In 2013 there were 8 milion cars in the Netherlands, on only 41526 km². That means a lot of cars in this little country. When living here, and going outside you will probably come a cross some cars. Especially in big cities there are cars all around, you have to watch out not to get hit by one! We from CarSticker saw this as an opportunity. Use these cars as outlets for advertisement, easy and quick, with car stickers. We see this happening in commercial sectors already. Like this cab in London.
For small companies and enterprises this way of advertising is easy, quick and not very costly. The company designs its sticker, fills in a form with its requirements for the Sticker ‘wearers’. The number of individual drivers in the database who actually meet their specific requirements will constantly be uploaded and displayed. This number is a good indicator for the enterprise to evaluate the potential number of future respondents. The car owners are not required to accept the Sticker, they can decide for themselves if they accept it or not. CarSticker will first check if the stickers are not offensive in any way. But after that the car owner can decide if they want to drive around with a certain sticker. After a week this information gets back to the enterprise and they can adjust their requirements if there are not enough carowners that accept their sticker. If however, there are too many carowners that accepted the Sticker there will be made use of a reverse auction. It starts at 50 euro and carowners can lower their price to ‘win this reverse auction’, and be selected to put the stickers on their car.
