SUMMARY

As Xmas was fast approaching, Tourism Queensland commissioned XCOM to develop a concept and campaign to drive database acquisition and to remind the target audience about Queensland as a fantastic holiday destination to ‘refresh’.

OBJECTIVE

The primary objective of the campaign was to grow the client’s email database for ongoing communication.

SOLUTION

Taking into consideration the upcoming Xmas season and the usual financial stress that comes with it, XCOM created a 12 Days of Queensland Christmas Wishes competition.

The concept behind it was to give the entrants a ‘double break’ – a Queensland holiday AND a cash voucher as a break from the mundane everyday bills.

The entry mechanic was incredibly simple; all the entrants needed to provide their name and email address and also the country of origin – alternatively, Facebook Connect functionality was integrated for further ease of entry.

Entrants had the chance to win 1 of 12 daily ‘Double-Breaks’ worth $1,500 each and also be in the running to win the Grand ‘Double-Break’ prize valued at $7,000.

The campaign which was integrated into the Tourism Queensland website was also equipped with a daily countdown which showed the real-time countdown of the time remaining to enter the day’s daily ‘Double-Break’.

  • 39,422 Email shares
  • 36,320 Facebook Shares
