Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

● Flow of the ""Xtreme Delivery"" implementation 1. We set up wireless phone booths in approx. 100popular outdoor sports sites across Japan for people to place their pizza orders. 2. As soon as an order was placed, pizzas were prepared at the nearest kitchen facility. 3. X-TRAIL with the Xtreme delivery crew go off to deliver pizzas to the requested location. 4. The entire delivery story was captured on film. 5. The news spread on TV and online media. 6. Those who heard about the news rushed to the most remote areas to try the pizza delivery service for themselves. ● Why was it relevant to Nissan X-TRAIL Functionality unique to X-TRAIL is at the core of the idea. It was implemented in the form of a live demonstration without the use of any traditional media.
