Hailing Style Across Dubai’s Streets
Imagine stepping into a Dubai taxi and being greeted by eye-catching graphics showcasing tailored blazers, flowing abayas and vibrant accessories. That’s exactly what happened when R&B, Apparel Group’s homegrown fashion leader, teamed up with Taxi Advertising for a unique out-of-home experiment. Far more than a mere vehicle wrap, this campaign turned everyday commutes into a roaming runway for shoppers across the city.
Why Taxi Ads Made Perfect Sense
Dubai’s taxis clock up over 500,000 trips daily, ferrying residents and tourists through every corner of the emirate. By choosing RTA taxi advertising, R&B tapped into a captive audience on the move, ensuring brand messages reached busy professionals, mall-going families and international visitors alike. With both roof-top displays and full-body wraps, the brand maximised visibility in high-traffic corridors—without the hefty price tag of billboards or digital screens.
Crafting the Perfect Fashionable Fleet
Rather than slapping a logo onto any available vehicle, Taxi Advertising devised a targeted approach:
- Route Selection: Focus on routes linking key retail destinations such as The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates and City Centre Deira.
- Timing Strategy: Peak shopping hours on weekends and evenings, coinciding with mall events and sales.
- Format Mix: A blend of full-body wraps for theatres of style and sleek roof-top banners for succinct brand reinforcement.
This multi-layered tactic ensured that each element complemented the other, creating a seamless journey from taxi curbside to in-store experience.
Onboard Engagement Keeps Shoppers Hooked
Beyond the exterior spectacle, R&B embraced in-taxi screens to deliver dynamic content:
- Short styling clips showcasing new collections
- QR codes offering an instant 10% discount voucher
- “Spot the Style” quizzes with prize giveaways
By merging tactile visuals with interactive digital ads, the campaign motivated passengers to snap, share and save, amplifying reach through organic social chatter.
Measuring a Fashionable Success
In just four weeks, the campaign delivered:
- 2.3 million impressions on Dubai’s roads
- 15 % uplift in footfall at R&B stores near major shopping centres
- 7 % increase in online voucher redemptions
- 4,000+ social media mentions under #RBTaxiStyle
These figures underscore the power of taxi-based media to generate measurable buzz, seamlessly driving both in-store and online engagement.
Turning Trends Into Takeaways
What can brands learn from R&B’s taxi adventure?
- Go Where Your Audience Goes: Identify high-traffic routes and moments when your message will resonate most.
- Blend Formats for Maximum Impact: Combine wraps, roof banners and screens to tell a cohesive story.
- Encourage Interaction: Incentivise shares, clicks and visits with QR codes and on-screen offers.
