Old Spice Viral Campaign Increases Sales

While the Old Spice ad campaign, “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like,” was amusing to watch, marketers were interested in whether it could lead to increased sales.  According to The Nielson Co. and SymphonyIRI Group, the answer is yes, as reported by BrandWeek:

Over the past three months, sales jumped 55 percent and in the past month, they rose 107 percent, also per Nielsen. Recent sales figures from SymphonyIRI  also show a lift for Old Spice Body Wash products. – Old Spice Campaign Smells Like a Sales Success – Brand Week

Ford Incorporates Social Media Into Explorer Reveal

Ford has been getting a lot of press about revealing the new Explorer on Facebook.  The initial reveal happened exclusively on Facebook at 7:40am EST, with followup events throughout the day. Reveal events are still happening as part of regular tv & press events in major cities.  I can’t help wonder if the coverage online is helping or hurting their more traditional events.  Pictures of the Explorer, along with video and press coverage are already all over the web.  How do people feel who are attending events where the Explorer is still hidden by a sheet?  Does it lower their excitement? Or does it make people want to see it in person even more?

The use of social media has certainly created quite a buzz and people definitely are talking about the new Explorer, which is what any company wants, right? Like the recent Old Spice campaign, only time will tell if these tactics will help them sell more cars.

What do you think?  Do you like the new Explorer?  What do you think about Ford’s use of social media during the reveal?
