Quiznos Giving Away Subs For Subscriptions

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

It’s been a hobby of mine to track interesting social media campaigns. Tech firms like Dell and HP have been the first to get with the program, while fast food has been a close second. Burger King, has been the most notable entrant, giving away a free burger if you axed 10 of your friends on Facebook.

picture-26Now Quiznos is giving away some free food if you just sign up for their site (link). Likely it’s in response to Subway’s compelling $5 foot long jingle. Quiznos, although less publicized, also sells $5 sandwiches.

In total, they’ll give away 1 million subs to people who sign up for the site. As you can see, at 67K given away, they still have a ways to go. While I like the tag line, it’s concise and appealing (who doesn’t want free food?), the campaign is like a big neon sign built off the electric grid. It doesn’t lend itself to be shared within social media, nor have I seen it being promoted there. Facebook Connect could be used to broadcast a user’s sign up to their social network. A simple “share this” button could make it easy for users to pass on the deal.
