CAMPAIGN SET UP

Two different visuals could be selected on the order website, while also two different text templates were offered. After ordering, consumers received their Alien Quadrilogy icecards within two weeks at home and could start handing them to their friends and acquaintances, stimulating word of mouth for the new release.




CAMPAIGN RESULTS
The Alien Quadrilogy icecards were hot! All 10,000 sets were ordered and distributed in only 19 days.


80% represented the age group of 14 – 25 years. The average age of the people ordering cards was 24 years, peak lying at 15 years. The campaign generated a significant amount of web traffic, resulting in 21,000 unique visitors. This means that almost 50% of the visitors (since 10,000 sets were ordered) ordered a set of icecards. Interestingly, with limited other promotion the campaign generated enough rumor to get people ordering their cards.
