The Picture of New Marketing — Redbox
Netflix. Amazon Instant Video. Blockbuster @Home. The Apple iTunes Store. On demand from Verizon, Xfinity, Comcast or another cable TV provider….
I don’t know where you rent your movies, but my wife, Barbara, and I are huge fans of Redbox. We love both the convenience and affordability (only $1.20 per day) of renting movies via the big, bright, candy apple red kiosks, of which there are two in Sudbury (MA), the town in which we live, at the Shaw’s and Sudbury Farms supermarkets.
Redbox. Brilliant business model. Great branding. And, if you ask me, the picture of new marketing.
So…where do you rent your movies? And why? Please don’t hesitate to join the conversation by leaving a comment below. Thanks.

The biggest issue I always have is not where to get my movies, but deciding what movies I want to get.
Redbox is an interesting take on the movie rental idea.

I get mine at the library for free!

I'm with Esme on that one. The library has a great variety. If you get a CMARS library card you can request movies from other libraries. The library may not always have the latest flick straight from the theaters, but you can get interesting movies that you may never see otherwise. My daughter brought home a 1931 film with Clark Gable and Joan Crawford in it that she requested from the Worcester Public library. It was a neat movie which gave us an interesting perspective on societal norms in the 1930s.
