Challenge In Taiwan, single population has reached nearly 10 million, accounted for 43% of the total population. 7- ELEVEN nestles in almost every street corner, ready to provide services and products customized for single people. For single people, 7- ELEVEN is just like another kitchen, or another family member. Except for satisfying Single people’s daily life, how do we attach importance to their emotional needs? Objectives Singles’ Day falls on every November 11th. China is the only country in the world that has set aside a special day for singles to celebrate their lives. On 11/11, the Singles’ Day in 2014. 7-ELEVEN aimed to express the “single friendly” image of 7- ELEVEN. Strategy We attempt to single section as a starting point. Through the story of a single in 7-segment, we convey the real demands of life in a single state, and cleverly link the role of the brand,7-11, whereby the expansion of the brand spread to various age levels. Execution On 11/11, We launched “7 lessons about single life” online campaign. Inspired by true stories happened in 7-ELEVEN, 4 short films and 3 short stories has been released. The main characters in stories have to deal with social pressure yet harbor their own issues. 7-ELEVEN not only accompanies them through the period of being single, but help them gain precious lessons about life.

This Singles’ Days campaign is designed for single people. By using 7 stories, we teach singles how to live better lives. By using different single group’s stories such as widow, single girl, working professional woman, nerd who’s at the age of getting married…etc. We evoke resonance among customers, and make them go on the website to understand the multi services 7-ELEVEN provides for single people. We launched the site through the mass flow of Internet video and importing media, web content introduce the convenience offered by a single service to consumers by the ways of lives.

In Taiwan’s social consciousness or traditional advertisement, we can often see attractive men and women falling in love; however, single people rarely obtain our attention. According to statistics, single people have grown over the past years and have been accounted for almost 43% of Taiwan’s total population. Therefore, we need to value and respect single people’s psychological needs. As a convenience store brand, 7-ELEVEN first proposed the idea of being single friendly; it not only brings all the single people together, but also makes the public start to care about single people’s feeling and need.
