The Cabrio Taxi Difference

Cabrio Taxi Pedicab Operators lease our pedicabs daily to conduct their normal operations throughout the City of San Francisco.  Their earnings can highly vary depending on the events of the day -- like Giants Games, Pride Parade, and Fleet Week -- and the weekly ebb and flow of traffic in our major operating areas.  During branded outdoor marketing services, we pay our operators a premium on their opportunity cost to ensure both that your branded service is their top priority and that they are thrilled to be a part of it.  Acknowledging our operator's economics allows us to retain the World's Best Pedicab Operators, who hone their craft daily, and to make sure their top-tier professionalism is fully employed for your branded outdoor marketing service.

Branded San Francisco Pedicab Marketing Sponsorships

Event producers and conference organizers are always looking for new revenue generating opportunities to ensure their events continue to grow and prosper. Sponsorship platforms are part of every special event because they help drive revenue growth, while providing corporate partners with tremendous value through access to your audiences and the targeted demographics that they represent (e.g. sports fans, music lovers, exercise enthusiasts, conference attendees, etc.). Transportation at large during special events in San Francisco is always a challenge for event producers and a source of frustration for those attending the events.

Combining transportation with outdoor marketing in San Francisco is a no-brainer. Many events have done this in the form of shuttle bus sponsorships, free car rides, etc. However; many people choose to take public transportation, walk or bicycle to special events in San Francisco, and thus do not benefit from these services nor see the messages they carry. On top of that, it is often the last mile that is most frustrating at crowded events.

Pedicabs are uniquely equipped to help in move people through those last steps, while generating unforgettable memories and smiles. We call this part of our service the “last mile with a smile.” One client referred to us a “Smile Factory!” Associating a brand with this experience is a powerful way to ensure the brand’s message is remembered, while strengthening the brand’s relationship with their customers. Sponsorship packages can consist of Free Ride Campaigns for the biggest impact or Mobile Outdoor Advertising. Both platforms offer sponsors an opportunity to get their brand in front of your audience, while generating additional revenue for your event. 

And don't worry: we have refined materials to help you pitch your sponsors!  Though usually a ride is all it takes.

Experiential "Free Ride" Campaigns

For companies that want their outdoor advertising dollars to generate lasting relationships with their customers, we offer "Free Ride Campaigns." Free ride campaigns are the ultimate experiential outdoor marketing platform because they get noticed and develop customer gratitude that translates into brand loyalty. During free ride campaigns, Cabrio Taxi’s drivers serve as brand ambassadors, delivering your message verbally, through collateral materials, via social media, or even distributing product samples. Complimentary rides on pedicabs turned into mobile billboards act as outdoor advertising in the ultimate experiential marketing platform for delivering your brand’s message in San Francisco and the best way to say “Thank you” to your customers. Even those that don’t take a free ride will associate your brand with this generosity. 

We don’t just make ad impressions, we make connections. Our Bay Area Pedicabs are an experiential outdoor marketing platform that allows our clients to make more than mere impressions. Our platform provides an opportunity to deliver a brand message directly to potential customers, while associating that brand with a fun and memorable experience.
