LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - January 13, 2010) - Mogreet, Inc., the company behind the
world's first mobile video marketing platform, today announced impressive
results for a recent ground-breaking campaign for Hotel Casa del Mar in
Santa Monica demonstrating the power of mobile video marketing. The
text-to-shortcode was promoted by the hotel through traditional and social
advertising methods, including in-hotel brunch posters, email blasts,
Facebook, Twitter and the Casa del Mar website. After just 10 days of this
outreach, the campaign had already generated substantial "opt-in" user
base, a delivery rate of 100% and an engagement rate of 75%.
The campaign resulted in a 27% redemption rate, and Hotel Casa del Mar
reported generating substantial revenue from the program. More important in
the long-run, the hotel has built a database of local customers and
"staycationers" that the hotel can reach to drive revenue through hotel
services, such as food & beverage, spa treatments, etc. The ROI was more
than 450% and still growing.
An analysis of total message sends reveals 72% of all messages were sent to
cell phones in the Los Angeles metro area with the greatest number going to
phones in the 310 area code alone, which is precisely the hotel's target
consumer. The campaign ran for a total of 5 weeks, concluding on November
22, 2009. Hotel Casa del Mar successfully built a substantial mobile
database and recorded nearly 250 "mobile offer" redemptions. The combined
engagement rate for the "text in" campaign and reminder "blast" was 61%.
"The results of this campaign clearly show how mobile can be incredibly
valuable for advertisers trying to reach local consumers. In a fraction of
the time, the business built a mobile database nearly as big as their
Facebook and Twitter presence, which resulted in REAL revenue," commented
James Citron, CEO, Mogreet. "This outreach, combined with the novelty and
effectiveness of a Mogreet video message, made for a thoroughly successful
campaign, in particular at a time when email marketing is dying."
Located just down the coast from the Santa Monica pier with a beautiful
Pacific-facing terrace, the hotel's locally targeted Mogreet mobile video
marketing campaign enticed consumers to join the hotel's mobile loyalty
club, in return for a special offer (in this case, free unlimited Bloody
Marys or champagne during Sunday Brunch). Upon texting in casa to
"shortcode" 21534, consumers received a viral video on their phones that
they could redeem at the property during Sunday Brunch.
