Marketing Strategies in Targeting Audience and Situation

How Situation Marketing is gaining popularity?

There are no two thoughts about the fact that every individual is bombarded every single day with an array of graphical ads. Some ads are receptive to some while they are not to others. The reason behind this is because advertisers and marketers tailor their advertising messages in such a way that only the target group responds to them.

In this blog, we will discuss few examples of how advertisers are successfully using different kinds of promotional media to advertise to different sections of the society and situation marketing.

Advertising to the Visually Impaired

Many brands are striving to make their websites, brochures, infographics and other marketing collateral accessible to the visually impaired. When brands are planning for their campaigns, it is essential that they accommodate the needs of this important demographic.

A company in Indiana, USA, came up with the first and only ever Braille printed paper cup in the world, thus catering to the needs of the visually impaired or partially sighted. Braille printed paper cups are definitely a breakthrough in the world of creative paper cup ads.

When demonetisation hit the country last year, many brands were seeing cashing-in on the situation in terms of advertising. Paytm made the most of the situation by promoting its cashless payment option. We at GingerCup also took the opportunity to promote FxKart, a company offering hassle-free exchange of foreign currency. Our entire paper cup advertising campaign was based on the slogan ‘Chai Pe Kharcha’.
