B&Q-proximity postcode matching creates Christmas campaign

BackgroundB&Q wanted to promote their post-Christmas sale in locatons in proximity to their stores throughout the UK. The company also wanted to run specific messages at specific tmes to make them directly relevant to the tming of the Christmas sale launch and duraton.

Campaign detailsUsing postcode matching, we identfied the BP Connect stores in proximity to B&Q’s stores; these 82 sites formed the digital advertsing campaign. From March 2010, the forecourt network increased to include MRH locatons, at which point signifi-cantly more advertsing locatons in proximity to the retailer’s stores could be provided. B&Q did not have specific digital Out of Home creatve so we created two bespoke creatve executons to a B&Q outline storyboard using rushes from the TV campaign.The first, which ran from 21st to 23rd December, was to announce the start of the sale on Christmas Eve, along with a ‘15% off everything’ offer. The second, which ran from 27th–31st December, was designed as a call to acton while the sale was on, listng the range of products included, and the discounts available.

Wickes one day promotion across forecourt network nationallyWickes, the Home Improvements retailer, ran a one day campaign on the forecourt network nationally to communicate with relevant audiences that “the Wickes new catalogue is out now”. The campaign has been broadcasted across over 1500 screens throughout the UK and turnaround between receiving the copy and nationwide display on forecourt screens only took 40 minutes.The forecourt network provides an effective and ̀exible channel to complement press and radio activities in an easy and cost effective way.

Shortly after this strategic one day activity, Wickes has run another tactical campaign this time to support new branch opening in Thetford. A long term campaign ran in proximity to a particular store to only communicate with local audiences within a certain distance. Wickes, through its campaign, is tar-geting an audience in petrol stations as they travel and are already out and about, on the move in different journeys.

The simple, creative execution communicates that “Wickes Thetford is now open”. It features the full address and opening hours for the local customers to memorise the information and drive them to this particular store.The campaign ran for 12 weeks across selected number of venues within the area.
