Vintage Blog post featuring Spring (April & May) vintage advertising from the 1940's and 1950's
In decades past, several celebrities endorsed products including Lux soap, cereal, beer, alcohol and cigarette ads. We features with stars like Joan Crawford, Kirk Douglas, Sammy Davis Jr, Rita Hayworth and countless others endorsing products! Let's take a look down memory lane and explore these great ads!
Tobacco marketing has employed all sorts of effective (and often dubious) methods to get cigarettes into our mouths and tar into our lungs. One challenge they have faced it to get both men and women to inhale their carcinogenic fumes. For men, it’s fairly easy. We’ve covered this before: just feature a sexy woman, and … Continue reading "She Sells Smokes: 30 “Women-Only” Vintage Tobacco Ads"

Long time readers will recall last year's week-long look at Pepsi's decade-spanning ad campaign. At that time I posited that during the 50's, unlike its main competitor Coca Cola, Pepsi's marketing strategy was to target women specifically. Imagine my delight upon discovering the oddball ad below in a 1955 Saturday Evening Post: "For the third year in a row," reads the body copy, "Pepsi is talking to women in women's language. They talk to women about women. In terms of modern woman's good taste, good health, good figure - and good sense." See guys? That's why women are always complaining we don't communicate with them. Who knew they had their own language?! But seriously, this ad not only confirms what we were previously discussing about Pepsi, it raises an interesting point about how advertisers of the 50's were beginning to realize that America had changed. That small town, traditional mom n' pop Norman Rockwell generation was giving way to an emerging post-war urban society. Advertisers would need to navigate the complexities of this atomic age America to appeal to the emerging sophistication of its wants and desires. Next week, using an article from an old issue of Art Director and Studio News as our guide, we'll examine how the ad industry strategized to appeal to women and men. And we'll see if very much has changed in the last 50 years! My Pepsi Ads Flickr set.
I guess in the 1950s the best way to advertise to women was through misogyny!
Not only would these sexist vintage ads not sell well today, they'd cause a huge social media backlash. See 50 of the most obnoxious examples here.

To push their products, these advertisements invoke some of the worst gender stereotypes, depicting women as terrible drivers, brainless beauties, and kitchen-dwellers. Women of the twentieth century, I sincerely hope you did not put up with this nonsense.
Charming adverts from the 50s reveal elegant images drawn by hand before the advent of graphic design software.
Advertising, as well as a lot of other fields, has had to adapt to the evolution of technology. And we can totally see a difference when we compare the old, vintage ads to the ones created nowadays. While both vintage and today’s ads still think about consumer desire, today they rather sell an idea than a product.
