As a result of the campaign, Optica store at Bahrain Mall reached 120% of its sales target for the promotional period.
The total revenue generated at Bahrain Mall was 6.5 times than the value that was spent on the campaign.
Further the positive conversation and engagement on Facebook and Twitter the campaign generated definitely added to the brand equity.
Creative Execution
The media idea and the creative idea were completely entwined. To create the tiniest promotional channel in the Kingdom, a small 15mm black circular sticker was placed in numerous ambient locations in and around Bahrain Mall and also online. This sticker if seen, invited customers to take a picture of it and show it to staff in Optica for the chance to win a gift.
The sticker was placed in places where customers would have a good chance of seeing it - washroom mirrors, escalator handrails, elevator floor selection panels, car door handles and wing mirrors. In all these places, despite its size, the dot had a good chance of being spotted.
Its existence and the prize offer was communicated on social media.
We also 'hid' dots on Optica's website and invited people to post images of them on Optica's Facebook page to provide further engagement and opportunities to win.
