U.K.'s Blockbuster Holiday Ads Spawn Revenue Stream for Retailers


In U.K. retailer Marks & Spencer’s holiday ad, Paddington Bear saves Christmas when he inadvertently mistakes a burglar for Santa and makes him return all the gifts he has stolen.

It’s the first time Very has created products to go specifically with an ad campaign. “When we came up with the story, the wolf was written into the script,” says Andrew Roscoe, head of brand at Very owner Shop Direct. “We did some neural research on the ad, and the most memorable moments were those with the girl and the wolf. That prompted us to think about creating the wolf as a toy.”

While the aim of the merchandise was not a “massive commercial sales drive,” says Roscoe, sales of the products have surpassed expectations and its supply of plush wolves is likely to run out soon. What’s more, the products may also be driving new customers to the Very site. Roscoe adds: “I’ve seen comments on the TV ad on social media saying, ‘OMG I need one of those wolves, where can I get one?'”

Even Fido Gets Jammies This Christmas as Retailers Cash in on Trend


This year, you can outfit your entire family in pajamas — down to dogs and dolls. As retailers struggle for dollars during the crucial holiday selling season, they’re doubling down on fashion trends like holiday jammies, which have been gaining traction in recent years as a hot gifting item. Matching pajamas for men, women, kids, pets and dolls were all on display at merchandise previews for marketers including Kohl’s and Target this year.

“People are already buying them and getting ready for holiday photos,” said Michelle Gass, chief merchandising and customer officer and CEO-elect at Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin-based Kohl’s, at a media event earlier this month. Unlike other products that are gender and age specific, family pajamas, usually discounted for the gifting season and offered in a variety of prints that range across all holidays, are more marketable.

Macy’s, which has seen sales declines in recent years and recently debuted a new loyalty program designed to build beyond existing relationships with consumers, has 15 versions of family pajamas available on its website. Most are exclusives for the beleaguered department store chain.
