MOBILE MARKETING NEWS


Pepsi uncaps SMS to add fizz to NFL sweepstakes

PepsiCo is taking to mobile to promote its National Football League sponsorship by encouraging users to text football-related keywords to a designated number and receive links to microsites offering sweepstakes entries to win Pepsi merchandise.

Pepsi is tapping in-store signage to prompt consumers to text phrases such as “Tailgate,” “Blitz” and “Score” to 811811 to receive the clickable microsite links, as fans gear up for the start of football season. The brand is joining forces with rewards platform Snipp to roll out the fall promotion, proving that users are willing to give up their personal information in exchange for the chance to win relevant prizes.

“The program has been launched nationally across many retailers, with micro-sites created specifically for Kroger and QwikTrip,” said Ritesh Bhavnani, co-founder and president of Snipp, Bethesda, MD. “We always work with brands to ensure that the offer is communicated effectively and as a result the performance can be measured; the data we offer can provide insights across every individual retailer that participates in the promotion.”
