Contests, or sweepstakes, are a great way to drive consumer engagement, increase sales, and collect...
WILY helps some of the world’s most trusted brands develop creative experiences to engage and drive consumers to retail. Recently, we helped adidas promote their brand new Originals store in Vancouver, BC. The campaign leveraged near-field communication (NFC) technology for a tap to win contest. But before we dive into the case study, let’s first explore what NFC is, and how brands can utilize this technology to drive customer activations.
NFC, is the process of using a device such as smartphone, or in this case, a tablet, to read information stored on inexpensive NFC tags. In this example, adidas used “Key Cards” or “gift cards” that informed the NFC reader whether the key card holder was in fact a winner. NFC technologies can also be utilized for identification, ticketing, time and attendance, loyalty and membership programs, secure access (physical or via a device) or transit usage – in addition to payment processing.

Only the first 150 people to arrive at the secret location received a Key Card and only 50 prizes were available to be won.
