How SMS is building business
See our updated case studies pagere hereThe following case studies are real.
They are excellent for generating SMS marketing ideas for your business. We can help your business in a similar fashion.Case Study 1. Dunkin Donuts
A two month mobile interactive ad campaign in Italy has resulted in a 9% increase in sales for Dunkin Donuts, according to the two companies that created it.
As a result of an SMS-based marketing campaign, customers were able to get coupons for Dunkin Donuts goods by using their mobile handsets to respond to advertisements displayed on store notice boards, billboards and on the radio.
By sending a short message to the published numbers, users receive an immediate reply featuring a free gift coupon or special offer exchangeable at local outlets.

By ensuring that the power of the SMS medium is put to good use in an ethical way and one which doesn't encroach upon users' privacy is something which was key to the success of campaigns such as this one with Dunkin Donuts.
And Dunkin Donuts' Italian franchisee GianLuigi Contin says that the SMS marketing solution has been a positive brand-building experience: "We are directly reaching our targets with a message they can understand. Cellular coupons are not cute promotions, rather they are serious marketing tools that not only extend the brand but are also directed towards the people we want to reach."
Case Study 2. Radio 98FM radio live poll
An Irish radio station wanted to interact with its audience with an opinion poll. At every new bulletin 98FM broadcast a GSM number to which listeners could send, via text message, their opinion about a nominated news topic.
Participants merely sent a "yes/no" response and then received a response inviting people to send further comments.
Radio station staff then had access to live statistics via a special web page.

Case Study 3. MacDonalds boosts sales using SMS
When McDonald’s Australia ran its first SMS voucher campaign in
Bundaberg, Queensland, in September, it saw very healthy SMS voucher
redemption rates.
This redemption rate was aided by the design of the voucher campaign,
which was integrated with a competition run through a local radio
station. Listeners entered the radio competition by SMSing in their name.
In reply, they received a confirmation of their entry with an SMS
voucher attached. They could take this voucher to either of the two
Bundaberg McDonald’s restaurants and receive one of three offers.
Additionally, the customer was asked to reply to the SMS voucher with a
“Y” to receive more McDonald’s offers, which most recipients
did.
McDonald’s was able to send out further vouchers just before lunch time.
Because every phone number is unique. McDonald’s collected names in
their campaign, next time they may choose to ask for age, allowing better
targeting and response rates.
Because of the infiltration of mobile phones in society, it is a perfect promotional
entry tool and voucher/coupon delivery and redemption mechanism.
Case Study 4. In-house competition
A broking company asked PlusOne to run an in-house competition for its brokers. Each week every broker was sent a personalised SMS detailing where they were on a leader board for financial product sales. This appealed to the competitive spirit of the brokers who were in the running for weekly and a grand prize.

Case Study 5. TV launches SMS-based marketing campaign
Trouble TV, a UK teen channel is using an SMS-based relationship marketing
campaign. The campaign encourages viewers of Trouble TV and visitors to
its web site (www.trouble.co.uk) to send in by text message, a promotional
code that appears on screen every hour between 12pm and 5pm for a two-week
period. Participants are entered into a daily draw, with prizes including
mobile phones. (This relationship marketing approach also works well with
radio).
Case Study 6. SMS marketing helps McDonalds
Marketing products to mobile phones using SMS messages has been proven to
increase sales, according to a test study carried out in Sweden.
Named e-street, the project signed up 2,500 mobile phone-users in the town
of Lulea to receive SMS messages of special offers from 150 local
organisations.
After the volunteers were sent an SMS for a McDonalds burger offer, 25 per
cent of the targeted users took up the offer.
The McDonalds in question broke its turnover records during the test
period and it jumped to the top of the McDonalds league table in Sweden.

Case Study 7. Hilton uses SMS with success
The Hilton Hotel group has successfully used SMS messaging to increase
guest numbers to its hotels and build customer loyalty.
The hotel sent out important marketing messages such as specials and
promotions directly to its members’ mobile handsets.
SMS allowed the hotel to get the messages out instantly and at the most
appropriate time of day.
The use of SMS as a direct marketing tool resulted in a 10-25% uptake
of offers sent out by the hotel and proved to be an integral part its
direct marketing and loyalty strategy.

Case Study 8. Just what the doctor ordered
A Queensland-based chiropractor, long plagued with no-shows of
appointments made perhaps weeks earlier or last minute cancellations, now sends
reminders to patients of their appointments that day and asking they
notify the clinic if they cannot make the appointment. This has increased
the successful appointment rate and also allows opportunities to fill
cancelled appointments.

Case Study 9. Cheap fuel a great prompt
Petrol price monitoring
group FuelWatch advertised an SMS competition to win $250 of free
fuel on the back of delivery trucks. In 3 weeks 500 entries were
received from just 10 trucks operating in Brisbane. In addition to the creation
of a database, which can be used for further marketing, by asking
respondents to enter a letter corresponding to the trucks regular route,
the best routes could then be determined for future campaigns. Heightened
awareness of the FuelWatch brand was also created as well as its
website URL.
Case Study 10. Girlfriend's best friends
Girlfriend magazine
advertised on the web and in their magazine for girls to register with the
Girlfriend VIP Club. Once a member, they could send free SMS's from the
website. Every month, a special offer is SMS'd to VIP members,
namely fashion label discounts or one for one offers on cosmetics. The
offer is to take the phone message to the retailer to claim the discount.
40,000 girls have provided their mobile numbers, giving an advertising
penetration of 40,000 willing respondents. This permission to
receive aspects provides good retention of the offer.
Case
Study 11. Eagle Boys
A test case competition was run by an Eagle Boys store to generate a
marketing list. Using a coded entry competition, entrants had to
buy a pizza to get an entry. Instant prize winners had to show the winning
coupon and the message to collect their instant prize - of Eagle Boys
products. A major prize of a holiday was given to one winner.
The marketing list has been used to good effect to promote special
offers.
Case
Study 12. Win a mobile phone competition
Plusone was asked by a Telstra Shop to provide an SMS competition where
entry was promoted through a series of television advertisements.
The result was a greater awareness of Telstra Shop and its services, the
generation of a marketing list. The entry records also were used to
analyse the number of responses at different times and TV station program
scheduling. This allows more targeted advertising schedules for future
competitions based on entry rates for time frames and show
popularity.
Case
Study 13. On-package promos
Starburst's "More Juice More Burst" campaign looks to engage teens by using their cell phones to text a unique promotional short code found under specially marked packs of Starburst Fruit Chews.
Using the code J-U-I-C-Y (58429) across any cell phone carrier, and online at starburst.com, users can find out instantly via a return message if they’ve won juiced-up technology prizes like a 42-inch flat-screen TV, i-Pod Photo and more. The campaign runs through Sept. 30, 2005.
With more than 60 million on-pack impressions, the Starburst Brand More Juice for More Burst contest is the largest short-code, cross-carrier campaign for a consumer product goods company in U.S. history. Using packaging to drive the promotion, the company reports that online daily visits have nearly doubled since its April debut.

Sydney’s leading hip hop and R&B station, The Edge 96.ONE, features many new artists and wanted to develop a user-friendly interactive SMS service that allowed listeners to find out the name of the song on air – and artist – using their mobile phones, thus reducing the level of phone calles received at the station. There was extensive back-end integration at the station so the database was constantly updated. Before each music slot, DJ announces: "To find out what is playing, just SMS SONG to 1975 7777 and we'll SMS ya back the name of the song and artist!" The requester gets the name of the song texted back to them. Requests cost 55c. Source MMA Awards 2006
