Indium Case Study 2

Client – Indium Corporation

Project: Indium8.9 Product Launch This is BIG!

Goals: The industry had recently undergone a transition to products that eliminated lead and other hazardous materials, in compliance with worldwide initiatives driven by Europe’s RoHS legislation and similar regulations in Asia. So, when Indium Corporation developed a Pb-free/lead-free solder that offered similar and even better results than the lead-containing solders, this was BIG news.

The creative challenge was to create a unique promotion for what some may consider a commodity product. Keeping in mind that we were targeting a technically astute audience, it also was important to develop a compelling message that would help increase sales and enhance the corporate/product line brand. Measurable goals included:

  • Increase the number of overall product leads for the show and obtain at least 15 new leads for Indium8.9
  • Obtain at least 10 mentions in industry publications (print and online)
  • Increase number of hits to the new Indium8.9 website landing page

Scope: This new product and promotional theme was rolled out just 45 days prior to one of the major USA trade shows in the electronics assembly industry, APEX. Pre-show, show support and post-show tactics included:

Pre-show

  • Website landing page
  • Print ads
  • Online ads

Show support

  • Motion graphics
  • Video
  • Exhibit graphics
  • Literature
  • Press conference

Post-show

  • Direct mail
  • Video promotion for sales reps

Outcomes: Results included:

  • 50% increase in overall leads from the previous two years
  • Eighteen press mentions, primarily online
  • Double the traffic to the Indium8.9 landing page from an average of 22 per day one week prior to the show to 55 per day during the show through the week after the show

In addition, The Paige Group also assisted with Indium’s international launch into the solar materials market.
