OVERVIEW

Execution

The combined use of e-commerce and social networks invited consumers to make something that wasn't possible before: to bargain discounts on an online store. Every week, Walmart choose a product and VISA set a goal to be reached by consumers in social networks. Examples: 5000 twits mentioning VISA and a video game would cost 50% off it's original price; 1000 people on the VISA fan page on Facebook would result in a 40% discount for the UP dvd on the Walmart online store if people would buy with VISA. The collective mobilisation aspect and high financial benefits made unnecessary for VISA to buy media to divulge the campaign.

Outcome

Every goal was reached. In some social networks the goal was beaten by 285%. Every product participating was completely sold out in Walmart. Some products sold in less than 35 minutes, the equivalent to 3 months of stock and we reached more than 8 million people without a single online banner. Understand it: people talked about Visa over the Internet and Visa was happy. Visa told Walmart there were thousands of potential buyers and Walmart was happy. Walmart gave a VERY special discount for Visa clients, and then people were happy. And Visa was happy again because ALL transactions were made with the Visa cards.
