Overview

Description

We replaced the car sales agents at our stand in a mall with real people who survived a major car accident, thanks to a Volvo. During the activation, the VOLVO SURVIVOR SALES AGENTS were able to share their personal crash stories first-hand with potential customers. People not only had the chance to experience Volvo safety features in an impactful way, but also close the deal directly with the help of the survivors. In the end, we made people think about the most important thing about a car: safety.

Execution

We reached out to real people who survived major car accidents while driving a Volvo, and then we invited them to participate as our car sales agents during a one-day event. It all took place at the Pembroke Lake Shopping Mall in Miami, where the Volvo Survivor Sales Agents had the chance to share their impactful stories with potential customers. Throughout the event, over 400 people interacted with our stand, many of them learning first hand from our survivors how the Volvo safety features saved their lives.

Outcome

With this activation people had the opportunity to hear real testimonies instead of just talking with a typical car salesman. We had 60% more visits than what we usually get at our car stands in a mall. During the weekend of the event, 3 out of 10 visitors decided to do a test drive and most of them ended up at the dealership to get a Volvo. In the end, we made people think about the most important thing about a car: safety.
