Festive season advertising

Case study

When the pandemic prevented Coca-Cola from holding its annual in-person fundraiser events for Banco Alimentare, a non-profit food bank in Italy, they pivoted to an online setting. The brand worked with Amazon Ads to create a digital Christmas market on Amazon.it, which featured limited edition Coca-Cola Christmas gift boxes to benefit Banco Alimentare. The success of the campaign funded 150,000 meals for Banco Alimentare in 2020.¹

Case study

Measuring the success of your festive season marketing to inform campaign optimisation is just as important as the campaign itself. Squatty Potty, a global manufacturer and seller of stools designed to improve toilet posture, did that with Amazon Attribution. Delivery challenges during the festive season meant that they couldn’t guarantee arrival by 25 December. Not wanting to miss out on festive season sales, Squatty Potty decided to take advantage of Amazon’s guaranteed delivery. On Squatty Potty’s website, beneath the typical call to action (CTA) for shoppers to add products to their basket, they added another CTA with “Get it faster” messaging that, when clicked, directed shoppers to the relevant detail page on Amazon. Thanks to Amazon Attribution, they were able to get insight into whether the second CTAs led to shopping activity and sales on Amazon.
