Amazon Boxing Day Campaign: Driving Holiday Conversions
TL;DR
Overview

Challenge
The Boxing Day period represents one of the most competitive moments in retail, with countless brands competing for consumer attention across digital platforms. Amazon faced the challenge of cutting through this noise while maintaining strong engagement and driving measurable conversions.
One of the key obstacles was balancing scale with authenticity. While Amazon offers an extensive range of products, overly prescriptive messaging risked making content feel transactional rather than inspiring. Audiences are increasingly selective, and traditional promotional messaging often fails to resonate, particularly during high-volume sales periods.
Additionally, the campaign required rapid turnaround times, coordination across multiple creators, and alignment with performance KPIs such as clicks, engagement, and reach. Ensuring consistency in messaging while allowing creators enough flexibility to produce engaging, platform-native content was critical.
Finally, as a leading advertising campaign management initiative, the campaign needed to deliver not only visibility but also measurable traffic to Amazon.ca, making performance optimization a key priority.

Solution
Sundae Creative developed a performance-driven influencer marketing strategy rooted in authenticity, flexibility, and content diversity. As an experienced influencer marketing hub and social media management agency, the team focused on empowering creators to deliver content that resonated organically with their audiences while aligning with Amazon’s conversion-focused objectives.
The core approach centered on giving creators the freedom to select products they genuinely loved, rather than restricting them to a predefined list. This shift enabled more authentic storytelling, strengthened credibility, and ultimately drove higher engagement and click-through rates. By allowing creators to highlight their personal “must-haves,” the content felt more relatable and seamlessly integrated into their everyday lives.
The campaign also prioritized a mix of content formats, including carousel posts, stories, and curated “top finds” lists. This ensured a dynamic content ecosystem that avoided repetition, increased shareability, and maximized visibility across platforms.
To further enhance performance, Sundae Creative provided tailored creative direction, including seasonal hooks such as “last-minute gift guides,” “holiday essentials,” and “Boxing Day must-haves.” These concepts aligned closely with consumer intent during peak shopping moments.
By combining influencer marketing and strategic content planning, the campaign successfully bridged the gap between inspiration and conversion, delivering measurable impact at scale and drove sales.

Implementation
The campaign was executed through a structured yet flexible approach, ensuring both efficiency and creative freedom:
- Creator Partnerships: Six Québec-based social media influencers were selected based on audience alignment and content style. Each creator was tasked with showcasing their favorite Amazon products or Boxing Day deals.
- Content Production: A total of 42 pieces of content were produced across multiple formats, including Instagram posts, stories, and carousels. Emphasis was placed on visually engaging, informative, and shareable content.
- Product Flexibility: Creators were given the autonomy to choose products that aligned with their lifestyle and audience preferences. This approach reduced friction in the approval process and enhanced authenticity.
- Performance Optimization: Trackable links were integrated into bios and stories to drive traffic directly to Amazon.ca, supporting campaign goals tied to clicks and conversions.
- Creative Direction: Sundae Creative provided strategic guidance on content themes, including urgency-driven messaging such as “limited-time deals” and curated shopping lists.
- Campaign Coordination: As a leading event management and influencer agency, Sundae ensured seamless execution, managing timelines, creator communication, and content approvals.
This integrated approach allowed the campaign to scale efficiently while maintaining high-quality, engaging content across all touchpoints.
