Frequently, the higher price tag of wedding ceremony attire causes brides to sideline other important bridal issues.

Why not Rent a Limousine for the Olympic Games

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

The Olympic Games 2012 is coming to the UK; London has hosted the Olympic Games two times in the last century. First was in 1908 and then in 1948 they were also going to host the Olympic Games in 1944 but it was cancelled due to World War II. London is the only city in the UK to have hosted the Olympic Games, and London has never hosted the winter Olympic Games. I gather as we never get snow in London and can you imagine them building a bobsleigh team around central London. As it would be history to watch London host the Olympic Games I suggest the best way to remember the event is to hire a chauffeur stretched limousine to take around London. There is a lot of benefit from hiring a limousine as you don’t have to drive yourself, you can have more than 5 people sitting in the same vehicle at the same time, you can enjoy the complimentary bubbly and you can also act like a celebrity. What’s more this is a once in a life time opportunity as the London Olympic Games may not come again for about 60 years and also this would be history and a story to tell all the younger generation.

Limousine companies know that it is going to be a once in a life time opportunity for customers to book their limousines for the London Olympic Games, because of this limousine companies have put the price up a bit and are taking bookings from now as it will become a very busy time and it will become very hard to have any last minute bookings.

Imagine the limousine arriving to take you the London Olympic Games, your chauffeur will be at your door in the morning with your limousine all ready with your complimentary bubbly chilling in the cooler with champagne glasses and strawberries with cream. You can listen to the radio as the limo drives off to get you to the arena. As you look thru the tinted window, you will see the public all making their way to the area either by car, bus, train or coach. This will make you feel extra special and may even feel like a celebrity.

Once you arrive at the arena the chauffeur will make an entrance with the stretched limousine and this can become a real head turner, the limos I suggest would be more suitable for this type of event are:

Hummer H2 limos

Ford Excursion 4×4 limousines

Lincoln Navigator limos

Audi Q7 limousines

Chrysler C300 baby Bentley limos

Jeep Expedition limousines

BMW X5 limos

Lincoln Millennium limousines

These limos hold between 8 -16 people and are inclusive with mirrored ceilings, fibre optic lights, mood lighting, T.V’s, DVD’s, privacy screen, mini bars, plasma screens, excellent sound systems and complimentary bubbly.

If these limos are not as big or you may want something a bit more memorable, here are a few ideas:

50 seater party bus limo

Pink Hummer H2 limousine

Pink Lincoln millennium limo

Fire engine limousine.

Why not have pink limo hire, stretch limo hire or hummer limo hire.

 

 

New Campaign for 2007 Jeep Patriot

Monday, January 25th, 2010

The 2007 Jeep Patriot has a new kind of campaign – and it sure is not going to use the usual blend of television, radio, and print campaigns.

The new campaign is known to have a cutting edge appeal. And it is surely going to surprise most of us. See, the 2007 Jeep Patriot is going to be brought to the knowledge of the consumers through a whole new internet experience wherein consumers and visitors would be able to get to know the vehicle in its whole package.

It can be remembered that last February the brand had sent out that campaign called “The Patriot Factor” which is quite unique. It is a combination of the Jeep brand and Marvel Comics’ characters. This has been made to be a comic book but can be read and accessed online. Readers would be shown the adventures that would follow a storyline depending on who is reading. It is part of the whole new scheme of marketing the Jeep Patriot and consumers are given that chance to have a “choose your own adventure” kind of game.

The additional marketing strategy is now already launched and it is known as “The Way Beyond Trail”. This time around, it is an online film made to be interactive. If they choose to, consumers and visitors can be part of a whole adventure by joining the three other characters shown on the monitor. They would be driving a Jeep Patriot, going through different locations without much noise, thanks to Nissan mufflers, and then they would be on the hunt for buried treasure.

Jay Kuhnie, the director of Jeep Communications, is proud of these strategies and he shares, “’The Way Beyond Trail’ and ‘The Patriot Factor’ combine the timeless magic of story-telling with the power and reach of the Internet. Both applications allow us to engage prospective customers of the Jeep Patriot in an environment that is interactive and entertaining, which resonates well with them.”

