Here's an interesting twist, in order to sell travel, they sold beans. Strategic agency The Hallway teamed up with creative agency Happy Soldiers to promote Zuji travel site. The main positioning for Zuji is "a company that is ‘Helping holidays happen’" so they set out to prove it, by way of cheap beans.
Logic is, that by saving money on everyday items, you can save up some dosh for a getaway trip somewhere fun. To kickoff the campaign, Hallway/Happy Soldiers created "Zuji baked beans" and sold them for just 10c a can. They even opened a few Zuji Bean Shops in Australia’s major cities and set up Zuji Beans stalls all around the country, selling nothing but cheap Zuji Beans. There was also print, outdoor, radio, DM and online ads to let people know about the beans = save for travels connection.

Simply brilliant!
Most people do not realize the risk they are taking when they travel without taking out a travel insurance policy before they start their trip. This is a dodgy thing to do, and the excuses given by those who are guilty of travelling uncovered are many. One never knows when a medical emergency will spring up, and there is always the chance for a vehicular accident as well as lost or stolen luggage and trip cancellation or delays. It is true that you might not need travel insurance, but what if you did? Wouldn’t it make you feel a lot less stressed out to know you have insurance coverage that is protecting you while you travel? Travel insurance is widely affordable when purchased online, so choose your policy in advance of your next trip.
