Dollar Tree
Why it worked
The video taps into a common pain point for college students: the high cost of supplies. By offering a budget-friendly alternative and using a relatable, slightly provocative tone, it resonates with a large audience facing similar financial constraints.
Summary
The creator advises college students to buy their supplies at Dollar Tree instead of expensive stores like Target, emphasizing the cost savings. They suggest that items bought at pricier retailers will likely be thrown away soon anyway, making Dollar Tree a more practical choice.
