RESULTS AT A GLANCE

  • 12.0% open rate, 1.15% click-through rate, and 9.53% click-to-open rate, exceeding historical benchmarks

  • Reached 800K+ high-intent cleaning shoppers, including Target Top Shoppers, within proximity of 800+ Target store locations

  • Supported Target by driving digital engagement aligned to local retail availability

  • Delivered consistent performance across email, display, and a dedicated EasyWring landing experience


CHALLENGE & INSIGHTS


CHALLENGE:

OCedar needed to drive awareness and consideration for the EasyWring Spin Mop & Bucket System in a highly competitive cleaning category. Broad-reach tactics lacked efficiency and relevance for purchase-ready shoppers. The brand required a more precise, retailer-aligned approach that could scale while delivering measurable engagement. Key objectives included:

  • Drive engagement among high-intent cleaning shoppers

  • Support Target by aligning digital activation with store proximity

  • Reinforce EasyWring’s product innovation at the point of consideration

  • Use a digital coupon to motivate action without adding friction


KEY INSIGHTS:

  • Shoppers already purchasing within the cleaning category are more responsive to value-led messaging

  • Retail proximity increases relevance and likelihood of engagement

  • Simple, clearly presented incentives outperform complex promotional structures

  • Engagement improves when product education and incentive are delivered in a single shopper flow


ACTIVATION STRATEGY & TACTICS

OCedar launched a digital-first activation supporting Target by targeting high-frequency cleaning shoppers located near Target stores. Shoppers were served a clear value message, directed to a dedicated EasyWring landing page, and prompted to engage with a digital coupon tied directly to retail availability. Performance was measured against historical benchmarks to validate impact.


ACTIVATION STRATEGY:

  • Target High-Intent Shoppers

  • Align With Retail Proximity

  • Lead With a Clear Digital Incentive

  • Reduce Friction to Conversion

ACTIVATION ASSETS:

STRATEGIC TAKEAWAY

Retail engagement improves when digital activation is built around intent, proximity, and simplicity.
