Marketing to Runners
Went for a stroll down to the mailbox this afternoon. Lo and behold was the December issue of my trusty "Runners World" along with the requisite collection of bills and flyers of course. As I carried away the magazine I wondered what the heck was inside making it so fat. To my surprise there was a thick glossy 16 page (multi fold) insert promoting the new '07 sedan glued into the centre. One of the more extensive and well done ones I've seen in my 20+ years in advertising. There was even a business reply mail envelope perforated on the insert.
Hmmm- marketing a performance sport sedan to people interested in performance at their own sport. Works for me.

It isn't worth a sticky, but it would be interesting to get reports on what different magazines Nissаn uses to advertise the new G35. It would indicate who Nissаn thinks their potential customers are. The runner demographic is, no doubt, younger, active and upscale, and thus prime G35 customers. With today's pinpoint marketing, for a given magazine whether you get a G35 ad (or insert) might also depend upon your address.

I am 30, a runner(19:16 5K with an 80+ lb double Jogging stroller), I own an 05 G, and will own an 07 G someday. They don’t need to advertise to me. They already have me hooked. I do see an awful lot of G35s at the races now though. However, those are almost always coupes. Now if they could just find away to get the double jogger in the G without ruining the cars lines then I would upgrade today!

I need lots, and lots, and lots of work before I would ever qualify for that treatment