To access these Jeep creations, you can visit www.patriotadventure.com starting March 15.

Why a Killer Video Game is the U.s. Army’s Best Recruitment Tool

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

By David Verklin and Bernice Kanner

Authors of Watch This, Listen up, Click Here

Since the last draftee reported for duty in December 1972, Uncle Sam has had to hustle to staff an all-volunteer armed force. In the case of the U.S. Army, that meant recruiting 80,000 new soldiers every year — essentially replacing more than the entire workforce of BellSouth every 12 months.

Advertising did the trick initially. After “Today’s Army Wants to Join You” fizzled, in January 1981, “Be All You Can Be” became the battle cry. For two decades, wrapped around ads that made this branch look as adventurous as an Outward Bound course, it resonated with 17-to-24-year-olds (of whom the Army is the nation’s largest employer). Then, in 2001, that was scuttled for an “Army of One.” (”Even though there are 1,045,690 soldiers just like me, I am my own force . . .”) Critics scoffed that the new tin slogan was misguided (isn’t conformity more valued than individuality in the barracks?); the Army countered that it was effective.

Then Iraq exploded.

Despite adding thousands of additional recruiters, upping the enlistment bonus and funding for college, fattening the ad budget, and ratcheting up the patriotic appeal, the Army could not fill its boots.

So the Army added more marketing weaponry. It hosted town hall meetings where civilians could meet soldiers and hear about their accomplishments. It tried product placement: Army mechanics on the Discovery Channel’s Monster Garage tricked out a Jeep. And it launched a thoroughly engaging computer video game that quickly became a gold standard of “advergames” for its effectiveness and realism. Gamers take such real military roles as Intelligence (18F), Engineer (18C), Communications (18E), and Combat Medic (18D), and fire the same weapons the Army has. And when they fire on the run, their aim is less accurate.

Before it was released on July 4, 2002, many expected the $7.3 million game would join the ranks of the $436 hammer and $640 toilet seat as a study of excess. Few predicted “America’s Army” would become the artillery’s most effective marketing tool, conveying the authentic military experience in a voice that prospective recruits want to hear.

More than seven million users have registered (anonymously so as to squelch any fear of recruiter harangues) with 10,000 to 50,000 new ones downloading the shoot-em-up daily. In a dozen running and gunning missions, players advance through the stages of soldierhood — drilling in basic training, target practicing with an M-16, learning about basic emergency medicine, and, finally, diving into combat. The game has been downloaded more than 16 million times, 20 percent of entering cadets at West Point have played it, and between 20 and 40 percent of new Army recruits have played it as well.

“They seek it out rather than the other way around,” noted Chris Chambers, deputy director of the Army Game Project within the Army’s Office of Economic and Manpower Analysis. At an average cost of 10 cents per hour versus $5 to $10 per hour for a TV commercial, it delivers immersion rather than mere impression.

“America’s Army” has proven to be such powerful weaponry that an official game store does brisk business selling collectible action figures, clothes, coffee mugs, and other doodads emblazoned with the logo. The Army builds parties and tournaments across the country around it. A wireless version and sequels including “America’s Army: Special Forces,” where players try to earn a Green Beret by completing Special Forces missions, have been released. Apple created a knockoff: Boot Camp. And the Army now even uses it extensively in training.

Uncle Sam Wants You . . . to play . . . and he’s not the only one. Everyone is getting in on the virtual action. Some, like the Army, create a whole game that functions as a sales brochure. Just as the Army promoted its pro-military message through gameplay, the United Nations World Food Program aims to educate about its mission to combat hunger worldwide. In “Food Force,” players steer a helicopter over the war-torn island of Sheylan, (a fictional cross between Sri Lanka and Somalia) and drop relief supplies to a population with little shelter and less food. Or they create food rations, schedule shipments, or take a supply truck through hostile terrain.

