Episode notes
This video explores advent calendars and their impact on consumers and fashion/ beauty industries today. While some see advent calendars as a traditional, appealing practice, others view them as clever marketing that doesn't deliver the promised value. I examine the advent calendar 'phenomenon' through social and consumer theories to clarify this debate, while unpacking the beauty calendar I got from Liberty London.
