LINK Campaign in Action

LINK’s client of four years, Berner Italia S.p.A. (Berner), serves as a prime example to illustrate the use of LINK Campaign on an international scale. Operating in over 25 countries within Europe, Italian-based Berner has mainly offered B2B services, selling to shops who serve the end customer. Until recently, Berner applied LINK Campaign internally as a communication means for its employees (i.e. sales competitions) and is now making it available to customer groups.

Currently, Berner is in the process of franchising shops with the aim to market directly to the end customer with several thousand SMS being regularly sent to specific target groups. The result has been widely positive, with more than a 60% click through rate of invitations sent via SMS, taking the user to the landing page.

“By utilizing a LINK Campaign, we are able to generate multimedia landing pages which displays coupons, gives product updates, and recent discounts all the while engaging local sales representatives by supplying them with formative information. Time to market is greatly reduced. Furthermore, by including vouchers and offers through a special QR code via direct message, customers are more motivated to opt-in, enhancing brand loyalty and driving higher engagement, with higher open and click-through rates. This stats provide significant uplifts in campaign success rates in comparison to employing standard newsletters to communicate our offers. Berner also benefits as no additional IT resources are required to facilitate these communications.” - Annalisa Poli, Head of Communications, South East Corporate Communications, at Berner Italy.

As Berner continues to expand, LINK Campaign plays a key role in directing Berner’s end users towards their communications: the right message on the right channel at the right time.