In the racing game, “Volvo Drive for Life” (playable on Microsoft’s Xbox), players are rewarded not for finishing first, but for avoiding accidents. Wander in for a test drive at a Volvo dealer and you can try it in the showroom. Dealers can bestow game cartridges on select prospects and customers. After its royal mascot tromped through “Fight Night Round 3″ (on Xbox 360), Burger King created action games around its bizarre king and made them available for just $3.99 to customers who bought a value meal. (Most games sell for at least 12 times that). Nike went beyond athletes wearing its shoes in the video game NBA 2K6: Tournament players are given different pairs of virtual footwear and choose which to put on from their Nike shoe locker depending on the task. They can also personalize the shoes with the same customization feature that’s on Nike’s iD web site.

In other advergames, marketers hitch a ride. In “CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder,” Visa’s fraud-monitoring capabilities shine when a suspicious charge on a victim’s credit card triggers investigation by a forensic-sciences team. In Tom Clancy’s “Splinter Cell Chaos Theory,” the protagonist, secret agent Sam Fisher, scales a bright neon sign for Axe deodorant and quietly enters a lunchroom inhabited by a Diet Sprite Zero vending machine. (Axe also created Mojo Master, an online game about picking up women.) In “Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow,” Fisher retrieves a message from a Sony Ericsson smart phone to learn who the villain is. In “Burnout Revenge,” players drive and crash a Carl’s Jr. delivery-truck. And players in Activision’s ‘True Crime” titles take a break from fighting gangs to recover stolen Puma sneakers.

Some marketers install games on corporate web sites or designated URLs, like “Life Saver Candy Stand,” or FiletoFish.com, the web site where a division of McDonald’s posted “Shark Bait” (in English and Spanish). Players must protect the filet-of-fish sandwich from attacking sharks. For Wachovia, Carat’s Fusion recreated the tricky 17th-hole par 3 at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. Players evaluate distance and wind conditions on this 217-yard hole to pick a club: Crowd noise lets them know if they’ve made a good virtual swing. Wachovia has sponsored the annual PGA championship since 2002: The game was fashioned to promote that, sell tickets, and create viral buzz. H&R Block’s “Deduct-A-Buck” game at the deductabuck.com web site is tax-time seasonal. Players who correctly answer questions about what they can legally write off in this Seventies-TV-quiz-show-style game win prizes.

Hollywood and Nashville hardly launch a movie or song anymore without serving up a side of game. And despite hefty royalty rates for movie titles, an action hit will almost certainly be reincarnated on a console. Turner’s “Witchblade” promoted the TV series, and games built around Men in Black II, Spider-Man, and Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course were meant to promote the new releases. Along with ads for Sprite, the sci-fi game “Planetside” featured ads for the movie Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, and in the free version of “Anarchy Online” a 15-second trailer for V For Vendetta played in a continual loop. Ads for Batman Begins in “Splinter Cell” were timed to its release in local markets.

The Da Vinci Code got its own PS2 game. Paramount Pictures crafted a Mission: Impossible III game for cell phones while Miami Vice had an accompanying game to play on Sony’s handheld PSP.

This is about more than fun and games. Yankee Group estimates that by 2007 a serious gamer will lurk in every fourth home in America. Nielsen says three out of four residences with guys under age 34 have a game system. More people slay orcs in the medieval-style quest for virtual gold and power, “World of Warcraft,” than live in Denmark. In 2006, gamers across the globe owned more than 100 million PlayStation2s and 40 million Xboxes. In the United States, video games already raked in more money than the movie box offices, and Yankee Group says the industry will top $8.3 billion by 2008. PricewaterhouseCoopers says globally it will reach $55 billion by 2009. That explains why a cottage industry in Los Angeles builds game consoles into the backs of Lincoln Navigators.

Collectively, interactive ads embedded in quizzes and games made up more than $1 billion of the $12.5 billion in online ad revenue in 2005, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau. Nielsen (which now measures the industry) expects advertising spending within games will jump from $75 million in 2006 to $1 billon by 2010. Mitch Davis, CEO of Massive, thinks it could be almost twice that — and account for about 3 percent of all media spending, just shy of what advertisers spend on the Internet.

Jeep Patriot’s Interactive Campaign Ads

Monday, January 18th, 2010

To promote the Patriot, Jeep is launching an integrated ad campaign with an interactive video series that aims to attract young car buyers. The title of the interactive video series is “Choose Your Adventure.”

