CAMPAIGN SET UP
Braun ran a campaign of 10,000 sets, each set containing 20 icecards. 7,000 of these 10,000 sets were randomly selected to include a styling guide that highlighted product information.

Consumers could get their icecards by surfing to www.braun.com/cruzer and entering the section Most Wanted. To generate insights about the type of shaver consumers use, and whether they are interested in facial hair styling, a small questionnaire was included in the order process.



CAMPAIGN RESULTS
The icecards were very effective in reaching a broad age group and generated significant awareness around the introduction of the Braun Cruzer3 on an international level. The sold out level was reached in only 15 days. The icecards were most popular in Germany, France, United Kingdom and Netherlands.


80% of the orders represented the broad age group of 15 – 35 years. The average age of the people ordering cards was 27.9 years, peak lying at 26 years. Interestingly, only 67% of the orders were male, which means that many women ordered the icecards for their boyfriend or husband.
