Bubble-Wrapped Bars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

iCracked Creates an Ultra Safe Environment for Phones at the Bar

— August 15, 2015 — Lifestyle
All too often, drunkenness leads to damaged phones, so iCracked created the safest environment possible for phones at the bar.

The phone repair service created a London pop-up bar that is completely covered in bubble wrap, giving clumsy drinkers a little peace of mind. At the event, people who tweet the brand with #WrappyHour will be eligible to receive a free alcoholic drink. To further enhance phone safety, the glasses used are extra narrow, to prevent anyone from accidentally dropping their mobile into a cup.

As well as making sure its brand will be top-of-mind for UK consumers during their next phone emergency, the cheeky iCracked pop-up bar also reminds that several precautions can be taken to avoid breaking a phone in the first place.
Trend Themes
1. Bubble Wrap Protection - Creating innovative ways to protect phones from damage, such as covering bars with bubble wrap.
2. Social Media Engagement - Using social media campaigns, like #WrappyHour, to engage customers and promote brand awareness.
3. Preventive Phone Safety Measures - Introducing narrow glasses and other preventive measures to prevent accidental phone damage.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile Phone Repair Services - The industry can explore new ways to provide safe environments for phones and prevent damage, such as integrating bubble wrap protection.
2. Hospitality and Entertainment - Bars and entertainment venues can adopt creative phone safety measures, like using narrow glasses, to enhance customer experience and prevent phone damage.
3. Social Media Marketing - Brands can leverage social media campaigns, such as #WrappyHour, to engage customers and create brand awareness while offering incentives.
