Notes: Mission:
During the Chinese New Year, Taiwanese people have a tradition of ringing out the old to welcome new things around the house.
E-Life Home Appliance Mall, a local home appliance mall in Taiwan, wants to encourage customers to purchase new home appliance products to replace their old ones. A key opportunity lay in elderlies who had older home appliance products. But the elderly in Taiwan are known for their frugality. They will only consider purchasing new products if the old ones have been deemed unfixable. It would be impossible to persuade them to spend on themselves.
How do we tackle this marketing challenge?
Idea:
E-Life Mall wants to be a brand that explores family relationships. The film encourages the younger generation to cherish the family relationship. Because when younger generation feel the gratitude for their families, they will more likely to purchase home appliances for their family as an appreciation and love for their elders.
E-Life Mall created a film to respond to the social issue. The brand cleverly packaged its "values" as "products" and sell to the audience. Through a sentimental story between a single father and a daughter which describes their growing process between them. As the father and daughter are growing further apart, they are becoming less and less aware of each other. Until one day, the daughter ponders all the funny role-plays her father did to entertain her and realizes that the role he worked hardest to play well was to be a good father.
