TABLE OF CONTENTS


We felt that as an extremely successful vertically integrated company, Zara was missing a product category that could bring them a whole new variety of consumers. With the introduction of lingerie to Zara’s existing product assortment, we would offer an exclusive collection that fully emphasizes the look and feel that is the Zara brand. The product line will be featured in Zara Women’s with new products being introduced into stores bi-weekly along with other new merchandise.

PARTY INVITATION


LAUNCH PARTY 37


Visual window displays are a key way for Zara to advertise the new lingerie product line. Zara stores are located in central city locations that allow for opportune free advertising for the store. With the launch of the new line, the window displays will be exclusively lingerie, showcasing the new products.

38

VISUAL WINDOW DISPLAYS


The in-store displays will feature the lingerie line within a specified region of the store. Each lingerie style will be showcased either hung on the wall or displayed on tables. The sales associates within the fitting room will monitor the garments that the customer brings in, allowing all lingerie to be tried on aside from underwear.

IN-STORE DISPLAY 39


Zara produces lookbooks seasonally for each new collection. Their clean aesthetic is used to display highlighted pieces of the collection. This marketing tactic will be implemented with the new lingerie line.

Season Color Progression

Potential Product Expansion: Robes and Sleepwear

The lingerie line will advance through the season by following the color progression above. It will start with the soft palette of late summer and work into the deep tones for late fall and winter. A potential product expansion for the new line is to extend into robes and sleepwear. These new products would carry the same unique and edgy aesthetic of the lingerie.
