PetSmart - Mobile Billboards
Summary
A new store opening is an exciting and important time for the owner, but getting others to know and care is often a challenge. For Pet Smart’s opening in Cochrane Alberta, Movia helped get the word out.
A delivery truck and delivery van were wrapped with ads announcing the opening to the city’s 32,000 residents. Given the familiarity of their stores, the space was utilized to make the logo and “Open” message as big and noticeable as possible.
Location of routes was important part of the strategy, with vehicles chosen that were delivering to nearby businesses around and within the shopping plaza. Potential customers would assume the trucks were Pet Smart-owned vehicles, so besides getting the message out, it would help telegraph that the store was already busy. The ads are in market for 8 weeks in August and September.
