LeapFrog Interactive (LFI), a digital advertising agency, successfully planned and executed a digital promotion sweepstakes for Sun Tan City. The ten-week “It’s Glowtime” campaign ran from Feb. to April. Mobile banner advertisements and Facebook advertisements drove users to the customized Facebook tab on the Sun Tan City Facebook page, resulting in over 3,000 entries.

Sun Tan City is an indoor tanning company with over 125 salons in eight states.

The goal of the “It’s Glowtime” campaign was to drive sales and to create awareness for the brand. LFI runs the digital marketing campaigns including social media marketing, SEO/SEM, display advertising and email marketing programs for Sun Tan City, and this campaign was a way to extend the brand’s reach to new audience members.

“Our success with Sun Tan City’s ‘It’s Glowtime’ campaign was one part logic, one part magic. You have to make sure the right audience is seeing your message.” said Emily Carroll, Strategic Planning + Consumer Insights at LeapFrog Interactive.

The campaign consisted of an integrated approach across several mediums. Mobile banner ads on the ATT network and Facebook advertising drove over 24 million impressions. The Sun Tan City Facebook page had an increase of 42 percent in the number of fans by the end of the campaign.

“The Sun Tan City social media fans are very engaged, and Sun Tan City’s social properties have blossomed into a go-to place for tanning information. We took feedback that they wanted prizes and giveaways, and bumped it up a notch. That’s why we decided to give one lucky person a year of free tanning through the campaign,” said Emily Van Winkle, Communications + PR at LeapFrog Interactive.

“The fans were ecstatic about it, and we had 500 entries just in the first night of the live campaign. The entries continued to roll in, driving over 3,000 entries during the length of the campaign.” said Van Winkle.

LFI teams worked together to create the branded customized Facebook Application where the users entered the campaign, as well as the digital advertisements, which drove users to the Facebook page.

“The success of the campaign was not a fluke; it was the plan. Research and past performance told us that our audience would respond positively to the concept. We built a campaign around the consumer. It’s why we saw digital ad click-through rates over 1.2% and mobile ad click-through rates at .66%. Both were some of the best we had ever seen for digital campaigns,” said Carroll.

Facebook touts small business marketing capabilities

Facebook has launched a dedicated site to educate small businesses on the social network’s marketing tools. The Facebook for Business portal features links to step-by-step how-to guides to help small companies use the site’s advertising offerings, such as Pages, Ads and Sponsored Stories.

The site is part of a larger Facebook initiative to cultivate small businesses’ use of the social network for marketing. Facebook partnered with American Express OPEN, the credit card company’s small business division, in April to create the “Big Break for Small Business” contest. Each small business entrant received a $50 Facebook credit, and three companies won $20,000 and a trip to Facebook’s Palo Alto, Calif. headquarters.

Adele Cooper, director of global customer marketing and communications at Facebook, told Direct Marketing News at the time that the contest was an opportunity for Facebook to learn how small businesses think about using their pages to market to consumers.

“The core focus for us from the very beginning was to get small businesses excited and interested in Facebook as marketing channel,” she said.

The company also rolled out Facebook Studio, a hub for agencies to promote their Facebook campaigns and interact, in April. The site also features educational aids for advertising on Facebook, such as advice for building a Facebook Page and how to use Facebook Deals.
