About
VisionDivulge Boutique’s v is ion is to give consumers a shopping exper ience that is unique. Adopting a gay male’s sensibi l i ty in the things we provide, Divulge Boutique hopes to int roduce the appeal ing and innovative fashion sense of the men f rom Castro and West Hol lywood to al l people.
MissionDivulge Boutique markets unique, f i t ted shi r ts and premium denim for gay men. With up-to-date technology to manage inventor y and stock, we are poised to generate prof i ts for growth. We educate employees in culture, divers i ty and management. Divulge Boutique supports the LGBT community and gives generously to the communit ies where we operate, donating a percentage of our sales to the San Francisco LGBT Community Center. E levated interest for business pr inciples and community responsibi l i ty is an essent ial Divulge Boutique phi losophy.
Onliness StatementDivulge Boutique sel ls men’s fashion f rom innovative and part icular designers that gay men prefer. I t is where fashionable, urban gay men wi l l be able to express thei r unique fashion sensibi l i t ies in a t ime of desi red individual i ty.
tArget MArket
Divulge Boutique caters to gay men ages 25 – 44 of al l races and ethnic backgrounds. These men l ive in the gay dist r icts of metropol i tan cit ies with income ranges f rom $100,000 - $149,000. They are an aff luent group of men with occupations in management, posit ions in retai l , entrepreneurship, or f inance.
The Divulge Boutique male is one that loves to t r y new things and has an adventurous personal i ty. Having an interest in global fashions is a plus. Art shows and museums are fun out ings for these men when they are not having a night on the town with thei r closest f r iends. Wel l known brand names are prefer red over thr i f t stores and out let stores. They love t ravel ing to places such as Los Angeles, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, New York, London, Dubai, Sydney, and the Caribbean; places with unique fashion tastes are prefer red. They love to shop at foreign stores but they do not forget to take in the s ights and see the var ious art gal ler ies around town. These men love to vis i t spas and unwind through yoga.
CoMpetitive AnAlysis
BODY BOUTIQUE uses a ver y basic font to def ine thei r store’s logo. The company uses al l CAPS in white sur rounded by red in blocks to def ine themselves. The red color is ver y eye catching and is a sexual color that can ent ice gay culture. From the logo type, there is no real impress ion left on the consumer and the brand image is poor. Some brands found there are Adidas, DKNY, Calvin Klein, Vans, Local Pr ivate Label, and Haviannas. The look and feel of the boutique is sport f i tness, basic, easy access, l imited f ixtures, and colors ever ywhere.
CITIZEN BOUTIQUE uses a ver y basic font to def ine thei r store’s logo and on the website for the brand. The company uses al l CAPS in f luorescent s i lver. The s i lver color is eye catching and in a statement color. From the logo type, the impress ion left on the consumer is quest ionable and the brand image is scattered. Some brands found there are Dior, Gucci, Jack Spade, Lacoste, Mavi, Adidas, and Diesel. The look & feel of the boutique is v intage, mid-west, unique look to f ixtures/visuals, t rendy yet sty l ish, conser vative, and bold.
OUTFIT BOUTIQUE uses a ver y basic font to def ine thei r store’s logo. The company uses al l CAPS in a moss green color sur rounded by a sk in colored wooden panel. The moss color is a statement color that gives the consumer some wonder. From the logo type, the impress ion left on the consumer is that the brand image is overwhelming. The brands var y and change seasonal ly. The look & feel is v intage, mid-west, unique f ixtures, cluttered, and VERY SENSUAL mannequins. The store is t rendy, eccentr ic, “ WOW ”, community af f i l iated, stand-out, and extreme.

CoMpetitive AnAlysis
Competitive Advantage
Pricing Strategy
Divulge Boutique’s product is something interest ing and excit ing for San Francisco customers. Divulge knows who it is as a brand and remains t rue to i ts values and overal l image. Two ways that we wi l l do this are through our community loyalty and visual presentat ion ins ide the store. We wi l l focus on f lashy visuals and gay culture. Divulge wi l l automatical ly draw in customers f rom our exter ior look and then lead them to a fabulous inter ior design. Divulge Boutique plans to market heavi ly in local San Francisco magazines, newspapers, and Facebook to create a social platform.
Divulge Boutique considers al l types of pr icing that wi l l help br ing in prof i t for the brand. Divulge’s market buying is determined by the markup of the products essent ial to both Divulge Boutique and the boutique’s customers. In order to compete with our competitors, Divulge wi l l have to understand what consumers are looking for, what they wi l l pay, and i f the pr ices meet thei r expectations.
logos
In i t ial ly, the concept for the logo was to use something f lashy and s imi lar to Papyrus. The or iginal logo was intended to be just the name of the company in a fancy theme typeface. However, Bout ique and the city of or igin which the boutique wi l l be located in was added.
The f inal fonts that were chosen are Champagne and Limosine in Bold for the pr imar y t i t le and Walkway Semi-Bold in Regular for the secondar y headl ine. The Divulge Logo can be used without the secondar y header in packaging and other market ing mater ials.

