New Year’s Eve

Resolution Wishlist Activation

Region:
Industry:
Retail
Dec 2025

Campaign Concept

Theme: “New Year, New Wishlist”
Hook: Step into 2026 with intention. Your wishlist is full of goals, upgrades, and dreams — now’s the time to make them real.

How it Works:

  • Merchants tag resolution-oriented products (e.g., fitness, journaling, productivity, wellness).

  • Shoppers are nudged to revisit and refine their wishlist for the new year.

  • Personalized nudges and surprise offers encourage them to check out before Jan 1.

Optionally: Encourage social sharing of “my resolution wishlist” for UGC and contest entries.

Industries Best Suited For

Fitness & Wellness

Yoga mats, smart watches, gym gear, and wellness subscriptions are top resolution categories. Wishlist nudges feel supportive and timely for shoppers prioritizing health

Stationery & Productivity

Planners, notebooks, goal trackers, and office upgrades are popular among organized shoppers. Many already wishlist them in December — now’s the moment to convert.

Skincare & Self-Care

Routines reset in January, and so do skincare goals. Wishlisted regimens, tools, and bundles become high-intent targets in a resolution campaign.

Fashion & Footwear

“New Year, new me” often means a wardrobe refresh. Wishlist discounts on key apparel picks give customers the nudge they need to start the year in style.

Why This Campaign Could Work

New Year’s Motivation Hook

As the year wraps up, shoppers begin thinking about their goals, upgrades, and aspirations for the year ahead. A wishlist activation campaign aligned with New Year’s resolutions helps them visualize — and act on — the things they want to achieve.

Intent-Led Re-engagement

Wishlists often include items shoppers plan to buy “later” — fitness gear, planners, skincare routines, or tools for a new hobby. Giving these items a motivational nudge during resolution season converts passive intent into action.

Guilt-Free Spend Justification

Right after the holidays, shoppers look for permission to invest in themselves again. A wishlist-based campaign provides a low-friction way to convert while still feeling goal-oriented and purposeful.

Merchandising Flexibility

This campaign can spotlight a wide range of SKUs — from wellness and self-improvement to fashion and decor — framed through the lens of progress and renewal.
