Operating In A Saturated Market? Learn How This Brand Did It.

There’s a lot of talk about picking the right niche for your business.

But what if you were operating in an overcrowded market?

#FeaturedAd - Bombas

Brand: BombasCategory: Apparel & AccessoriesFormat: Video

Caption: Incredibly soft, cozy, and in colors you'll love. Don't be surprised if our socks become your favorite. Heading: Take 20% Off Your First Order With Code: COMFORT20

WHY IT WORKS:

Who doesn’t shop for socks for holiday gifts?

If you’re in the sock market, creating colorful and cute holiday videos with your most festive products will help keep your product on top of shoppers’ minds. The ad showcases four different use cases- stuff them in holiday stockings, wear them to cozy hikes, pad around them in the house (and kiss under the mistletoe!), and even use them for early presents!

The products look great, and the ad caption reinforces quality and comfort. Who offers a lifetime guarantee AND 100% refund on socks?! With a 20% off coupon code for first-time orders, it’s hard to resist shopping from them!

#BrandedCatalog Spotlight - Bums & Roses

Brand: Bums & Roses Category: Babywear Template type: 2-image with PR

WHY IT WORKS:

• The 2-image template showcases the store’s adorable lifestyle pictures.

• Subtle design elements added in are customized in the brand’s colors and impart a festive feel without distracting from the template.

• The addition of the PR/media quotes adds social proof and creates FOMO.