Diesel jeans are considered high-octane by some in the fashion-forward set. Diesel takes pride in producing unusual yet modish men’s and women’s casual wear. The company also makes sportswear and kids’ clothes, and licenses its name to makers of jewelry, watches, leather goods (handbags, wallets), eyewear, fragrances (Only the Brave, Fuel for Life), furniture, and footwear. Diesel’s products are sold in more than 80 countries through department stores and specialty retailers, as well as at about 400 company-owned Diesel stores globally. The company also markets its goods through catalogs. CEO and owner Renzo Rosso founded Diesel in 1978.

The story of premium denim is one that is intricately intertwined with the launch of 7 For All Mankind in Los Angeles, California in the Fall of 2000. 7 For All Mankind was the first company to truly bring premium denim to scale, marking Los Angeles, California as denims’ venerable center for research and development worldwide changing the landscape of denim forever. 7 For All Mankind’s premium jeans literally exploded onto the scene, quickly earning critical acclaim and an immediate following for its innovative use of fits, fabrics, and finishes in denim.

Brand Marketing
With the re-branding of Starbucks in 2011, the company has posit ioned itsel f for future growth. I have created a new brand extension for Starbucks, which wi l l cater to thei r cur rent consumers ’ love for Starbucks ’ di f ferent aromas. I wanted to target Starbucks ’ cur rent customers instead of t r y ing to gain a new type of customer. The concept I created is for a f ragrance and lot ion l ine f rom Starbucks to add to thei r cur rent products.
In the Brand Market ing course, I developed an ent i re f ragrance and lot ion col lect ion for the company. I t includes my understanding of product descr ipt ions, pr icing, placement, customer prof i le, promotional plan, and advert is ing plan.
The brand extent ion is cal led Starbucks Body. The col lect ion wi l l consist of two product l ines : Starbucks Per fume, which is based upon the f lavors and syrups Starbucks of fers, and Starbucks Lot ions, which is based upon the Starbucks Blended Crème Frappuccinos. This is a new idea for Starbucks to pursue that wi l l increase sales and revenue. Ever y Starbucks coffee customer wi l l love to have the aromas of Starbucks with them at al l t imes.
produCt desCription
Current ProductsStarbucks ’ cur rent cups provided inspi rat ion in making the new brand extension. The cups display the company logo, dr ink option boxes, and a “Caution Hot ” statement on the hot beverage cups. Also found on each cup is a “ Way I See It ” statement that was created by the CEO Howard Schultz. In addit ion, each cup is easy to hold and convienent for the customer.
Hot BeveragesHot beverage cups are white paper cups. They come in f ive di f ferent s izes : sample cup at 4 ounces, short cup at 8 ounces, tal l cup at 12 ounces, grande cup at 16 ounces, and vent i cup at 20 ounces.
Cold BeveragesCold beverage cups are see-through, plast ic cups. They come in four di f ferent s izes : tal l cup at 12 ounces, grande cup at 16 ounces, vent i cup at 22 ounces, and trenta cup at 31 ounces.

