Build Database and Offer Purchase Incentive
June 20th 2007
Office Depot, which sponsors Nextel Cup driver Carl Edwards and his No. 99 Office Depot Ford Fusion, has created an “enter to win” contest where fans have an opportunity to visit Office Depot and enter for a chance to win an autographed Carl Edwards helmet.
Enter to win contests have traditionally been a solid strategy for building a database, but in an effort to ensure store foot traffic and revenues increase, Office Depot is providing fans with $10 off each $25 or more purchase when they visit Office Depot.
Sports teams could offer similar purchase incentives with their enter to win contests, and not only increase database numbers, but also ticket and merchandise revenues.
