In this concept, he put the value of an unusual system of promo events, which is characterized by low cost, and its success depends on the time, energy, and imagination of its creators, rather than on the size of the budget. Today, guerilla marketing is multifaceted, but it always has a creative approach, original execution and a low budget.
