Office Depot and HP Use Sweeppea for Their College SMS Sweepstakes

HP and Office Depot/Office Max wanted to promote their Sprocket Photo Pinter in colleges across the US. With text or SMS being a top form of communication for this audience, it’s only natural that HP and Office Depot leveraged Sweeppea’s platform for their College Campus Tour SMS Sweepstakes.

They gave college students a chance to win Sprocket printers and HP swag via SMS. All participants had to do to enter was text the word SPROCKET to the number 65047 for a chance to win.

  • To gain a database of participants to re-market sponsor’s offers via text message and emails

Promotional Channels:

  • In-venue advertising via booths and signage
  • Local campus advertising

  • Thousands of participants entered
  • Thousands of new emails were collected
