  • Guess had the highest number of views on the video that was Behind the Scenes: GUESS Kids Fall 2016 Campaign. Prada had highest number of view on the video of new perfume that had 3,169,898 views.   
  • The video Guess posted was successful because it gave a sneak peak behind the shoot of the video so the customers could actually feel as if they were their and watching them live. For Prada it was successful because this perfume was named after the famous American sailing team "RED MOON" or "LUNA ROSA" i.e also the name of the perfume.

PRADA - Content Marketing Idea

By: Gurpreet Gill


The brand idea that i choose is for PRADA as from all the previous blogs and analysis Prada has more amount of followers on all the social sires compared to guess.

Idea: 
  • The Marketing idea that i have for Prada is called "Spin the wheel" this promotion will work for all the followers on Facebook, all they have to do is every day they will be allowed to spin the wheel once in a day for the next 5 days.
  • The wheel will carry Top 5 selling products of Prada for 2016.
  • If a follower spins the wheel 5 consecutive and are able to get one same items at least thrice so they will get the item for 75% off.
  • This promotions will only be available only for those who have liked the Facebook page of Prada.
  • This promotion will surely encourage people to like the Facebook page of Prada and people would also share and forward the page to their friends or relatives in an expectation of winning the contest.
  • This contest will be played every year during Christmas 20-25 Dec and every year first 50 people will be announced on the Christmas night. 
  • The goal is to get 100,000 followers by 2017 as promotion of this event will start 4-5 months before the contest starts.

Louis Vuitton vs Gucci - Marketing Plans

Louis Vuitton

A marketing plan for Louis Vuitton would be to host a fashion show with various models and celebrities wearing outfits and accessories from the latest and upcoming fashion lines. A fashion show has been done many times but the venue is what makes this one particularly intriguing. The event will be held in the ballroom of a luxury hotel where serving staff will serve a five star meal to enhance the experience of the show. Music from top acts as well as cameos from prominent figures from the hometown of the event. The entire show is more than just a showcase of a fashion line but more of a tribute to the lifestyle that Louis Vuitton caters to; the top 1% of the business world. Those individuals and their families will be in attendance for this event and will generate a buzz throughout the wealthier communities. This event will be promoted through standard social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube. The end goal for this event will be to generate more sales for those particular lines being displayed as well as audience involvement with social media and generating more talk online about the product. The product can only sell so much to an audience but with Twitter and Instagram, audience members can showcase the line to their close friends and family which generates more talk about the products.

Gucci


A plan for the Gucci brand would be to host a party on a yacht off the coast of Italy and invite all of the top business people from all over the world. People of prominence enjoy events held on boats and boasting about it to their friends. When they talk about this particular boat party it will be to let them know it was a Gucci event. The Gucci Boat Party would be a spectacle of an event with live music, dancing, lights, as well as catered appetizers and main course in the dining hall. The boat is a night of art and passion combined with wine and wealth. This excites individuals watching or those who hear about it and makes them believe that they too can achieve that level of success if seen wearing designer brands such as Gucci. The main goal for this event is to raise the profile on social media considering many other designer brands have much higher numbers in views and followers. This event is about the brand and the products itself as much as it is about the social media profile which need a boost in numbers all across the boards.
