Zipjet takes StreetPR for a spin
Posted by
Zipjet has teamed up with StreetPR for a face-to-face leafleting campaign focused around key London transport hubs and other locations where the brand’s target audience – 25-40 year old time-poor business men and women – can be found.
Activity kicked off in mid-January and will continue for the foreseeable future, covering locations including Oxford Circus and the West End, Kings Cross, Liverpool Street and the City of London. StreetPR will be recruiting and managing teams of brand ambassadors in branded Zipjet clothing, who will be handing out flyers promoting an offer of £10 off an initial order.
The face-to-face flyering campaign is part of an integrated marketing strategy which links the company’s online marketing with its offline activities, which also include bus and train ads.
Cory Egitton, Zipjet’s marketing manager for the UK market comments: “We are trying to connect our online advertising to direct interactions with potential customers. We’ve used face-to-face marketing in the past — we find that direct contact with potential customers is a huge boon to our brand. With face to face contact, we’re able to answer questions in real time, engage with people and really emphasise what Zipjet is all about.”
Egitton continues: “By using face-to-face flyering – concentrated in high-footfall areas our target groups are known to frequent – we’re able to relay our message directly to the consumer. When we first discovered StreetPR, we were impressed by the rates and offerings, but now having worked with them, we can also say that we’ve found them to be flexible, helpful and all around excellent partners.”
Dorian Payne, head of operations at StreetPR adds: “We’re delighted to be working with Zipjet on this ongoing campaign – as we’ve demonstrated with a number of other on-demand tech-based companies like Deliveroo, Uber, UberEats, Urban Massage and Chariot, experiential and face-to-face marketing can help bridge the gap between the screen and the street and introduce a human face to an online brand.”
