You’ll have a few options. For example, you might take a positive but serious tone aimed at helping shoppers prepare for the holiday rush with advice about how to manage expenditures and get the best deals. This approach would be similar to what Discover has done.
You might also take a lighthearted angle, entertaining your audience of potential customers as you point out some of the absurdities of camping out in front of a Walmart, whilst suggesting a few of the products your store sells for an easier, better alternative.
