ProSom For Sale

July 30th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Case Studies, Fashion

ProSom For Sale, by Freddy J. Nager, Founder & Fusion Director, Atomic Tango LLC

As an L.A. based interactive-media guy for the past 14 years, buy cheap ProSom, I'm expected to blog about sexy new developments online or in Hollywood, but today I've decided to write about Mervyns department store. And, ProSom from canadian pharmacy, yes, that's the only time you'll ever see the words "sexy" and "Mervyns" in the same sentence.

Ah, I see I just lost 98% of this article's readers -- which reflects about the same percentage of consumers who couldn't care less about the fashion retailer. And that explains why Mervyns recently declared bankruptcy, ProSom For Sale. Since the economy's been Bushed again, buy no prescription ProSom online, it's easy to point fingers at macroeconomic issues, and that's exactly what Mervyns' management is doing... In filing for Chapter 11, ProSom pharmacy, Mervyns chief exec blamed the "state of the economy and difficult operating environment for our industry."

Sorry, but Mervyns started sucking the wind out of shoppers long before the economy turned south. So why has it sucked so much. Well, have you actually been inside a Mervyns lately, purchase ProSom online. ProSom For Sale, While Mervyns carries Levi's, Nike and many of the same brands found in happening retailers, the ambiance couldn't be less inspiring: cheap lighting, unimaginative displays -- only Sears' attempt to be the Jiffy Lube of fashion retail is less inviting. It doesn't appear that Mervyns has hired an interior designer since the '80s, when Montgomery Ward's was a retail leader. Note to Mervyns: Montgomery Ward's bit the dust in 2001. Australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay, Basic lesson: learn from the failures of your competitors.

Now, I'm not expecting Mervyns to be as classy as Nordstrom's or as creepily erotic as Abercrombie & Fitch. Those stores serve a completely different segment -- high-end, trend-oriented consumers -- while Mervyns targets the budget conscious, ProSom For Sale. But on that note, shouldn't Mervyns at least be as appealing as Target, buy ProSom online cod, the hippest option in discount retail. Target, after all, Where can i order ProSom without prescription, was Mervyns' parent company before 2004. I know teens who love dropping by Target, but wouldn't be caught dead inside a Mervyns, despite the youthful multimedia "Declare Your Style" campaign. (One campaign does not a brand identity make.) Basic lesson 2: learn from the successes of your competitors, ProSom price, particularly if one of them is your former parent company. ProSom For Sale, Even though the prices at Mervyns are good -- the store is in a perpetual clearance sale -- the retailer is still losing customers to Target and Wal-Mart. That's because, in terms of sheer volume and efficiencies alone, ProSom over the counter, Mervyns can't compete on the basis of price with those giants. By trying to compete with the big boxes, Mervyns is simply giving up profits and devaluing its brand.

So that's where we find Mervyns: nowhere.

In marketing, australia, uk, us, usa, canada, mexico, india, craiglist, ebay, we call this impotency a "positioning failure." A position is where a brand stands in relation to its competitors, as perceived by the consumers. Mervyns can't compete on the basis of price or trendy fashions, so it's stranded in a nether zone between the retail hell that is K-Mart/Sears and the trendy-discount nirvana that is Target /Forever 21, ProSom For Sale. In other words, Where can i find ProSom online, we've got a marketing failure on a massive scale.

What should Mervyns do. Here are some Cool Rules Pronto ideas:

1. Focus: When you try to be something to everyone, you usually wind up being nothing to anyone, online buying ProSom, as Mervyns is learning the hard way. ProSom For Sale, They've tried to target moms, teens, men, Latinos, suburbanites... Having too many targets dilutes your identity and your marketing budget.

Rather, ProSom from canadian pharmacy, Mervyns should identify a valuable consumer segment that's being underserved and go all-out in trying to satisfy their needs to the exclusion of everyone else. That's right: success often means kissing other consumer groups goodbye.

So in fashion, forget the youth market: teens and twentysomethings are overserved by everyone from Abercrombie to Aeropostale to American Apparel, etc., order ProSom, etc., etc. One "Declare Your Style" campaign isn't going to propel you to OMG status, ProSom For Sale. The competition in that segment is hyper-intense and far more edgy than thou (as demonstrated by the live topless male models standing at the entry of some Abercrombie stores). Rx free ProSom, And don't even think of trying to appeal to the wealthy: Mervyns could spend years and tens of millions of dollars on advertising and never be mentioned in the same breath as a Neiman Marcus or even an Armani Exchange.

So who's being underserved. Based on my cursory observations at The Grove shopping center in L.A., I noticed thirtysomething moms lingering on the periphery of a Forever 21 while their teen daughters eagerly plunged into the brightly lit, multi-colored fray, buy ProSom online no prescription. ProSom For Sale, (And, yes, when you're my age, you tend to notice the moms.) Occasionally, one of those moms wandered through the racks and glanced at a few items, but then retreated to her position as Keeper of the Credit Card. So I'm guessing there's this segment of young moms and thirtysomething women who would love an affordable brand of stylish clothing that they can wear to work or out on the town that's less stiff and expensive than Banana Republic, but a little more sophisticated than Target. I see boutiques serving this niche, Buy ProSom without a prescription, but nothing at a retail chain level. Just a thought...

