Holiday by the Numbers
Nearly half the country thinks the holiday season is more stressful than the rest of the year1
77 percent of Americans think that the holidays were more fun when they were children1
81 percent of Americans would rather take their time shopping for gifts rather than get everything done on Black Friday1
Two in three Americans love the idea of gift shopping, but the actual experience – lines, crowds, and prices – ends up stressing them out1
Joy for All Beginning on Cyber Monday, November 30, through December 9, Glade® will give away 1,000 surprise, joyful gifts, including BE AT PEACE™ Jar Candles and a scented gift tag, to the first 1,000 users who engage with Glade® on Twitter, using #FeelJoy.
With the help of Pandora®, Glade® is also creating a first-of-its-kind Song Dedication Station. Listeners can gift songs dedicated to those who bring them joy directly through the Glade® "Feel Joy Radio" Pandora® link on feelingsofjoy.com.
Inspire Emotions Through Scent Glade® is also encouraging people to visit The Museum of Feelings this holiday season, an interactive experience built to showcase the beautiful connection between scent and emotion as art located at Brookfield Place, 230 Vesey St., in New York's Financial District.
Glade® has simultaneously created a generative profile picture on Twitter where, for the first-time ever, a Twitter profile picture will not be static, but alive and based on feelings. When guests visit the Retail Lounge at the Museum they have the opportunity to create the 'MoodLens,' an emotionally generated selfie that changes to reflect feeling. Additionally, the 'MoodLens' is accessible to those who can't attend the Museum of Feelings in person, as it is available for online users. Visit www.themuseumoffeelings.com, and follow the step-by-step instructions to make your emotions part of your profile.
