What Pokemon Go Could Mean to the Promotional Products Industry
"Unless you have been cut off from all social media/news, you have certainly read, or at least heard about the current Pokemon craze with the launch of Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go leverages the power of smart phones to lure gamers off of their couches, out of their homes and into the the, wait for it, real world. Kind of. Using the Pokemon Go app, players wander the streets, malls, really anywhere to capture "virtual" Pokemon that appear on their smart phone based on geographical coordinates" says Joel Moore, President of PromoCorner. He further adds: "So what does this have to do with the Promotional Products industry? Easy. Emotion inducing marketing. For example, working with a client on an upcoming walk-a-thon, may now involve the virtual placement of promotional products throughout a course. Find and secure the product and be rewarded at the end of the walk with, you know, the actual product." Click here to continue reading.
