JCPenney, Mary-Kate and Ashley Embrace Social Media

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen recently partnered with our client JCPenney to launch Olsenboye, their new line of junior apparel debuting on November 6. To build buzz among young, fashionable shoppers, they’re using innovative social media tactics like Facebook, Twitter, and viral videos.

In addition, earlier this week, the Olsenboye Treat Truck parked itself in Greeley Square and Washington Square Park here in New York to sell items from the not-yet-released collection (and give out free cupcakes!) to benefit the JCPenney Afterschool Fund.  Customers had their photos taken and uploaded to the JCP Teen Facebook page.

Cool!

One of M Booth’s clients, Unilever, will begin a monthlong test run of mobile coupons for some of its products next week.

To get the coupons, customers must visit the Web site Samplesaint.com, from which they can transmit the Unilever discount offers to an Internet-enabled cellphone. At checkout, the cashier scans the bar code on the phone’s screen, redeeming the coupon and deleting it from the phone.

We have been talking about mobile coupons for a while in our digisquad meetings, and it is exciting that a big brand is finally trying it out!

Our client Kijiji is currently hosting a Pet Fitness Sweepstakes to help pets get in shape for the summer (did you know that 44 percent of dogs and 57 percent of cats are estimated to be overweight or obese?). If you live in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, Atlanta, or Houston, enter a photo of your pet for the chance to win a $1,000 pet supply gift card! Your pet will also be featured on Kijiji’s pet slideshow (above) for the chance to become Internet famous. So what are you waiting for? Visit Kijiji and send in a pic of your animal companion!
