“We are deploying My SUBWAY Mobile to increase customer loyalty through personalized, real-time communications,”
The mobile promotion enables franchisees to deliver targeted and relevant alerts, coupons and promotions to customers, helping to increase store sales and traffic while building strong one-to-one relationships and customer loyalty.
In August 2006, SUBWAY® launched My SUBWAY Mobile in 12 Buffalo locations. Some locations saw an impressive 50 percent coupon redemption rate on the initial run, which is a significant increase over the typical two to three percent response rates from traditional paper based coupons and marketing channels.
The success in Buffalo is encouraging SUBWAY® franchises in other areas to implement the mobile promotion. Recently, more than 300 SUBWAY® stores in the Seattle-Tacoma area began offering My SUBWAY Mobile to their customers.
"SUBWAY is among the first of the national QSR chains to deliver on the vision of integrating the mobile channel into marketing programs for truly relevant and personalized marketing," said Robert Wesley, president and CEO, Modiv Media. “Expanding our program with a premier brand like SUBWAY further validates what mobile promotions and communications can do with our Modiv Mobile™ service.”
My SUBWAY Mobile is available today and free to all consumers. Customers in the Buffalo area can sign up at any one of the participating 107 SUBWAY locations or by texting the code “sub030” from their cell phone to 35562. Every customer who enrolls will receive a free 6-inch sub with the purchase of a 32 ounce drink.
