Dusting is a household chore that rarely registers glamour or fun in the minds of consumers. For this reason, companies often have trouble engaging their target audience and creating brand loyalty. Take a look at this video to see how Swiffer included a modern spin on dusting to \u00a0entice consumers to purchase Swiffer products:<\/p>\n<span class=\"vvqbox vvqyoutube\" style=\"width:425px;height:344px;\"><span id=\"vvq-78-youtube-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SYNawC9zbsQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/SYNawC9zbsQ\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Preview Image\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<p>One of my favourite parts of the commercial is when the dust particle references &#8220;spending too many nights alone at the space bar.&#8221; That line alone led me to choose this commercial for my final marketing blog post.

The advertisement as a whole is short, informative, reminds customers to purchase \u00a0Swiffer products and is comical.
