Use the TempData Dictionary, it is mainly for storing objects between Actions redirects:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    TempData.Add("Test", "Hello world");
    return RedirectToAction("About");
}

public ActionResult About()
{
    ViewData["Test"] = TempData["Test"];
    return View();
}

Then retrieve the value in your view:

<%=ViewData["Test"] %>
