Hey Look, Another Riff on the Periodic Table. And with Widgets!

olive-scrub.jpg

Get a Happy Face,” St. Ives’ virgin foray in digital marketing, launched today. Each St. Ives Elements product page includes a cereal surprise: widgets that help improve your life!

These include a weather widget, which tells you what to wear and how much sunblock to smear on; a goal-setting widget; a workout widget; and cavity-sweet extras like Olive You e-cards, encouraging bedtime text messages and a (as in ONE) video of a laughing baby.

Random. But I did like the ghost bib.

The site was put together by EVB/SF and will be promoted via banner ads and in select print pubs. St. Ives is part of the Alberto Culver family, which includes other drug store staples like VO5 and Tresemme.

I’m 66 and the biggest lesson I learned too late wasn’t about saving more money or traveling sooner – it was understanding that every time I said ‘I’m fine’ when I wasn’t, I was teaching people that my feelings didn’t require their attention
