Today, Pigsback.com agreed an exclusive deal with an online digital photo service. The partnership with Snapfish allows Pigsback to strengthen its member’s proposition, whilst driving registrations and encouraging its highly-targeted audience to use the Snapfish service.
Snapfish’s digital photo service allows consumers to print, create and share photos online with friends and family. It also provides members with the facility to upload as many digital photos as they like and offers a personalised gift service. Pigsback members are incentivised to interact with the brand with the exclusive offer of 20 free prints once they have signed up to the service and gaining PiggyPoints for purchases made online.
Cillian Barry, Pigsback’s Commercial Director, says: “Our partnership with Snapfish increases the depth of offering to our members by providing a service that is interactive and fun. Using content such as photo competitions we are able to generate a buzz around the service, which increases brand awareness and drives customer registrations for Snapfish.”
Pigsback came up with the ‘Pimp My Pig’ photo competition to encourage members to use the digital photo service. Members send in photos of their stress pigs dressed in various guises, for example ‘Punk Pig’ will be wearing a leather jacket, creating a real sense of fun, community and trust, which encourages members to return to the site.
Steve Carrod, Marketing Executive for Snapfish, says: “Working with Pigsback allows us to tap into an extremely valuable online community. This community element of the site is very important to us, as it allows Snapfish to not only to generate long-term customer acquisition, but also gain access to a quality online audience to encourage user interaction.“
The Snapfish service will be available in various sections of the Pigsback site from ‘Going out’, to ‘Travel’ and ‘Gifts’. Pigsback members have shown a willingness to interact with brands on a regular basis when the content is targeted and relevant.
