Airbase Carpet Mart stores benefit from Showroom Technology's kiosk-based promotions
SHOW/PRO® kiosk marketing events drive higher credit applications
Leesburg, Virginia, - November 17, 2010 -
Showroom Technology announced today that its SHOW/PRO kiosk system has helped the Airbase Carpet Mart family of stores achieve a better return on its foot traffic. The Airbase Carpet Mart chose to implement the SHOW/PRO kiosk system in 2010 across its eleven stores in the Mid-Atlantic region in order to leverage Showroom Technology's 360° marketing program.
In late summer, a series of marketing events were planned over the course of several months, each tied to the SHOW/PRO kiosk system and included Showroom Technology's marketing partner, Mail America. The events hit three key consumer touch points - mail, website, and in-store. Included, were promotion barcoded direct mail pieces, a website link to receive a barcode, and an in-store, on-kiosk promotion, each intended to drive more foot traffic to the store and engage the consumer at the kiosk in exchange for an offer or prize.
Airbase Carpet Mart felt that if it could encourage consumers to visit one of its stores and register at the kiosk system to uncover the prize, it could not only capture more information about its foot traffic but also gain additional credit applicants, thus new loyalty accounts. The plan was a success. With each kiosk-based event it ran, Airbase Carpet Mart saw a big spike in kiosk registrations and credit applications, resulting in a striking correlation between the number of kiosk registrations and subsequent credit applications over a three month period.
"Showroom Technology's kiosk system has provided us an exciting new method of marketing. It has helped us generate additional foot traffic in the store and to electronically capture consumer data while increasing credit application volume", stated Michael Longwill, president of the Airbase Carpet Mart.
