Measuring the outcomes of Red Bull promotions is not just about return on investment. These figures do not create the whole picture. This is because it can be difficult to value word-of-mouth promotions on paper. Sales returns do not take into account other factors such as longer-term brand loyalty.
As a specific example, the Red Bull Wings Team has proved to be a very important part of the marketing strategy. When Red Bull has launched products in countries without this programme as part of its promotional mix, they have not been received as well by consumers.
