Rationale behind Guerrilla Marketing:

      Guerrilla marketing is predominantly dependent on creativity. Guerrilla marketing involves methods similar to those used in guerrilla warfare, such as raids, ambushes, and elements of surprise (but from a marketing standpoint!).

   The goal of such a plan is to surprise the customer, leave a lasting impression, and generate a lot of talk on social media. In comparison to traditional marketing and advertising, the goal is to leave a lasting impact on customers. Consumers are beginning to tune out traditional forms of advertising such as television and radio commercials, as well as pop-ups. Consumers, for example, usually ignore adverts that appear before a YouTube video. This is where guerrilla marketing differs from traditional marketing methods in that it uses the element of surprise to attract the attention of consumers.
