Winter Wonderlabs

Interactivity seems to be a top priority for many people today. For us the issue is developing an amazing interactive multimedia presentations for the semester. At the same time companies are hunting for ways to be interactive and promote products.
Google is a top tech company and for this holiday season they have created a new marketing experience. Winter Wonderlabs are popping up across the United States as a place for consumers to play with the newest Google gadgets in one place. Currently there are Winter Wonderlabs located in New York City, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Jersey, and Sacramento.

Inside the Winter Wonderlabs consumers can enjoy such products as the Nexus 7, Chromebook, Google Chromecast, and Google Play. This is meant to be a totally involved setting and to give it extra value Google added such features as virtual snow and  the snow globe experience. These bonus features are a great way to show the companies use of technology and entice people to come in and explore.

I think that this is a great idea. Google is a well known company and this is a way for them to stay on the minds of shoppers this holiday season. There are tons of people who love the holidays and I am certainly included in that category. If I was to see one of these labs there would be no stopping me from looking inside. It's creative ideas like this that give companies a competitive edge. Plus going the extra mile like this provides great publicity and shows that Google cares what consumers think about the products.

Check out a brief video about this on Mashable!

  2. I love this! It's really showing that Google knows how to target it's consumers. With the holiday season coming up, what better way to shop than in the 'snow?' I would totally love to see one of these Winter Wonderlabs in person. It will be interesting to see what other companies, such as Microsoft, come up with to promote their products.
