Airborne

The Challenge
How does Airborne effectively promote its Effervescent Health Formula nationally with limited marketing dollars?

The Solution
National DRTV media was an integral strategic part of a massive marketing effort for Airborne, with a 30-second DR spot used in conjunction with localized print and outdoor campaigns. In the spot a coupon offer was employed to satisfy DR requirements and the insert redemption rate was the highest ever seen by Airborne.

The Results
Sales for Airborne more than doubled - directly attributable to the ad campaign. It is currently the number one product in the cough and cold category.

Elmer's Squeeze 'n Brush

The Challenge
Elmer's Squeeze 'n Brush is a paintbrush atop a squeezable tube of washable paint-a fun product not generally associated with a brand known for its glue. When Elmer's needed to re-energize the product's retail sales, they came to Razor & Tie Media for help.

The Solution
Razor & Tie Media developed a DRTV campaign to drive consumers to purchase the product at Wal*Mart stores over the Easter Holiday. The media focus was on national cable channels like Nickelodeon, ABC Family, Cartoon Network, Discovery Kids and Toon Disney outlets that provide dual coverage for both moms and kids.

The Results
The plan delivered national TV coverage at an 75%+ discount from traditional broadcast rates and delivered sales growth far above the client's goal in fact, that goal was reached after just one week of advertising. And for Easter week, per store point of sale for Wal-Mart hit an all-time high an increase of over 50%!

DAD'S Better Than Ears

The Challenge
At first glance, the challenge was bit daunting: How does DAD's revive sales for its nationally-distributed "alternative" dog snack whose direct competition was the canine-coveted real pig ears?

The Solution
R&T Media devised a direct response TV campaign that effectively reached the target and remained on budget. The spot was aired with a toll-free number and website URL on the most effective cable networks targeting women ages 25 to 45.

The Results
As a result, DAD's generated more than 4,000 leads while simultaneously driving a 27% sales increase at 30 to 50% of the cost of general advertising!
