Retailer Commissions Local Artist to Customize Every Pair of TOMS Shoes Sold During One-Day Style Your Sole Event; Uses Trumpia's Text Message Marketing and Email Marketing to Invite VIP Customers

Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) August 09, 2011

During a recent promotion at its Corona Del Mar store, Jack's Surfboards commissioned a local artist to customize every pair of TOMS shoes that was purchased. Using the Trumpia Platform, which incorporates MMS and SMS messaging , IM, email, social media and voice broadcast, the retailer sent out 4,023 text messages and 8,114 emails to its opt-in database on the day before the July 18th event. Within 24 hours, Jack's Surfboards produced about $6000.00 by selling 140 pairs of TOMS shoes at the five-hour, one-day event.

Jack's Surfboards realized significant return on investment by sending out a total of five campaigns for multiple stores in July, including the VIP invitation to the TOMS Style Your Sole event. For just $215.00, Jack's Surfboards sent out a combined total of nearly 50,000 emails and more than 13,000 SMS text messages.

VIP customers who purchased TOMS shoes at the July 18th Style Your Sole promotion also helped Jack's Surfboards contribute to TOMS' One for One™ movement, whereby TOMS will give a pair of its shoes to a child in need with every pair that is purchased.

Trumpia Helps Jack's Surfboards Build Its Opt-In Mobile Database Automatically

Using the Trumpia platform, Jack's Surfboards has been able to significantly grow its list of opt-in customers automatically. The retailer advertises all of its upcoming VIP discount and promotional events on in-store posters, encouraging new customers to opt-in to receive information by texting its mobile keyword , JACKS, to its premium mobile shortcode, 69302.

Before using Trumpia, Jack's Surfboards could only capture customer data by requesting email addresses at the Point of Sale . Jacks Surfboards also previously sent out separate Evites for each of its events, making it difficult to manage the retailer's opt-in list and track response rates.

"By using Trumpia's All-In-One multi-channel marketing platform to send out coordinated email and SMS marketing campaigns, we can reach more customers in less time," said Nicole Stratton, marketing coordinator for Jack's Surfboards. "Our mobile keyword and shortcode allow us to continuously capture data from our target customers. Trumpia allows us to provide the right offers to the right people at the right times so that we can quickly and easily increase traffic and sales."

"Since we began sending out multi-channel campaigns with Trumpia, our message open and customer response rates have greatly improved in comparison to the results that singularly focused, email-only campaigns produced for us in the past," added Stratton.

"We are thrilled to help Jack's Surfboards directly engage with both new and existing customers to drive demand for its products," said Ken Rhie, CEO and co-founder of Trumpia. "Trumpia's mission is to help small businesses and marketing professionals everywhere connect with a broader spectrum of people, build better customer relationships and increase revenues. By delivering high-impact, low-cost multi-channel marketing programs, using the media that consumers interact with most -- email, Facebook and their mobile phones -- forward looking retailers like Jack's Surfboards can position themselves for success in any economic climate."
