Dear Friend,
Welcome to Digital Media Marketer, a publication focusing on technology strategies for media and marketing professionals.

October 2003
>>> Lessons from Summer 2003
 
This month we showcase a fully integrated digital campaign for Shanghai's water playground, the Dino Beach Water Park. Read the full case study here.

What Is m-Loyalty?

m-Loyalty basically involves building a long-term relationship with customers over their mobile phones. Using codes embedded in short messages (SMS) coupled with value-added offers, we can keep customers coming back for more - and track their behavior as they buy!

How Was It Done?
This year, Dino Beach kicked off the season with a permission-based email inviting customers to opt-in to a mobile/online loyalty community. Target customers also picked up scratch-cards at supermarkets throughout the city. Each scratch card and email contained a unique code which customers submitted by web and SMS to collect points. Dino Beach distributed SMS alerts about special offers on rainy days and weeknights, driving people to the park during off-peak hours. Once at Dino Beach, participants traded points for discounts and other rewards. The Dino Beach marketing team stayed on top of the campaign via a web-based administration system.

The Results
Results were beyond expectations, with 700,000 page views per day to www.64783333.com and over 40,000 customer registrations online and by SMS.

More Fun Next Summer !!
The marketing team at Dino Beach has created an opt-in loyalty database of 35,000 customers for future promotions. So when next summer comes around, Dino Beach will be able to reach those 18-25 year-olds, wherever they are.
