Go cards promote A&E network
Article Abstract:
Horizon Media, a marketing company with headquarters in New York, helped A&E cable network to market the A&E Literary Collection through a special series of Go Cards. The promotion centered around four new movies adapted from the novels Tom Jones, The Ebb-Tide, Emma, and Jane Eyre. These films were shown from March 1998 to April 1998. Displays housing the Go Cards postcards were set up in branches in Los Angeles, CA, and New York of the Barnes & Noble Booksellers; and in restaurants. These marketing mediums were supplemented by cable spots and bus-side advertising in Chicago, IL, and New York. The Go Cards were chosen by Horizon media since a schedule was printed on each postcard to make it more convenient for patrons.
