Fridge Magnets

Who says plain fridge magnets cannot be revolutionized? 🙂 Here are two brands who have done just that, and in the process also enhanced their brand experience with their consumers.

VIP Fridge Magnet

Red Tomato Pizza in Dubai take their loyal pizza patrons very seriously. So they created the ‘Pizza Emergency Button’, a fridge magnet with a difference. Each button had a loyal pizza patrons favorite pizza programmed into its memory. When hungry all that the loyal patron required to do was flip the pizza box lid on the magnet and press on the pizza button inside.

Wifi Water Magnet

Evian in Paris created a simple fridge magnet that allowed owners to order water and request a particular delivery time directly from their fridge!

The ‘Smart Drop’ magnet was made up of a microcontroller, LED screen, a wireless chip, battery and an inbuilt HTML5 app that did all the work.

KLM “Meet & Seat”

Most brands are using social channels on a tactical level i.e. just to reach people with their social ads. KLM however is taking social way beyond advertising.

Last year KLM announced it would be launching a social seating service in 2012 which would allow Facebook and LinkedIn users to meet interesting passengers on their flight…

This “Meet & Seat” service has now gone live and details are available on their website. It is currently available only on KLM flights between Amsterdam and New York, San Francisco and Sao Paulo. Stay tuned as they will be extending this service to other sectors soon.
