HIGHBRIDGE-based furniture retailer Sopha has announced its first ever Christms TV advert.

It can be seen starting this weekend on Sky Adsmart, YouTube and social media

Matthew Scott, who founded the firm with his wife Emily, said: “Following the success of our first TV advert a little over a year ago, we are really excited to bring a little Christmas magic to TV and computer screens across the area.

"By working with local media agency Simple Media, who utilise modern filming and distribution methods, we’ve been able to advertise to thousands of people for only a small fraction of what traditional TV advertising costs allowing us to keep prices low all year round for our customers.”

“We’ve expanded our range of giftware and luxury Christmas decorations this winter so we hope the advert will inspire people to come in and take a look around.

"Those who haven’t visited us since our opening will be surprised at how we’ve grown into the space and expanded our offering.

"We’ve also greatly expanded our stock holding of sofas, beds and furniture.”

A temporary Christmas-themed window display appeared in the shop in early October as the film crew captured the festive magic at Sopha.

The advert depicts the store coming to life after the lights have been turned out, with a toy soldier jumping down from the Christmas tree and looking around the shop at all the furniture and home stuff.

Matthew added. “Our team have really put a lot into creating this advert, from building two full window displays within a week to re-organising the store several times as it was turned into a film set for a few days, all while ensuring we still offer the best possible service to our customers, many of which looked rather bemused at the Christmas trees and decorations that were coming and going.

"I just hope the advert adds a little sparkle and a smile to people’s faces."

Sopha opened in Nove mber 2018 and specialises in ‘handmade beds, sofas andhome stuff’ from their furniture store in Highbridge and their website sopha.co.uk.
