UNILEVER

How Unilever's baby brand achieved
85% opt-in rate during lockdown

01

THE
CHALLENGE

1st party data &
Emotional connection

Brands have increasingly felt the need to collect first-party data the past few years, especially since Google announced the end of third party cookies from its browsers by 2022. The latest trends in the FMCG industry show that people prefer to buy from brands they trust, with their data, share common values with, and feel connected with on an emotional level.

In order to engage consumers and collect genuine opt-ins, Unilever’s primary Baby Care brand, Zwitsal, launched an emotionally touching campaign during the lockdown in 2020. Targeted to parents, and acknowledging the “We understand how it feels”.

The goal

Unilever wanted to create an emotional bond with parents
and collect genuine opt-ins for their comms

THE
SOLUTION

Surprise for Grandparents

To create a unique family connection during the lockdown, Unilever partnered up with Stampix to enable parents to send printed pictures of the kids as a surprise to family members that were separated & isolated.

Activation

Parents were activated through a social media campaign, inviting them to print beautiful moments and send them out as gifts to their loved ones.

Branded Platform

By clicking on the post, customers were redirected to the Zwitsal branded microsite (hosted by Stampix) to upload their photos, enter shipment details and opt-in for future comms.

Emotional Connection

A few days later, photos were delivered to the mailbox with a personalised message from Zwitsal on the reverse and a reference of who sent the pictures as a gift.

THE
BENEFITS

By offering Stampix photo rewards, Zwitsal was able to connect with their target audience on an emotional level, create long term brand affinity and increase their database with over 4.200 opt-ins in a single week.

High opt-in rate

By engaging parents on an emotional journey, their sentiment towards the brand is improved, and they are more likely to opt-in.

No data transfer

Stampix acts as a data processor, and does not become the owner of the data.

Easily customized features

The platform and messages on the reverse of the pictures can be easily customised to fit different moments during the year.

Scalable

Rewarding 100 or 1mio customers has no impact on our operations & service level.

By enabling the Share Module, Zwitsal allowed their customers to share the microsite with other parents via Whatsapp and Messenger, reaching more people organicly, without additional paid media spending.
