The initiative will run through the holiday season of 2014.

COMPANY SUMMARY

COMPANY SUMMARY BRAND AS A PERSON

Miu Miu personified would identify a young, eclectic individual. She is very quirky, yet still ultra-femninine and playful. She is a has a downtowner soul with a wealthy background of old money. She has a glamorous western European sense of style.

Her lifestyle is spontaneous and creative; but appreciates high-quality luxury products, status pieces, and exclusivity with her purchases.

COMPANY SUMMARY BRAND AS A PRODUCT

Miu Miu carries a wide range of merchandise. Miu Miu consists strictly of womenswear merchandise. We offer ready-to-wear, handbags, accessories, shoes, eyewear, and jewels. Miu Miu’s product consists of high-quality, luxury goods.

COMPANY SUMMARY BRAND AS A SYMBOL

Aside from the obvious symbol of Miu Miu’s logo, there are plenty of visuals that are derived from or associated with Miu Miu’s style. For example, the patterned or embellished socks worn with colorful or printed heels occurs almost every season for Miu Miu. Prada and Miu Miu are both known for using Madras leather for handbags and accessories. Matelasse textured nappa leather is also commonly used on Miu Miu’s handbags. Miu Miu has introduced many recent trends; the decorative removable collar being one of the most memorable.

COMPANY SUMMARY BRAND IDENTITY MATRIX

The brand identity matrix shows many things about Miu Miu. First, the personification of Miu Miu helps to inspire the product assortment, visual merchandising, and the color story. If Miu Miu embodies a spontaneous, girly, and quirky individual; a basic color assortment with fun pops of color is most appropriate.

The “brand as a product” and “brand as a symbol” categories are important because they act as a justification for the product assortment. The staples and iconic styles will always be huge drivers of sale. If Miu Miu is known for specific types of leather and texture on handbags, those specific items should be included in the pop-up shop. Otherwise, the consumer will enter the pop-up shop and see merchandise that seems foreign to the brand. Consumers want to leave pop-up shops with something that embodies the brand’s aesthetic.

Examining the brand as an organization is integral to understanding how to plan and act within the standards of Prada Group. Understanding the history and roots of the group is necessary to understanding the basics and staples of the Prada Group.

MARKET POSITIONING PRICE/ACCESSIBILITY MATRIX

MARKET POSITIONING PRICE/ACCESSIBILITY MATRIX COMMENTARY

Eleven luxury brands that listed in the chart are general competitors Miu Miu had. They are Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Fendi, Hermes, Prada, Burberry, Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Giorgio Armani. As we seen, the luxury market in Bogota, Columbia is continue growing. It will be an opportunity for the brand, Miu Miu to expand their business in South America after Brazil. Currently, Miu Miu had 133 direct operation stores and only ship to 20 countries. They have total average price point of USD$1,680 which is pretty low compare to other competitors as well as accessibility.

For the accessibility, Versace only have 123 stores compare to Miu Miu’s 133 stores.

CURRENT DISTRIBUTION

CURRENT DISTRIBUTION

The table (left) shows the distribution for Miu Miu and its volume of sales for each channel. Dos means directly operated stores. We can see that DOS makes the most sales and money with 80.3% of sales. By January 31 2013 Miu Miu’s directly operated stores had made $421,067 (amount in thousands of euro). As for independent customers and franchises it constitutes of 19.7% and by January 31 2013 Miu Miu’s wholesale and franchises made $91,695 (amount in thousands of euro).

Prada group over the years has developed a strong network of directly operated stores alongside franchise stores and a significant presence in selected high end multi brand stores and luxury department stores. The wholesale channel (department and multi-brand) guarantees a number of points of sales in prestigious locations on key markets.

This sales channel has been recently reviewed with the aim of being more selective in order to achieve synergy with the retail network expansion and to maintain the positioning and internal image of the brand. As a consequence the number of points of sale has decreased considerably.

COMMUNICATION & PROMOTION “Effective communication is key to building and maintaining a unique and powerful brand image. From impeccably executed fashion shows to award-winning advertising campaigns, Prada group continues to successfully create an appealing and cutting-edge image that attracts an international customer base. Strong editorial coverage of Prada and Miu Miu, featured prominently on hundreds of covers of the most important fashion magazines worldwide, contributes to the visibility of both brands’ products.”

MARKET ANALYSIS LOCATION OVERVIEW

In growth-rate terms, Latin America’s luxury sector should expand 10-15% annually by 2017, slightly slower than the 15-20% average growth chalked up in the20072012 period, but a robust result nonetheless.

