New Talbot's Commercial

[Taualumna]

Does anyone think that there's something Gap-ish about it?

I haven't seen it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were going Gap-ish.

Talbots may be trying to skew younger. But they walk a fine line -- in the late 1990s, the chain was hammered when they delivered clothes that were too young and trendy for their customer base.

I'm a customer of Talbots -- it's very good for basics and classics, such as white dresses and skirt suits.

I agree they have to be careful, but bringing in a younger clientele can be a good thing.

However, I think they should have had a more creative way for their ads....or did they purposely make their commercials look like Gap ones ?

what is talbots? I think i've seen it at the mall before.. although i've never ventured in.

On the Gapish commercial note: I really like the Geico insurance commercial that mimicks the Gap commercials. "But they won't save you money on car insurance!" lol gets me everytime

It's mostly "classic" styles, but for their women's line, they seem to target the mid-30s+ range over younger women.

i agree. something is going on at talbots-it seems to me that they are searching for a new identity. either that or they have developed a split personality-trying to attract a younger clientele while still appealing to their regular customer base. some of the offerings look like things you could pick up at k-mart. lately they have been hit or miss with me.
