What is event marketing? There is a cafe on a high floor, the window of the cafe is facing a car park, through the glass of the cafe you can see one of the parking spaces in the car park.
The owner of the cafe offers a game where, for example, a certain coffee costs $40 and the cafe offers consumers two options: buy a cup of coffee for the original price and pay an extra $20 to participate in a "guess the color of the car" competition, where they can guess the color of the next car parked in the space. If the answer is correct, the 20 RMB will be redeemed for a cup of coffee; if the answer is incorrect, the 20 RMB will be accumulated for the next purchase.
In fact, there is nothing to lose for the consumer once the game has started, even if the answer is incorrect it can be accumulated for a credit, and the game itself is so much fun that there are many participants, adding to the cafe's "repeat business".
Tailoring the game to the color of the vehicle is also somewhat of a random event, but the aim is to increase repeat business. It's a sure-fire deal for the business, as customers who guess correctly will spontaneously share the fun activity with their friends and bring more people to experience it. If they guess wrong, they get a "rechargeable membership card" at the cafe, increasing repeat business and bringing in repeat customers. Although this is similar to the "lucky wheel" activities that some restaurants are doing, it is clear that this kind of novel random event is more likely to stimulate consumers' interest in participating.
