How Did Rodney Wayne Build Up Their Email Database Quickly & Ethically Using Social Media?
Introduction
New Zealand business Rodney Wayne Franchisee – Swan Management Limited (Rodney Wayne) engaged Mobilize Mail’ CampaignHub’s* social media marketing solution to build up their email database quickly and ethically. CampaignHub’s Event Campaign solution for Rodney Wayne ran for just two-weeks and the results exceeded expectations.
“Running a Prize Draw Event using CampaignHub exceeded my expectations. In just two weeks I grew my email list by over 500 people, and secured business for my salons. The CampaignHub team took care of everything and were great at coaching me through the learning curve associated with more new technology. I didn’t know my business could really get such a good result from social media marketing. Time to start thinking about our next campaign and how we can get even more leverage!
