Flooring Ad Goes Retro. Brings Back Enchanted Housewife

FLOOR360-Tile.jpg

While we’re quite sure this is tongue in cheek and an homage advertising pre-feminist glory days, we’re still not quite sure what flooring materials have to do with an attractive woman. Created by Shine Advertising, the campaign supposedly “hinges on day-in-the-life moments, in which the oft-ignored flooring actually becomes the focal point of an event.” It’s all designed to appeal to the Mcmansion crowd who want to feel as if they’re a part of an economic class of which they will never be a part. Oh yea, that’s aspirational advertising. Basically the point of every ad campaign created. But what’s up with the fawning females and that ridiculous copy?

Having disingenuously defecated on the campaign, this might work better as a trade campaign. After perusing through Floor Covering Installer Magazine with its ceaseless parade of dull product shot advertising, this campaign would certainly catch a glimpse from the almost entirely male demo that makes up that industry. See two other versions of the ad here and here.
