The Fashion Channel

We live in the generation of fashion and technology. Our wants fashionably override our needs in life. The Australian fashion industry has come to expect a huge splash from Sportsgirl at the Melbourne L’Oreal Fashion Festival, and 2005 set a new benchmark. Ideally, the business will come to the customer by promoting their brand through the launches

Also the CPM will increase to $2,5 because of a dual targeting. In addition to this the average Rating will increase from 1% to 1.2%. Cons: To ensure that there were selections aimed at both segments; Wheeler needs to spend $20,000,000 more on programming. Because of the determination only on this two segments it can be that the number of the loyal viewers of TCF will decrease. Exercise 3: If you were Dana Wheeler, what would you recommend and why? If I was Dana Wheeler I would recommend TCF that they should adopt Scenario 3. However, Scenario 3 has a few disadvantages. For example the possibility to lose some loyal viewers and furthermore TCF has to spend $20,000,000 more on programming which means investing a lot of money for them. But in my opinion, in Scenario 3, the benefits exceed the disadvantages. On the one hand through this Scenario the Net Income will increase more than $100,000,000. In addition to that the CPM will increase to $2,5 and the average Rating will increase from 1% to 1.2%. On the other hand 50% of all US Television Households consist of Fashionistas and Planners/Shoppers. In these two markets the 18-34 year old female audience represents 50% and 25% of the cluster respectively. TCF should therefore increase the advertising revenue. The Scenario 3 is better than the Scenario 2 because Scenario 2 only focuses on the Fashionistas

Throughout this assignment I will be carrying out an in-depth case study of Stylist magazine. This will encompass a detailed analysis of the key aspects of the fashion publication; covering its history, target audience and ownership to ABC figures and competitors.

The Fashion Channel (TFC) was a widely available niche cable network which only offers fashion-oriented programming. It was very successful until other regular networks began to copy its concept and take market share of it, which as a result, had a severe negative effect on TFC’s advertising revenue and affiliate fees. The problem is how to develop the segmentation and positioning, change the current

The comprehensiveness and appropriateness in the data from exhibit 12a and 12b for the segmentation analysis are very accurate and on point. The questions asked in exhibit 12a, the segmentation variables, are really right

With our main objective in mind, we have proposed an Integrated Marketing Campaign that is geared towards our target market of young adults. By choosing alternate forms of media that appeal more to our younger target market, we can place Macy’s in these customers’ evoked set. For example, we plan to use media outlets such as social media websites, television, magazines

The problem that “THE FASHION CHANNEL” (TFC) faces is the selection of the right market segmentation and positioning strategy in order to maintain its position as a leader in fashion related networks, in addition to boosting its advertising sales and viewership ratings.

The fashion industry is rapidly growing and constantly generating new fashion trends almost weekly. Fashion for some may seem ridiculous and unnecessary; but fashion is not just a meaningless usage of article of clothing or farcical materials sew together for coverage. There is more to fashion than meets the eyes, fashion is precious and significant. It is a reflection of self-image, it speak the ream about who we are and how we review ourselves. Not only is fashion the reflection of self-image but also the reflection of our history as Coco Channel have said, “Fashion is not something that exist in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Fashion

* The consumer market is not brand loyal basing most purchase decisions on in-store promotions and sales staff recommendations.

Today we live in a world driven by relationships, first impressions and visual communication. As human beings we have a tendency to instinctively allow ourselves to react by what we see and feel at a specific moment, making such reaction unpredictable and capriciously volatile. Studying relationships is of extreme importance because when we understand why public and individuals react to stimuli in a certain way, we can try to manipulate the outcome. This is why Public Relations plays a crucial role in the fashion industry as it is a field of work that is driven by consumers needs and desires. By understanding the targeted audience, we can actually control commercial, marketing, and creative outcomes of a specific fashion organization. This piece of writing will explain and analyse the role and importance of public relations and Communication in the Fashion Industry.

When a brand is created, many will ask the questions that haunt all of us trying to start a company. Will it work? Should we stay online or launch a brick-and-mortar store? Will I make profit or fail? These questions arise even more when the company is to start only online. Because of this, e-commerce fashion brands must constantly evolve and expand their styles to maintain the interest of their target customers. Fashion Nova is one fashion brand that manages to stay relevant among its consumers because of their edgy style and quality priced clothing. Fashion Nova was first established in 2010. It gained its popularity from celebrities promoting it on their social media platforms and the fact

2) Which research method was most helpful to you in developing and evaluating the segmentation options?

The Fashion Channel (TFC), founded in 1996, is a successful cable TV network dedicated to all things fashion. Although quite young compared to other TV networks, TFC has experienced steady growth and in 2006 forecasted its revenue at $310.6 million. TFC operates primarily as a niche network, focused solely on fashion and fashion related programming, but still manages to reach almost 80 million US households that subscribe to cable and satellite television. To date TFC has been able to experience growth in spite of having no clear segmentation, branding, or positioning strategy. Dana Wheeler, a recent hire as TFC’s Senior VP of marketing, was tasked to fix this.

Although segmentation, targeting and positioning can be viewed as similar and parallel, it is important to distinguish these three concepts so to fully understand each of their roles.
