When Carroten needed to drive product trial and brand awareness during peak summer season, they deployed a multi-format campaign combining advertising scooters with promotional staff for maximum impact. The strategic beach-targeted campaign successfully delivered skincare samples directly to target consumers, demonstrating the power of scooter advertising layered with experiential marketing for product launches.
The Challenge
Carroten faced the challenge of reaching sun-conscious consumers at the moment of skincare need during summer. They needed an advertising solution that could:
- Target beach areas during peak sun exposure periods
- Deliver product samples directly to target consumers
- Create brand visibility in high-traffic coastal locations
- Combine awareness and trial in a single campaign
- Maximize engagement with sun-care product users
The Solution: Multi-Format Beach Marketing Campaign
Carroten partnered with STT Advertising to deploy advertising scooters layered with promotional staff in beach areas, creating a comprehensive sampling and awareness campaign.
Campaign Highlights
Strategic Beach Area Targeting The three-panel illuminated advertising scooters focused on high-traffic coastal locations during peak beach periods:
- Beach Promenades: Coastal walking paths with high pedestrian traffic
- Beach Access Points: Entry areas capturing beachgoers arriving and departing
- Beachfront Cafes: Popular dining areas with extended dwell time
- Coastal Car Parks: Parking areas capturing beachgoers before beach visits
- Boardwalks: Popular coastal recreational areas with families and tourists
Layered Multi-Format Approach Carroten deployed a comprehensive multi-touchpoint strategy:
– Advertising Scooters: Three-panel illuminated displays creating brand visibility and awareness
– Promotional Staff: Brand ambassadors distributing product samples and engaging consumers
– Coordinated Coverage: Scooters and staff operating in tandem for maximum impact
– Sample Distribution: Direct product trial opportunities at point of need
– Brand Engagement: Staff providing product information and skincare advice
Peak Sun Period Coverage Scooter advertising and promotional staff operated during optimal beach periods—mid-morning through late afternoon (10am-5pm)—when sun exposure and skincare awareness are highest.
Multi-Location Campaign Coverage The campaign rotated through multiple popular beach destinations, building cumulative brand awareness and product trial across coastal areas throughout the summer season.
Campaign Performance Tracking STT Advertising provided route documentation, daily photography, estimated pedestrian impressions, and Carroten tracked sample distribution and consumer engagement to measure campaign effectiveness.
Why Advertising Scooters Work for Experiential Marketing
High-Impact Brand Visibility Scooter advertising creates large-format brand presence that amplifies promotional staff activities, ensuring consumers see brand messaging before, during, and after sample interactions.
Location-Specific Targeting Advertising scooters navigate beach promenades, boardwalks, and coastal areas inaccessible to larger mobile billboards, reaching consumers at the moment of product need.
Multi-Touchpoint Strategy Combining scooter advertising with promotional staff creates multiple brand exposures—visual awareness from scooters plus personal engagement from staff—maximizing campaign impact.
Extended Campaign Presence Advertising scooters provide continuous brand visibility throughout operating hours, while promotional staff create concentrated engagement periods, delivering both reach and depth.
Cost-Effective Sampling Amplification Scooter advertising amplifies sampling activities by creating brand awareness beyond immediate staff reach, ensuring broader audience exposure than sampling alone.
Flexible Route Optimization Advertising scooters can adjust routes based on beach traffic patterns, weather conditions, and optimal consumer engagement locations throughout the campaign.
Environmentally Appropriate Advertising scooters provide eco-friendly brand visibility suitable for beach and coastal environments, aligning with outdoor lifestyle values.
Measurable Results The campaign delivered high product sample distribution in target beach areas, strong brand awareness among sun-care consumers, direct consumer engagement and feedback, and excellent ROI for product launch investment.
