Wazzup Pilipinas!

Easy Taxi, the number one taxi hailing app in the world, formally announced it partnership with four great brands at a special launch held at Eastwood Open Park last October 30, 2014. The night unveiled the four product cars from the partner brands namely Belo Medical Group, WeChat Philippines, Smart Communications and Sun Cellular, each with a distinctive offering for its passengers from freebies to free Wi-Fi in every vehicle. A short presentation, interview and ribbon-cutting ceremony was held, with a sky full of fireworks to cap off the evening.  The promo aims to give Filipinos a unique, fast, and safe riding experience with the launch of the Easy Taxi Product Cars.

The taxi app company has been sharing teasers in their Facebook page showing images representing the four brands, and some bloggers and online media have been sharing teaser articles to further announce to the public the upcoming launch with a hashtag #Oct302014 claiming October 30, 2014 as Easy Taxi day.

At the launch, we found out that there will soon be customized Easy Taxi cabs bearing the images of the four brands coupled with some promotional gimmicks to further attract customers to use the Easy Taxi app in booking their taxi cab rides. The pimped taxi cabs will be a great treat to the passengers as they get the chance to bring home some freebies.

Get a chance to have your Easy Taxi ride for free, anywhere within Metro Manila and for one destination only, plus other amazing prizes and perks, when you book using the Easy Taxi app. Easy Taxi Product Cars will be roving around the streets of Manila, giving free rides to Easy Taxi users while offering a one-of-a-kind in-cab experience.

As the world’s biggest taxi booking application to date, EASY TAXI allows passengers to easily request for a taxi and track it in real time- all in just one click. Founded in Brazil last 2011, the startup has since expanded globally as it is made available in 4 continents, 34 countries, and in more than 170cities. Serving over 15 million users worldwide, with as much as 300 thousand drivers registered, Easy Taxi continues to grow globally at rate of three cities per month. Backed primarily by the largest e-Commerce incubator in the world, Rocket Internet, including other investors such as Millicon and iMENA, Easy Taxi is able to secure its foothold in emerging markets that it seeks to cater to.

These promotional gimmicks are obviously marketing strategies to further boost interests with the Easy Taxi booking app. Since they are in tight competition with other similar service providers, it is but proper to think of ways on how to elevate themselves from the other brand. Will they succeed? We will soon find out when we get the feedback results from the customers availing their services. In this regard, what would the other competing brands think of next to match or maybe go above and beyond these promotional offers? Something tells me the future of the taxi booking app business will be a lot more exciting so I better hang on and stay tune for updates.
