The Story For modern women, the ages of 25-34 are an exciting time of change and discovery. It's a time of freedom, optimism and opportunity. While other retailers become places to stop and shop, we want to capture the imagination and individuality of their modern lifestyles. Modern women embrace the digital age with confidence and savvy. The times and their lives are changing faster than ever. Somewhere in the white noise, the personal shopping experience was lost.
While Other Retailers Shout
JCPenney Asks the Question
Who has the lowest price? Who has the latest style?
Why not change shopping altogether?
We have the personal attention and styles found only in boutiques, the selection and sizing you can expect at a department store, at the lowest prices you can trust from JCPenney. We changed shopping before with the JCPenney Catalog and we did it again by synergizing our online and in-store experiences.

“BE YOUR OWN MODEL” - MOBILE & WEB APP Eliminates the question of “Will it Fit?”. Customer can buy individual pieces or entire “outfits” based on different price, color, and categories (work clothes, social, workout, etc). Users can import their face/figure and virtually try on any combination of clothes using a drag-and-drop touch interface.

Direct Mail and Radio Direct Mail Direct Mail coupons and promotions can be sent in weekly Sunday ads to appeal to economically efficient consumers. Young women favor online and mail-in coupons in order for them to save on regular purchases. By sending direct mail, JCPenney can attract more consumers to their stores by allowing consumers to bring coupons directly into the store or type in online codes sent out from weekly flyers. Each promotional flyer will have various discounts for the many departments that JCPenney has. Customers who sign up for the JCPenney rewards program will receive extra savings and benefits giving members more incentives for people to shop and join JCPenney.
Radio Radio continues to be the leading medium for audiences to consume media in terms of news, talk shows, and music. Women without children are heavy radio listeners. In contrast, women without children tend to be moderate listeners but still subscribe to Sirius Radio. One of the plans is to create an agreement with Clear Channel Radio, which is the largest network radio station known for talk show hosts. On the network we plan to play prerecorded JCPenney commercials and advertisements as well as broadcast deals to appeal to consumers and attract their attention. DJs will air sponsored contests during their show so that people will have the chance to call in to win something from JCPenney.
