Project summary

Founded in 2009 by Simon Porte, Jacquemus is a luxury apparel brand which had an early focus on womenswear and later developed its product lines for menswear and accessories (Jacquemus, 2020).

Simon Porte is the artistic director of the brand. Born in Salon de Provence, South East of France in 1990, he grew up in a modest family of farmers. At 18 years old he decided to move to Paris to pursue fashion design studies which he quit two months after enrolling. A turning point in his life came when his mother passed away in 2008, prompting him to create Jacquemus. It remains a tribute to his late mother, who is and will remain a source of inspiration in the creation process of his collections (Bof, 2020).

The particularity of the brand relies on the contemporaneity it holds within the luxury market (Retview, 2019). It does not answer to the traditional anti-laws of marketing that more traditional luxury brands utilize (Kapferer, 2012).

Indeed, the brand benefits from a small heritage but has a strong DNA (Kapferer, 2012). Jacquemus is defined by its physique with its logo appearing on most of its products, its tight relationship with its consumers via its social media channels which does not leave a gap between them, the emphasis on the aesthetics inspired by the south of France and its youthful personality. Jacquemus is a credible player to thrive in a very competitive luxury market.

Consequently, in light of the current image and strategy used by the brand, Jacquemus are able to widen their possibilities in terms of innova tions, to seize opportunities to sustain their competitive advantage and to positively impact their overall strategy (Highsnobiety, 2020).

The scope of this project will thus introduce Jacquemus to a trend: the resale and second-hand market. They will create a resale area called Re live Jacquemus allowing Jacquemus consumers to resell the product they no longer wear. In parallel those products will be resold on a new sub pro duct category called Second-Jacquemus. Using the resale area will enable consumers to resell and purchase second-hand products 100% authenti cated by the Jacquemus sales team.

The proposed service will be implemented on their official website. Its promotion will be happening thanks to owned and earned media. The owned media will be a social media campaign through the brand’s existing Instagram and Facebook accounts.

This strategy is already used by the brand to promote their last collections and communicate about their activities. However, they will introduce a new earned media in order to increase the brand’s audience and interactions with the several existing touchpoints: an influencer mar keting strategy. They will ask two influencers, Tamara Kalinic and Sofia Coelho, to promote the new service on their social media channels and blog.

The aim of this project will be to:

• Reach: To grow Jacquemus’s community through the variety of owned, paid and earned media proposed by the brand.

• Act: It will increase consumer interactions through the different social media channels.

• Convert: The brand’s new service will boost sales and revenue.

• Engage: To increase consumer loyalty towards the brand and its re sale area

To run this effectively, the brand will use a product development strategy (Ansoff, 1957). This product development strategy will answer numerous demands from two generations that constitute an important share of Jacquemus and the resale and second-hand market consumers: the generation z and millennials.

Indeed, this demand is driven by several factors: an increasing demand from those generations for more sustainable practices from bu sinesses. This demand is also driven by the fact that Millennials and Gen Z wish to afford authentic and high-quality products which results in the purchase of luxury goods. Plus, the brand and the resale market are ex periencing exponential growth in terms of online sales, the demand is driven by those generations for more digital experiences as most of their shopping habits are happening online.

These innovations will be implemented completely digitally. This product development strategy will enable the brand to sus tain its competitive advantage as a contemporary luxury brand. Moreo ver, it will reposition them as a more fashion forward brand as they will include a system based on circularity and sustainability while preserving their current brand identity. Jacquemus product life cycle will be consi dered beyond the first sale.

Fashion Business Market segment

Founded in 2009 by Simon Porte Jacquemus, Jacquemus is a direct-to-consumer french independent luxury brand operating in the luxury apparel industry (Deslandes.F, 2020).

The brand sells womenswear, menswear, and accessories of fline through several independent retailers implemented across the globe. The brand does not own any operated stores and sells its product principally online via their official website (Jacquemus, 2020) and online resellers such as Farfetch.

As of today, the main mission of the brand is to «build a highend clothing brand with a strong visual impact, but with a price range that corresponds to a brand with contemporary style» (Jacquemus, 2020). This mission is reflected by their marketing strategy developed mainly online via different own media and shared media (Dietrich. G, 2014) such as the brand’s website but also their social media channels like Facebook and Tiktok but especially Instagram. Those social media platforms, mostly operated by Simon Porte himself, allowed the brand to create a real community and fan base which now trust and aspire to the brand.

Consequently, in light of the current’s image and marketing strategy used by the brand, it is allowing them to widen its possibili ties in terms of innovations, and to seize opportunities to gain com petitive advantage (Highsnobiety, 2020) and positively impact their overall strategy.

The global luxury market in which the brand Jacquemus is ope rating has known an exponential growth for years and is a sector in which demand continues to rise (Satista, 2020). According to research conducted by Fortune business Insight in 2020, the luxury fashion segment was worth $316.16 billion in 2019 and expected to see an annual growth of 4,6% CAGR by 2027.

More precisely the online luxury market was worth approximately $59 billion in 2020 (Satista, 2020) and is expected to make up for 25% of luxury sales by 2025 (Bain & Co, 2020).

