WRAPIFY BOOSTS TRULIEVE DISPENSARY TRAFFIC ON GAME DAY

by Amy Boisvert
written by Amy Boisvert

Despite the thriving cannabis industry, advertising and promoting cannabis products remain challenging for sellers.Traditional mediums are out for cannabis companies. No television or radio advertising. Although some restrictions are gradually easing (such as Twitter’s recent announcement of allowing paid cannabis ads on the platform in states where it is legal) and digital advertising networks exclusively catering to cannabis are available, their reach is still largely restricted by publishers who accept their ads.


This is where Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising has stepped up in a big way to fill the gap left by other advertising mediums.

GOALS:
In an effort to enhance brand awareness and stimulate more foot traffic to multiple Trulieve dispensaries in the Phoenix area, ZMA Cannabis Marketing and Wilkins Media teams partnered with Wrapify to create a campaign that could leverage the heightened exposure during the events surrounding the 2023 Super Bowl.

  • Drive measurable foot traffic into 4 Phoenix area dispensaries

  • Utilize Wrapify SWARMs to hyper-target key events surrounding the 2023 Super Bowl.

  • Promote both Trulieve dispensaries and their popular cannabis brand Verano, which is a top vertically integrated, multi-state cannabis operator in the U.S. committed to enhancing community wellness by offering regulated cannabis products through responsible access.

METHODOLOGY:
15 vehicles, driven by rideshare and delivery drivers, were wrapped and deployed by Wrapify over a 4 week period surrounding the 2023 Super Bowl in a campaign zone covering the Phoenix area. 

Wrapify partners with Reveal Mobile to collect data on the audience and impressions generated by the vehicles while they are on the road, using the “DMOOH Exposure Methodology Standardization Guidelines and Best Practices” developed jointly by OAAA, Wrapify, and Reveal Mobile. The resulting audience data was compared with a control group to calculate the net lift.

RESULTS:

  • The campaign estimated 18,903,000 in campaign zone impressions. This brings the effective CPM to $1.17.

  • The campaign Hot Spot focused around your core demographic and netted 1,909,454 impressions in that zone.

  • The Exposed (Test) Audience was three times (3X) more likely to visit one of the Trulieve locations than the Unexposed (Control) Audience.

ZMA Cannabis Marketing, Wilkins Media, and Wrapify teamed up to deliver remarkable outcomes for Trulieve dispensaries. This collaboration underscores the potential of OOH advertising in enabling cannabis companies to effectively reach their target audiences and achieve their marketing goals

New Director of Ad Operations, Amy Lynn Boisvert, Brings Unmatched Digital Experience to Wrapify

by James Heller
written by James Heller

Continuing to level up the out-of-home (OOH) ad industry, Wrapify introduces Amy Lynn Boisvert as its Director of Ad Operations.

Amy brings 20 years of digital advertising experience to the new role at Wrapify. Before joining our team, she served as the Director of Digital Marketing at Growing Bolder. Prior to that, Amy led programmatic strategy and ad operations at the Boston Globe for more than eight years. Amy’s impressive career also includes working with notable brands such as AOL.

“Amy’s extensive knowledge, programmatic experience, and ability to navigate a rapidly changing industry will elevate Wrapify’s demonstrated success, both for us and our clients,” said Wrapify’s CEO and Founder James Heller.

Wrapify creates robust and fully measurable out-of-home ad campaigns, leveraging the gig economy and the highest-recall OOH medium on the road. Our unique technology can effectively attribute vehicle exposure to conversion online, in-app, or foot traffic. It also provides gig workers with an opportunity to earn extra income for the driving they already do. 

Once a brand identifies regions and sets its target demographic and psychographics, the Wrapify team gets to work. Channeling decades of experience, we produce effective creative for the campaign’s fleet.

And that’s just the beginning. The ability to measure and retarget the audience exposed is what sets us apart — and why Amy’s skill set is crucial for our team.

“As an advertiser, I know car wrapping by itself might seem like a novelty. I experienced the same pain points our clients have, specifically with the lack of attribution,” Amy said. “Wrapify changes the game. I’m excited to be a part of this overdue industry disruption.” 

In this position, Amy will oversee all digital ad operations. She will also work with brands and agencies to implement ‘Physical Retargeting,’ our digital remarketing service, and ‘Audience Porting,’ a true differentiator in the out-of-home space.

