The Brief

Observation shows that people who come to the smart fortwo showrooms bring with them their loved ones or close friends. The fact that smart fortwo is a two seat car inspired the idea to do something as a gesture to strengthen the relationship between the potential buyer and the companion. A special sunshade/sunblind was designed by using the visuals of legendary duos from the world of music, art, theatre, and/or politics. This sunshade/sunblind was sent to smart fortwo owners as a promotional item.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

A special sunshade/sunblind was designed by using the visuals of legendary duos from the world of music, art, theatre, and/or politics. This sunshade/sunblind was sent to smart fortwo owners as a promotional item.

Results

The smart owners liked the promo gift and used them in their smart. Interaction and the traffic through web/e-mails and call center increased by around 20% thanks to the visibility caused by the sunshades. People who reached the showrooms or MBT wanted to know whether a new smart model is coming soon; although the aim was not to communicate a new model but just to strengthen the bond with our consumers.
