PROJECT RATIONALE A.P.C.’s FW 19/20 Collection Launch brings the concept of a garden party to another level. An outdoor catwalk surrounded by nature with luxurious lounges for the audience would be the main event. Other aspects of the event would be a popup store where attendees could purchase current and some of the future A.P.C pieces, and a bohemian bar / recreational area. As a companion to the event, A.P.C will launch their brand new exclusive app with features such as in-app buying, lookbook previews, and the event gallery to name a few.

LOW ACCESSIBILITY
A.P.C. has an interesting position in comparison to its competitors when looking at accessibility and price. With less than 100 stores worldwide, it can be said that A.P.C. has a low accessibility in comparison to brands like H&M and Zara, each with hundreds of locations worldwide. In regards to price, A.P.C. brands itself as luxury, with white t-shirts that are over $100. The complete opposite would be H&M where you could find the same type of shirt for less than $10 making it 90% less expensive than A.P.C.

MARKETING STRATEGY Maximize User Generated Content
As the application has a social aspect , tying in users’ posts with the gallery portion of the app encourages them to interact more with the app and with each other. This also helps the brand filter through what their consumers like and the percentage of that in regards to sales.
Collaborate With Various Fields
Most invitees to both the application and the event are in the Fashion Industry. There are models, stylists, creative directors, etc.. This (both deliverables) allows for there to be a space wherein connections are made.
Exclusivity
The event is guest list only and that goes for the application as well. This adds an air of exclusivity to those that make the list. It then becomes something everyone wants.
