Looking to “provide a boost to the
carpet market,” a consortium of leading UK and European carpet makers are
working with large UK retail group Carpetright and distribution group Headlam
to create “an extensive, generic promotional campaign for broadloom carpet.” The
campaign, set to run for two years beginning in September, will cost about $12
million U.S., according to the group.
“This
campaign targets bringing carpet to the forefront of people’s minds when they think
about redecorating,” the group noted. “It will be a robust and durable campaign
focusing on the many benefits of broadloom carpets.”
The Engine Group of
London has been hired to develop the campaign. The firm notes that the campaign
will include “outdoor, magazine, online and TV advertising, and PR activities.”
