Interactive Christmas campaigns are an excellent way for brands and stores to get their products and their message out there without it seeming like a one-way stream of information to consumers. Interactive campaigns aren't merely fun, but they leave a mark on consumers in a manner that conventional campaigns simply don't.
Christmas itself revolves around interaction -- with family, friends, neighbors and even strangers -- so it makes sense for businesses to tap into the Christmas spirit and create interactive Christmas campaigns and installations that are immersive rather than sermon-like.
When you think Christmas, you think turkey dinners, ugly sweaters, presents, Christmas trees and holiday beverages. When you think about it, any of these Christmassy elements can easily be converted into creative interactive experiences that can help organizations connect with their target audience.
