The bodega kitty is a familiar place to some New York City resident. Currently, Instacart has created its own form of the feline buddy for grocery delivery customers.
Instacat (yes, Insta-cat) is a brand new browser extension for Google Chrome launch June 21 that allows desktop users view a cartoon cat leap around while they store on Instacart. Instacart expects the lively expansion, created with bureau MSCHF, provides Instacart an advantage over other grocery store and food delivery services.
Instacart’s brand new Instacat
The business is buying advertisements featuring Instacat on societal in hopes of bringing more visitors to the agency. For the time being, Instacat is intended for a temporary encounter.
“Right now, the strategy is that we’ll push the effort for approximately a few weeks, then we will have a study to see just how things are moving, just how much of an effect we are watching,” McIntyre said.
The expansion is reminiscent of Instacart’s historical growth, which has been driven by word of mouth as opposed to a huge investment in advertisements. Instacart acquired a formal advertising team when McIntyre combined in April of this past year, and today, the vast majority of Instacart’s advertising dollars have been spent on Facebook, Google and programmatic.
The firm’s customer research features it to word of mouth in addition to signage in its associate stores such as Costco and Safeway.
