COMMON QUESTIONS

Advertising in Chicago.

Can we reach the crowds at a McCormick Place show?

Yes. A swarm brings your wrapped cars into the zone you choose, around the convention center, its hotels or the airports, for the hours you set during the show.

How far ahead should we plan?

Wraps need time to recruit drivers and install before day one, so plan a wrap flight several weeks out — earlier for a big event. Vugo confirms the lead time for your dates when you plan.

How is a campaign here priced?

Wraps and Tiles are priced per car for the flight, with production and installation quoted with it; screens per thousand validated impressions where they run. Every campaign is quoted for its market and dates.
