GKMS / Western Union

Courts Location Revitalization Campaign 2025

Western Union wanted to address underperforming Courts Furniture Store agent locations by increasing foot traffic and transaction volume. The initiative combined two targeted programmatic campaigns - "Win a Weekend for 2" and "Collect 5 or More" - designed to reward frequent money transfer collections and encourage repeat visits.
Campaign Duration: May 1 - July 10, 2025

Tactics:

  • Geo-Fencing: Focused around Courts and competitor money transfer locations to intercept high-intent users.
  • Site Retargeting & Contextual Targeting: Engaged past Western Union website visitors and money-service shoppers online.
  • Dynamic Creative: Incentive-based messaging ("Win a Weekend for 2" / "Collect 5 or More, Get $J5,000") localized per region.

Results:
The combined campaign flight delivered 554,098 impressions, generating 1,992 clicks and 4,920 weighted actions, with an average CTR of 0.36% - above the benchmark for financial retail categories. Key Courts locations such as UNICOMER King Street and Portmore outlets showed improved engagement, with CTRs reaching 1%+ in several trade zones. Geo-fence data confirmed stronger interaction around Naggo Head Transport Centre, VMBS Portmore, and Knutsford Express Kingston, reflecting increased awareness and visitation near Courts branches.

Outcome:
The incentive-led creative and location-based targeting successfully drove measurable engagement uplift for Courts-based Western Union outlets. The initiative demonstrated that programmatic advertising can directly support retail network growth, improving transaction performance in previously underperforming agent locations.
