  • CREATIVITY/IDEA/INSIGHT :
    Korea has traditional congratulatory money culture, where people place cash in an envelope when celebrating a wedding.
    This culture has caused inconvenience for young couples and for guests who are required to express their congratulations in cash.
    The bride and groom were under pressure to include bank account numbers on beautiful invitations, and guests felt burdened to express intimacy based on the amount of cash.
    Moreover, if the bride or groom is your closest friend, then you might need to spend some more money to give a present, such as small home appliances. If the newlyweds receive the same items in duplicate,
    they may feel burdened when selling things in the second-hand trade.
    Samsung Electronics, the brand that sells major home appliances, managed a campaign 'BESPOKE Wedding FUNding' a platform that addresses cultural issues and boosts sales of its flagship products, specifically major home appliances.
  • STRATEGY :
    The main target of Samsung Electronics’ BESPOKE was newlyweds who start their new life by buying new major appliances as a set.
    Samsung Electronics realized that two different things happen simultaneously for its main targets – one is deciding which brand of major appliances to buy, and the other is going through a stressful time with congratulatory money and invitations.
    So, Samsung Electronics tailored a platform that combines three functions: inviting friends to the wedding, creating wish lists of Samsung Electronics' major appliances they need, and providing a funding system where guests can easily contribute.
    This unique mobile invitation could boost sales of Samsung Electronics right away by efficiently modifying newlyweds’ invitation without a large-scale marketing consumption.
  • EXECUTION :
    The process of BESPOKE Wedding FUNding follows as below:
    - Samsung Electronics provided a microsite where newlyweds can design their mobile invitation with beautifully designed by popular illustrators.
    - On the website, newlyweds list their wish lists of Samsung Electronics’ major appliances they need.
    - After designing, share it with friends via a mobile messenger.
    - Friends who receive the mobile invitations can contribute funding to the appliances listed by the bride and groom along with their congratulatory message.
    - After the invite, the newlyweds can purchase Samsung Electronics’ appliances at a reasonable price with the funding received from friends.