The campaign will employ the same characters in traditional ads similar to online videos and allow consumers to create and participate in the developing the web video adventure story. The theme of the web video is about a treasure hunt plus there are also lots of information about the Patriot that customers will get to discover along the course of the story.

The total costs of the campaign ads were not disclose but according to Jay Khunie, director of Jeep Communications, new interactive campaign ads for the Patriot reflects an increase in the company’s internet expenses. He also added, “The media split right now is about 55% in TV, which is down significantly from where we have been… It’s 22 to 25% on Internet, which is 10% higher than what would be normal if you averaged all Jeep spending on the web.”

The Patriot is the seventh vehicle in Jeep’s lineup, and at the same time is the fourth new vehicle for the Chrysler Group division in the last eight months. Kuhnie said, “It rounds out our family” and further added that the Patriot is priced at $14,500 which perfectly addresses the low end of the marketplace.

Kuhnie also stressed that the target audience for the Patriot is male with age range starting 22 to 30 years old, single and earning an income ranging from $25,000 to $45,000. Why? “Because they are young people now entering a new life stage, we think Patriot will attract both a male and also a female audience—individual young people who have just gotten out of school, maybe in their first job—who are very social, active and do things outdoors,” explained Kuhnie.

The campaign ads which will be channeled via BBDO of Troy Mich., and Chrysler’s interactive agency, Organic, New York, as well as GlobalHue, Southfield Mich., handling the Hispanic campaign part which will also come up with TV, prints, Internet and outdoor ads. All these elements drive traffic to the web campaign at www.patriotadventure.com which is due to launch this week. The interactive campaign ads of the Jeep Patriot will showcase the immense power of its Jeep engine and the other superior features that this compact SUV possess.

The patriotadventure.com will hosts a series of interactive videos called “The Way-Beyond Trail” which allows consumers to participate in an adventure by building a narrative from among the 44 scenes. The story of the Patriot adventure begins with three friends by the name of Gary, Srini, and Jodi—same characters found on the TV ad shown sitting around a campfire. One revealed an old leather binder which happens to be a diary written by his great, great uncle Harold. The diary contains details about a buried treasure and since the ad is interactive the trio asks viewers if they want to join the adventure to find the treasure. Interested viewers are required an opt-in response.

Along the course of the adventure various new characters are going to be introduced like a gypsy lady, a sheep herder, a park ranger, a tow truck driver and a bartender. Various information about the Patriot are supplied by the three main characters in the story. Kuhnie said, “It allows us to say an awful lot about the Patriot because it gets put through its capabilities, allowing us to educate consumers in a fun and engaging way.”

The interactive Patriot campaign ad will include two 3—second spots and three 15-second spots complete with print inserts support. The inserts are also interactive with one showing a beach scene plus some removable stickers to allow readers to create their very own beach scenes. Connect-the-dot-games are also available at Jeep Patriots interactive campaign site.

Jeep will also employ ad rotation by having its TV ads aired on CBS Sports, College Sports TV, Fox Sports, and other stations. Jeep will also place sports-themed banners of the Patriot on sports web sites, Yahoo and AOL home pages. According to Kuhnie, Jeep has garnered 15,000 to 20,000 hand-raisers for the vehicle from grassroots events around winter sports. He also confirmed that Chrysler is bringing in other agencies to handle the Jeep brand assignment but he said that it’s not yet final and that the decision will probably be made beyond this month.

Soul2soul Tour the Story of a Jeep Love

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, one of the most celebrated couples of country music and whose love story began with a date in a Jeep®, will hold a Soul2Soul Tour 2007 sponsored by none other than the Jeep® brand.

At the press conference recently held at the Country Music Hall of Fame with the country music couple, the Jeep brand has announced that it will be the official sponsor of the Soul2Soul Tour 2007. The 33-concert tour will kick off in Omaha, Neb., on June 6 and will end in Anaheim, California on Aug. 10, 2007.

