TARGETAUDIENCES
• Age: 25– 35 years old• Live in key cities• Knowledgable• Christian or No religion or Ancestry worship• Not too superstitious• Too busy
FACTS
The tenth lunar month is the most auspicious time
for weddings
The 5th, 14th & 23th lunar day of the month is
unlucky time for going out
The 1st lunar day of the month is a very unlucky time for getting hair cut
Every SPIRITUAL BELIEFS of Vietnamese start from LUNAR CALENDARso it will be impossible for us to negate the role of Lunar Calendar in life
OBSERVATION
Besides happiness and excitement in Tet, people areoften under pressure & stressful before Tet and afterTet if the desired outcomes are not as expected.
What if we don’t have the right “five fruits tray”?What if our apricot flowers not bloom at the right time?What if we don’t have right first person to enter thehouse?etc.
This pressure mostly comes from NEGATIVE SPIRITUAL BELIEFS links tightly with LUNAR CALENDAR, not from rituals in Tet,
Both rituals in Tet & spiritual beliefs cannot be removed in Vietnamese’ mind
“TET”SPRIRITUAL BELIEFS
We can call it “Tet-phobia”: Tet actions forecast same things in the upcoming year
On the 1ST, 2ND, 3RD LUNAR days of Tet:
DO NOT sweep any of dust & dirt out of the house [62.1%]→ afraid to sweep all the wealth away
DO NOT let unsuitable guest enter the house first [61.7%]afraid bad character brings misfortune tone for all year
DO NOT break things [49.8%]→ afraid to be broken all year
DO NOT take medicines in spite of sickness → afraid to be weak & sick all year round
DIG DEEPER
I want to have a FULLY ENJOYABLE Tet
A Tet with just excitement & happiness
A Tet without burden & pressure
From rituals
If I do not follow them correctly, I will be unlucky all year
Because of spiritual factors tie to LUNAR CALENDAR
I FEAR OF IT
What do mean by “fully enjoyable”?
What do mean by “just”?
Where “burden & pressure” come from?
Why?
Why?
What that makes you feel?
BRAND TRUTH: NEW TETLess spiritual burdenbecause it followsolar calendar notlunar calendar
CATEGORY TRUTH: TET HOLIDAYReunionLongest relaxation escaping fromburden after all year workingRituals
CONSUMER TRUTH: Have fear of spiritual factors
INSIGHT:
I want to FULLY ENJOY Tet. But my enjoyment is often subdued by my apprehension and FEAR of
not fulfilling the expectations of SPIRITUAL BELIEFS
What if we celebrate A new Tet with full of ritual features BUT NO spiritual burden?
STRATEGY
New Year in solar calendar in Vietnam & Asia in general is not tied to spiritual beliefs
Not only avoid the spiritual burden in Tet but also not negate the spiritual beliefs tied to the lunar calendar
We are not trying to solve supersitions issue or negate spiritual beliefs when it comes to lunar calendarWe are giving a new time - solar calendar for the old Tet to minimize spiritual burden.
The easier way for Vietnamese people to accept the new Tet with enjoyment
- - CHANGE TIME -
CELEBRATE VIETNAMESE LUNAR NEW YEAR ACCORDING TO
SOLAR CALENDAR
Why we CANNOT just simplify Tet and celebrate it in Lunar new year?
The more time Vietnamese people still celebrate Tetaccording to lunar calendar, the more they strongly stickto spiritual beliefs during Tet -> The more superstitiousthey can be -> The more fear inside them -> The moredifficult to tell them to minimize burden from that fear
This is not a smart way when the rooted environment – lunar calendar is still there along side with spiritual beliefs at Tet