benefits, plACeMent, & risks
BenefitsThe Starbucks Body Col lect ion wi l l give the Starbucks customer many benef i ts. I t ’ s gourmet coffee aroma is for ever yone, having a coffee scent to keep one moving. Starbucks Body wi l l be a person’s dai ly luxur y and wi l l make a customer ’s exper ience at the store more pleasurable. They can ask themselves, “ What f lavor should I wear and dr ink today?” Overal l , the Starbucks Body Col lect ion can be descr ibed in three concepts : luxur y, h istor ical, and pleasure.
PlacementThe Starbucks Body Col lect ion wi l l be avai lable for purchase in a var iety of locations. The f i rst product placement for the col lect ion wi l l be in al l corporate Starbucks stores. I f the col lect ion does wel l in the corporate stores, Starbucks wi l l then al low thei r l icensed Starbucks stores to sel l the product. Eventual ly, the Starbucks Body Col lect ion wi l l also be sold on the Starbucks website.
RisksThe Starbucks Body Col lect ion would be a ver y benef ical and prof i table opportunity for the company, but Starbucks st i l l has to look at the potent ial r isks that could ar ise. Some could see this col lect ion as an attempt to use up some customers equity. This col lect ion is also not what Starbucks is known for and may cause people to quest ion the product. People may not understand Starbucks ’ reasoning behind this new product and may ask themselves where Starbucks is going with th is idea. I t may possibly hurt the Starbucks name and i f the product fai ls, Starbucks ’ reputat ion would suf fer.
CustoMer profile
DemographicsThe Starbucks customer is loyal, f ree-spi r i ted, and express ive. Thei r main target consists of young adults, 18 to 25, to adults, 30 to 45. They have an equal gender range of females and males. Thei r work ing income is f rom $60,000 to $100,000. The average customer is in thei r culmination stage and mainly caucasian. With such a wide range of a customer demographic, thei r customers are both Generat ion X and Generat ion Y.
GeographicsStarbucks is a large, wor ldwide company, so thei r customer ’s geographic locations can be hard to place. So most can be found in urban-metropol i tan and suburbian areas around the wor ld.
PsychographicsThe Starbucks customers have a wide var iety of pleasures and fu l f i l l ing l i festy les. They are extremely social, ver y outgoing, and fu l l of l i fe. They l ike to take care of thei r bodies and have a healthy out look on l i fe. Along with enjoying thei r coffee, they enjoy beauty essent ials. Having a good eye for shopping makes this one of thei r favor i te after work activ i t ies. They enjoy browsing and furnishing thei r homes.
proMotionAl plAn
Launch PartyStarbucks would host a launch party where Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, can int roduce Starbucks Body. With Howard Schultz host ing the party, he could discuss Starbucks ’ choice to create this col lect ion to explain the company ’s di rect ion of the new l ine. There would be many celebr i t ies at th is event, to promote the product. After the speeches and int roduction of the product there could be f ine dining and then a party with beverages and a DJ.
CharityStarbucks ’ CEO, Howard Schultz, wi l l also be host ing a char i ty event.At th is event, he would be invit ing celebr i t ies and company execut ives that are connected to the RED Foundation, an AIDS char i ty foundation. The event wi l l connect Starbucks Body with The RED Foundation by donating a percentage of the sales.
Social NetworkWhen a consumer becomes f r iends or l i kes Starbucks on Facebook, they ’ l l receive special announcements about the new Starbucks Body Col lect ion. There wi l l be posts promoting Starbucks Body. Once they add Starbucks ’ Facebook page, they get a “Buy One, Get the 2nd Half-Off ” coupon for joining.
Advertising plAn
BillboardThe start of the Starbucks Body advert is ing plan wi l l be placing bi l lboards in high t raf f ic areas of top market cit ies. This wi l l att ract many consumers and make a memorable impress ion quick ly.
NewspaperNewspapers are the or iginal advert is ing plans for most businesses. I t is a wel l-known American dai ly habit. This advert is ing wi l l be seen by Americans and others in foreign countr ies.
Public TransitThe bi l lboard advert isement can be better seen when placed on publ ic t ransit. This is reaching the publ ic with the product. This is another great tool for promotion, h i t t ing the busiest parts of cit ies.
ProductDevelopment
Lil’ Rockers
by Rock RevivalRock Revival has been a growing and prosperous comany s ince i t started in 2005. The company is now ready for future growth. I created a new product extension for the brand, which is centered on a consumer with chi ldren and young ones in thei r l ives. Specif ical ly, I targeted Rock Revival ’s cur rent core customers instead of attempting to gain a new type of consumer. I have developed chi ldren’s apparel for Rock Revival to supplement thei r cur rent sportswear and denim col lect ions.
In the Product Development class, I created an ent i re col lect ion of chi ldren’s wear for Spr ing and Summer 2013. I t includes l ine plans, product assortments, branding, and technical sheets. This is a student project of how I would see Rock Revival start ing a l ine for chi ldren.
About
About Rock RevivalRock - noun: A genre of music that represents f reedom of express ion and l iberat ion.
Revival - noun: restorat ion to l i fe, consciousness, v igor , st rength
According to the Rock Revival company prof i le on thei r website, “Establ ished in 2005 and based in Los Angeles, Rock Revival outf i ts the men and women of today - the new rebels - who forge a path of thei r own. Rock and Rol l is the steady heartbeat that pulses in the background of society ’s evolut ion, constant in i ts miss ion to inspi re. Rock Revival denim boasts impeccable f i t , innovative wash t reatments and super ior denim qual i ty . Detai ls such as f lowing st i tch l ines, back pocket reverse f leur de l is and hardware create a unique blend of rocker aesthet ic . I t ’ s a brand that sets i tsel f apart f rom the rest . ”
“Everyday we create denim that is inspi red by Rock and Rol l , the same Rock and Rol l that has broken down barr iers of race, class and gender ; and continues to inf luence att i tudes and l i festy les today.”
CompetitorsThe current chi ldren’s wear market is not dominated by any one brand. The companies that possess the biggest threat to Rock Revival start ing a chi ldren’s wear l ine are True Rel igion Brand Jeans and Diesel. They both have thei r chi ldren’s l ine resemble thei r adult l ine, which is exact ly what Rock Revival would do. Also, thei r pr ice points are both ver y s imi lar to how Rock Revival pr ices thei r products.

CompetitorsThe current women’s wear market is not dominated by any one brand.
