8 Ways to Use Super Bowl Buzz to Market Your Product or Service

Spread the love
  2

NFL’s Super Bowl is coming soon, and you can take advantage of the big game buzz without spending $3.7 million on a 30-second commercial.

1. Tell a story to tie your business into the super buzz. – Kiva, which helps people loan funds to entrepreneurs around the world, sent an email equating the record-breaking NFL season to its own success.

2. Create a Super Bowl ad on a budget – and then promote it. – Post the ad on YouTube, your website, and your social networks.

3. Hold an anti-Super Bowl event for the 200 million non-watchers. – Restaurants and bars could promise no TVs. Other stores could offer a sale during the game.

4. Get people to come in after the game via a special promotion. – A Maryland jeweler is offering full refunds to customers who make a purchase during the week before the Super Bowl if the hometown Ravens shut out the 49ers. Small odds of that.

5. Crash your customers’ game-watching parties. – Offer branded cups, napkins, or related items for their parties.

6. Take a stand. – A New York bar banned the sale of Boston-based Sam Adams beer when the Giants played the New England Patriots—and earned lots of pre-game publicity.

7. Send out email related to the big game. – Marketo emailed a simple poll asking whether the Salesforce ad was worth the cost. They got a 13.5% open rate.

8. Don’t use the trademark Super Bowl in your promotions. – Use the term Big Game or something like Chipotle did with The Super Big Internationally Televised Professional Bowl Game.

Infographic: 5 Key Social Media Followers

Spread the love
  74

Alas, the infographic has been moved, but here’s the key information:

Early adopters, social sharers, born followers, popular powerhouses, and basement-dwelling haters all have a role to play in building your business. Identifying and engaging individuals within these groups will allow your business to better tap into the social commerce market.

The Early Adopter – They soak up new information, trends, and products and are always the first to adopt something new (or not adopt).

The Social Sharer – These people link to, pin, tweet, hashtag, and share anything that interests them, often among multiple social networks.

The Born Follower – They follow and like simply because other people in their network have followed or liked you.

The Popular Powerhouse – When they share something, they immediately attract multiple comments, retweets, and shares (often into the hundreds of reshares).

The Basement-Dwelling Hater – Their initial impressions of almost anything are downbeat. But if you respond positively to their comments or complaints, they could fall in love with you.

Here are a few of the rules of life featured in the book:

Shake things up sometimes. Do things differently. Break all the rules. Create some new rules. Have fun.

What others think of you is none of your business. Their opinion really doesn’t matter in the larger scheme of things.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

Realize that the best things in life aren’t things.

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain. – Vivian Green

Gratitude is powerful. It can transform your life. It only requires a single step.

When a person really desires something, all the universe
conspires to help that person to realize his dream. – Paulo Coelho

Set a goal that, once achieved, will change your life forever, a goal from which there is no turning back once you start out on the path to its success. – Scott Grossberg

The cost of being wrong is less than the cost of doing nothing. – Seth Godin

Be thankful for what you have: You’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. – Oprah Winfrey

Work for a cause, not for applause.
Life life to express, not to impress.
Don’t strive to make your presence noticed.
Just make your absence felt. – unknown

They say if you dream about something more than once, it’s sure to come true. – Alice in Wonderland

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. – Abraham Lincoln

The measure of your life will not be in what you accumulate, but in what you give away. – Wayne Dyer

How does one become a butterfly? You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar. — Trina Paulus
