This Rafi Albo video segment talks of his super-successful campaign for Keds Kids

Background (Extracted from NZ Marketing Magazine)

Client: Keds Kids (Israel’s equivalent to Pumpkin Patch). Agency: Segmarketing
Objective: Promote upcoming winter fashion to the most profitable 25 percent of customers

How they did it:

  1. Identified the most profitable customers through data analysis.
  2. Created personalised, full-colour jigsaw puzzles for each family. Also created discount vouchers – the discount depended on how profitable the customer was.
  3. Kept the puzzles in-store throughout the two-month period. When a top customer made a purchase during that time, the POS terminal would alert the shop assistant that there was a gift for them.
  4. Customers who didn’t make a purchase during the two months were couriered their puzzles. 100% of the packages reached their intended destination.

Results:

74 percent response rate [people BUYING], from a package that cost less than $2 per customer. According to Segmarketing’s Rafi Albo, the word-of-mouth buzz from this campaign equaled the value of a TV campaign with 10 times the budget.

He said it: “Marketing is returning love to the customer.” – Rafi Albo.
