CONS CIOUS CONSUMP T ION M C R O T RE N D

Due to convenience culture it has enabled mindless consumption with fast fashion and bad quality garments that do not last which then end up in landfills. However, more consumers are abandoning the ‘more-is-better’ mantra drawn up by the unchecked capitalism by previous generations - creating more meaningful materialist mindset which will be the future of this trend. Moving forward, with more thoughtful and ethical consumption on the rise, Key to Eureka will find competitive advantage of incorporating CSR into their production processes and with the demand from consumers will therefore gain their interest and loyalty. We will also be working with UK non-profit organisations such as Greenpeace to work towards reducing unsustainable consumption.

MINDFULNE S S MEN T LI T Y M C R O T RE N D With increased pressure from society in this generation, more and more consumers are feeling the stress and anxious from their daily life. In order to support mental health and wellbeing, more people are turning to making their lifestyles more simple and relaxing to adapt to their demanding situations in everyday life. Key aim is to create positive mindful mentality and steer away from negative thought patterns. Actions such as daily meditation, use of virtual reality as an escapism tool, digital detoxes or friendly therapy sessions can work for some people. Moving forward, Key to Eureka will create a community for our consumers to feel they can join to make change on their life to be minimalistic and help to create an impact with wider spread knowledge and contributing positively on social issues and better themselves.

35


SIMP LE SL O W-LI V ING MICR O T REND With our fast-pace lifestyle in society today, we are overwhelmed by the vast amount of products and ‘stuff’ to offer in our lives that we have forgotten what it is like to have less. Less stuff. Less stress. Less expectations. Less to do. Less to be. Less to prove. According to Erin Loechner, slow living is a duality of caring more and caring less - working out what’s worth caring more about and letting go of the things that aren’t. Every person will approach this in different ways but Key to Eureka will encourage, advice and educate those on how to live mindfully, getting in touch with their personal values, letting go of excess clutter in our homes and cultivating self-awareness to allow positivity to radiate productivity and happiness.

36

38


TOTAL T R NSP RENC Y MICR O T REND By making consumers more informed on supply chains, production processes and transactions that garments go through to get the finished product to them, consumers are therefore more likely to understand the issues that are caused in clothing industry and more likely to take action in their own consumption and sustainability. Key to Eureka will implement this and allow consumers to have a better understanding of the overall ethical consumption processes and where prices come from and educate consumers on what goes on behind closed doors in business. This will create advantage in gaining consumer trust by sharing this with them and encourage better conscious/ethical purchasing decisions.

CONCEP T S TORE We will be launching our first concept store in London near Covent Gardens which will allow customers to experience the Scandinavian/ minimalist lifestyle and ethos through our store . Also with such a popular tourist location it will help spread the awareness of ethical consumption and our values in creating a more sustainable future. Our concept store not only will showcase our first Scandinavian and minimalistic collection but will offer consumers a place to enjoy some fika time and other mindful and ethical attractions. Fika meaning to have coffee, it is a concept, a state of mind that is a part of the Swedish/Nordic culture for a coffee break. Our concept store is different to others as we focus on the consumer's state of mind and wellbeing and the ethical causes we are passionate about mixed with the simplicity and minimalistic atmosphere of the store.

62

KEY TO YOUR FUTURE


Changing rooms will be a visual experience, with the Key to Eureka logo lock to be the shape of the changing rooms doorway.

There will be a coffee shop area in the corner of the concept store for consumers to experience 'fika' throughout their day, as Scandinavian culture is very serious about their coffee.

There will be a bookshelf wall of minimalistic lifestyle magazines and coffee table books to support ethos. The bookshelf unlocks and opens exclusively to members only and is a place to relax the mind with the use of virtual reality where consumers are open to mindful, educating and relaxing experiences.

"Don't give up. Normally it is the last key on the ring which opens the door." -Paulo Coelho

On one of the walls is a machine that gives out little pieces of cards that consumers can take and also gives a little memo for them to keep to remind them of their experience in store and leave the consumer feeling inspired or informed.

Daily motivational, advice or facts about mindfulness or perspectives on ethical consumption or quotes for consumers to keep in their wallet or in a safe place to remind them of us, our values and an overall encouragement for the wellbeing for our consumers.

A little area in store in the coffee shop that showcases Scandinavian design and architecture/ interior providing more of Key to Eureka's ethos and creating the minimalistic feel and cosiness.

The tone of voice and content on the website is welcoming, educational and positive making it an ideal publication to work with and could potentially be an opportunity for both to work together in the future on a weekly publication for the Key to Eureka stores. The Good Trade has readers from all over the world, therefore a blogpost feature on the website to raise awareness of the brand would be beneficial for Key to Eureka.

HELL O! FA SHION With Hello! Fashion's monthly publication, many readers in the UK would choose Hello! Fashion as an inexpensive magazine to pick up and with it's aim to feature the latest trends and fashion, there is a good opportunity to generate awareness from a popular magazine company and with our inspiring story and good cause.

CONCL USION To conclude, Key to Eureka will become a meaningful, mindful and strategic brand with great potential if they implement this 12 month communication plan to help them build awareness and spread awareness of ethical fashion consumption and sustainability. With the opening of the concept store and pop-up box tour, it will get consumers involved and intrigued and curious on how ethical consumption can be incorporated and educated in a fashionable way. In future, Key to Eureka will look to expand more of their stores across the UK and into Europe the following year and eventually make their way internationally overseas such as the USA market. Going into the European market should be successful, with the minimalistic and Scandinavian inspired designs that will most likely prove to be quite popular in Nordic countries like Sweden and Denmark since it is a root from home. With the expansion this will allow more awareness about ethical consumption to be spread helping to fulfil our vision of unlocking joy through modern and functional designs that inspire a minimalisticl lifestyle and mind-set towards a more ethically consuming society.
