The targeted viral email which will be received by 5,000 yoga fans, who have opted-in to receive more information on health products and itÂ’s alternatives - incorporating the viral factor where it can be forwarded on to friends and family of those who will receive it from people that they know.
Online media advertising and competitions is to raise awareness of the current Rodney Yee release, brand and additional titles, rather than an opportunity for direct sales of the product. Aimed predominately at women aged between 25 to 45, the campaign will run across mostly female, health, fitness and beauty websites until late January 2002.
Hayley Barker, Online Promotions Manager at New Media Maze explains, “This is a timely release for Universal Pictures Video due to how conscious people become about their health, fitness and weight during and especially after Christmas. The Gaiam Yoga is the best-selling Yoga in the world - the Videos and DVDs offer an introduction and enlightenment to a healthier way of life, which appeals to everyone. The promotion appeals to consumer conscious, making them think about what they can do to ensure a healthier living.”
Barker adds, “Yoga has never been so popular with many celebrities promoting Yoga as a healthier way of life. The timing for this release couldn’t be better because there are so many people thinking about how they can ‘beat the bulge’ if they have indulged over the Christmas period. The Gaiam Yoga Videos and DVDs for many people would be a fitness wake-up call to embracing a more healthier lifestyle for the body and mind for 2002.”
Dawn Wright Universal Picture Video’s Senior Project Manager says, “Gaiam Yoga is part of the Living-well range of health Videos, and they are currently market leaders in Canada and the US and are expected to be huge in the UK. New Media Maze has captured the essence of the Rodney Yee Gaiam Yoga Video and DVD and will be pushing a comprehensive online campaign. This is a fantastic time of year to raise awareness of this leading Yoga Video and DVD title to a more receptive audience.
Promoting the title just after the Christmas period provides us more appropriate opportunity to appeal to the target audiences at a time where they are likely to want to learn more, and then purchase.”
