Mindful-Shopping Campaigns

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Ordinary’s 'Slovember' Campaign Promotes Intentional Shopping

— November 12, 2024 — Fashion
This year, The Ordinary invites consumers to slow down with its new 'Slovember' campaign, challenging traditional Black Friday sales tactics with a unique twist on holiday shopping. Through bold billboards and full-page ads in major publications like The New York Times and The Guardian, The Ordinary urges shoppers to rethink impulsive buying driven by discounts. Designed by Amsterdam-based agency Soursop, this anti-Black Friday campaign warns against 'cheap creep' -- the pressure to purchase based solely on deals.

Slovember speaks directly to The Ordinary’s core philosophy, emphasizing quality and the value of informed choices. Instead of high-pressure deals, the brand offers a 23% discount throughout November, giving customers ample time to consider each purchase with care. The campaign encourages exploring skincare science thoughtfully, featuring resources like 'The Ordinary Beginner’s Guide' and 'How to Build a Regimen' for those new to the brand.

With Slovember, The Ordinary advocates for mindful shopping and demonstrates its commitment to transparency, empowering consumers to prioritize quality over quantity.
