7-11 Alters Reality To Push Product
Here's a disturbing new trend: 7-11 is bringing fake elements into the real world to advertise products. For the next few months or so, several 7-11s are now...well, take a look:

There is a Kwikee Mart in town, converted from a 7-11. Not part of this promotion but definitely odd.

I was at 7-11 earlier today and they had six packs of Buzz Cola and I saw one dude walk out with a Squishee. I think it's neat.

Um, I take it this is a marketing gimmick done in conjunction with the upcoming premier of the simpsons movie?
One things for sure, I don't want to look like a simpsons character... unless its Snake

It isn't just the outside, they've done everything. It's really, really well thought out IMO.
They even have a freezer geezer:

How awesome is that‽ This is going to make 7-11 sales skyrocket.

But wait...Going to Kwik-E-Mart on 7/11 just doesn't have the same resonance!

Re: 7-11 Alters Reality To Push Product
I find it hard to believe this will benefit anyone. Will 7-11 get enough sales to pay for all the renovations? I dont see the need to advertise to this magnitude when everyone already knows who the Simpsons are and most know they are making a movie.
Im sure the movie will be terrible anyways as the Simpsons hasnt been very funny in years.

I find it very well done overall, but the stand up character models are just plain annoying.

Re: 7-11 Alters Reality To Push Product
You're assuming 7-11 is footing the bill for all the renovations. I'd imagine Fox is taking the biggest chunk for movie promotion and 7-11 is just covering setup.mrandyk wrote:I find it hard to believe this will benefit anyone. Will 7-11 get enough sales to pay for all the renovations?