During the conference the country music couple gamely told the press about their “Jeep date”. Hill narrated that it all started in “1996 in State College, Penn., we were doing a show together. We took a ride in a borrowed Jeep and that’s where we decided that we were going to be together and build a life together.” McGraw added, “Faith tracked down that Jeep and gave it to me for my birthday a couple of years ago.”

According to John Plecha, Director Jeep Brnad Marketing and Global Communications, “Tim and Faith have a story about how the Jeep brand has been part of their lives that’s not unlike the thousands of stories we hear every year from Jeep owners all over the world. As members of our Jeep family, it made perfect sense to blend our brands into a mutually beneficial partnership. We are very pleased to be associated with these two very talented artists who reach a broad audience much like the seven vehicles in the Jeep lineup.”

The Soul2Soul II concert has made history as country music’s highest grossing tour ever and was named by Pollstar Magazine’s “Major Tour of 2006” defeating the likes of Madonna, Roger Waters, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Rolling Stones. Aside from the Jeep signage at every concert venue, McGraw and Hill’s “Date Jeep”, a red 1978 CJ-6 will travel with the tour along with a special “Soul2Soul” 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Jeep is also planning of taking the whole partnership to its next level which will include online activities, product placement, and special events however it is still in development so Jeep won’t be able to release any details on the matter.

The Jeep is an automobile brand and registered trademark of the German-American automaker DaimlerChrysler. Aside from producing various Jeep models, DaimlerChrysler is also responsible for the maintaining quality among the Jeep range and it accomplished this by utilizing only top-of-the-line Jeep parts and accessories like Jeep car bra which does not only enhance the looks of Jeep vehicles but also protect it from scratches and ugly dents.

Jeep Launches New Interactive Online Ad for Jeep Patriot

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Last February, Chrysler Group’s Jeep brand worked in conjunction with the popular Marvel Comics to create the “The Patriot Factor” online comic book. This unique and interactive marketing campaign for the Jeep Patriot allows the consumers to go online and create their own story.

This time, the Jeep brand wants to expand their online digital marketing campaign with the nationwide launch of their second interactive online advertisement for the all-new 2007 Jeep Patriot called the “The Way Beyond Trail”. The interactive campaign will be launched in the internet on March 15th, and will be accompanied by other marketing campaigns for the all-new 2007 Jeep Patriot that can be seen by customers through 30-second TV spots, print ads, online advertising, a Hispanic campaign, product integration, events, direct mail, and billboards. Jeep said they are targeting younger audiences with the new marketing campaign.

Jay Kuhnie, Director of Jeep Communications commented:

“‘The Way Beyond Trail’ and ‘The Patriot Factor’ combine the timeless magic of story-telling with the power and reach of the Internet. Both applications allow us to engage prospective customers of the Jeep Patriot in an environment that is interactive and entertaining, which resonates well with them. Ultimately, the campaign theme takes its cue from the 2007 Jeep Patriot. That’s because the all-new vehicle delivers the fun, freedom, utility and best-in-class Jeep 4×4 capability that allows anyone to “choose your adventure.”

“Our target here is young, from 22 to 30, with income between $25,000 and $40,000, a little more male than female, and just entering a new phase of their life,” he said. “They are just out of school maybe in their first job, moving out and trying to become adults. And they don’t mind being marketed to as long as you do it in an interesting way.” he added.

Meanwhile, John Plecha, Director of Jeep Marketing and Global Communications commented:

“The Jeep Patriot is targeted at young, active men and women who always wanted a Jeep but couldn’t afford one. Now, these consumers can choose their adventure in a Jeep Patriot because it delivers the Jeep experience at an affordable starting price – $14,985.”

Here are the details of Jeep’s “The Way Beyond Trail” interactive online marketing campaign:

The story has four main characters named Gary, Srini, Jodi, and the last character is the online participant. The setting takes place at a backwoods camping trip, where the participant will answer the challenges in 44 scenes. Every scene shows off some of the features of the all-new 2007 Jeep Patriot including flip-down speakers, Jeep Fender Flare, and the iPod holder in the center console. Participants can also go back to the previous scenes or skip the next scenes to complete the story. But doing this makes the interactive game less challenging.
