Apparently this is a new advertising ploy to take advantage of programs like Google maps which locate addresses using aerial footage.I don't know what kind of good karma that Target might have earned since its inception but this just seems a little too flagrant.
I have to say if I was a terrorist I would not be able to pass this up!
or hell, you could go shopping with a helicopter...
ReplyDeleteLet's be serious! Considering a lot of the Google Maps satellite photos are over 1-2 years old, I think this is a Target store which is simply helping emergency services to locate their store and potentially doing a little branding to airline passengers (location is in a flight pattern for O'Hare) rather than "discovering" the value of rooftop ads.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong... As the usage of mobile wireless grows and more users are utilizing these maps, I think that it's an idea with legs. Now... it's just way ahead of its time!
Maybe that is what the NOLA folks should have used on the roofs to get Notice....
