Adidas Guerrilla Marketing
It is an unconventional way of performing marketing activities on a very low budget. Guerrilla marketing is quite different from traditional marketing efforts. Guerrilla marketing means going after the conventional goals of profits, sales and growth but doing it by using unconventional means, such as expanding offerings during gloomy economic days to inspire customers to increase the size of each purchase. Instead of asking that you invest money, guerrilla marketing suggests you invest time, energy, imagination and knowledge instead.
The concept store is called Adidas Originals. The overcrowded Leidse Square in Amsterdam is home to numerous sports bars and tourist traps, ideal for a public stage of “guerilla marketing”. In fact, those big boxes attract a lot of people and it will help to raise the customer’s attention to Adidas brand name.
