Christmas is around the corner and it is a time when there is shine not only in children’s eyes, but there are shining also TV screens more often than in ordinary days.
Christmas period traditionally breaks viewing records. The Christmas Eve fairy tales are often the most watched programme of the year.
The Christmas programming on domestic TV stations’ screens reached more than 8 million viewers over the age of 4 on Christmas Eve last year, with more than half of viewers in the 4+ target group sitting in front of the TV screen in the evening after 8pm.
Watching TV together still plays a very important role in Christmas, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. It’s a time when TV commercials, more than ever, teem with images of family comfort and play on the strings of nostalgia, kindness and goodness. In fact, Christmas advertising campaigns pay off for brands. They help to achieve the desired sales targets and bring the year to a successful close.
You could even say that Christmas advertising campaigns are an advertising genre in their own right. Why are Christmas-themed ads popular with both advertisers or viewers, and which ones have become global icons? What do consumers expect from Christmas this year, what emotional tuning do they prefer ? And why are emotions important in advertising ? How to work with the emotional line to make an ad stand out from the crowd ?