By 2022, Latin America should account for 7% of luxury brands’ total sales (including apparel), up from 3-4% now.

The number of Latin American “buyers” (to distinguish those who buy abroad instead of locally), should double to around 8%. (bain & company)

Latin America has a growing class of highly educated professionals that is aware of global brands and trends and is becoming part of the global elite - high-earning educated professionals that in developed markets account for some 20% of the population.

In Latin America, this new group of well-heeled consumers makes up for 12-15% of the population. They are mainly in Brazil, which is said to be generating 100 millionaires a day (in US dollars), but increasingly in Mexico, Argentina, Chile and even countries like Peru, Colombia

MARKET ANALYSIS LOCATION OVERVIEW

and Uruguay.

Pedraza notes these consumers buy luxury in the same way others do around the world. “They like more vibrancy and colors but they still buy the Gucci’s, Burberry and Louis Vuitton’s of the world,” Pedraza says, adding that there is a uniformity (as related to other global elite consumers) when it comes to wearing the trendiest brands. (ccp)

As for Colombia the luxury market has seen a 30% growth in the last 5 years. An actual proper size of the luxury market was unavailable but here is the growth and estimate of what it represents. Many luxury brands have opened their first store in Bogota between years 2011 and 2013. CPP luxury industry management and consultants Ltd estimates the current value of the luxury fashion sector is of $250 million dollars with a potential to be USD 400 million, including brands which are not yet present as well as shopping abroad.

MARKET ANALYSIS LOCATION OVERVIEW

The following graph represents the retail sales in Colombia from January 2012 to July 2013.

MARKET ANALYSIS

The chart (left) shows the Global retail development index. The index shows the top 30 emerging markets. It shows the market attractiveness, country risk, market saturation, time pressure and changed in rank compared to 2012.

Latin America has taken a dominating position in the GRDI, occupying the top three positions and seven of the top 30 overall. A strong and growing middle class, controlled inflation, sustained economic growth, and continued economic and political stability have increased consumer and investor confidence and created a favorable environment for retail development.

The expanding middle class continues to offer important growth opportunities, particularly as the retail footprint expands beyond main cities into the second and third tiers, where consumers increasingly prefer modern retail. And many local and regional retailers are providing strong competition for many of the international leaders. For example, Chile’s Cencosud has expanded

MARKET ANALYSIS into neighboring countries, gaining strength in markets such as Peru and Colombia.

This year we also see important shopping mall activity.

Brazil’s Village Mall and JK Iguatemi and Chile’s Costanera Center have served as platforms for the launch and expansion of international brands in Latin America.

Colombia (18th) reaches its highest GRDI ranking since the first Index in 2002. Long-term growth prospects appear strong, and strengthening domestic capital markets could reduce the economy’s vulnerability to external forces, particularly the U.S. economy. Steady GDP growth (about 4.2 percent per year since 2001), low inflation rates (3.2 percent in 2012), moderate deficits, a floating exchange rate, and a strong political consensus on major economic policies give ample reason for optimism in coming years.

Portuguese retailer Jerónimo Martins began operating in Colombia at the start of 2013, with plans to open 30 to 40 new stores and invest $523 million in Colombia through 2015.

When analyzing the GRDI (global retail development index) in the gain of points since 2012. Colombia shows a +5.

The only countries that grew at the same rate were Mexico, Turkey and Kazakhstan.

MARKET ANALYSIS

After analyzing all of the data above there is no doubt that the economical growth in Latin America is high and all the luxury brands have it on their radar. As for Colombia we can say that the country has a high retail development and a steady economic growth. The middle class is growing giving a lot more space for luxury items to expand. The potential Colombia has is huge CCP gave an estimate that it could grow to USD 400 million. In the last 5 years the luxury market has grown a 30%. I am sure that by 2014 their GRDI will increase positioning them into “on the radar” ranking.

Luxury brands are starting to make their moves to Bogota, Colombia’s capital. If this economy keeps growing and the estimates are right Miu Miu needs to start making a presence in this emerging market because some of the competitors such as Loewe, Carolina Herrera and the few others we will mention in the key players section already have a competitor advantage.

Brands that are included in Le Collezioni are Prada, Balmain, Fendi, Salvatore Ferragamo, Zegna and Hugo Boss. Luxus is the second largest muti-brand operator, one at the airport and three in Bogota.

