Men Across America Reclaim A Bathroom Space Of Their Own
Dove® Men+Care™ Hair Launches the "Hair to the Throne" Contest To Give Men Greater Share of Their Shower
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Sept. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Most couples acknowledge that women get most of the space in their bathroom†. In fact, guys report having as little as one-third of the overall bathroom space to place their things†. With such a small share of shower to call their own, nine-in-ten guys† reach for the bottles and balms that belong to their partner...and shampoo tops the list†.
Dove® Men+Care™ Hair, which offers fortifying hair care products designed for men's specific needs, launches the "Hair to the Throne" contest today, to help men reclaim bathroom space, and products, of their own. The brand is partnering with well-known husband and wife design duo, Mark and Theresa Clement, to dole out more than $30,000 worth of prizes, including a dream bathroom renovation -- and the product to stock it -- as well as an exclusive consultation with the couple.
"Dove® Men+Care™ Hair understands men are increasingly prioritizing grooming in both their personal and professional life and we want to make sure they carve out dedicated space for these changing needs," says Rob Candelino, VP of Brand Building, Unilever. "Dove® Men+Care® has helped evolve the retail environment to include dedicated aisles for men's hair and skin grooming solutions, so it's a natural extension for us to bring that in-home, too. As seasoned experts in home improvement, the Clements offer valued DIY tips, design inspiration and real-life ingenuity to solve some common challenges, which we're proud to bring into homes firsthand."
"As longtime partners, the campaign really resonated with us," said Theresa Clement. "We've definitely encountered the ups and downs of sharing space, just as any couple," says Mark, "and it's really fun to talk about it in such a positive and lighthearted way." The duo, boasting a fusion of DIY-know how, architectural training, and a keen eye for design, is eager to help couples across America balance their space with innovative solutions. Their series of how-to videos, will be featured on the Dove® Men+Care® website for a limited time, beginning today.
Residents of the fifty U.S. states and D.C are encouraged to enter for a chance to win the Dove® Men+Care™ Hair "Hair to the Throne" contest, from September 29th through October 24th.
