Marketing Proposal: Company Comparison

Name of organization: Vogue Category: Fashion/News Target audience: young-middle aged women Objectives for marketing plan: less stuffy, lose the stigma, more relatable, strong ad campaign for selling more magazines Objectives measured through increase in sales

For our marketing project our group decided to focus on Conde Nast’s publicationVogue. Due to the fact that our group members are all interested in fashion we hope to further Vogues business and expand their clientele. We hope to find a new, younger market for the magazine, which currently can be stuffy and hard to relate to. With the magazine/print industry not at its best we hope to stimulate Vogue’s sales and popularity with a fresh and updated marketing plan. *Possibly by creating a smaller magazine with less ad space and more content.

OR

Banking on the current dessert/cupcake trend all over the city, we want to help Heavenly Cupcakes be the best and most popular bakery in the area.

We will advertise to caterers, coffee shops and restaurants, party planners, large city businesses [hosts of company parties, galas, and benefits.] Create bust stop billboards Magazine ads Social networking sites Strong word of mouth by industry insiders Food Network spot

Company Analysis:

Nordstrom

“ Nordstrom to acquire online retailer for $180 million” A formally singe store operation, Nordstrom- the high-end department store recently announced its large investment in online retailer “ HauteLook”. The rumor is that the sale took pace at around $ 180 million dollars worth of stock. Considered to be a fairly small deal, Nordstrom plans to utilize Hautlelook to increase their online sales, considering the company specializes on flash sales of designer merchandise. The company will remain in Los Angeles under the direction of its founder Adam Bernhard. The question is… what does this mean for Nordstrom’s future? This directly affects the management side of things because Nordstrom is forming a general partnership with Hautelook. While this form of business may be the oldest it still has its disadvantages. While analyzing this deal form the position of the general public we are unaware of the type of contract Hautelook and Nordstrom are involved in, it is safe to say that despite the initial appeal, there are going to be a few bumps along the road. While Nordstrom capitalizes on the luxury clothing market, it has still managed to find a way to expand its already large company. The chain of quality department stores decided to buy Hautelook as a business strategy. Because of the recession that previously hit, and is still affecting most of America, private online business were doing much better than your average shopping mall. Who’s to say that the deal Nordstrom made with Hautelook will actually benefit the company as they are hoping? With the economy slowly beginning to pick up, there is no word yet on how online businesses are gong to respond. Hautelook is not the only private sales site of its kind either; Rue La La and the

Gilt Group also offer high end products for exclusive, and reasonable prices. These sales they stage are fast and furious; some last only a few hours, and offer considerable mark downs on designer brands like Gucci. The type of partnership that Nordstrom plans to participate in could possibly be beneficial though, it was sold for what is considered a reasonable amount and should be easy to put into action. This merger will also hopefully add capital as well as take advantage of the growing online market with the help of talented individuals outside of Nordstrom. However, while there seem to be many plus sides to Nordstrom’s latest business adventure there are plenty of downsides. What happens if Hautelook as a lone business goes under? Where does that leave Nordstrom? There is a definite potential lack of continuity in this partnership, which could cause considerable damage especially if Hautelook’s contributions are worth noting. It’s safe to say that as the economy suffered, stores like Nordstrom noticed that online companies seemed to be keeping their heads above water with what seemed like considerable ease during these trying times. According to Mr. Nordstrom, “ the company had long considered creating a site in- house but was attracted to Hautelook’s team, technology and already established business. [I.e. a positive when considering partnerships] Seems like the perfect set up. However, retail experts are having a difficult time attempting to predict the growth of these private sale venues. So all in all the future of Nordstrom’s partnership with Hautelook seems to be up in the air.

Media Report: Prabal Gurung

Fashion designer Prabal Gurung has officially changed the way the world sees fashion, and I mean literally. On February 15th, at 11:30 am select editors were given a chance to view his exclusive fashion show online only. Public relations firm KCD has selected Gurung as their first designer to try this new method out with. The runway show lasts six minutes and incorporates a mix up close shots as well as what the view would be from the audience. Not only does this video contain just the show but it also has a clip of the designer himself talking briefly about his creations as well as a short segment on the hair and makeup on the models. Currently KCD has high hopes for the future, which include posting more runway shows online in order to alleviate the congestion…on the Fashion week calendar.” Critics have their doubts wondering if an online video will even come close to showing the quality and beauty of the design, however the collects are usually available for viewing in a separate showroom after the show, which a viewer unsatisfied with the online version can always check out. I find this idea to be fascinating. First of all KCD is just capitalizing on an idea that has been around for a while. Many designers will post clips of their shows on style sites right away, however in this case Gurung’s show is strictly online; there is no option to see it in person [besides in the showroom- which means off the models.] The thing about posting real runway shows online is that the general population gets to see them right after the fashion world executives, which is a huge bonus, and it appears that KCD wants to limit general access to their shows by only airing them on a password protected site- bad for us fashion students. By taking the live audience away from fashion shows venues as well as designer using them lose money, there is no admission price, and that could potentially put hundreds of people out of work. What about the DJ, the lighting

crew, the stagehands, the onsite dressers, catering? The list is really endless. Plus I know its 2012 but it really takes the fun out of fashion- the humanity if you will. Any of us can sit alone at home and isolate ourselves in front of our computer screens, and I don’t care what KCD says it’s not the same. From a marketing perspective I’m not sure what will happen, in a way I think this is a great idea, but because this is the industry I hope to get a job in one day, I really hope everything doesn’t continue to relocate to online.
