Casio Sheen sales rise due to The Saturdays
Who said The Saturdays where on the way out? Casio Sheen don’t believe so, since the girls have taken over as brand ambassadors, sales have increased by 33.8% – and more is planned including a Christmas show!
Sales of Casio Sheen watches have soared by a third since British girl group The Saturdays began fronting their advertising campaigns in the summer.
The promotion is about to ramp up in the pre-Christmas run with six 60-second videos featuring the girls launching this month, along with advertorials and print advertising campaigns in OK! and New magazines, and a TV campaign on Channel 5 that will air for six weeks from the beginning of November.
Alongside the pre-Christmas campaign, Casio Sheen has launched a competition for a customer to win two tickets to a private London gig, where The Saturdays will be performing exclusively in the Casio Sheen store.
This will be promoted through Casio’s social media channels and in all Sheen’s independent retailers in order to offer their customers the opportunity to win this ‘money can’t buy’ prize.
Since Casio Sheen partnered with the popular British girl group in June, sales of Sheen timepieces are tracking at an average of above +33.8% versus the same period last year, the company states.
“With this intensive new phase of marketing activity in the run up to Christmas, we are expecting sales of Sheen watches to increase substantially more over the next two months,” says Casio’s head of marketing, Tim Gould.
The short promotional videos feature interviews with each of the six members of The Saturdays. The first, with Rochelle Humes, went live in September.

Frankie continues to wow on Strictly – Week Two
Frankie proves she is no fluke on Strictly by containing to wow the audience.

Una confirmed as judge on ‘Voice of Ireland’
Seems the girls are continuing to move more and more into different paths, Una continues her TV roles by becoming a Judge on ‘Voice of Ireland’.
The Tipperary mum-of-one will replace Cranberries frontwoman Dolores O’Riordan who departed earlier this year and will join Kian Egan and Bressie as well as a yet to be announced fourth judge.
Una who mum to two-and-a-half-year-old Aoife Belle is pregnant with her second child by rugby hubby Ben Foden and will commute from London for the TV gig.
Una started out by competing in the Irish Popstars show and has had massive success with The Saturdays since they formed in 2008, selling over 4 million records in the UK and Ireland.
She also took part in Tom Daley’s diving show, Splash, earlier this year.
The Voice of Ireland returns to RTE in March next year by which time Una will have given birth to her second baby.
Singer and judge Jamelia is understood to have departed the show due to the expensive commute from London every week and her replacement, and fourth coach, has yet to be revealed.
Dolores announced she was departing in July this year, saying the commute from her Canadian hometown to Dublin was just too much.
Dolores, who has three children, Dakota, Molly, and Taylor, with hubbie Don Burton, was on the show for just one series and appeared to go down well with viewers.
She was credited with breathing a fresh lease of life into the show, which films in The Helix in DCU, after joining Niall Breslin, Kian Egan, and Jamelia in the rotating red chairs.
Despite admitting to never watching the show before becoming a mentor, the Limerick-born singer made it to the final stages with her talented contestant Kellie Lewis.

Explanation ….
Hey TeamSats!
I just thought I’d take a few minutes to explain my situation and how it’s obviously affected the site in the last month!
As you have probably noticed the site has not had the regular updates that I try and do. This is down to a number of reasons, the main one being that my role at work has been changed slightly and where as before I’ve been able to sit down for 15-20mins at the start of each day to check for updates, this is no-longer possible. So updates should have shifted until late afternoon – when I get back from work – but alas I have a University exam next Monday, which I’m very under prepared for so that has been taking up my evenings!
Obviously this isn’t planned, but sadly work has decided to remove my main working place over the summer and now I’m working in many different locations over the week which has hampered the ability for morning updates!
To add more complications to the updates, as some of you might be aware, my girlfriend has now got a job in London and is moving in with me this weekend. Which is amazing, but has obviously (and rightly so!) got in the way with the website.
I plan to get everything back up and running the best I can in the near future, but hopefully you can all understand that life needs to have priority over The Saturdays, as much as we all love the group we do need to put ourselves first from time to time and for me this is one of those times!
I promise the 2015 Calendar Competition will be coming before the weekend, hopefully today, but if not tomorrow!
Thanks for your understanding!
