Coach sends messages of good fortune with ‘Red Envelope’ Chinese New Year digital campaign

TBWA\TEQUILA\ Hong Kong and TBWA\TEQUILA\ Shanghai recently launched the Sina Weibo driven ‘Red Envelope’ digital campaign with the aim to help fans share well wishes of good fortune and prosperity with family and friends during the Chinese New Year season.

The ‘Red Envelope’ campaign, housed on the Coach China website, enables users to write their own Chinese New Year message or choose from a template of traditional greetings to share with their friends, displayed against an animated backdrop of swirling red envelopes. 

The user can then access the Weibo platform to share their message with up to three friends, or send their message via email.  Messages sent via Weibo will appear in a closed red envelope, driving users back to the Coach website to view their bespoke message. All sent message are kept in a gallery, where users can decide to re-share their favourite messages, written by others. As an incentive, RMB700 vouchers will be given away to five lucky ‘Red Envelope’ participants.

“With the ‘Red Envelope’ campaign, our aim was to help facilitate the messages our fans would be sharing with friends and family during the Chinese New Year season. Being a part of their celebration and well wishing is important to us as a brand, both in the offline and online space,” said Mia Sun, Digital Director of Coach China.

“The ‘Red Envelope’ campaign has provided us with the opportunity to give the Coach Sina Weibo fans a meaningful way to share the spirit of Chinese New Year, while also giving the brand the opportunity to grow their fan base,” explained Jocelyn Liipfert, Digital Accounts Director for TBWA\TEQUILA\Hong Kong.
