My friends at BFG Communications in Hilton Head Island (where I once worked) recently won the Buffalo Wild Wings’ social media marketing account. It didn’t take them long to strike.
According to today’s New York Times, Buffalo Wild Wings is embarking on a geolocation campaign, called “Home Court Advantage,” in hopes of engaging customers at a deeper level than mere smartphone “check-ins” allow.
The chain, which has 730 locations around the country, is known for its wing-eating contests and trivia challenges. Beginning this month, it is working with Scvngr, a location-based social media network, to introduce contests and rewards for its customers.
By adding gaming and retail promotions to the mix, Scvngr is offering a more relevant mobile app to consumers and marketers alike, one that happens to fit the Buffalo Wild Wings brand to a T.
