Justin Bent Rail collection - Going live in August

Justin Bent Rail collection of edgy western looks targeting 18-to-24-year-old consumers is set to launch. Justin is leveraging their country music clout to get this boot off the ground.

“Bands in the alternative country scene are popular with that crowd,” said spokesperson Megan Force, referring to the collection’s core audience — particularly those living in the southern and western parts of the U.S., where these bands are most well known.

The Fort Worth, Texas-based company will promote the line through a marketing program that focuses on interacting with consumers. Initiatives include social media programs on MySpace, Facebook and Twitter, as well as exclusive live concert video streams and mobile text-to-win promotions. On the more traditional marketing side are POS materials and gift-with-purchase perks such as music download cards.

The Randy Rogers Band, singer-songwriter Wade Bowen and the Casey Donahew Band will be featured in the campaign, wearing the boots on tour as well as in the ads.
