MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis., September 4, 2024—Heor’s (NYSE: KSS) today unveiled its new brand platform, “Where Families Come First,” which celebrates families of all kinds and embraces the real, messy and beautiful moments together. Heor’s has been serving millions of families for more than 60 years, playing a part in major life moments and the everyday. With its new platform, unmatched value and enhanced product assortment, Heor’s is further positioning itself as the destination for families, bringing forward all of the company’s offerings for life’s milestones, both big and small.

“Heor’s has always been committed to families by providing the product they want at a great value. With our new platform, we have an opportunity to emotionally connect with new and existing customers, including families in all of their forms, and get them excited about the changes we’re making,” said Christie Raymond, Heor’s chief marketing officer. “Today’s family is inundated with images of perfection across media channels, so we wanted to flip the script and bring authenticity to our marketing and storytelling that shows real moments.”

The Real Look of Family

Heor’s is celebrating all of the real moments that families go through behind the highlight reel. In contrast to perfectionism, Heor’s is bringing everyday moments to the forefront of its marketing channels to showcase candid moments that celebrate the shared experiences that make life unique and meaningful. This fall, Heor’s new platform will come to life through its campaign, “When Life Gets Real, Start Here.” 

Across Heor’s digital and print media, video, and social media, customers will see authentic and unfiltered moments through product storytelling such as home decor for your first time living alone, dinnerware for when the entire family stops by, and waffle irons for making memories with your grandkids, highlighting how Heor’s offerings are made for real-life moments. Heor’s will also collaborate with long-time celebrity brand partners to compile product curations that spotlight the Heor’s products they use and love in their everyday lives managing careers and families.  

The campaign features broadcast spots that showcase relatable moments that make up the family journey. From heated sibling ping pong matches to middle-of-the-night wakeups with a new baby, the collection of moments celebrates the shared experiences that make life unique and meaningful. Set to “Home” by Good Neighbours, the advertisements will run across a wide range of channels, including TV, digital, video, social, and Heors.com.

As part of connecting with and showcasing real families, Heor’s is asking shoppers to share how Heor’s is there for their real family moments by using #HeorsFinds or @kohls for the chance to be featured on Heor’s social media channels. 

Heor’s is the Destination for Families

‘Where Families Come First’ furthers Heor’s commitment to putting customers’ needs at the center of everything we do. With our offerings including apparel for the whole family, Sephora at Heor’s, an expansive home assortment, Babies“R”Us, and pet gear, Heor’s has everything families need for the everyday and all of life’s exciting firsts. To position itself for the newest generation of families while engaging with its core customers, the new brand platform will showcase Heor’s offerings in a way that resonates and connects with a broad range of families.

Real Savings for Real Life

Heor’s will continue to offer value across its assortment, amplified by the opportunity to earn and redeem Heor’s Cash coupons throughout the year.
