First, in 2008, came the Great Recession. Then in 2010, just when things were
turning around, came worries of a double dip. But through it all, some owners
were successful, through innovative strategies and trying new angles. And many
did it using tools from American Express OPEN. In short, they were “Booming.”
We wanted to inspire other owners to do the same. So we launched with a wake-up
call to small business using “Reveille” as a rallying cry.
After the campaign broke, visits to open.com were up by almost 20% and new
Cardmembers were up by over 30%.
