Various examples of guerrilla marketing
Graffiti:
It is basically a marketing technique which uses walls or streets and leave a mark on it (paint). It is advised to get a prior permission from the concerned owner of the building or street failing which you would have to face [refer the image below] consequences.
Reverse graffiti:
Reverse Graffiti is the process of cleaning specific areas of dirty pavements or walls which creates art or advertising through the contrast of clean and dirty sections.
Undercover Marketing:
Here marketers disguise themselves as peers amongst their target audience. For example, showing brands or products through movies or series.
Flash Mobs:
A flash mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression.
Treasure hunts:
Guerrilla marketing treasure hunts often involve posting online clues to hidden items scattered across a single or several cities. Winners are rewarded with digital codes, prizes, or a hint for the next level of the treasure hunt.
Guerrilla marketing is completely an experiment. But one thing has to be accepted. It makes people around you see you. As a marketer what else is your aim?
