The ambition for the 2021 Christmas campaign was to also establish a similar mental link to Christmas, to ultimately become the leading retailer during the whole holiday period.<br><br>The goal was to be in the top three brands that are associated with Christmas. A hefty challenge. In 2020 the list was dominated by strong &#8216;Christmas brands&#8217; Albert Heijn (16%), Coca-Cola (15%) and Jumbo (7%), with bol.com closing the ranks with the 9th position (2%).<br><br>The December holidays are a hectic period. For our audience, but also in the media landscape. Big brands (like Albert Heijn, Jumbo Plus, Lidl, Aldi, along with Amazon\u2019s increasing presence) are heavily competing for the attention of the audience, trying to win the battle of mental availability with grand storytelling and big media budgets.<br><br>So when it comes to breaking through the clutter, bol.com has to be smart about it, because it can\u2019t compete with the budgets of the biggest food-retailers.<br>So what do we have, what our Christmas competitors lack? And how can we put that to good use? Those were the questions we asked ourselves, when we set out to create 2021\u2019s campaign.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div

Already in October and November people start prepping decorations and gifts. But we also know there\u2019s an unwritten rule in the Netherlands that you have to wait with all the Christmas fun until Sinterklaas has officially left the country. On the 6th of December.<br><br>Instead of seeing Sinterklaas\u2019 presence until the 6th as a barrier, we saw the insight as an opportunity for our campaign and used it to our advantage. The 6th of December became the official bol.com switch day. The day many have been waiting for. Sinterklaas out, Christmas in. Dag Sinterklaasje, Hello Christmas!<br><br>Our Sinterklaas also became our Christmas property.

celebrating Christmas in all its glory. We sent off our own Sinterklaas in the Christmas film. The first time Sinterklaas actually starred in a Christmas campaign.<br><br>The TVC has all the iconic Sinterklaas ingredients: his steamboat, the song \u2018Bye Sinterklaas\u2019 (Dag Sinterklaasje) and of course Mr. Holiness himself. This magical setting transitions into people getting excited for Christmas. After Sinterklaas has only just left the harbour and is barely out of sight, our bespoke \u2018Hello Christmas song\u2019 starts, giving the commercial an instant Christmas feel. Bol.com\u2019s tongue-in-cheek humour really shines when Sinterklaas comes back to look for his lost scepter, enters the Christmas scene and is awkwardly convinced to put on Santa\u2019s Christmas hat.\u00a0<br><br>The same construct is used in radio and online, where we make the transition from Sinterklaas to Christmas both in audio and visually.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div

The results didn\u2019t disappoint.<br><br>In 2020 bol.com was closing the ranks on the 9th spot with 2%. After the campaign in 2021 bol.com dominated the list with 12%, leaving the strong Christmas brands Albert Heijn (10%), Coca-Cola (10%) and Jumbo (5%) behind (Memo2, campaign tracker). What makes it even more of an achievement is the fact that the two supermarkets had an average of x1.5 more GRPs, compared to bol.com.\u00a0<br><br>Our remarkable film had everything to do with breaking through the clutter, it scored 64% on spontaneous brand linkage, 41% above the Memo2 benchmark.\u00a0\u00a0<br><br>Claiming the holiday period with one guy.
