DCNE Launches Massive Radio Campaign
During the month of May DCNE launched a massive radio campaign to educate consumers on federal tax credits available to them as a result of the economic stimulus package.
The campaign included several hundred 60 second radio spots on WBZ, Mix 98.5, WFNQ New Hampshire, WQRC, WFCC and WOCN on Cape Cod. In addition, DCNE sponsored the second round of the Bruins playoffs in an effort to drive consumers to CoolNewEngland.com, and generate leads for our dealers.
Both of these marketing efforts were supplemented with a huge Google pay-per-click campaign targeting keywords related to the economic stimulus and federal tax credits.
I am excited to report that the traffic to CoolNewEngland.com spiked and many dealers have reported increased leads as a result. This group marketing effort is all part of our Carrier Connection program. To find out more on how to participate contact your territory manager. |
