While recently searching for an advertising campaign for a Hoover Vacuum, I stumbled across a vintage Holiday ad that grabbed my interest. Curious to see more of these types of great ads, I began my search for vintage advertising and fell in love with the style of artwork! It's interesting that today more & more ads are photographed and use live models, where as the vintage ads were all about creating the mood and selling the product through artwork!
Over the years advertisers have found various ways to grab the attention of consumers with their fanciful Holiday advertisments. In what way will they market their products year after year, to bring in TOP sales.
Well, things certainly have changed quite a bit with advertising in the 21st century, but perhaps you'll recall some of these holiday advertising campaigns from years past! What I really find facinating is that mostly all of these products are still selling strong today! Enjoy!

This is the Hoover Vacuum Holiday advertisment that first caught my attention and started the search for more Vintage Ads.
The Hoover Company is still going strong today!
How could we forget this favorite stocking stuffer!
"What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs and makes a slinkety sound,a spring a spring a marvelous thing, everyone knows it's Slinky!...It's Slinky, It's Slinky, for FUN it's a wonderful toy,... It's Slinky, It's Slinky, It's FUN for a girl or a boy"!
Amazing how advertising works, when you can still remember the silly product jingle 40 years later! That's a real scary thing!
Hope you enjoyed a look back at some of these vintage ads, some you may even remember seeing before. That is if you are part of the baby boom generation! Happy Holidays!
