The Challenge
This tax prep business needed to remind existing and potential clients about upcoming tax deadlines, while offering a compelling 20% off incentive to drive immediate appointments. Their goal was to build urgency and drive phone calls and QR scans.
The Strategy
They mailed 5,100 postcards with the headline “Don’t Forget Your Taxes Are Due!”, using bold fonts and vibrant colors to create a sense of urgency. A 20% discount was emphasized, and a large QR code directed customers to an online booking form. OMNI REACH, powered by AI, helped them target individuals flagged as likely late-filers or past-year customers. The campaign was boosted with matching Google and Facebook ads that reflected the same urgency and branding.
The Results
The campaign generated 45 total responses — 38 phone calls and 7 QR code submissions. They secured 35 new tax returns, resulting in $15,500 in revenue. OMNI ads received 14,700 impressions and 235 clicks, adding fuel to their deadline push.