Miu Miu opened two new stores in Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, first time reaching out Spanish speaking consumers and this will be the starter for our pop-up shop.

Second, it will be easier for local consumer to visit the store instead of traveling to the state and purchase product. From the first quarter of last year, Miu Miu had increase 30% sales growth rate which is reaching total of 107,3 million euros. We believe this new location will have a high potential growth for the brand.

STORE LOCATION We have chosen to do our pop up store in Bogota the capital of Colombia. There are 8,262 million people that live there. There birth rate is 17.23-births/1000 population and the population growth rate is of 1.128% (2012) The age and gender for 2012 is divided as follows 0-14 years: 26.2% (male 6,069,920/female 5,793,672) 15-24 years: 18.4% (male 4,229,436/female 4,093,638) 25-54 years: 41.4% (male 9,235,821/female 9,471,854) 55-64 years: 7.7% (male 1,615,175/female 1,875,025) 65 years and over: 6.3% (male 1,198,524/female 1,656,014) (2012 est.)

STORE LOCATION AREA ATTRACTIONS/FACTORS

We have decided to place our Miu Miu pop up store at a mall called Centro Comercial Andino. The address of the mall is Cra 11 # 82-71. In this location we can find the most expensive restaurants, stores and apartment buildings. Bogota’s society is divided into stratums. The different areas in Bogota have a number, this is the stratum. It is divided from 1 to 6. The area we have selected is a stratum 6 area and the target market of the restaurants, stores and malls is stratums 5 and 6. Generally a family of a social status of 5 and 6 is comprised by 4 or 5 members.

The incomes can vary; stratum 5 can make a minimum of $150,000 a year and stratum 6 $300,000 a year.

The area is always busy there is no season that is affected negatively. December is the busiest month since people are buying Christmas presents. The amount of people in the area in December can rise up to 25%. We would also argue that weather is a key player in stability of the area since Bogota is between 18 to 20 degrees Celsius every day of the year. The area is surrounded by 3 malls one of them being Andino, and busy streets full of stores. Inside the mall we can find Longchamp, Coach, Bvulgari, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Frey Wille, Dolce and Gabbana, Zegna, Bcbg, Facconable and Burberry. In the other 2 malls and the streets we can find

STORE LOCATION AREA ATTRACTIONS/FACTORS

Carolina Herrera, Tous, Hugo Boss, Le collezioni, Versace, Max Mara and Cartier. The mentioned above are competitors already present in the area. The area not only has the best stores but restaurants, bars, clubs, and cinemas.

Stratums 5 and 6 never use public transportation; this is why the area is full of parking lots. The 3 malls have 4 floors of underground parking and the neighborhood has at least 20 more parking lots. Public transportation such as taxis can get you to the area. Buses and Transmilenio (bus rapid transit system) drop you off near the area and you can walk a few blocks to get there.

The exact location of our pop up store will be just outside the entrance of the mall. There is a “plaza� like area that looks like a hexagon. This part is the entrance to the mall and parallel of another mall and the important street. The mall has a foot traffic of 1.7 million people monthly.

COMMUNICATION PLAN

MARKETING PLAN

Miu Miu will employ an array of techniques in order to attract the most public possible. The promotional plan will start 6 weeks before the launch. The promotional activities will start with Print ads, Billboards and Social media. Print ads and billboards will be taking part in all the process-starting week 1 until our post launch.

Print ads: in our target customer section we were able to see the magazines that our target market reads the most. In the word cloud that we produced can we can clearly see that we need to promote the launch of the Pop Up in magazines like Elle, Vogue and Semana. Since Semana comes in weekly, we will have one print ad in there every issue. Elle and Vogue of course will be Latin America edition, which are the ones they get there.

MARKETING PLAN Social Media: Our Facebook, Instragram, and Youtube channel will have a countdown. Every day, they will discuss the exciting launch of the first pop-up shop in Colombia. As we could see in our survey, our target market uses Facebook and Instagram the most. Their favorite websites in the survey and they mentioned a lot El tiempo. This is the Colombian daily newspaper. We will have a banner in the website with the number of the countdown. This way all the people that are going online daily, they can see when is the date. We are creating a lot of suspense and excitement when doing a countdown. It’s a very good tool to use to create anxiety.

Billboards: There will be two billboards one in the airport and the other one just outside Centro Comcercial Andino were our pop up shop will be located. It will say “ coming soon Miu Miu pop store. For more information visit their Instragram and Facebook page”

MARKETING PLAN

Television: The Colombian news has every night an entertainment section. The 2 most watched channels for news are RCN and Caracol. In the entertainment section the Miu Miu pop up shop will start to be mentioned four weeks before the launch date.

