Environmentally friendly bicycle taxi service and advertising on the move: The world’s metropolises are getting busier and busier and more crowded. Environmentally friendly and sustainable, Velotaxi reduces the city’s exhaust pollution and expands the local transport systems with a flexible and reliable means of transport. Velotaxis are excellent means of transport in the city, at events and as a shuttle, and they convince as a pleasant and effective advertising medium with unrivalled performance features.
Made in Berlin: Velotaxi is a Berlin success story In 1997 Velotaxi started with 30 bicycle taxis to implement a new public transport system in combination with an innovative advertising concept. Velotaxi was founded with the idea of sustainably increasing the quality of life in the city. The use of environmentally friendly bicycle taxis creates mobility, protects resources and creates jobs at the same time.
Velotaxi worldwide: Velotaxi is also breaking new ground with regard to the worldwide Velotaxi offer. This innovative operating concept is flexible enough to be successfully adapted to a wide range of regional conditions. Whether in New York or Tokyo, in Helsinki or Cape Town, for all the differences, some success factors are always the same: the enthusiasm of our employees and partners and the conviction to operate a worldwide, sustainable system successfully together. Today, the Velotaxi network has reached international format with more than 120 locations in 45 countries worldwide.
A good idea prevails: As unconventional and flexible as the Velotaxi appears on the road, as unusual is the business model behind it. It is not the income from the drivers’ driving operations that generates the turnover for the Velotaxi operations, but the advertising income from our branded vehicles. The self-employed drivers* run the regular service on their own account, only a small rental fee for maintenance and repair of the vehicles is charged by the Velotaxistas.
Your advertising in the city could hardly be better: high reach, in the middle of the city, with high conversion due to a very high sympathy bonus and the absolutely positive image of the green advertising medium. Book high-reach advertising on our modern city runabouts.
From Sylt to Munich, from Düsseldorf to Dresden – in 21 German locations we offer ooH advertising in seasonal Velotaxi line operation from March to October. We are available 24/7 365 days a year for promotions, shuttle services and individual campaigns.
Velotaxi places brands in the cityscape. The advertising medium Velotaxi has a very positive image: environmentally friendly, innovative, flexible, sporty… these are adjectives that pedestrians associate with Velotaxi in surveys. The ideal advertising medium for image campaigns, new product launches, product campaigns, etc.
In addition there is a driver, of course equipped with brand-related equipment, who gives information to the passenger: About the company, the products, the promotions or even about sights of the respective location.
Velotaxis can hardly be compared with conventional advertising media in the outdoor advertising market, because Velotaxis is more mobile than posters, far more emotional and attention-grabbing than buses and trains and of course present directly at the hotspots of the respective city.
Advertising on Velotaxi is characterized by above-average contact rates, daily presence in public, target group-specific contacts and flexible use in the media mix. And Velotaxi advertising also goes where other advertising media have to fit: For example in Berlin’s government district or Hamburg’s Mönckebergstraße.
From March to October, our Velotaxis are on the road 8 hours a day in regular service. They bring advertising messages exactly where the target group is.
