Phone units are showcased in the reception areas and VIP rooms of the salons, and customers can play with samples during their hair and beauty treatments.
“[This campaign] differs from conventional retail experiences where customers try out new models over the counter while sales staff are sometimes pushy. MEC chose these high-end salons as their customers tend to be well-off trend followers who are more willing to spend money on the latest gadgets,” said Maggie Kan, account manager for Hotmedia.
A separate print and OOH campaign - on the street and MTR - was created by McCann Erickson Guangming with media partner MEC.
