This campaign targeted attendees of the SEAA conference, aiming to engage them prior to the event to facilitate in-person connections during the show. The campaign focused on Michael D., targeting prospects in specific roles aligned with Combase's services.

MWAA 2024 in Chicago

MWAA 2024 in Chicago

This campaign targeted attendees of the MWAA (Midwest Acquirers Association) trade show. The goal was to introduce Combase’s services and arrange on-site meetings at the event.

The final campaign focus was to highlight Combase’s VIP events at RetailNOW and drive on-site meetings during the show. This strategic combination ensured higher visibility and engagement for the client team.

Although an additional email blast was proposed just before SEAA to capitalize on the prospect list, the client chose to proceed with their own email campaign instead.
