Brief Explanation
We wanted to remove the sense of guilt people sometimes feel when buying themselves new clothes when others are in need. So, the creative solution was to launch a direct campaign that would touch all Lebanese by bringing forward the true essence of Ramadan. The selfless act of giving.
The Brief
Ramadan is a key season for fashion retailers because it’s traditional to celebrate Eid in brand new clothes. Le Mall Saida branch wanted increase footfall during the month of Ramadan.
How the final design was conceived
We wanted people to feel good about buying clothes for themselves. Therefore, every purchase was turned into a donation during the final 10 days of the month of Ramadan. We commissioned a local artist to build us the emotional visuals with receipts to signify that the purpose of the campaign - all the proceeds went to charity, provided people dropped their receipts in the Heart. For the entire 10 days, the Heart appeared in a live feed on one of Lebanon’s leading websites.
Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market
The most popular blogs picked up on the campaign. The Live feed generated the most visits to the Le Mall’s site since its launch with over 35000 impressions and 50% retention, for an online population of less than a million. The actual Mall in Saida experienced record footfall and the tens of thousands of dollars collected all went to the Children’s Cancer Center of Lebanon.
