Chicago, Illinois – Signal, a provider of mobile-centric Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions to help marketers rapidly develop, execute and analyze cross-channel campaigns, has announced the success of its seasonal campaign with Smart Chicken. As one of the nation's leading poultry brands, Smart Chicken used mobile and cross-channel technology powered by Signal to promote a holiday recipe near the point-of-sale (POS) at 140 retail locations, resulting in an 73 percent increase in sales during the promotional period (over the same period the previous year).
Smart Chicken created and distributed holiday recipe cards at retail locations that also served as a customer's shopping list. Each card featured a Quick Response (QR) code that customers were able to scan via mobile devices, along with a call to action for customers to text for additional information. Signal's Auto Response campaign and QR code offering enabled Smart Chicken customers to view a mobile-optimized landing page with a link to a YouTube video in which a dietitian provided step-by-step directions on producing the holiday recipe.
"Smart Chicken's success is a testament to the importance of engaging your customers through multiple channels," said Jeff Judge, co-founder and CEO of Signal. "Our technology is designed to meet the needs of today's on-the-go consumer based on their individual preferences. By implementing cross-channel campaigns such as this, brands are able to break through the marketing clutter and engage their customers in real-time."
The Smart Chicken offer, printed materials, point of sale signage and Signal's technology worked in concert to drive both engagement and a significant, measurable increase in sales.
"Signal offered us with the perfect opportunity to provide our customers with an interactive buying experience," said Mark Eckstrom, Director of Marketing and Business Development of Smart Chicken. "Because of our success with the holiday recipe card promotion, we've decided to take the next step and explore printing QR codes directly on a few select product packaging to ensure that Smart Chicken offers our customers this same interactive experience."
