DescriptionThe campaign of 2011 year includes two steps:
Definition step – introduction of the sign “Bought in a railway station” into the communication using:
- advertorials in the press about the renewal of the railway stations;
- spreading of the promo materials among the visitors of railway stations;
- placing the advertising materials on the infrastructure of railway stations;
Active step – initiation of the communication aimed at potential customers and sellers:
- special project: рublic inquiry and the promo paper “Personal Express”;
- commercials in business press and web sites;
- outdoor advrtising.
The main task is to make potential customers think that the railway station is the place where they can purchase the products where they usually buy in another places. The pressing problem: visitors don’t consider a railway station as a selling point and don’t know the authenticity of the sellers goods and if their services of high quality. Our solution is to find out which goods do people want and ready to buy at railway stations and to propose them such products.
The main sign of the campaign “Bought in the railway station” is placed on each message to make audience think that to buy goods in railway stations is convinient.
