A concept store's White Friday in Dubai

Winning the biggest shopping weekend of the year with curated gift edits instead of the deepest discount.

This is a concept: an example of how we would approach this kind of brief. It is not a past client campaign, and the results section lists what we would measure, not results achieved.

The goal

Grow White Friday sales in store and online without relying on the deepest discount in the mall.

The insight

White Friday is loud. Every brand discounts, and a small store cannot win on price. What it can win on is taste: the products nobody else carries, chosen by people the customer trusts.

The idea

"Picked by." Four local creators each curate a gift edit from the store, from "for the friend who has everything" to "under AED 200". The edits become the store's White Friday, online and on the shop floor.

The plan

  1. Three weeks before

    Edits

    Creators pick their edits in store. We shoot each edit as stills and short videos.

  2. Two weeks before

    Reveal

    One edit revealed every few days on Instagram and TikTok, with the creator's own post on the same day.

  3. White Friday weekend

    In store

    An evening styling session with the creators, edits displayed together, and a small gift with every edit bought.

  4. After

    Into Eid Al Etihad and DSF

    Best-selling edits carried into the Dubai Shopping Festival season.

What we would measure

  • Sales of each creator's edit
  • Store visits during the weekend
  • Saves and shares on edit posts
  • Messages asking about products
  • New followers from creator posts
