OBJECTIVES
CORPORATE
Nudie Jeans (“Nudie”) strive to share their passion for denim with the fashion community and demonstrate socially responsible business practices.

Customers in this market are not looking for a ‘bargain’, but rather an addition to their collection or a boutique item, thus price would not be envisaged as a major hurdle in gaining sales.
PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY
In relation to promotions we believe an Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) strategy would be the best way to proceed. Through IMC the brand will be able to maintain a personality and attitude that communicates effectively with the target segment. It will also help to build a desirable ‘brand image’ and relationships with consumers and distributors. The marketing activities will be very specific. It will involve a range of communication mediums including advertising, media, public relations and sales promotion.
Our Advertising strategy will include the following:-
- Posters in boutique outlets;
- Billboards (See Appendix 1);
- Internet advertisements in addition to a website, for instance videos retracing Nudie’s origins and their objectives/vision, a wash guide or interesting experiments to illustrate the quality and durability of these jeans as a ‘second skin’;
- Fashion shows; and
- Having retail staff wear the jeans regularly.
With regard to public relations, endorsements can generate favourable public relations and free advertising for Nudie to promote the brand and its brand name. For example, support of Amnesty and human rights and Corporate Social Responsibility
The American Eagle Outfitters is known as an American clothing and accessories retailer created by the bothers Jerry and Mark Silverman. This retail apparel, manufactures and markets a wide variety of clothes, intimates, and accessories that permits the company to be recognized as a diversified brand interested in expanding its target market.

In order to take a closer look at the attractiveness of the premium denim category we can look at a Porters Five Forces analysis (Exhibit 4) for the premium denim industry. If you take this out of the context of the current economic factors, we see that there are relatively low barrier of entry and the high profit margins of the product can make it attractive to new entrants. As this is a fashion product there is consistent change in consumer perceptions of what brand is in style and which isn’t, as a result there is a constant influx of small designer denim brands hitting the market. The benefit that 7 for All Mankind has in this situation, is that they have a high brand awareness, which means that although there will always be a high number of competitors, 7 for All Mankind is positioned in the eyes of the consumer as a staple premium denim brand. If we take this Porters Five Forces analysis with the economic factors that are currently affecting the industry we know that the actual attractiveness of the industry is low, given the decline in sales, increase in raw material costs and number of entrants in
The entry of competitors in its market segment turned a classic to a lost case. How could a brand so appealing and well defined lose its luster? The sloppy approach of the brand to combat its competitors shows how tired the brand had been. For instance, the advertising done by Levi’s for its Silver-tab range was one of the most hated advertisement. It was considered to be ‘insulting’ and critics claimed that it ‘lacked branding’. Similarly, the advertisement to promote Levi’s low-rise jeans which was released in 2002 had also received a negative response from the
Founded in the 19th century, the Grand Jean Company survived the large economy crises in 1929. It became one of the largest clothing companies in the world around 1989.

Since 1950s, Jeans have become and continue to be a staple item of clothing in people’s wardrobes as a medium representing stylish identity and identification (Kramer, KR, 2006). People wear jeans for a range of occasions, from staying at home to going outside at a cinema, restaurant or even a working place. As a report from Mintel states, during the year 2006 and 2010, the percentage of adults who bought jeans had remained relatively stable with over half of them ( 51%) purchasing at least one pair in 2010 (Mintel 2010). At a time when the number of brands offering jeans has risen rapidly, Diesel, which has built an entire existence of passion, originality and creativity, emerges as a strong competitor towards the

In recent years we have seen many new brands and hence an increase in

“One of the most talked about ideas in marketing during the 1990s was the notion of integrated marketing communications (IMC). And while marketing managers still clearly feel that it is a valuable concept and one that will play an increasingly important role in their companies, there is unfortunately a great deal of evidence to suggest that truly integrated marketing communications is the exception rather than a rule”
The partners of “Beyond the Bean” pondered the idea of offering a limited selection of alcoholic beverages, primarily beer and wine. But this would mean that the business’s liabilities could increase, resulting in higher annual insurance premiums. The partners decided that in a café as Beyond the Bean it would be a better choice to avoid alcoholic beverages.
Several facts are changing in today’s marketing communications. Owing to the growing numbers of alternative communication media and promotion, marketing communication does not just primarily focus on advertising and promotion. Organizations and entrepreneurs begin moving toward the process of integrated marketing communication (IMC), which has emerged as a new concept and the major communication development in marketing in the 21th century. More and more companies adopt IMC to convey a consistent message about their brand and products to derive competitive advantage and brand value. In addition, IMC has developed into a beneficial strategy for companies to reach more customers as well as build good customer relationships. Smith et al.