“We’ve taken the most noticeable ad medium in out-of-home advertising, vehicle wraps, and revolutionized it,” James explains. “Our platform provides advertisers with visualized attribution and retargeting capabilities while putting cash back into the pockets of the ever-growing gig economy.”

2020 Elections Meet New Multi-Channel Platform Wrapify

written by James Heller
Political Candidates Use Wrapify’s Digital Platform Powered by the Gig Economy to Share Powerful Messages and Put Cash Back into the Pockets of the People

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wrapify, the performance-driven ad tech platform for brands powered by OOH and the gig economy, has announced it will deploy its wrapped vehicles on the 2020 election trail beginning November 2019 in New Hampshire, featuring political candidates’ campaigns on cars throughout the state. Wrapify is the only ad platform in U.S. history that provides widespread visibility and delivers measurable results for political candidates while boosting jobs for the American population. Political candidate Roque “Rocky” De La Fuente is the first to capitalize on Wrapify’s unique, one-of-a-kind digital marketing platform.

In 2020, brands will continue to focus more of their overall out-of-home display budgets toward digital out-of-home (DOOH), and DOOH will be more integrated with digital buys than ever before. Last year, DOOH accounted for 37.3% of the total global OOH ad spend, according to estimates from WARC. The same report predicts that DOOH will grow 10.1% each year between 2018 and 2021.

2020 candidates are already searching for strategic outlets beyond traditional channels to market themselves and reach constituents in a more differentiated, personal and trackable way. Wrapify presents a new opportunity for political candidates to allocate campaign budgets to creatively reach voters and share their message throughout the voter journey with moments for influence, action and support.

“We work with brands, advertisers and marketers looking for new and powerful ways to reach hyper-targeted audiences — so working with political candidates is a natural fit for Wrapify,” said James Heller, CEO, and co-founder of Wrapify. “Beyond that, everyday drivers are able to monetize their trips by placing advertisements on their vehicles, which puts money back into the pockets of the people while promoting for any campaign. Wrapify is excited to work with Rocky to promote his political campaign in a creative way to connect with the community, launching first here in New Hampshire.”

Wrapify is available to anybody that drives and is looking to make extra money for their everyday commute or routes. Existing gig economy workers such as Lyft, Uber, GrubHub and Postmates drivers are also able to leverage Wrapify’s platform to earn more by monetizing their typical routines and routes.

Static vs. Digital: Here is how they stack up

by James Heller
written by James Heller

James Heller, CEO, Wrapify

SMARTBRIEF – Nov. 13

The out-of-home advertising industry is buzzing about digital out-of-home. Last year, DOOH accounted for 37.3% of the total global OOH ad spend, according to estimates from WARC. The same report predicts that DOOH will grow 10.1% each year between 2018 and 2021.

But, DOOH isn’t necessarily better, or even more technically advanced than “traditional” OOH. Some static OOH channels are powered by as much, if not more, technology than digital ones. Buyers need to understand the pros and cons of each format and be aware of common misconceptions plaguing the space.

Creative and viewability factors

The chief appeal of OOH is that it is effective — and an alternative, or supplement, to the crowded world of online advertising. This benefit holds whether the creative is digital or static, with both options having pros and cons.

Since digital OOH channels rotate ads from multiple brands on a single digital billboard, publishers can serve more impressions. This is part of the reason publishers are keen to convert static placements to LCD or LED screens: they can sell more advertising. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t any benefits for marketers. Nothing needs to be printed or manually placed, so creative lead times are short. The more advanced DOOH advertisers create dynamic ad experiences, leveraging familiar digital capabilities like weather triggering and dayparting. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) increased brand awareness for its allergy medicine, Piri, by using digital signage to share real-time pollen counts. Better yet, the campaign only went live when pollen counts passed a certain threshold.

One downside, though, is that DOOH advertisers share physical space with other companies and miss out on impressions. With static OOH, companies have 100% viewability and ownership. Static placements are often easier to read and of higher visual quality than many digital images. You can’t create dynamic creative, but you can still ignite online or offline action with compelling copy and visuals. To create an immersive experience and tell a sequential story, advertisers can purchase a series of static placements that reflect their audience’s travel patterns. For example, to raise awareness and increased app use, a delivery service used posters on New York City subways. In one week, the campaign generated 1.1M earned impressions on social and, ultimately, drove a 10% increase in app use…
