The company’s primary needs was to promote the Chaudière-Appalaches region and its member companies. The objective was to focus and visibility and notoriety, 

Also, Tourisme Chaudière-Appalachesthey wanted to bring people back at least twice to the website, and reach at least 20,000 people.

Our mandate

With an objective aimed at gaining visibility, the creation of a contest is totally appropriate. That is why Tourisme Chaudière-Appalaches decided to buil a very unique contest.

This campaign was also built in collaboration with a marketing agency used by Tourisme Chaudière-Appalaches for anything related to design. 

Our main part of the project was to oversee the set up of the contest from the Dialog Insight platform, while respecting several technical and logistical requirements.

DETAILS

The contest was  build around the fact that visitors could build their dream weekend, and then have a chance to win it. It lasted for 25 weeks, and 1 winner was picked each week. 

Participants had to go to the Chaudière-Appalaches website and create a customized weekend by choosing from the 550 companies they could visit during their stay.

The campaign was done in an omnichannel manner, i. e. television advertising, Google Ads, Facebook and email. promotion People could win additional opportunities by sharing either by email or on Facebook.

I have been working with Dialog Insight for more than 2 years and I like all the tools that are offered by the company. There is already a good range of tools that meet the needs of all businesses in my opinion. For me, the big advantage of DI is that we can also have services that meet the specific needs we may have in our company. This is not the case for all companies that offer this type of service.

For the 25 Week-Ends en Chaudière-Appalaches contest, we worked with the existing Dialog Insight contest application. The fact that DI already has a solid and proven application has allowed us to save a lot of time and money on content and we have avoided developing a different in-house solution with the web firm that makes up our website. The competition module was already well-proven and was also able to adapt to the very specific structure of our contest. The fact of managing the contest customers directly from the newsletter customers makes our life much easier since the two are often very closely linked.
