Red Tails Movie Unveils Flight Simulator, Thanks to Lebanon, MO Company

Nov. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- It’s not often that big film production companies seek out small businesses to promote their movies, but George Lucas doesn’t run just any company. Lucasfilm Ltd.’s latest epic movie, Red Tails, will hit theaters on January 20th, 2012, and the buzz has already begun. The first trailer for the film was released in July 2011 and the next big “trailer” premiered October 13th.

Lucasfilm, in cooperation with C & R Entertainment, unveiled the Red Tails Flight Simulator at New York Comic Con on October 13th in New York City. The simulator has since been on a U.S. tour, bringing the simulator to air show spectators. Riders of the mobile flight simulator will feel like they are actually flying a P 51 Mustang in a dogfight during World War II. The simulator features a two minute segment of the film, and riders feel as though they are actually in the movie. The ride is complete with explosive action and 360 degree barrel rolls. After Comic Con, the Red Tails Flight Simulator embarked on a four week tour, bringing the experience to air shows in the United States.

And it all started with a simple search on Google.

“I googled flight simulators and Mustang together,” said Mary Franklin, Senior Events Lead at Lucasfilm, who found C & R Entertainment’s website, AirShowRides.com.
With just a few key strokes, the relationship between Lucasfilm and C & R Entertainment began.

“Most people know how to use the internet. The challenge is using it to their advantage,” says Sarah Henery, owner of Whole9Online.com, the Lebanon, MO based web design and internet marketing firm that handles marketing for C & R Entertainment.

“Not only is it important to have a well-functioning website, but also to ensure that your website can be found by your target market. It takes a lot of time, effort, knowledge, and skill to get a website performing at the top of search results. Companies like ours really are the future of marketing for small businesses,” says Henery. “If not for their website and the time we have put in to Search Engine Optimization, C & R Entertainment would have missed out on this amazing opportunity.”

Today, over 70% of customers search for business information online before visiting a store or even making a phone call. Having an internet presence has become a necessity, and small businesses must increasingly focus on their online marketing strategies.

“You never know who is out there searching for the products or services that you offer,” says Henery.
