Execution
With the help of Volkswagen product specialists, we customised an exclusive trim level of the Jetta for the sale, featuring an available exterior in Gilt’s signature gold colour, making it the season’s hottest accessory.Since only three cars would be available, we offered a waiting list to Jetta enthusiasts. As a reward for signing up, we would send a $500 coupon towards the purchase of an all-new 2011 Jetta. That way, everyone could really feel like they could get something “Great. For the Price of Good.”
Outcome
Volkswagen scored over 94 million impressions and $1,441,919 in earned media, while the three sales of the all-new 2011 Jetta on Gilt Groupe resulted in over 54,000 waiting list signups and over 34,000 downloads of the Gilt Groupe mobile applications. Volkswagen saw:• Over 700,000 Volkswagen Brand Page views on Gilt.com.• Over 290,000 Gilt Groupe mobile application sessions.• 80 media placements for campaign coverage.• Over 1,500 total articles, including social media mentions, blog entries and message board posts.
• Reviews with positive sentiments outweigh reviews with negative sentiments by five times.• 300% increase in social media buzz.
