Home Furnishings Sweepstakes

Published April 21, 2025

Objective

The client sought a partnership to build brand awareness, grow their consumer marketing list, and drive sales through a high-impact digital promotion. The initiative aimed to engage customers across multiple countries through a seamless instant-win experience.

The client's primary objectives were to:

  • Expand Consumer Reach: Grow the brand’s global consumer list through high-volume data capture.
  • Drive Retail Sales: Utilize digital incentives to encourage customer interaction and purchase.
  • Ensure International Compliance: Implement specialized requirements, such as a Canadian skill-testing question, to meet regional legal standards.
  • Optimize Data Management: Implement solutions to manage massive entry volumes and reduce data overhead.

The Arrowhead Approach

We implemented a multi-channel technical solution that integrated directly into the brand’s existing website via an iFrame. Our team utilized QR codes to track specific entry sources and managed a complex prize pool of 1,000 instant-win digital gift cards. To ensure a professional experience across borders, we localized code procurement and currency lists for both U.S. and Canadian markets. Throughout the 3-week campaign, we worked in tandem with the client to deploy innovative data management strategies that successfully identified and filtered high volumes of duplicate submissions.
