1990s Beauty Commercials
We Will Never Forget
It’s hard to forget a catchy jingle or amazing commercial. The ‘90s had plenty of
both. Many of these products became iconic because of the huge advertising
push behind them.
Ex’cla.ma’tion Perfume
Who could forget the Ex’cla.ma’tion song and the fabulous ‘90s polka dot
dresses in the commercial? It was a fun commercial that aired all the time,
and it’s no small wonder that the perfume is still sold today.
Pantene Pro-V
Who didn’t buy a bottle of Pantene Pro-V after seeing the commercial of model
Karen Mulder showing layer after layer of beautiful golden hair? Or Miss USA Kenya Moore displaying perfectly silky
tresses for the camera? We’re not sure what type of magical things they did behind the scenes to get hair to look
so perfect for these commercials, but it was inspiring to watch.

Cosmetic Promotions Designs a Variety of Creative
Custom Displays for Testers, Samples and More
Looking for ways for customers to remember your brand? The
fact is, customers like to TRY before they buy, so testers and
samples are a great way to give customers something tangible
to remember your product or brand. But how do you distribute
those samples in stores without hiring someone to stand there
and hand them out? So many times samples end up behind a
counter and never get distributed—no one wants that.
To solve this dilemma, Cosmetic Promotions has custom display
options for any type of product tester or samples. For example, our
Sample Display Box with Tent Card Backer is increasingly popular,
Sample Box
Display with
Graphic Backer
that converts
to a Tent Card
as it is a way to offer samples to customers and advertise at the
same time. Once the samples are gone, the Tent Card Backer
comes out of the Display Box and turns into a sign to stand alone.
A coupon pad can also be added to the Tent Card to offer customers extra
savings as an incentive to purchase right then.
Don’t have samples to distribute? Don’t despair, Cosmetic Promotions offers
tester displays OR can make mini glass jars that the store associates can fill
from the tester as a take-away sample. We even have a display to hold the
customized jars. Since everything is custom, we can create anything you
need—even displays that hold multiple testers or product varieties!
