JUICY COUTURE REBRANDING by Bri Young

Executive Summary We at Juicy Couture, have developed a strategic initiative, a pop up shop in the city of LA. Through the use of different marketing & advertising, new products and a temporary location- we are offering current and potential customers in Los Angeles, CA and around the world, the chance to engage all five senses in a pop up shop. This initiative addresses our need to put Juicy Couture back on the map as one of the worlds best brands. Currently there are zero physical stores, and very little engagement on social media platforms or traditional advertisements, and this is a missed opportunity and if not corrected, it could make Juicy Couture a brand of the past and not the future. The Juicy Couture pop up shop focuses on the need to create positive word of mouth in the American market as well as test a physical location that we have determined has the sales potential, and build brand awareness. Our market research supports that this is the right time to engage in this initiative especially considering that there are no more physical stores in the US, and Juicy Couture product is only sold in Kohls & online. We are aware that the things needed for this initiative are expensive, but we anticipate a high sales volume since we are placing this pop up shop in one of the busiest location in California. If successful we see this as a positive driver of our online sales, as well as a starting point to re-open more shops around the world in the future . With the success of this initiative we have the potential to come back strong, and become one of Americas favorite brands. 2

Analysis S

Juicy Couture is a brand that has been known for the quality of their products. When a consumer thought of Juicy Couture, it was for a lot of things, and quality was one. Juicy Couture, although with the recent issues, has always been around, so longevity is their strong point. The company also has great prints and a product assortment, very eye catching and of great quality, as well as product assortment ranging from bedding to shoes.

As a company Juicy Couture has many weaknesses. Currently their pricing is at a high of $698. As a company that is not popular at all, these prices are an issue. With the past trading of the company, the brand has lost itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zeal. The average 20ish year old is not likely to purchase products that are at a high of $698. Another weakness is the recent close of all their brick and mortar stores, Juicy Couture currently has zero stores, and is sold online only and in Kohls. That creates an issue because consumers not only have a high price point they have to pay if they want the product, but also, there are no stores here in the U.S for them to see the product, and try it on. Also, when a consumer thinks of Kohls, they think a good price, but not necessarily a good quality product. This creates an issue for Juicy when they want to re-open new stores in the U.S, the consumers might not cling to that idea right away, because they will see Juicy as a brand that

sells to Khohls. Not only that, but since Juicy has recently changed their products style, the once popular brand for their apparel has gone down. Their product assortment is not only too broad, but also not diverse. They have far too many prints, not enough silhouettes, and does not fit their demographic. Because the consumer is so used to the brand that is known for track suits, re-branding to the consumer with a total change in their look, creates an issue. Juicy Couture did not properly introduce their new brand to their consumer, in the right marketing that is suitable for a 20ish year old. Re-branding is not an issue, the issue lies in the poor research of their demographic choice. If they researched better, they would have found that the average 20ish year old does not have that type of money that they are asking for their products, as well as that type of girl is not wearing prints and/or silhouettes that they have introduced.

There are many opportunities that Juicy Couture has for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. There is a new demographic that they are now reaching out to, and that brings lots of potential. Unfortunately they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t producing the right product for their demographic. An opportunity can be to rework their products, to fit the 20ish girl they want to reach out to. The demographic that is chosen now is one that might be in college, or just starting a career, and the price points that they have arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly reasonable ones. This is another opportunity that Juicy Couture can have, reworking their price points to fit their demographic today. Marketing strategies as well as creating new incentives for customers to shop, are another way for Juicy Couture to become stronger as a business.

There is plenty of opportunity in this area, ways they can strengthen themselves in the fashion industry is trying a different approach to getting the customers attention. For example, having giveaways, or activities online, or even doing an actual pop up shop for consumers to see the product in person versus online.

The comeback of brick and mortar stores is a huge threat to Juicy Couture. Many companies such as Amazon are realizing that it is not enough to simply have an online presence. Especially in the retail market where consumers like to touch and try on products. There are many womenswear apparel companies in the market today which is also a great threat to Juicy Couture who is trying to find their place in the market today. With customers having so many companies to choose from when shopping, they are likely to select one of the many companies that offers a similar product at a much lower price point or a company that has popularity and prestige among their peers.

PRODUCT 20

Juicy Couture has a wide assortment of products. Currently they are marketing a complete look to their consumers. A company that used to market solely perfume, or a handbag, is now marketing heavily on apparel. This gives their consumers an idea of how to put together their individual edgy/chic pieces.

Direct Marketing Initiatives

Currently, Juicy Couture has an option for consumers to sign up for their free Couturist email. Through this, they send the consumer exclusive coupons, email alerts when there is new product & any new marketing for Juicy Couture. Juicy Couture also has their samples featured in Birch Boxes, and have a live chat option for their consumer to contact a representative with any questions or concerns. Due to the fact that Juicy Couture is only sold online and in Kohls, there are no recent findings of them having a sales incentive for their employees.

6 Month PromoPlan For the months of December-May, we will post on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. For Facebook we will post at least once a day informing everyone know about the new pop up shop coming to LA, as well as any photos of the shoppers and events we have in store during the pop up shop. On Twitter, we will post a few times a day, and Instagram, at least once a day. The email blast will be sent out in the months March-May. How we will collect customer emails, is by asking this information at the register before they check out. This gives us their email to send coupons, as well as our look book with our S/S 2015 pieces, to share with friends and family. Our Pandora ad will be shown

December-May, making consumers aware of the pop

up shop before it opens, and keeping it fresh in their minds after it closes. Our sponsored IG ad will have the same time frame as the Pandora ad, and give the same information as well. We will place the billboards beginning of December and take them down at the end of March. The ad will tell the customers about the pop up shop, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location and when it is open.
