Description:
Winters are cold. The high heating cost in Korea makes people feel even colder.
This campaign ran from Nov. 4 until Dec. 31, 2016 in all 189 Uniqlo stores in Korea.
A Heat Tech Window was given for free with each purchase of a Heat Tech thermal wear product. 500,000 people were given a Heat Tech Window, which was then applied to their window at home.
The campaign video reached 30 million impressions online.
As a result, Heat Tech sales recorded a year-on-year growth of 203%.
This winter, homes with the Heat Tech Window were able to save about 20% on heating overall.
The Brief:
Winters Are Cold. The High Heating Cost In Korea Makes People Feel Even Colder. So We Wondered – Just As Uniqlos Clothes Keep People Warm, Could Their Advertisement Keep Them Warm, Too? Actually Warm?
The Strategy:
Bubble Wrap, Which Is Commonly Used For Packaging, We Created An Advertisement That Is Actually Warm – The Heat Tech Window. Just By Applying The Heat Tech Window To A Window, The Room Temperature Rises By 2~3°C (3.6~5.4°F). 1) The Layer Of Air Blocks The Heat Conduction Between The Outside And Inside, Raising The Room Temperature. Applying The Heat Tech Window Saves An Average 20% On Heating. 2) Its The Solution To Reduce The Heating Cost That Is So Expensive In Korea By Means Of Affordable Bubble Wrap Normally Used For Packaging. Furthermore, The Logo Of The Heat Tech Thermal Wear Is Printed On The Heat Tech Window, Which Makes All The Windows Across Town On Which It Is Applied Into New Advertising Media For Uniqlo. 1) Air Cap Insulation Estimation, 2015 / Korea Institute Of Building Construction 2) Winter Heating Cost Saving Plan / Ministry Of Knowledge Economy
