week 8 eoc

Most people have a strong attachment to their bags because they have a strong feelings about they bag. it also make them a part of higher status in life."For many women, purse shopping has changed from just finding an adequate accessory to being almost an obsession; a guilty pleasure.” (Brand Story, Joseph Hancock. Pg.126)
theres alot of fashion company i like out there, but some of them i cant afford. If I had to pick my favorite brand i would pick nudies. nudies bags are cool and stylish made with 100% raw denim jeans and handmade.
I think the company has definitely found their niche with children’s bags. its seem like they more focus on kids bag more now. thats they really big income. to me the their website that I really like, where they put up photos of their bags with celebrities. I think they have found a really great way to brand themselves in a cool way. they pay people to take picture with famous people using there bags.
I think it was brilliant that the company decided to pursue graphic design as well as bag design. cant really go wrong with graphic design and hand bags perfect combo. i think the brand is all that and more when comes to bags. who really designes bags like that now nobody. its a good thing and bad thing for them. for me im a dude so i dont have a bag (laugh). but if i had a bag it would laptop bag and i would buy of here bags for that.

I want to be the next Johnny cupcake. I really like how he branded his self like that. “The Johnny Cupcakes success story is extraordinary. By the ripe old age of 26, Johnny Earle had launched a multimillion dollar company that continues to grow through a type branding referred to as viral fashion branding. All of Johnny’s fashion branding has been implemented through self-promotion, word of mouth, or by using electronic methods such as e-mail and the internet.” (Brand Story, Joseph Hancock, Pg.109) For my clothing company I want to be able use viral fashion branding as a means to promote the company I want to do a lot Facebook and blogs, giveaways to get my name out there. ROM shirt will have quality, uniqueness, customization, and pricing. Another one of our strengths is our uniqueness.

boc week8

i been thinking for a long time for now of a great product. somebody should really make a pair of sunglasses with wiper on them. that would be so sweet because just picture yourself walking or running early morning it started to rain really heavy. why should you stay in and miss your workout. thats when wipe away comes in handy. so while you run or whatever you doing in the rain. the wipers will wipe off all the rain or dirty from your sunglasses. wipe away will turn on automatic when ever water or anything that wet hit it. alot of people can use these likes cops,golfers, people that play tennins or people that go fishing. they would be the coolest shades out there. a nice cool laid-back look comes in all colors and styles. even the lens comes in different colors with a mix between ray ban and oakley shades.

week 7 eoc

Viral Fashion branding is a type of company branding that becomes successful by self-promotion, word of mouth, or by using electronic devices. how johnny use it he made tons of money at a young age. no marketing company help him market his company. see you dont it right you can make a lot of money. but if you do it wrong your company can fail. he created a loyal customers base on his own terms
Johnny Cupcakes do a lot of little things to make their customers feel special. The company added surprises to the boxes when filling internet orders. Customers would find items such as trading cards featuring ninja turtles, Ghost busters, when people order stuff. to me thats pretty cool to do that. that will make the customers super happy. the product line and marketing campaigns continue to reflect Johnny’s passion for popular culture. Many of his T-shirt designs mimic ideologies that are reflective of twentieth –century style and popular logo design
In my opinion Johnny Cupcakes is a very unique brand. I think his story is amazing. He is a very passionate individual that built his brand fast and smart. but i dont really like him its designs are cool as hell. why i dont like him because i see myself in him some what. like the whole line thing and all. he beat me to the punch. but he just make me come even harder with my new designes.

week 6 eoc

The one thing i hate about a&f stores to much of that smell gets me and they need to turn the lights on. I feel that they have very youthful trendy looking clothing that has been popular for several years and seems to continue to be popular. I think that they keep that certain laid back, relaxed. “A&F attaches traditional outdoor and rugged iconic patches on sweaters, pants, and denim garments, which have allowed the retailer to gain strong brand recognition.” (Brand Story, Joseph Hancock, Pg 92)
the atmospherics like music, fragrance, lighting, and stores props can either help the overall brand message or it can hurt it. i think it hate the hurt the company in the long run. at first you didnt really see a lot of urban people on the displays and everybody hella skinny like they dont eat. so when teenage see this make them want to be skinny like the models.
i really hate that obnoxious smell and loud music gives me a headache, I think its too much and it hurt my eyes alot. i think they intimidate their customers by using extremely attractive models that only make their target market to hurt they body to look like them.

boc: week6

Most of Luxury Company now selling jeans are made in the united states. That’s why they cost of 300 hundred dollars. “Americans bought $13.8 billion of men's and women's jeans in the year ended April 30, according to market-research firm NPD Group. But only about 1% of jeans sold in the U.S. over that year cost more than $50”.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303365804576429730284498872.html?mod=WSJ_LifeStyle_LifeStyleFashion#printMode
another reason why people spend so much on over price jeans is because the name. people want to feel like they rich and want to be like they favorite celebrity. “Most premium jeans' cotton denim fabric comes from the primary maker of high-end denim fabric used in the U.S. and Europe: Greensboro, N.C.-based Cone Denim, a unit of the International Textile Group.” http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303365804576429730284498872.html?mod=WSJ_LifeStyle_LifeStyleFashion#printMode
when people noicted how much the jeans really cost than they might think about spend a lot of money on they jeans. Pretty much the company is making a lot of money off they customer. Its cost some companies like 50 dollars to make there jeans than turn around and charge 375 dollars for one pair that’s crazy. For an example True Religion ‘It costs about $50 to make a pair of Super T jeans, True
Religion's best-selling style with oversized white stitching. But they wholesale price is 152 and the price that they is 352. Wow that’s crazy huh.
