3. 20% Increase
Big Ten Basketball Tournament Attendance
SMS Text Messages – Targets Basketball Fans:
Big Ten called on Mobile Sports Group to help increase attendance at the Men’s
& Women’s Big Ten Basketball Tournament in 2011. Within 50 miles
surrounding Conseco Field House in Indianapolis, Mobile Sports Group, has
222,157 Basketball Fans - email and mobile consumers in company database.
Daryl Seaton, Marketing Director at the Big Ten, elected to use SMS, and Mobile
Sports Group was able to segment the Basketball Fans based on Big Ten Alumni
and targeted 50,000 of these Basketball Fans earning over $100 HH income
with families. The week prior to the Basketball Tournament, Mobile Sports
Group sent out 2x SMS Text messages to 50,000 Basketball Fans driving people
to Ticketmaster website to purchase Big Ten Men’s & Women's Basketball
Tournament Tickets.
Attendance for the tournament that concluded Sunday was a nearly 20-percent
increase from last year’s mark and the highest since Indianapolis began hosting
the event on an annual basis in 2008.
Seaton said a stronger effort to sell tickets involved SMS advertising, with 95%
of all consumers opening text messages, it was a perfect way for us to reach
Basketball Fans and convert these fans into ticket buyers. We also included
promotions to season ticketholders at each university, and a new program that
offered discounted tickets to students that could be purchased at each campus.
Using SMS to reach specific targeted Basketball Fans, Big Ten Alumni, with $100K HH income
with families was extremely successful. Daryl Seaton, Big Ten Conference.

5. Wisconsin Recall – Case Study
OBJECTIVE: We got a call from the Republican Party August 4th at 4PM,
they asked us if we could send text messages out on Monday August 8th,
the day before Wisconsin Recall Vote… They sent us the Wisconsin
Republican file at 7PM on Thursday Night, as you know it takes time to do
an append process, we worked on the project Friday & Saturday in order
to be ready to deliver SMS messages on Monday…
With limited time, we also suppressed their Republican File against our
Republican File, we identified new Republican voters in our database, we
also sent text messages to this group to remind Republicans to vote on
Tuesday… The results;
RESULTS
GOP Retains Senate Control
Republicans retained majority control of the Wisconsin Senate in a recall
election that was spurred by Republican Gov. Scott Walker's agenda of
cutting unionized state workers' rights. The recalls drew more than $30
million in campaign spending, fueled by millions of dollars from national
labor groups, a coalition of national unions spent millions on attack ads
and other campaign activity to wrest seats from the Republicans.
Many factors played a role in these elections, Mobile Sports Group was selected to
deliver an SMS “PUSH” Vote Message the day before the election… MSG in baseball
terms, SMS was the closer. When you have 95% of all text messages being open and
read within (15) minutes, you can deliver your message to get out an vote… Thanks
Wisconsin Republicans Win Recall to MSG SMS Campaign, it made a difference in the outcome.
Elections, Hold Senate!

6. Sponsorship Increases Company Email
Marketing Campaigns
19.6% Open Rate Targeting New Prospects
According to the Direct Marketing Association average open
rate is between 3% - 4% reaching new prospects coming from
a 3rd Party Email Consumer Database.
Marketing e-mails using Company In-House List are seeing an
average open rate of nearly 20% and a click-through rate of
6.64% - Direct Marketing Association (2011).
Subject Line “You Can Save Big on Car Insurance from
Esurance” had 19.6% Open Rate targeting new prospects.
Esurance almost achieved what companies achieve when
targeting their own customers in their database.
We believe that these test results helps validate how a Pac-12
Sponsorship can provide a huge impact on Esurance email
marketing when combining these two brands together. The
new prospect open rates are huge when marketing these two
brands together.
We are very happy with our email results and
combining our brand with the Pac-12. Justine
Cutler, Database Marketing Manager,
Esurance
7. Continental Airlines - Case Study
OBJECTIVE
The goal of the mobile campaign was to generate brand awareness and
interest regarding the reduced fare promotion and drive traffic to the
Continental mobile site.
Target audience
The campaign targeted a mobile Internet savvy smartphone audience
between the ages of 25-54, with household income levels $100K+, and
had traveled for business within the last three months.
Strategy
Reach Continental’s desired demographic audience across several key
hubs for Continental Airlines. Reaching business travelers with Email &
SMS campaigns to measure user perception and awareness of the
Continental brand in mobile, and measure user purchase intent on the
mobile Internet. The ads promoted Continental’s inexpensive air fare.
Results
Had the highest number of $100,000+ respondents and frequent business
travelers and was successful at driving increases with business travelers.
As a result of the campaign, ad awareness increased by 60% and Web site
awareness increased by 15.4%. Purchase Intent increased by 22.3% and
mobile airline ticket purchase intent went up by 22.2%.
For Continental, a seat is perishable as the revenue potential disappears
once the flight has flown. Airlines simply want to sell the right seat to the
right passenger at the right time at the right price. What better medium,
than mobile to accomplish this objective. It’s personal, easy to segment
and easy to measure.

10. BMW – MMS Campaign
Luxury brands such as BMW are implementing personalized MMS messages to initiate their
customer relationship marketing efforts, seeing significant conversion rates and revenue with just
one campaign.
MMS allows customers to get video, text and images into one message so that consumers do not
have to click through or leave the message to get all of the information. BMW saw significant
revenue and conversion rates by using MMS to increase CRM. Luxury brands differentiate
themselves based on service and quality, affluent consumer’s value information that is highly
personalized and targeted to them.
Ultimate clicking machine
BMW sent a customized message to 1,200 customers reminding them to buy winter tires. The
message directed them to a BMW dealership and recommended a specific tire that was shown on
the customer’s vehicle in a video. All of the information was in the MMS, including the price of the
tire, lists of dealerships in the area and a picture and description of the tire. BMW saw a 30
percent conversion rate and an estimated $500,000 in revenue with this one campaign.

