Gift Card Company Engages with Consumers and Drives 60% Sales Growth with CoolerX

Cooler Success

A major gift card company promoted their gift cards utilizing compelling branding and promotional messaging on CoolerX (formerly known as Cooler Screens) empowering consumers to make more informed gift purchasing decisions and driving sales growth for the brand. Consumers engaged with the branded content while in the cooler aisle and then were compelled to select the company’s gift cards – located outside the coolers – when visiting the gift cards section of the store.
