After a long, challenging, and confusing year the holiday season is officially here. That means Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas will be on the radio every time it’s turned on, holiday cookies are gracing the super markets, snow will fall, and fans across all industries are prepared to buy gifts for friends and family.
Use the holiday season and your holiday content to launch exciting, holiday-themed activations to provide fun, at-home fan experiences. With Pico's technology you'll create something unique for your fans while also learning valuable information about them that will influence and encourage data-driven decision making.
Check out our ideas below for holiday activations that can be used to spread extra holiday cheer to your fans this season.
- Spin the Dreidel / Spin the Christmas Tree
Activation Type: Spin the Wheel
Take our classic Spin the Wheel activation and make it holiday themed with a spin the dreidel theme, spin the Christmas tree theme, spin the stocking… the creative opportunities here are limitless and you can have your fans spinning whatever your holiday heart desires. Create more of an incentive to play through placing different prizes throughout each segment of the wheel. After playing, ask fans the best method for them to receive their prize, whether it’s email or SMS. Now your organization has both learned and collected new contact information and the best way to reach those fans. - Memory Game with Gifts
Activation Type: Memory
Pico’s memory activations are perfect for fans to play a fun game, and provide an opportunity to place the logos of your partners on their personal devices in an organic way. For the holiday season, spice up the campaign a bit and ask fans to beat the clock to win their prizes. Whoever is able to match the most pairs in the least amount of time wins! End the activation with a link to your partners website featuring their new holiday products and/or sale. Drive clicks and conversions with this unique twist of a memory game. - Choose your Christmas present!

Hellooo holiday game-day! Not only do fans love to vote and share their voice (see above) but they also love to show how much knowledge they have when it comes to their teams.

You’ll have identified your fan in the process, provided a fun game, learned their preferred merch, and the best method of reaching them. - Snowball Tricky Cups
