Tomorrow night’s X Factor will be the starting point for the
re-launch of the Reebok ReeTone Campaign. The main focus is the best
selling Reebok EasyTone trainer that claimed to stimulate muscle
activity, leading to improvements in muscle density and overall general
fitness.
The Summer Reebok EasyTone campaign was supported by ex-glamour model and body-icon Kelly Brook. The
ex-glamour model appeared on billboards and posters worldwide wearing nothing but
the Reebok trainers. This generated a large amount of publicity for the brand and
many retailers saw sales sky rocket. However, interest is set to heighten even
further with the launch of the new TV advertising campaign. The advert, which will
air during tomorrow night’s X Factor show, features Kelly Brook completing household
chores in skimpy outfits and a pair of Reebok EasyTone trainers.
Reebok are spending thousands of pounds in the second round of advertising, in an
attempt to generate even more interest in the fitness footwear range. In order to
concrete the publicity, Reebok have also enlisted the help of several male
celebrities such as F1 driver Lewis Hamilton and Footballer Thierry Henry. These
endorsements are targeted at getting males, who are interested in health and
fitness, to start considering the toning shoes as part of their exercise wardrobe.
It may seem strange that such a huge household name such as Reebok would want, or
even need to instigate a re-launch campaign, but the brand has seen some difficult
years; claims of unethical practice and 2009 saw 300 jobs cuts. Since, Reebok has
suffered with bad press and a sever decrease in sales. But maybe the innovative
EasyTone trainer’s concept will be able to provide Reebok with new image and
reputation that they need.
