With the purpose of promoting "docomo Denki" service applications

ーBackgroundー

We implemented a DM measure aimed at promoting "docomo Denki" enrollment by appealing to the value of using "d CARD GOLD" and "docomo Denki" as a set for "d CARD GOLD" holders. We proposed 3 types of DMs with optimized messages and designs according to customer attributes and contract status.

Designed creative with 3 approaches

-Production Points-

  • Approach 1: Impact proposal highlighting 10% cash back
  • Approach 2: News-style Notice design proposal
  • Approach 3: Poi-katsu appeal to stimulate interest

Produced 3 types of DM with different appeal approaches. Designed a structure to capture attention with an impactful cover design, leading from benefit appeals to the application flow. We considered approaches that would resonate with each customer.

Acquired 253 applications

-Results-

We designed creatives from multiple angles and acquired 253 applications. By verifying the effects of each creative, it also led to a grasp of more effective appeal axes and design trends.
