Client Situation

Chef Michael John wanted to create an email and social campaign for selling his gift cards as stocking stuffers. He would manage the campaigns in the past but feels he’s not giving enough effort to it.

The Challenge

Raise awareness earlier and often in the season and generate more sales than prior season

MethodFactory created MailChimp, Facebook, Instagram, and Linkedin campaigns that we drip out, causing awareness without oversaturating email and social users. As the it got closer to Christmas we created scarcity campaigns for time is running out and MJs gift cards as easy last minute gift ideas.

The Outcome

200% increase in gift card revenue

At the end of the campaign, Michael Johns generated $23K in gift card sales, with momentum from the campaign carrying sales into the New Year.

They know the restaurant business and how to connect with our customers through email and social campaigns to keep them returning.
