What does the company get out of this type of ad strategy? Lots of exposure and awareness. The auto wraps tend to be colorful, eye-catching and attract lots of attention. Plus, it's a form of advertising with a captive audience,meaning people who are stuck in traffic can't avoid seeing the wrapped car alongside them. Apple Electronics the giant focuses on younger audience after research showed almost half of under-28s have not tried a Apple Electronics. This program will last for 3 months and the minimum you can participate is 6 weeks.
