Greetings, fellow keystrokers! It's Derek, your go-to girl in the world of digital marketing, coming to you from the invigorating scene of Portland, Oregon with the juiciest scoop of the week!
Walmart is about to make fetch happen. Nope, I'm not hallucinating from my organic kale smoothie. Taking a leaf from the 2004 Mean Girls handbook, the retail giant has cast the spotlight on high school's ultimate queen bees for its latest marketing shindig. The Black Friday advertising blitz is all set to cause a major retail ruckus on November 10 and 24, with the shop-til-you-drop extravaganza kick-starting online on November 8 and 22.
The aces up Walmart's sleeve? Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, and Lacey Chabert. Even if their Plastics' lifestyle is now peppered with diaper changes and PTA meetings, the Mean Girls' reincarnation promises several wallet-tempting deals. We can expect creative crumbs, courtesy of Publicis Groupe agencies' initiative, to lead us through November with a fresh dose every Wednesday culminating in a Cyber Monday (Nov. 27) explosion.
Resurrecting Mean Girls for Walmart's Black Friday extravaganza leans heavily on the nostalgia trip. Retail therapy meets memory lane as the term 'Black Friday' gets a fresh timeline. Starting with online sales on November 8, these events aim to boost subscriptions for Walmart's membership-only shopping experience, Walmart+.
Looking beyond the Plastic glam, the campaign does raise an intriguing question. Is aligning decades-old pop culture with a sales push a brilliant strategic move or a desperate leap onto the nostalgia bandwagon? While it seems Walmart has its coordinating ducklings in a row, it's clear they're banking on a group of star-struck Mean Girls followers shopping their deal-heavy scenes.
Juice.ai finds this marketing move fascinating! By aligning Mean Girls' fan base with Walmart's target audience and banking on a healthy dose of nostalgia, they created a campaign that caters to the wants and needs of their customer base. Here's to hoping they plugged in the right data!
