This mobile messaging case study shows how Connoisseur Media used Marketron Mobile Messaging to grow K98.3’s mobile club through a “Grab Your Bag” sweepstakes.
Entity: Connoisseur Media | Market: Long Island, NY
Objective
- To grow the station’s mobile club, which they use to set appointment listening by announcing contest opportunities on a weekly basis

- K98.3 partnered with a local retail establishment, Lord & Taylor, and included bags by top designers such as Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Lucky Brand, Cole Haan and Louis Vuitton.
- Over a span of four weeks in October, the station enticed listeners to text code words, three times each weekday, to 30218 as an entry method.
- They used live and pre-recorded on-air promos, messages to the station mobile club, social media postings and email database marketing.
