Mobile marketing agency Mediaburst has revealed that it is behind a mobile campaign for The Co-operative Travel. An in-store promotion launches this month on screens mounted at checkouts in Co-operative Food stores, enabling shoppers to text the travel company and save an extra 50 per booking off last-minute summer and autumn breaks to selected destinations.
Shoppers simply text the word Summer to a shortcode that appears on the in-store screen, and receive an automatic response with the message: Save an Extra 50 per booking off last-minute summer holidays.
