the challenge: to differentiate Zellers from the competition in an extremely price-based "commodity" category at a key time of year for retailers
the creative strategy: to see the typical "low prices" story in a new way, while showing a wide range of product and incorporating personalized rewards coupons
the execution: toys protest the low prices that Zellers is selling them for – they are worth far more, so they want parents to get them out of the store (and personalized Hbc Rewards coupons are an added incentive)
the result: numbers are not known, but anecdotal stories from store and marketing staff tell of a very strong and memorable impact with parents shopping for toy gifts at the busiest time of year
