Aaron's Digital Marketing Comp.

Our campaign began with an in-depth exploration of our target audience: Millennials. Research showed that 90% of Millennials value authenticity, and 73% prefer a "do-it-yourself" approach when it comes to home decor and furnishings. This insight was vital in shaping our campaign to foster a genuine connection between the brand and its consumers.

We created detailed customer personas, like "Alice" and "Aspyn," who reflected the preferences of our target market. These personas highlighted the importance of comfort, convenience, and price in shopping decisions, guiding our strategy in addressing consumer needs.

Introducing the Campaign: Personalized Shopping with Aaron's

The core of our campaign revolved around personalization. We designed an "Aaron's Aesthetic Quiz," an interactive experience on the Aaron's website that guided consumers to find their ideal home decor style. By answering a series of questions about lighting, color schemes, and furniture preferences, consumers received tailored recommendations, enhancing their shopping journey. This quiz was followed by personalized Pinterest boards, connecting consumers to specific products that matched their aesthetic.

Campaign Tactics: Engaging Across Multiple Channels

Our multi-channel marketing strategy included:

• App Chat Channels: Consumers could interact with Aaron's representatives and other customers in chat channels dedicated to topics like budgeting tips, DIY projects, and decor inspiration. This created a community space for sharing ideas and tips, fostering brand engagement.
• Social Media Integration: We launched the #MyAarons Design Contest, encouraging users to share photos of their home designs using Aaron's products. The contest allowed customers to showcase their unique style and connect with others, building a sense of community around the brand.
• AI-Powered Interior Design: We introduced "Ari," an AI interior designer, within the Aaron's app. Ari provided tailored advice, furniture exchange options, and design solutions, enhancing customer interaction and adding value to the shopping experience.
