Set up on the same day that the city of Toronto got its biggest snowfall for the year, these comical winter ads from Interac make the most of the season for high amounts of snow and shopping.
Using mistletoe, snowballs and melting snowmen to convey its message, these seasonal icons are mixed with witty quips about money management. With lots of snow covering the sidewalks surrounding one of Toronto's busiest downtown shopping centers, the seasonally-appropriate ads seem right at home. One of the most dynamic ads from Interac features a gigantic snowball, paired with a sign that simply and boldly states "Don't let debt snowball." With these hard-to-miss ads on the city streets, hopefully people are reminded not to break the bank with all of their Christmas and New Year's shopping.
