IKEA Stores: "Smallest store in the World" Online Advert by Memac Ogilvy Dubai

With city populations on the rise, living spaces are becoming increasingly limited. IKEA believes that no matter how cramped your space, there’s always a solution. To demonstrate this, we built an entire IKEA store in a 300 x 250 pixel web banner. We targeted people looking for studio flats as well as one/two bedroom apartments by placing our tiny stores in the real estate section of community websites. As with our full size stores, shoppers were able to browse by department, choose and buy any of our products on display.

Brief Explanation:
To demonstrate IKEA’s commitment to saving space, we built an entire IKEA store in a 10.5cm x 8.8cm web banner. We targeted people looking for studio flats as well as one/two bedroom apartments by placing our tiny stores in the real estate section of community websites. The banner allows you to browse a full IKEA store by department, click on any item you like and buy it straight from the IKEA website. With over 2 thousand products available on the banner it is definitely the smallest and smartest IKEA store in the world.