2. Rebrand: Mervyns encourages consumers to declare their style, but the entire company itself needs a head-to-toe makeover -- indeed, it's needed one for 20 years, ProSom For Sale. Not keeping up with aesthetic preferences in an aesthetics-driven industry is a recipe for bankruptcy. I'm surprised it took this long, buy cheap ProSom no rx.

Once a company identifies its target consumer segment, it needs to create a unique, distinctive image that appeals to that segment. Buy ProSom from canada, Note that "unique" need not mean over-the-top bizarre: it can result from a confluence of influences. ProSom For Sale, For example, what kind of music does the segment listen to. What kind of ambiance invites them to select a particular coffee shop. What magazines do they read, and what is distinctive about the graphic design in those magazines. What TV shows do they watch, buy ProSom without prescription, and what is distinctive about the tone and style of those shows.

Once you've acquired that information, hand it over to a professional branding or ad agency with a reputation for creativity and trust them to create a new image for you. Don't try to do it yourself, ProSom For Sale. Order ProSom from mexican pharmacy, Company executives should no more try to rebrand themselves than they should try to give themselves haircuts. Their lack of objectivity, and their MBA-cultivated obsession with spreadsheets, will likely cause them to miss the creative target.

Finally, ProSom samples, once that style has been "declared," it needs to be integrated everywhere, not just in the ads. ProSom for sale, The entire operation, from the corporate logo to the music playing over the intercom to the atmosphere in the dressing rooms, needs to reflect this style.

ProSom For Sale, 3. Connect: Looks aren't everything, even in the fashion industry, buy ProSom online cod. A brand also needs a voice, particularly in this era of tech-powered social interaction. The ideal is to pick some "brand ambassadors" who are members of the target consumer segment. Purchase ProSom online, Now, some marketing consultants will tell you that the only "authentic" brand spokespeople are the company's owners or top executives. My view, ProSom For Sale. Unless your CEO is as charismatic and media savvy as a Steve Jobs, keep him or her out of the picture. You're better off with a professional actor or even a talking gecko, where can i buy ProSom online. For example, the last thing a fashion brand targeting women needs is a brand ambassador that's an old white guy in a suit.

That doesn't mean you have to rush out and hire a celebrity. ProSom For Sale, They're expensive and need to be strategically selected and handled (a topic for another blog). Buy ProSom from mexico, Sarah Jessica Parker, for all her box office success and appeal, wasn't the best choice for The Gap's twentysomething demographic. No one believed that she actually would wear Gap clothing out in public with her thirtysomething and fortysomething peers.

Rather, online buy ProSom without a prescription, I suggest hiring professional writers and spokesmodels from your target segment to serve as bloggers and social network reps for your brand. Don't be covert: if you venture onto MySpace or Facebook, it's better to have your brand ambassadors openly state their ties -- isn't that the point. -- than to pretend to be a "friend" with an ulterior motive, ProSom For Sale. Buy generic ProSom, Deceptive "guerilla" marketing simply sets you up for a backlash (see my blog post, Are You For Real Monica Rockle. A Facebook Marketing Case Study).

Rather, hire people whose personalities reflect the brand identity you wish to establish, then have them interact directly with consumers. Along with a segment focus and a makeover, a few choice brand ambassadors could help Mervyns shed its stodgy image.

Wrapping Up... ProSom For Sale, Note that this is a quickie solution confined by the limits of this blog. (And the fact that I'm not getting paid for it.) A comprehensive marketing plan, based on thorough consumer and competitive analyses, is necessary.

The point is, when your company gets into some hot water -- or some deep, murky, quicksand like substance, as in the case of Mervyns -- don't blame the economy. There are many companies in every industry making money even now. Rather, use failure as a cue to undertake some no-holds-barred, full frontal self-reflection. And if you're Mervyns, some better lighting might help you see what's going on, ProSom For Sale.

Update 10/3/8: Forever 21 just put in a bid for 150 Mervyns stores. Who knew that the opposites I mentioned in this article would attract. Says Christopher Lee, Sr. VP of Forever 21, "Our vision has always been to get a bigger box." Nothing is certain yet, but the best bet is that Forever 21 will convert many of those Mervyns and put the rest out of their misery.

Update 10/17/8: ProSom For Sale, Mervyns has decided to give it up.

Update 12/13/8: Forever 21 will take over 15 Mervyns sites and Kohl's will take over 31. The remaining sites will likely be returned to landlords.

Shameless plug: Need to give your business a brand makeover. Contact Atomic Tango....
