Echo Media has a strong partnership with the innovative State of Text mobile company that has made a significant impact in the sales and mobile world. In 2009, State of Text began a campaign with Hooters restaurants that included a call to action within their advertisements. It was to text in a keyword in order to receive a free entrée. With the launch of the four week SMS campaign within TV spots and video-on-demand, the impact on customers proved to be very impressive. Hooters saw a sales increase of 32% and an addition of 600 new consumers to the Hooters mobile database. The SMS promotion offered customers an attention grabbing offer of free wings with the submission of a simple keyword to one particular short code.
In 2013, State of Text and Hooters rolled out a similar campaign designed to appeal to football fans. The offer was to win a trip to the Super Bowl which was used to locate the sports fan segment of consumers. The benefit of this particular segmented marketing strategy is that it opened up the potential for target marketing that would appeal specifically to those very people. Over 50,000 people entered the sweepstakes, which significantly augmented the Hooters consumer database. Knowing that these 50,000 people were interested in sports themed offers, they were then able to market to them again with future in-store promotions with a similar theme.
Utilizing the SMS promotion strategy has proven to be effective for many companies including Target, American Eagle Outfitters, Arby’s, and Hooters, to name a few. It provides an immediate, easy way to interact with consumers and track their interests. SMS also has an amazingly high open rate because the customer has opted-in to receive these promotional offers straight to their mobile. If you would like to learn more about an SMS mobile campaign, contact our mobile guru, Steve Setlock, at 770.955.3535 x 110.

Pregnancy is a very special time for a woman. She feels differently, acts differently and looks at the world around her with a completely new perspective. Women in this stage of life are very eager to learn about products and services that may assist them through this exciting time. A great way to reach these women is via the American Baby sample packs. These vehicles offer advertisers a chance to reach a woman when she is most susceptible to developing brand loyalties and strong opinions about what is good for her, and for her baby. The Expectant Mother pack is given to women in their third trimester by their obstetricians. The New Mother pack is distributed to mothers while they are still in the hospital with their newborn. There is also a Hispanic version of the New Mother pack called Para Nuevas Mamas. Being distributed to new mothers in a medical environment adds value because women trust their doctors and health professionals to help them make the best decisions for their unborn child. In addition to pre-printed inserts and product samples, all of these packs include a magazine, which contains information on topics ranging from pregnancy, and what to expect from childbirth, to the first year of a baby’s life.

It is well known that Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing “minority” group in the United States. They have arrived and are here to stay and prosper, but where in the U.S. can you find the most Hispanics? According to the Pew Hispanic Center, in the year 2000, 50% of Hispanics lived in the states of California and Texas. Other well-known states with prominent Latino communities have been Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Mexico and New York, but recent market research shows that the Hispanic population is also growing fast in other states of the Country. Some examples are Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North and South Carolina and Tennessee. Additionally, the Hispanic population more than doubled in Maryland and South Dakota.
The 2010, Census counted 50.5 million Hispanics in the United States, making up 16.3% of the total population. Hispanics are making history and changing the face of America. Are you efficiently targeting the growing Hispanic market? The report, “Hispanics Account for More Than Half of Nation’s Growth in the Past Decade,” authored by Jeffery Passel, Senior Demographer, Pew Hispanic Center, D’Vera Cohn, Senior Writer, Pew Research Center, and Mark Hugo Lopez, Associate Director, Pew Hispanic Center, is available at the Pew Hispanic Center’s website, www.pewhispanic.org.
If you are interested in reaching the growing Hispanic population across the U.S., try doing it effectively in the pages of Vanidades, TV Y Novelas or Cosmopolitan en Espanol magazines.
