Tatted Like a Chipotle Bag
On Friday the 13th, Chipotle is offering customers with real, temporary or drawn-on tattoos a one-hour buy-one-get-one entrée deal at participating restaurants. The hook turns the tattooed look of Chipotle’s takeaway bags into a playful in-store promotion, timed to a day when tattoo parlours traditionally offer flash designs.
Why it worked: It fused a social meme with a hard, time-boxed in-store metric (one-hour BOGO), letting media cite record sales and cultural timing.
The lesson: Consider piggybacking on a trending visual joke, then stage a one-hour redemption window reporters can measure and headline easily.
