Shoe Carnival launching first national ad campaign

Atlanta -- Footwear retailer Shoe Carnival on April 6 will launch its first integrated national advertising campaign in support of the spring season. The campaign accompanies the brand’s U.S. expansion and debuts a new tagline, "A surprise in store."



“Our aggressive expansion plans call for us to open 30 to 35 stores per year,” said Todd Beurman, senior VP of marketing at Shoe Carnival. “Couple that with our rapid e-commerce growth, and now is the time for us to employ an integrated, national advertising campaign to introduce the rest of America to the Shoe Carnival brand and to remind our existing customer base that there’s always something new for them to discover at Shoe Carnival."



In its first national campaign, “Boxed Surprise,” Shoe Carnival highlights its unexpected selection of brand name shoes and accessories at great prices, and the stores’ fun, inviting environment. “Home Runway,” the first in a series of national TV commercials for the campaign, celebrates the joy and anticipation of new shoes and shows that there’s a surprise in every shoebox at Shoe Carnival.”



“Home Runway” will run on national cable beginning April 6, and digital and social media will support these efforts.
