RANT: Eadward the Great


So remember my remark that Eadward's slogan missed the mark by stating "Fun Fragrances for the Contemporary Woman"?

Well, I emailed Kareema, the company founder, and suggested that she tweak it just a little bit.

Checkout the new slogan...

I have to say the new one is much better. Granted I have never tried any of these fragrances nor have I even heard of the house before today but I think "fun" is a better word to describe fragrances such as Eclectic and Ocean than sophisticated was.

Now, Marlen, we just need you to send out a few more emails to help other companys realize that their slogans can be improved. If only you could help Ralph Lauren realize that "the new fragrance for men" is not a good tagline...

wow Marlen, thats impressive. Now, let's think of some other fragrance houses whos slogan we dislike and we'll get you on their asses too.

I say start with Calvin Klein and tell him that after 21 years, we still don't understand those commercials for "Obsession."

I love it! I have never heard of them either, but how fun for you. (Now of course I must see what they have to offer....damn you, Scenteur 7! Is there no rest for us perfume addicts?)

Justin - OOPS! I made a mistake there, sorry...they had always been "fun" but used to be "for women"...now they're for individuals!

rutherford - do I have some good ideas or what? Just you wait...

marlen said...

mark - don't mess with my existential naked bodies for CK! LOL...I'll start thinking...

Flora - I have a feeling this line is going to get a major facelift, and I can't wait to see what they come up with...Bottom Line: At those prices, it's hard to go wrong!

Mark said...

no, you're right. Existentialism is not dead...or is that chivalry?

Sand said...

I like it! Not only does it not specify a gender but it also makes it appear as though they're going for a sense of personal independence, for individuals of course.

Wow! Congrats! Nice to know they are listening.

marlen said...

attreau - right? Clever slogan, now perfected!

victoria - Kareema couldn't have been nicer. I can't wait to see what's next from this company!
