Scavenger Hunt by TEXT (Ventura County Fair, Text Messaging, Mobile Coupon, Social Media, MySpace)

The Ventura County Fair Text Messaging Campaign is interacting with it's subscribers in more ways than one! Taking advantage of texting, MySpace, a scavenger hunt and interest from sponsors (creating more great prizes), the Ventura County Fair is creating a database that will be valuable for use in distributing information year round! It's not just about e-newsletters anymore, people have different ways they like to receive information and as long as you are not spamming their phone, they welcome the valuable notices and special offers.

If there is no other way to get signage on your facility due to expense, schedules and changeout, the restrooms are ALWAYS an option! The men have to stare at a wall and the women have to stare at a door, so what better place...they can't move for the time being!!


Here's one great sample of combining MySpace, Texting, Raven and Fun for your subscribers!

Subject: Mother and Daughter can win front row seats at Raven Symone
Hey girls, are you going to see Raven with your mom on Wednesday? If you are, you can win a seat upgrade at the concert! Text RAVEN to 35350 anytime between now and the concert and you and your mom could win front row seats! (you have to bring your mom, not your friend) We'll text the lucky winner 15 minutes before the show!

This is a close-up of a restroom sign - simple and catchy:) Short enough to read in that precious amount of time!!
