Salvos Stores' new Christmas campaign via The General Store and animation production partners Unlisted and WIZZ, sees Santa go sustainable, shutting down his toy factory to buy pre-loved gifts from Salvos Stores.

With spare time on their hands, Santa’s elves find new purpose doing the work of The Salvation Army in the community.

The campaign aims to create awareness of the work of Salvos Stores and asks people to consider giving a second hand gift purchased from one of their 350 store locations or online, a gift that will ultimately keep giving to those in need by funding the initiatives of The Salvation Army.

The Christmas campaign also launches a new brand identity for Salvos Stores nationally and will launch across CUTV, cinema, digital, social and in-store and will be supported by online video sessions with Salvos Santa himself for customers who visit in-store or online.
