Il Fornaio loves Cabrio Taxi Pedicabs!
Il Fornaio serves creatively prepared premium-quality Italian cuisine based on authentic regional Italian recipes and is situated close to San Francisco's Embarcadero. While Il Fornaio is well positioned to serve the corporate lunch and dinner crowd of the numerous advertising and marketing agencies focused around Levi's Plaza / Battery St., they felt they were missing out on the visitor market, which passes by just a few blocks away on the Embarcadero.
Pedicabs are the perfect platform to target this market, since 90% of rides are along the Embarcadero. Our pedicabs are seen by thousands of visitors to San Francisco everyday. And our drivers are often asked for recommendations of where to eat. Branding two pedicabs was the perfect addition to Il Fornaio's outreach efforts into this target market.
Additionally, to ensure Il Fornaio was high on the drivers' recommendation lists, they hosted a drivers' reception, introducing all of Cabrio Taxi's drivers to their menu. Now you will often hear drivers talking about their wonderful first hand experiences at Il Fornaio. And they'll even deliver customers right to the door.
Muscle Milk loves Cabrio Taxi Pedicabs!
Muscle Milk deploys street teams on a regular basis to distribute product samples to their target market. They planned to set up near the Ferry Building on San Francisco’s Embarcadero on Bike to Work Day in 2012. Since most of the people coming from the Ferry Building were walking to the Financial District, Muscle Milk decided to utilize pedicabs as a way to further increase exposure and gain a stronger customer response.
Cabrio Taxi’s pedicabs were equipped with custom-made bags from Rickshaw Bagworks that enabled the pedicab drivers to offer Muscle Milk samples and free pedicab rides. Commuters were delighted to have an opportunity to try Muscle Milk, while participating in Bike to Work Day, even without their own bike.
Glyde
Glyde.com was conducting a month long out-of-home (OOH) advertising campaign throughout San Francisco to increase awareness of their on-line market place for used electronics and media. The Embarcadero is frequented by San Francisco residents as well as visitors from around the country. It was a perfect area to include in their campaign. Pedicabs are one of the few outdoor media options along this highly traveled corridor, but it's also one of the most effective.
Pedicab advertisements lead to tens of thousands of impressions among pedestrians, cyclists and motorists everyday. Often, more importantly, our drivers serve as brand ambassadors, ensuring impressions convert to customers at much higher rates than other outdoor media. Throughout the campaign our drivers were continuously asked about the Glyde.com ads and informed people about the market place and ease of selling and buying used electronics. They also handed out cards that included the web address and highlighted the ease of selling on Glyde.com.
