bold move taco bell
 
next level marketing or is taco bell losing it?

tacobell.com

Replaced the entire site for that one page lp. what's even funnier is they aren't redirecting all the old existing pages to that main splash page. wonder how much traffic is being lost right now because of that

they also deleted all of their tweets??

https://twitter.com/totallynothere
https://twitter.com/tacobell


it's creative for sure, but god damn what a risky play

I kind of agree with them. Who goes to the internet for fast food?

fetishwealth 10-29-2014 01:13 PM

The site is still there, disable JS

yeah bold move, quite a few Blackberry fans still out there, Windows Phone is growing.... not huge market shares but why piss off 7/8% of your customers.

What does the app do?

geedub 10-29-2014 02:19 PM

Looks like you can place and pay for orders on the app and they are made fresh upon arrival to your local t bell.

The bold move really is eating taco bell ...

Makes total sense as didn't they switch their beef to protein substitute or some such. Who wants their website to say that?

CurrentlySober 10-29-2014 03:03 PM

I still get the site?

Okay, we know taco bell is garbage food, but it is a corporate giant making a seriously ballsy social media move...I'm also curious to know who approved this marketing strategy and am interested to see if the end result was worth it.

:helpme

fitzmulti 10-29-2014 07:42 PM

Marketing, marketing, marketing...
No biggie about their old tweets...when this marketing deal is over, it's no problem.
The website's still up...just redirecting to that b/w splash pahe for a bit...

I've done it on a couple of my sites before (as an April Fool's Day joke, for example...}...

Marketing...

It WILL be "worth it"...or have zero negative effect...because who the hell goes to their website {Other than the OP, LOL!} for the most part, anyway...
Using an APP on the other hand...for locations, etc...this is a helluva way to promote their new app...
