‘We Do, I Do’

A campaign from Hobbycraft to engage with the booming millennial craft audience & provide a solution to the increasing cost of weddings.

The Problem:

Craft has entered the mainstream but Hobbycraft is not recognised by its booming millennial audience. 

The Insights:

41% of crafters are millennials. They craft for the experience, wanting to make something for themselves. 

With the average cost of a British wedding at £18,400, and the strains of the cost-of-living-crisis, couples planning their wedding are opting for a DIY approach.

  • 3 in 5 couples are making their own stationary.

  • 2 in 5 couples are arranging their own flowers.

  • Half are making their own decorations.

Hobbycraft is here to help you create. With over 2,700 free project ideas, how-to-guides, and workshop programme, crafting is always on the cards.

The Solution:

The ‘We Do, I Do’ campaign aims to stop the 38% of newly-weds going over budget on their special day. 

The month of May is the peak of British wedding season in the UK. Save the date. It’s when the‘We Do, I Do’ campaign will commence. It will target the components often done DIY for budget-strapped millennials.

The Touchpoints:

  • A series of newspaper print and Pinterest advertisements will tie the knot between weddings and Hobbycraft. 

  • Invites will be sent out to redirect to-be-weds from expensive wedding retailers towards a Hobbycraft workshop.

  • Ushering our audience in-store. They’ll be greeted by employees wearing their craft-coded typographic name badge and receipts will continue to invite our audience in-store.
