- Our store will be opened at Liberties Walk in Northern Liberty. Liberties Walk is a mixed-use development area with a village feel. There are many stores to shop along on the bottom with apartment buildings on the floors above. The area is very friendly, calm and relaxing which suits the laid-back style of our shop and hipsters. There are quite a lot of individual shops and some restaurants in this area. It’s like a small neighbourhood. We think those shops can help attract our target customers.Our store will be located in the middle of Liberties Walk cornering North American Street as well. People will be able to see our window displays when they drive along North American Street.
- For our store plan, and according to our US team, our store will be estimated at a score of about 300 squarefeet. The size should hopefully coincide with a similar footage to hotel rooms. If customers are to walk into the shop, they should be able to view our newest arrivals which are displayed on a 3-level stack display table. On the left-hand side of the front door, there will be 2 mannequins on display; one male and the other displaying what we have in our collection. To the right of our entrance, is the cashier’s desk. We have made sure that somebody would stand at the entrance, to welcome everybody into our shop. To be able to greet our customers, has always been our first welcoming policy.The shop will be divided into 3 areas. The left half of the shop will be for men’s clothing. T-shirts and shirts will be hung on the racks. Bottoms, such as jeans and trousers will be kept tidily on a glass-made display table. The same setting applies for the women’s apparel which will occupy the right half of the store. At the back of the store, there will be 2 wall modular cabinets displaying accessories like hats, belts and bags. And there will also be 2 wall shelves. Glasses in which many hipsters like to wear will be displayed on them, and just for their optional choices.
- Plants, Flowers and Art
- For the look and feel of the shop, we chose to go for a simple but stylish ambience so as to respect our ‘minimalist’ concept. The atmosphere will be very laid-back and humble, just like the neighbourly area of Liberties Walk, where there is precluded feeling of relaxation. The shop is stylish but we will add the vintage elementto it. Our store will value a sense of space as well as respect the cleanliness of a store.We will use earth-tone colours such as grey and brown as the main theme of the shop. These colours are unisex which, should hopefully coincide with our ‘hipster’ and trendy customers.The shop will use ambient lighting which, should not be too bright and not too dark. The lights will be very soft in effect. We would like to infix several funky spotlights above our new arrivals and to the the clothes racks as well.We will also put focus on music Therefore, our shop will be constantly playing newly emerging and independent music, such as, for example, Com Truise’s “Brokendate”, Tearjerker “Rare” or Chairlift’s “Met Before”. This is to relate our concept towards our target market, simply because of their uniqueness and their fashion choice.
- URBANITE will follow an aggressive yet creative marketing promotional plan.This will allow us to focus directly on our target customer while still being conservative with our advertising dollars.We have selected 5 methods of promotion. That includes: media kit, flyers/postcards, spot radio advertisements, direct mail program and social media applications. Lets have a further look into them.
- Our media kit will be composed of fact sheets about ALTERNITE’s business and its products, common questions and information regarding its management plus any other newsworthy information. In addition, we will attach three different types of advertisements. It will be distributed online to provide the essential information about our company.
- We will create three different types of ads: cut-out 10%discount offer, invitation ad, and showcase ad presented in three versions: female, male and unisex collections.
- We have also decided to create 2,500 full-color postcards that will include 10% discount, 150 grand opening invites that we will directly send to our new potential customers, and 3,000 business cards with Loyalty Card at the reverse side.
- Our opening event will held a special event that is a local band performance. (Band name) will play their most famous and recognizable songs such as (…). Our aim is to go beyond a normal fashion store and create a chilled hipster atmosphere while launching. In a long term we would like to be perceived as a laidback store where shopping after work will be a form of pleasure to our targeted market.
- Here you can have a look at our timeline of opening event. Now, boys will continue introducing you to our online promotion strategy.
- Alternite will create a page on facebook,an account on twitter and Pinterest. Our daily updates on these mediawill keep our target customers close to the hipster trend. All users are free to upload information and pictures about hipster in order to exchange concepts and boost the popularity of hipster. People who like our page, share our hipster design with their friends and regularly offer us some constructive comments are also able to receive an exclusive 10% discount. Such online coupons with discounts will definitely attract their amazing hipster looks.And forPinterest, it serves as a platform to organize and share all the hipster itemswe find on the web. We believe that Hipster fans would definitely love to share their views on their fashion experience there, especially hipster style because Pinterest is a relatively more popular social medium amongst young hipster in Philadelphia. Therefore, browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.With the promotional power of these social media, our brand Alternite can easily reach our target customers. Also from time to time, we will launch online advertising. Appealing design and attractive models give a positive image to the public. Eventually Alternite will be more familiar to our target customers day after day and become an alternative of fashion style for them. Alternite will not necessarily want people to shop at our store, but to promote the positive image of hipster as well as our brand.
- People can upload their hipster looks to Facebook or Twitter to win an attractive cash coupon up to USD$ 50 every week! We will have a weekly contest and choose who is the best look of the week. The picture with the most LIKE will be likely to be HIPSTER of the Week and the winner can not only receive an attractive cash coupon up to USD$ 50 , but also enjoy a privilege experience at our store. For those we like their hipster pictures, they will also receive an exclusive 10% discount on their visit within a month.In this sense, hipster fans become more willing and eager to share their fashion experience and promote our brand to their friends.
