Promoting the Powerball $50 million jackpot

fhn_pb_front.JPGWe are actively promoting the Powerball $50 million jackpot from the front of our newsagency through the shop.  We have resurrected an old (years old) vinyl sign for above the entrance as it presents a visual point of difference to the usual corporate image promotion.  We tested this with during the OzLotto jackpot and it worked well – we noticed customers noticing the sign.  Click on the image for a larger version of the photo.  we still have the corporate image display behind the counter and in our Tattersalls dedicated area.

fhn_pb_mags.JPGDeep inside our newsagency, above our magazines aisles, we have A3 posters promoting the Powerball $50 million jackpot.  Click on the image to see just one of the aisles.  Both look this good – better in real life than the photo.  Our thought here is that we want to get customers as they either head to the counter to make a purchase or leave after browsing. While Tattersalls does not recognise this extra effort, we know from our own tracking that it is good for our business.  If we can add a lottery ticket to a magazine purchase, it makes the magazine purchase that much more valuable.

Inside the shop, these displays and others we have in the store give a feel of an event, something big is happening.  Sales today and yesterday tell us that it is working – and without detracting from sales in other departments.
