TARGETED GIFT

“SEND TARGETED ADS DIRECTLY TO BOYFRIENDS

TO INDIRECTLY HINT VALENTINE’S GIFT!”

Insight:

February, the unofficial month of love, is one of the most profitable seasons for the E-Commerce industry as it is a month where couples buy Valentine’s Day gifts for each other. But as marketing research indicates, girlfriends are not always transparent with the actual gift they want and men often end up buying the wrong Valentine’s Day gifts.

Background:

JD CENTRAL, a leading e-Commerce brand in Thailand, saw an opportunity this past Valentine’s Day to increase sales by encouraging boyfriends to buy the right gifts for their girlfriends this year.

Idea:

Targeted Gift, the whole new online shopping platform which used a Facebook algorithm and data to target consumers, creating automated ads that show exactly what girlfriends wanted directly to their boyfriends this Valentine’s Day.

How it works:

The campaign kicked off with female-targeted ads in order to recruit girlfriends to choose their ideal gifts. The ad redirects users to a custom built chatbot that helps create ads specifically for their boyfriends by entering specific data such as boyfriends’ number and couple’s secret nicknames to give more hint, boyfriends are then targeted with click-to-buy ads that allow them to buy the right gift for girlfriends on the spot.
