Campaign Concept

For International Chess Day, shoppers make their next move on a wishlist of products that are strategically discounted for a limited time. The longer they wait, the lower the price goes (similar to a chess game’s tension). This creates an environment where shoppers need to act quickly to "strike" when the price is right.

Theme: “Every Wishlist is a Power Move”
Hook: Your next move could be your best one — strike when the price drops!

Industries Best Suited For

Fashion & Apparel:

Create excitement around trendy or limited-edition items. Shoppers will feel like they’re in a high-stakes game, where the reward is a stylish outfit at a killer price.

Tech & Gadgets:

Ideal for tech products like headphones, watches, or smart home devices, where price fluctuations can make a product seem like an exclusive win.

Home & Decor:

Home essentials or decor pieces can be framed as "strategic moves" for a beautiful home — acting fast unlocks an unbeatable deal.

Toys & Games:

Perfect for fun, strategic campaigns involving board games, gaming consoles, or even puzzles, creating a playful experience for shoppers.

Why This Campaign Could Work

Strategic Shopping:

The chess analogy taps into the concept of strategy, making shoppers feel like their choices are deliberate and tactical. The price drop creates urgency, like making the right move at the right time.

Time-Sensitive Engagement:

A limited-time price drop generates excitement and urgency, encouraging quick decision-making and increasing conversion rates.

Wishlist + Price Drop Combo:

Combining wishlisting with a price drop ensures customers engage with the platform, adding products to their lists while also creating a sense of accomplishment when they take advantage of the drop.

Psychology of Scarcity:

The temporary nature of the price drop mimics a sale, but with an added layer of exclusivity, making it more enticing.

Easy to Implement:
