Jet Blue lands in a parking garage

[Source: springwise.com]


I love creative marketing and I think JetBlue did just that with a recent out-of-home strategy. With the help of Carspaze, JetBlue transformed a section of a parking garage into a whole new experience. The creative features a huge billboard for JetBlue and tops it off with runway lines and clever messaging. I think it is refreshing and creative to bring out of home marketing into a typically dark and depressing venue. I would love to see car manufacturers take advantage of these new ad placements.

Not sure that car manufactures will listen to me, but I suggest utilizing this as a model to "pimp out" a few parking spaces for your customers. For instance, BMW should have a BMW owner section that showcases the look and feel of the brand and creates a feeling of being a VIP. Obviously you can't actually reserve the spaces for BMW drivers, but it would be interesting to see how disruptive and impactful the marketing would be. It not only brings awareness to non-BMW customers of their commitment to customer service, but it also makes BMW customers feel that much more important and a part of the family building more brand loyalty.

Just a thought for all you car makers out there. It is a tough economy and customer satisfaction and loyalty is one of the only things keeping you afloat. If you do decide to use my idea I'll be expecting a thank you card with a big check in the mail shortly.

Let me know your thoughts.
