There’s no getting away from advertising!
Captivating captive audiences around the luggage carousels at airports
At airports around the world, dozens of companies are putting their messages in front of captive audiences as they wait for their luggage to arrive. Some are on the conveyor belt like the image above, and some are marketing messages that actually tumble onto the carousel with the luggage as you can see here.
There’s no doubt, we have to look at SOMETHING for 15 minutes as we wait for our luggage to show up.
As time goes on, we’re gonna see more ways to be exposed to advertising messages. Maybe not at the level that Tom Cruise was in Minority Report, but ya never know! Mini Cooper is marketing to individuals by name in public! (Even KFC is getting into the act by putting ads on fire extinguishers in Indiana for the “fiery chicken meal.”
Our opinion is: if they’re done well, we don’t mind!
