Even Tacos needed insurance! #finsights by #TBCDitto

One of the largest fast- food chains- Taco Bell, curated a marketing strategy to utilize the publicity and capitalize out of a major space event in 2001.

Mir spacecraft reached its peak and maximum life, only to then plunge into Earth’s atmosphere. They claimed that the debris would fall into the Pacific Ocean. This event was naturally heavily publicized and Taco Bell decided to come up with a bizarre yet genius marketing strategy. 

They took a 40x 40 ft of a red bulls eye and spread it up in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and promised a free taco to every American citizen if any part of the spaceship landed on the bell! 

As brilliant as this move is, what if a part of the spaceship indeed hit the bell? 

The costs of feeding the entire population would be a staggering number of 10 million dollars! They protected the downside in the wake of uncontrollable circumstances by buying insurance.

Funny enough, the spaceship never even landed near the target but Taco Bell offered their customers a consolation offer of 2 Tacos for 99 cents plus a whole lot of free marketing!
