Big brands often come up with unique promotional strategies to stand out in crowded markets, capture consumer attention and boost sales by sparking curiosity, engagement, and positive brand experiences. Following this trend, Amazon has launched an innovative “crane-marketing” campaign that is already grabbing the attention of customers, particularly in Mumbai.
This campaign is part of the company’s upcoming Great Indian Festival Sale, which will go live on the Amazon app starting September 23.
Amazon’s Crane Marketing
As part of the campaign, the company attached a massive sofa to a crane in the middle of the city to capture the attention of passersby. In a video shared on Instagram, the couch is seen suspended in the sky with a large placard that
reads, “Sofa will not drop, its price will,” indicating towards the high discounts coming up for the customers during the sale.
How Did Social Media React?
As soon as the pictures and videos of the sofa surfaced on social media, it grabbed the audience’s attention, prompting several reactions. An Instagram user quipped, “Mere Ghar ka sofa Chori hogaya hai kisi koh dikhai deh toh turant msg kare.” Another one wrote, “Pushpa movie me pehle dikhaha tha ye.” One of them shared, “It’s a thermacol.”
A person commented, “Vaise hi haadson ka saal hai. Gir gaya to kisi ke sar pe!!” Another user penned, “Buss girna mat.” A user shared, “Amazing,” the other one wrote, “Technologiaaaa.”
