Red Door Interactive’s John Faris to speak at MAGIC S.L.A.T.E Monday

Red Door — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:00:59 +0000

- Company’s Cross Channel Marketing Director to discuss how to drive offline sales with location-based social, search tactics -

SAN DIEGO – February 7, 2012 – John Faris, Director of Cross Channel Marketing at Red Door Interactive, a strategic partner dedicated to ensuring businesses engage their customers wherever they are, will speak Monday at Las Vegas’ MAGIC S.L.A.T.E.

The presentation entitled “Driving offline sales with location-based social and search tactics” will help marketers mobilize and localize existing social and search strategies to drive offline activity.

Faris will discuss how consumer purchasing decisions are becoming more influenced by brand and product research conducted online, and how specialty retailers can adapt. According to Google, 89 percent of consumers who buy in key retail categories in-store have conducted online research prior to purchase. To capitalize on consumers’ new inclination to research online before purchasing offline, marketers need to go beyond awareness and direct response campaigns, and start influencing the purchase decision-making process. This means ramping up mobile content and campaigns, social check-in campaigns, and local search engine marketing efforts.

Red Door Interactive, a strategic partner dedicated to ensuring businesses engage their customers wherever they are, won a Silver MarketingSherpa Email Marketing Award for “Best Email Growth List Campaign” for Garden Fresh Restaurant Corporation, parent company to Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes restaurants.

The agency was recognized for working with Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes on creating this acquisition campaign that incentivized existing loyal customers to refer their friends through email, social media and in-store outreach, resulting in nearly 78,000 new subscribers.

“The overall goal was to acquire new email contacts for Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes. While our focus was on the refer-a-friend contest, we also incorporated digital and in-store tactics to help accomplish this,” said Pilar Bower, Senior Email Marketing Strategist at Red Door Interactive. “Some of our digital strategies included optimizing the website, adding a signup field on the mobile site and promoting the initiative through social media channels. We’re honored to receive this award!”

The campaign showed a true coordination between digital and operational efforts and Red Door was able to double the restaurants average monthly subscribers. The campaign resulted in new sign-ups from the following sources:

Nearly 45,000 from the website
More than 12,600 from refer-a-friend emails
More than 13,550 from in-store promotions

The fact management had enough confidence in the brand’s value to believe clients would refer friends, and the fact management wanted to reward those clients speaks volumes on how Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes values its customers,” said Lead Judge, W.
