THE BRIEF
Create a ‘keepable’ asset that provides the shortest possible route to the Toolstation website.
THE STRAT
The Toolstation catalogue was the go-to place for everyone from painters to plumbers. Trouble was, it was expensive to produce, very heavy and with 21 categories to choose from, took ages to find what you were looking for. Our challenge was to wean customers off the catalogue and onto the website without impacting revenue or customer satisfaction.
THE CREATIVE
We created a piece of DM that acted like the catalogue but was much quicker. We used data to create a shortcut to the tools customers used most, then transformed the humble QR code into stickers that once scanned, took customers to their most shopped-in departments. And because they were stickers, customers could literally stick them anywhere so they could effectively turn anything into their very own Toolstation.
THE RESULTS
• Incremental website traffic up by 10%
• Shopping frequency up 9%
• Targets smashed by 300%
• Average order value up 5%
• Customer revenue up by 14%
• Yearly savings just under £1 Million
