Knowing that the 2020 holiday shopping season looked different than most, it was important to remain conscientious and sensitive to people’s financial situations. This year, we wanted to focus less on the "stock up" messaging, and more on thoughtful and clear messaging about the products in the sale.

With the need to be understanding of people’s differing situations, I proposed the concept of Window Shopping. Even the name itself is meant to imply a friendly environment where one can browse, but not necessarily be pressured to buy. Instead, I highlighted our products by literally putting them in the Kobo Frame (or “window”) as a means to display quality over quantity. There was still sales messaging, knowing that people are still looking for deals, (especially when budgets are a little tighter) but it was subtler than we had done in years previous.

Overall the Black Friday 2020 campaign performed exceedingly well. Audiobook sales were up 609%, eGifting saw a 95% lift, email revenue increased by 38% and Device sales had a 339% increase in revenue. Due to the success of the 2020 campaign, Black Friday 2021 also leveraged the Window Shopping concept.
