Abstract The handbag industry is an ever-growing industry with a vast number of designers and stores. Women are inundated with so many handbag choices, that finding a way to differentiate Juicy Couture from the competition is important to increase sales and brand awareness. Juicy Couture is unlike the competition in that the brand is fun, edgy, and glamorous, and versatile enough to use for any occasion. Creating a campaign to highlight Juicy Couture’s differences, and redefining the target audience, to successful women ages 22-35, will allow for increased brand penetration. Utilizing media that appeals to women in the new target audience will engage them in the brand and create a connection to harbor brand loyalty. Social media is a staple in the lives of the redefined target audience, so utilizing all platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter will spread the brand news and sales promotions to as many women as possible. Print and digital magazine advertisements will benefit the campaign because women read magazines for pleasure and to feel a sense of reward. For the digital advertisements, women will have the ability to interact with the ad to engage them and reinforce the sense of reward.

The advertisements will be fun and edgy, just like the Juicy Couture brand. The color and typography choices will reinforce the brand feel and set Juicy Couture apart from the competition. The Juicy Couture logo has been around since the brand’s inception; therefore updating that will create a new improved brand feel to appeal to the new target audience. Overall the Juicy Couture rebrand campaign will create increased sales and brand recognition.
Target Audience Women ages 22-35 are style savvy and need a handbag to match their lifestyle. These women are established in a career, or recent college grads starting out for the first time. They enjoy looking glamorous and showing off luxury items. Hobbies include hanging out with friends, grabbing drinks after work, going shopping on the weekends, and enjoying life.
Women who ‘like’ the Juicy Couture fan page on Facebook and ‘follow’ the Juicy Couture Twitter feed have the ability to ‘share’ the updates with all their Facebook friends and Twitter followers. Spreading awareness by using ‘word of mouth’ marketing is the best way to reach a broad range of women, and it is also a free way to market a product. Women enjoy interacting with a brand, and research shows “80% of women share photos, videos and links online1.” What better way to spread the word than allowing the target audience to promote the brand to their friends and acquaintances?
Media Outlets Social Media
Social media website usage has been dominated by women, which makes it a worthwhile asset to promote the Juicy Couture brand. Marketing research shows that 58% of Facebook users are women, and 62% of Twitter followers are women1. This information reinforces the need to have a presence on these social media sites to appeal to women in the target group. Utilizing a Facebook fan page and Twitter account will spread awareness of Juicy Couture handbags and promote the product in a positive and fun light. Juicy Couture will also utilize Instagram as a way of sharing fun pictures of Juicy Couture handbags and models using the handbags in different locations, to represent the brands versatility. Sales and special promotions will be announced via social media to help reach as many women in the target market as possible. 1