Cocktail: For the pre launch we will be hosting a cocktail.

The cocktail will be located in the last floor of the Centro Commercial Andino. This is the newest addition to the mall.

We will be offering champagne and showing our latest film “Le donne della vucciria� the film perfectly portrays our brands and shows the coats and shoes we will be offering in the pop up. We will also be giving invitations to everyone that comes to the cocktail.

MARKETING PLAN THE INVITATION

Translation: “Miu Miu has the pleasure to invite you to our Pop up shop. 1st of December 2014, centro comercial Andino. We hope to see you there. People that attend to the launch and purchase will receive a small coin purse.“ Launch: At the launch there will be champagne and the people that make a purchase will get a gift. The gift will be a small coin purse. This will be going on for the 1st week.

MARKETING PLAN POST-LAUNCH

In the middle of the third week, Miu Miu will host an after party. Prada group tends to always close important events with an after party. The party will be hosted a club called Club El Country. The club is very beautiful and high end. There will be a Dj and complementary drinks all night. The Dj will be Mario Ochoa #1 Dj in Colombia, he plays progressive music and Tech House.

FINANCIAL PLAN BUDGET FOR EXECUTION

FINANCIAL PLAN SALES FORECAST

FINANCIAL PLAN Centro commercial Andino has monthly foot traffic of 2.7 million people.

Our pop up shop will be there for a month. We have divided this in order to get daily foot traffic and then multiply this number by 7 to get a weekly traffic.

The conversion rate is 2% so we have multiplied this by the weekly foot traffic in order to get a number of units that we would have to carry. In total we are carrying 3500 items.

We have divided each category and projected what percentage would we sell of each. We put those numbers because in the report we are able to see Miu Miu’s percentage in sales for each of these categories.

FINANCIAL PLAN

In our projected sales, we have one week that we will be loosing money since it’s our set up week. After that we made an average of the prices by categories. The categories are Handbags high, Handbags low, Small leather, Shoes, Ready to wear and eyewear. Our projected revenue comes from the units we will carry weekly and how much do we think we are going to sell times the average price for category. Our total projected revenue is 12.196.800.

As for our budget we will have a loss in week 1 since we said above will be the week to set up. The minimum monthly salary of a sales associate in Bogota is $600.00 . We will be paying them a full package that includes health insurance and performance fees. This will total to $1.200 per sales associate monthly. They will be working with for 5 weeks so the extra week is $300.00. We will have 2 sales associates working with us so staff service will be of $3.000.

We have quoted with a full design service company in Bogota. They will charge us to build the pop up, design and furnish (with our own supplies) $4.000.

In order to get our merchandise inside the country La dian (division de impuestos y aduanas nacionales) will charge us 15% of our total merchandise. The only permit we need is to sign up with them and its cost free.

FINANCIAL PLAN

•To rent the space in Andino they are going to charge us $250 meter squared. Our store will be 100 meters squared. The price to rent the space per month will be $25,000.

•We are planning to also rent a storage place near by they will also charge $250.00 per meter squared. The space will be 10 meters squared so in total it will be $2.500.

•Our costs of good sold has a margin of 70%. We found this number in the Annual report.

•Promotion costs events we have a cocktail and the afterparty.

FINANCIAL PLAN

•Promotion costs advertising we have print, billboard and television.

•A full page in Vogue Latino America cost $ 33,000 •Humos, organizacion de eventos empresariales will be the company responsible for all the parties and cocktails. They will charge us $150.000 for each Moet bottle. $150.000 for blue label whiskey and $100.000 for wine (red or white) •Renting the locations we want plus decoration and staff service will cost us around 30,000 a night.

CONCLUSION After analyzing the market in Colombia we can see how there is a big economical growth going on and with an expectation of growth higher. The country is a lot more stable and there is a huge potential for the luxury market. As CCP established there is a potential of $400 million. The middle class people are making more money moving towards status 5. The awareness of the brand is already present. We could see in the word cloud for favorite brands that there is a high demand for Miu Miu products. Some competitors are already established in the area and are doing really well. The location we have selected is perfect since it’s a high-end area and all the competitors have established themselves around the area. The mall has a 1.7 million foot traffic monthly with a conversion rate of 2%. All of these factors make the Pop up shop in Bogota a very promising project. Our projected sales are very high and our projected revenue will be of 13.960.800.
