Outdoor advertising helps overcome times of crisis
Casino Lugano is centrally located directly at Lago di Lugano and is one of the top Swiss casinos. In 2020, it had to close for three months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. When it reopened, Casino Lugano took advantage of the strong impact of outdoor advertising.
A success: With a digital and analog outdoor advertising campaign "Let's play everything, but not with our health", the desired target group was informed about the reopening as well as the security measures of Casino Lugano and encouraged to visit. A humorous campaign in a playing card motif with protective masks and gloves attracted a lot of attention. The comparison with the direct, local competition (see chart below) shows: Outdoor advertising helps even in times of crisis.
The Win for Life instant ticket was launched in 2001 and has since become a successful long-seller through advertising. After three years without any advertising support, sales began to decline. Thanks to several high-impact Out of Home advertising campaigns using posters as the main medium in the largest cities of German-speaking Switzerland and in Ticino, the downward trend was halted, and sales improved considerably.
The idea: To increase awareness and sales through a wide-reaching media strategy with posters in high-footfall areas where Swisslos sales outlets are also located.
The result: A long-term rise in sales of Win for Life instant tickets of 29.8%.
