The Featured Holiday Ads
Class/Course: Kid's Martial Arts
Here's the thing… kids don't want socks or underwear for the holidays. What they really want is an outlet for their wild, crazy energy that doesn't involve bouncing off the walls of the house… (and parents LOVE that kind of outlet, too). We tried to capture that excitement in a short, to-the-point ad for the best kiddo Christmas gift out there.
DIY Baking Kit: Cake Pops
Cake Pops but make it SPOOKY! 👻 This client asked us to make a Halloween focused ad, but we saw an opportunity to seal the deal with potential customers by reminding them the kit can be used for every holiday, all year long! Endless opportunities for creativity — and sales. 😎
eCommerce: Hair Removal Device
🎶 Have a holly, hair-free Christmas...it's the best you'll feel all year! 🎶 OK, that might not be how the song goes…but we know that with the new year approaching, lots of people are putting "laser hair removal" on their resolution list. The problem? It's EXPENSIVE. This client wanted to drive home the idea of a hair-free holiday from a first-person perspective — but ensure potential buyers wouldn't have to break the bank.
Sparkle & Romance Sells
eCommerce: Jewelry
New year, new… fiancé? This client asked for a Christmas and New Year focused ad set for those thinking of gifting fine jewelry or proposing over the holiday season. A little bit of romance, a little bit of sparkle… And WA-LA, the perfect short Facebook ads!
When Boring Becomes Gold
eCommerce: Socks
Once you turn 30, it's like all the things you DIDN'T want as a kid are exactly what you're NOW hoping for under the tree. (Yes, we mean socks and underwear!) The client request was for a short and snappy ad set focused on both the SOX and the BOX — making Wazi Socks the easiest gift this year.
Email Sequence: Mattress
The holidays are chaos and it seems like go-go-go is the name of the game. Why not use that to sell more mattresses? This email targets both the reader as a customer and as a gift-giver — showcasing a week of sales to take care of the family members who need it most.
