.

Faith activity commenced with two campaigns: Firstly, a Friends and Family promotion offering 25% off full price products which ran over a three day period, and secondly a promotion in conjunction with a high circulation fashion magazine offering 20% off full price products which ran over a six day period.

SMS marketing has proven to be an extremely successful revenue generation tool for Faith. It is quick to set up and once launched the message is instantly communicated to the customer which is especially beneficial if they are already out shopping. This makes SMS particularly strong at driving footfall in-store but has also proved to be very effective in increasing online traffic. Licensing Mobile Interactive Technologys (MIT) MIDAS Communicate platform has enabled Faith to have 100% ownership of all campaign delivery from start to finish, including real-time stats reporting.