OBJECTIVE: Use Fox Sports TV & Digital (Traditional Media) and offer Stihl the
opportunity to reach consumers through email marketing (New Media). Target

Louis market & 209,065 in Dallas market, compared to the original request
of Men 25-54 demo, which demonstrated a lower purchase segment.
• Each market test included 50,000 consumers, so we selected individuals
among 112,020 & 209,065 who lived the closet to each STIHL Dealer
location in St. Louis & Dallas.
• We provided the client with special email tips to increase open rates when
they were designing the creative campaign.

17. Automotive & Mobile
Why is it imperative for automotive companies to have a souped-up presence on mobile?
A whopping 38% of car searches for a vehicle are done from mobile phones.
Mobile is where educated & affluent consumers are shopping.
Mobile devices are particularly useful when designing customer experiences that keep
customers coming back throughout the vehicle life cycle.
A well-developed multichannel approach is a starting point for a customer-dealer
relationship that extends beyond the purchase.
On a mobile device, ongoing interactions become easy and convenient: service alerts,
maintenance scheduling, lease status are prime candidates for mobile-enabled tasks.
Ford found that more than 23% of all auto shoppers use mobile during the car buying
process.
More than 40% of mobile searches occur when the person is standing on the dealer lot.
Also important to note, Ford found that 94% of those who receive a text message will
open the message, even promotional text messages.
Mobile shoppers are rated 300% more likely to buy within 60 days compared to other shoppers.
18. SMS Helps Win Billings, Montana Library Initiative

19. Jiffy Lube - Case Study
Results
A Jiffy Lube mobile advertising initiative that was part of a larger multichannel campaign outperformed its Web counterpart.
Jiffy Lube in Los Angeles launched the geotargeted mobile ad campaign offering coupons for oil changes in March. 28% of respondents
texted in their ZIP code for a list of oil-change stores closest to them. More than 650 coupons were redeemed at Los Angeles stores,
which equates to around 21% percent of original respondents.
The strategy was to reach the 18-24-year-old demographic group by advertising on text messages being sent to existing mobile content
subscribers, the goal was to evaluate the mobile channel and gauge the interest of the audience. Jiffy Lube wanted to find a new way to
reach consumers ages 18-24, a demographic likely to ignore the company’s television, newspaper and Yellow Pages ads.
Jiff code: The 20-percent-off messaging generated more text-in responses overall. However, the coupon for $7 off resulted in more
coupon redemptions. Customers who replied to the ad received a text message with a coupon code for redemption, and an invitation to
find their nearest Jiffy Lube location by replying via text message with their ZIP code.
Jiffy Lube learned a few lessons from this campaign:
To win over the attention of a hard-to-reach market, first figure out how you can best work your way into their existing day-to-day
routines.
Test multiple mobile offers and messages to determine the optimal approach for attracting your audience and driving conversions.
Refresh mobile ads regularly to optimize performance.
Try advertising SMS campaigns via mobile advertising. You may generate a higher response rate because all user activity is performed
using the same channel and device.
The Jiffy Lube campaign results show that the mobile channel is not only an effective method for reaching consumers with a message,
but it also drives real purchase decisions. Mobile advertising is frequently criticized as not being measurable, but campaigns such as this
show that a well-designed mobile experience is uniquely measurable, and can outperform traditional online ad campaigns.
20. Coldwell Banker- Case Study
OBJECTIVE
To streamline the process of buying a home and give individuals selling
their home more options.
Target audience
Potential homebuyers and renters, to use SMS as a way to buy and sell
houses. Sign riders on each house with a specific house code. Calls to
action were also promoted on the Coldwell Banker Web site and in print
publications.
Strategy
Coldwell Banker for over half of their listings in Pittsburgh, each sign rider
had a unique house code that individuals can text in to get specific
information about the house, a link to a mobile Web site, and a way to
text in for an agent to contact them.
Results
In three months, there were 1,816 sign rider texts and 94,186 visits to
Coldwell Banker Properties. The lesson learned individuals want to use
their phone to buy their home and individuals want to use mobile to
browse homes and be more in control of the home buying process, as
expected, but they still text in AGENT to have an agent call them, so using
mobile does not tremendously cut into the role of the real estate agent.
21. Northern Virginia Community College
Case Study
OBJECTIVE

22. Regal Entertainment Group - Case Study
OBJECTIVE
Regal Cinemas’ marketing department wanted to find new and innovative
ways to reach a broader and younger demographic while differentiating
their theaters from competitors. They also wanted to help build their
database through SMS.
Target audience
Families with 2+ teens
Youth 16 - 21
Strategy
It included 3x SMS reminders to view updated movie listings and show
times, as well as interactive movie trivia via SMS. The program also
included strategically placed mobile calls-to-action at the point of sale in
the theater location, which was aimed at measuring mobile user activity
and identifying who the most frequent patrons are. The program was so
effective, additional Regal Cinema theater locations were added, further
increasing engagement and sales.
Results
Over the first year of the campaign, increased database by 18%, on
average, while attaining a very healthy double opt-in rate of over 26%.
People want up-to-date information about movies and show-times quickly
and conveniently. We have found mobile marketing has and will continue
to have a profound impact on the way people access and receive
information as well. These days almost everyone carries a cell phone and
are, therefore, constantly connected. It’s up to us as marketers to provide
what people want, when they want it.
