communicating the advertisers’ messages through the electronic billboards which

Literally,
placemat advertisements are ads displayed on a placemat. Since Ilonggos love to
dine and most of the tourists go here to taste the finest food that Iloilo has
to offer, Garcia thought of something different that will hit two birds with
one stone – provide businessmen a new platform for advertisement that will give
them the best deal while promoting the best restaurants of Iloilo as he ties up
with food establishments here where he places the placemats.
Printed
in colored, stylish and entertaining pages, placemat advertisements easily
attracts the audiences’ attention and directly targets the market as every
person who eats in its partner food establishments get to see the
advertisements printed on the placemat. Therefore, the percentage of being
noticed which is the main purpose of advertising, is very high.
At
present, the placemats that Blue Kite Advertising is producing are being used
in two of the most famous food havens in Iloilo – Desserts in the Sky and Ted’s
Old Timer La Paz Batchoy (Diversion Road branch). The company is also looking
to have partnerships with other restaurants in Iloilo City with the growing
number of its clienteles.
Since
it started its operations on February, Blue Kite Advertising has been receiving
positive feedbacks from its clients as placemat advertisement helped them boost
their sales and profit.
Bearing
the tagline, “Letting them Know you”, Blue Kite Advertising believes to the
power of placemat advertisement in terms of giving their clients the maximum
exposure in a price that will not hurt their pockets.
