VIZIO leverages capabilities recently released in its reimagined Home Screen, including expandable greeting cards with auto-play video linking to curated movies, shows, music playlists, DIY projects, cooking specials, and more.

In its first week, the Season’s Greeting carousel has garnered a 2x higher engagement than the average carousel.

Other recent Home Screen holiday initiatives, including VIZIO’s Halloween carousel, have proven to be a huge success. The October collection featured 3D-like tombstones inviting users to explore genres including kids and families, horror, and comedy, yielding a 5x higher engagement than the same placement average.
