During the Sales period, PLDM by Palladium (a subsidiary of the famous shoe brand Palladium), was seeking a way to boost their e-commerce via Twitter. They managed to do so, by designing a campaign based on the most typical contest type on Twitter !
Chosen campaign : Retweet and Follow
The most typical contest on Twitter : the organizer asks for the participants to retweet a specific tweet and to be/become follower to enter the contest.
How did it work:
Once it's been set on Like a Bird Apps, the contest tweet had been published:
Follow & RT pour tenter de remporter les PLDM de votre choix. Bonne chance ! pic.twitter.com/H00hFpLHmz
— PLDM by PALLADIUM (@PLDMbyPalladium) June 29, 2015
Each one of the participants had to retweet this message, or one of the "reminder" tweets directly sent from the platform:
Pour gagner la paire de PLDM de votre choix, Follow & RT ce tweet. Bonne chance à tous ✌️ pic.twitter.com/GQdFFN5Pck
— PLDM by PALLADIUM (@PLDMbyPalladium) July 2, 2015
At the end of the operation, a winner was drawn among the participants.
The interesting tip used in this campaign
On top of picking a winner, 100 participants have been drawn and received a DM containing a 10% promo code they could use on PLDM's e-shop as a consolation prize.
These participants, once drawn, received a dedicated DM, customized and sent from Like a Bird Apps.
