Taking seasonal ag products from commodity to value-add
For farmers prepping for harvest, consumable parts—from chopper blades to paddle tines—are seen as a necessary commodity. But not all are created equal. During a particularly tough season, Case IH needed to prove the value of higher-quality OEM parts—and the service and support that comes with them.
Objectives
Shift perceptions around harvest parts—from commodity to value-add/competitive edge; educate targets about the benefits of harvest prep/OEM parts; drive traffic to online part store
Approach
Previous retail campaigns mostly pushed product and special promotions—with little focus on brand story or education. For this campaign, we shifted our approach—delivering a concept that empowered farmers during a less-than-ideal growing season with a rallying cry: “Bring it on.” This umbrella messaging covered multiple digital tactics, from paid social to email to content.
Facebook carousel ads and emails presented a compelling case for high-quality harvest parts to help combat timely challenges brough on by a particularly wet planting and growing season.
An ebook—promoted via dynamic Facebook ads and available through a landing page—provided tips for “taking back your harvest”.
