SmartyPants Leverages Ripple Street to Generate Trial, Product Reviews, and Trips to Walmart
The Challenge The COVID-19 pandemic has led to dramatic changes in our day-to-day lives and has put health front and center. SmartyPants, a leader in the health and wellness industry, is on a mission to simplify health without sacrificing quality. SmartyPants offers multifunctional supplements with premium ingredients to fill in nutrient gaps for everyone in your family, from infants to 50+. The SmartyPants team leveraged Ripple Street, a peer-to-peer marketing platform, to devise a marketing campaign that would drive trial and purchase at Walmart. SmartyPants had explicit objectives to increase awareness via social media reach and impressions, generate trials and reviews, and boost purchase intent at Walmart.
Ripple Street's Strategy The Ripple Street team developed a comprehensive eight-week program to ensure the best possible outcome for their strategic client. Women took photos of themselves at Walmart with the SmartyPants Multivitamin to boost their chances of being selected for the Chatterbox experience. After being selected, hyper-targeted consumers received Chat Packs which included five samples of SmartyPants Multivitamin, $2 coupons, one information flyer, and instructions to guide them through an experiential shopper journey. Chatterbox advocates purchased SmartyPants Multivitamins from Walmart, posted content, and left reviews that accurately reflected their enthusiasm for the product.
Recruit High Quality, Engaged Consumers
Ripple Street engaged and activated 3,753 Walmart shoppers, primarily women ages 25-54 who are interested in health and wellness products, to spread the word about SmartyPants Multivitamins.
Deliver In-Home Product Trials and Engagement
The 1,000 most engaged and socially savvy participants received a conversation-starting Chat Pack, which included SmartyPants Multivitamin trial packs and coupons to use at Walmart and share with friends and family online and offline.
