# Shaving With Skates, Whiskers & Shears Wilkinson Sword Saves You With Home Delivery By Ayman | Published 2009-04-02 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wilkinson-sword-ads References: [coloribus](http://www.coloribus.com/paedia/prints/2009/04/02/298082/) & [wilkinson-sword](http://www.wilkinson-sword.com/) So you wake up the morning of an important meeting with a long beard that needs to be shaved and you find that you have run out of shaving razors. What to do? Get creative and bring on the skates, scissors or whiskers. It might not be a close shave, but it'll do, right? These ads for Wilkinson Sword show you that you do not have to resort to such desperate measures thanks to their home delivery service. A pretty creative way to promote their delivery service. As a bonus, I have included a funny Wilkinson Sword commercial entitled “Fight For Kisses” from a couple of years ago. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Home Delivery Services:** Opportunities for disruption in the expanding market of home delivery services. - **Creative Advertising Campaigns:** Innovative and unconventional marketing strategies can capture attention and stand out from traditional promotions. - **Convenience in Daily Life:** Convenience-driven solutions are highly sought-after by consumers in their daily lives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Personal Care:** Personal care industries can enhance their products and services by offering home delivery options to improve accessibility for consumers. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Companies in the marketing and advertising industry can incorporate creative advertising campaigns that focus on convenience and accessibility to increase brand identity. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce retailers can expand their market share by offering home delivery services as a means of providing more convenience to their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Male Grooming Packaging Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wilkinson-sword.md) - [Comedian-Backed Razor Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-easyrinse-razor.md) - [Humorous Male-Targeted Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-club-campaign.md) - [Unique Real Facial Hair Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollar-shave-club1.md) - [Anthropomorphic Hair Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-ballad.md) - [Anti-Clogging Technology Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easyrinse-disposable.md) - [Hilarious Male Grooming Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manscaped-and-pete-davidson.md) - [Authentic Men-Targeted Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mentargeted-campaign.md) - [Playful Hockey Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beard-in-a-box.md)
