Air Wick Tests Canadian Word-of-Mouth Program
This spring, Reckitt Benkiser's Air Wick FreshMatic Mini brand ran a pilot test in Canada of iInfluencer, a recently launched word-of-mouth marketing product from Epsilon Targeting's ICOM division.

According to Epsilon, Reckitt reported a 46% sales lift after the test, which targeted 12,500 air care product influencers via direct mail, e-mail and the Web. 

The ROI of the test was determined by a concentration of activity in locations near influencers, and an increase in purchases of other AirWick products.
