Overview

Background

The biggest difficulty for parents driving a child is fasten the seatbelts.

Kids don't want to wear stuffy, uncomfortable seatbelts.

Parents are suffering from this.

Although the Korean government enforced a mandatory seat belt for all seats,

The rate of wearing is still insufficient.

The seat belt rate in the back of Korea is 30 percent. It ranks 32nd among OECD countries.

We decided to create a more fundamental solution that could change the behavior of these children.

Making children wear seat belts on their own.

A total of 10,000 special seatbelts were made with a budget of about 250 million KRW.

Idea

The idea started with what is more important than developing safety specifications is to nurture children's safety habits.

Existing seatbelts are designed for adults, which makes them frustrating and uncomfortable for children who are still small.

So, they decided to make a special seat belt for children to develop their safety habits in a fun and comfortable way.

Taking the idea that children like to hug dolls, they made a special seat belt, a hug belt that can hug them like a doll.

Produced through collaboration with the character of the popular Korean animation "Tayo the little bus" has given birth to fun safety belts that children like, such as the length to lean and hold their neck comfortably, the width to hold them in their arms, and safe materials that are no problem when touching the skin.

Strategy

Hugbelt was distributed to parents aged between 3 and 10 with their children.

Parents who drive their young children have more to do with their children's safety than with the design and performance of their cars.

It also requires practical and immediate solutions that children need, rather than state-of-the-art safety specifications.

By providing the most necessary safety for children and their parents, we have tried to address the safety that the car really needs to pursue.

Execution

The Hugbelt campaign launched from May 15 to June 24, 2019.

Along with the TV image advertisement, the company promoted it through online video and banners, newspapers and magazines, received applications through online sites, and distributed about 10,000 hugbelts through in addition.

As requests from customers grew, the company permanently maintained them at Hyundai Motor's online shopping mall even after the campaign period.

Outcome

The Hug belt campaign launched from May 15 to June 24, 2019.

Approximately 10,000 Hug belts were distributed through an online site after receiving applications through an online site.

Children who refused to wear seatbelts hugged and enjoyed them spread through Instagram and Facebook, and the effect of the safety belt between parents spread through word of mouth.

The increased requests from customers led to the permanent presence of the hug belts at Hyundai Motor's online product mall even after the month-long promotion period ends.
