Many people like cute and humorous ads. See, for example: Ad Campaigns That Inspire . Rogue One: May Force Still Be with You. Dollar Shave Club Goes Humorous. Now Ikea is taking its furniture advertising to a higher level of cuteness. The new campaign deals with Ikea pet furniture. Yes pet furniture.
Ikea Pet Furniture. Yes Pet Furniture.
As Ikea notes at its Web site:
“Finally for cats and dogs too!! Have you ever felt like your cat or dog wasn’t just a pet, but a member of the family? It’s exactly that focus that led IKEA to make the comprehensive LURVIG pet product range. Created by pet loving designers with support from trained veterinarians, the range covers all the bases of our shared life with pets indoors and out, so you and your pet can enjoy your home together.”
Will the pet product line be a hit? Alexandra Jardine reports this for Ad Age Creativity:
“Not content with having conquered the market for human furniture over the past 30 years, Ikea is now turning its attention to the animal world. The Swedish retailer has unveiled its first line of furniture for pets. Its LURVIG line (meaning “hairy” in Swedish) includes cat and dog beds and houses for them to curl up in, as well as accessories like scratch mats, feeding bowls and litter trays. There are also some scaled down versions of some of its favorite items, like a mini play tunnel for cats or a mini version of the Kilppan sofa. And some items ingeniously fit with the Ikea furniture you already have: like cozy inserts for Kallax shelving that are designed for animals to squeeze into. Like all Ikea stuff, it’s reasonably priced: a cat house on legs, for instance, is $54.98.
