Thematically, you need an underlying message that reminds us of our common humanity. 

A dash or two of humour is never remiss. 

There should be a strong seasonal feel, but not to excess. 

A compelling storyline with an air of intrigue is preferred.

Always include a dog. Always.

Bring lumps to throats and you're definitely on the right track.

And if you manage to seamlessly incorporate every single one of these features, well, you might just have a rival to this Polish online auction website's advert entitled "English for Beginners."
