Today, using a case study as an example, we would like to show you how a SeedingUp campaign is executed, as well as the results and advantages that can be gained from implementing such a campaign.

The starting position and the goals of your campaign

You are the managing director of an online travel platform that wishes to more intensively market the “Prague City Breaks” product in the spring of 2018 in order to stir its customers’ interest in attractive travel offers for the months of September and October. In addition to image cultivation, your goals are to increase the awareness of your travel products by addressing your target group more often and more effectively. For this purpose, the reach and the search engine relevance of your offerings are to be improved. The aim of these measures is to boost sales of the “Prague City Breaks” product and thus generate higher earnings in the long term.

*The budget and duration of the case study are, of course, purely examples. Both the budget and the duration of the campaign can be individually adapted to suit respective budgets and markets

Effects of the campaign – this is what you can achieve with a SeedingUp campaign

The combination of relevant blog posts by suitable publishers with product tests and influencer videos and the accompanying distribution across social media already yielded the first positive results during the course of the campaign. Not only was there an increase in the number of likes and instances of the articles being shared on Facebook profiles relevant to the topic, but the number of hits on the offers for “City breaks in Prague” in September and October 2018 also rose noticeably.

The articles created on blogs and travel portals, as well as the video posts and posts created on social networks, have also prompted other bloggers and numerous users to comment on the published content or post reviews of the travel products. Further positive results of the campaign could be seen in the form of measurable SEO effects through downstream effects, and, above all, additional content from the publishers in search engines. If you were interested in a city break to Prague and decided to do research into the subject, a Google search would provide you with the blog articles and videos of the influencers who report on these offerings. The created content can be found sustainably in the results.
