After TV & Newspaper, Now Advertise on Chai Ka Cup

While the best minds of this generation are thinking about how to make people click on ads, GingerCup is brewing ideas on a paper cup. The way people consume media has changed. Paper Cup Advertising is slowly but swiftly gaining momentum on the offline marketing forefront.

Coffee cup advertising or paper cup advertising is a kind of handheld branding in offices, colleges, IT parks, cafes and roadside tea stalls. Advertising on a paper cup ensures people see, touch and hold your advertising message throughout the day in their respective environments.

The ‘brand in hand’ experience of paper cup ads makes branding and marketing communication to be delivered to people in their hands while they are working, watching an event, walking, eating or taking a flight. It brings advertisers and companies together by placing ads on a paper cup and distributing them free to companies and colleges to be used to serve beverages such as tea, coffee and water.

In the past, advertising and branding models were based on 10 to 30-second TV ads and magazine ads. Today, it is all about getting personal. A brand-in-hand initiative is an important part of your overall marketing strategy.

 

Research suggests that the average time a person holds a cup of coffee is for 37 minutes. The coffee drinker not only touches and holds the brand in their hand, but also establishes a positive perception and feeling of warmth. Savouring a simple cup of coffee can connect people and create a community.

Both the company receiving the paper cup ads as well as the advertiser benefit from paper cup advertising.

 

The benefits to the company are:

  • No wasting money for paper cups for your office
  • Conserving the environment by using paper cups over plastic cups
  • Colourful paper cups over boring white paper cups

 

The benefits to the advertiser are:

  • Via branded paper cups your marketing message is delivered in the hands of your target audience
