With Wishpond, businesses now have one place where they can quickly and easily manage and execute all of their online marketing activities – social promotions and contests, ads and distribution, customer engagement, and customer analytics – across all channels.Wishpond’s complete online marketing suite has already empowered more than 15,000 businesses to effectively capture customers, market their products and grow their sales. On average, businesses using Wishpond’s social apps such as social sweepstakes have seen 120 percent growth in their fan base. Additionally, Wishpond has partnered with a number of agencies such Morale Entertainment to manage online marketing campaigns for their clients.
“We relied on traditional media for promoting our event last year. However, in light of the election and Hurricane Sandy, we felt social media would give us a more effective vehicle for promotion of this year’s Walmart Carrier Classic,” said Ken Kinnear, Executive Producer of the Walmart Carrier Classic. “Wishpond was the only vendor that could help us easily create, run, and manage multiple campaigns across several platforms. In a matter of a few weeks, they helped us create a social media strategy which included working with Walmart, other sponsors, the participating colleges, Dial Global and NBC Sports. We couldn’t ask for a better partner in Wishpond.”
The Carrier Classic was founded by Morale Entertainment Foundation in an effort to celebrate active and veteran U.S. military. The 2nd Annual Carrier Classic will tip off at 4PM Friday, Nov. 9, 2012 aboard the USS Yorktown on NBC Sports Network and will kick off the NCAA Basketball season with Notre Dame Women playing Ohio State.
