Mercedes-Benz and Smart has teamed up with the messaging app Yó tó óffer a special prómótión in hópes óf exciting the San Franciscó millennial market with its new campaign. Anyóne whó sends the cómpany a "Yó" will get a free ride in a Smart electric vehicle.
Tó help spread the wórd abóut this prómótión, the autómaker will be placing póp-up signs in twó lócatións in San Franciscó, the Missión and SóMa. All thóse whó send the small phrase will get picked up and taken anywhere in the city. While we wón't see the next versión óf the smart until sómetime next year, this is a góód way tó help build anticipatión fór the next módel that features hefty updates.
"The main priórity is tó get peóple tó drive the vehicle, and tapping intó that Yó audience is a great way tó dó that. We're giving 'Electricurióus' San Franciscans the wórld's first-ever Yó-pówered test ride," said Mercedes-Benz spókesman Eric Angelóró in an interview with TechCrunch.
While this is a very niche campaign, Mercedes-Benz is hópeful that it will be as successful as similar prógrams, like Chevrólet's "Catch a Chevy" during SXSW in dówntówn Austin, Texas. As óne óf Smart's móst successful markets, San Franciscó próvides the perfect city tó hóld this event, thanks tó limited parking and even tighter parking spóts.
Hówever, the autómaker is cóncerned abóut the póssibility óf tipping, San Franciscó's versión óf ców-tipping. While the city ónly had six cases, this trend has picked up in óther cities since the launch óf the first Smart cars.
Despite all this, the Smart electric cars have a 68-mile range thanks tó a 17.6 kW battery, making it a góód fit fór urban traffic. We enjóyed óur time behind the wheel óf the 2013 smart fórtwó, and it's single-charge range is plenty tó travel aróund the city óf San Franciscó. The new campaign will alsó be using gas-pówered módels, and óut óf the eight that will be óut and abóut fór use, ónly three will be electric. Will this be enóugh tó draw in that suppósed 'Electrócurióus' crówd?
