Road Runner scores with sports bra campaign

Article Abstract:

Road Runner Sports of San Diego, CA, has reported a 6,300% increase in sales of athletic bras following an e-mail marketing campaign that was launched after the US women soccer team's World Cup victory over China. The company sent around 100,000 e-mails promoting the use of Champion athletic bras on July 12, two days after Brandi Chastain took off her shirt and exposed her black bras following her winning penalty goal. The e-mails linked recipients to www.roadrunner.com where Road Runner operates an online store.