Another market that comes as an opportunity for the global luxury sector is the luxury resale market who has come a winner post-pandemic (ThredUp, 2020). Indeed, the luxury resale market is now worth $16,23 billion and is estimated to be worth 68.53 Billion by 2026 (Verified Market Research, 2020).

Consumers demand for sustainability and digital experiences has increased considering the pandemic and the environmental challenges the fashion industry is currently facing (Mckinsey, 2020). A sector that comes as a solution for luxury brands to remain profitable in the next few years is the resale and se cond-hand market. This market has known a tremendous growth for a few decades now and is expected to beat today’s traditional luxury retail by 2025 (ThredUP, 2020).

Secondary research showed that the brand presents several opportunities when engaging with the trend. Thus, this development project will aim at introducing Jacquemus to the resale market.

The brand will design and implement a new service based on circularity by creating a resale area called “ Relive Jacquemus’’ in which consumers will be able to resell the Jacquemus product they no longer wear. The new service will be 100% operated by the Jacquemus sales team. They will be in direct and constant contact with them to ensure a seamless and trusted luxury brand experience. By using this service, it will allow consumers to resell his products at its exact price value that will be determined by the sales team.

To run this effectively, the consumer will have to create an account, a service already provided by the brand, to resell as many products as he want. The account will enable them to keept track of the product’s resellling process and to to resell products. The process of reselling encompass a 3 large steps, regrou ping other steps:

1. He will have to fill a form indicating what product it is, what product category it belongs to, its current state, include if he has it the initial purchase receipt and a picture. After submitting the form they will receive an email sent by the Jacquemus sales team to know if the application has been successful.

2. If it is successful, the sales team will ask to send the product to an address in order to have it physically inspected. The consumer will also be able to book an authication video call if he is unable to send the pro duct. He will be thus responsible for the shipment of the product the new owner and will be refunded by the brand for the shipping costs. If he can send it: after receiving it they will be responsible for the physical inspection and the authenticity check. the inspection will take a couple of days.

3. They will then send an email to the cutomer to let him know that the authenticity has been undertaken and that it will be photographed and stocked in their showroom awating the next purchase. They will also give a product’s price estimation based on the rarity, the quality and the current state of the product. However, the sales team will charge a larger or smaller percentage depending on the final price of the product. The resold products will be available under the name “Second-jacquemus” under the product’s categories displayed on their official website.

The other service provided will be the «Second-Jacquemus»

A new product category will be created under the already existing product categories. It will be called SECOND-JACQUEMUS. It will be available under the Womenswear and Menswear ranges already displayed on the Jacquemus official website. This area will be devoted to the next owner of the product. This service will allow them to purchase authenticated Jacquemus products sold at their exact exact value price. When purchasing a pre-owned jacquemus item, they will go through the exact same consumer journey that a consu mer would go through if they were purchasing a product from the current collection. (Appendix A)

This service will be promoted thanks to the PESO model (Appendix B) Indeed, the brand will use a social media communication strategy through paid and own media via their social media channels to drive consumers towards the resale area and to widen their consumer and community.

Founded in 2009, by Simon Porte, Jacquemus is a luxury apparel brand which operates in the luxury womenswear market and later ente red the luxury menswear market and accessories (Jacquemus, 2020).

The French brand is operating internationally in the Fashion luxu ry goods market, but more specifically in the clothing and accessories -and more specifically in the luxury goods market. The handbag luxury handbag market size valued market was worth $58,3 billion in 2018 and it is forecast that this value will grow as it is expected to be worth $89,9 billion by 2026 (AlliedMarket Research, 2020).

Even though the luxury market has experienced a 20% sales decline due to the pandemic (Future business Insight, 2020), the brand has thrived thanks to his strong online presence. Indeed, the brand is an important actor in the world of online luxury market, estimated to be a leading luxury sales channel by 2025 according to a market analysis undertaken by Bain & Co in 2019.

«The target customer is a millennial ran ging from 24 to 35 years old. She is located in urban cities like Paris, London, New York, and Los Angeles as well as the slow-paced countryside. She is a free-spi rit, a world-traveler, and a “child of the digital age”

«She is a creative, freelancer, editor, or student with disposable income. She is unapologetically herself, and is not afraid to make a fashion statement».

(Erin Engelage, 2020)

«I used to think my customer was 22. But she’s not. I think you need to know your self. Confidence. My muse for me would always be my mother – I lost her and I decided to do this brand for her, so my mother is always in my collections»

(Simon Porte for McFarland, J, 2020)

The brand sells mostly womenswear and menswear clothing but also accessories for both of those categories. Jacquemus collections are sold principally online through their offi cial website, www. Jacquemus.com (Retviews, 2020). They are also using a lot of different online retailers such as Sensee and Fafetch to sell their collections.

WOMENSWEAR

Womenswear core products are bags such as the “Chiquito” available in many sizes and colors. The “chiquito” is conside red as the brand’s «best-sellers and the demand for this pro duct has been rising since its issue in 2018 (Marain, A,. 2020).

Another core product that represents a big part of Jacquemus’s collections are dresses. Jacquemus’s core value, diversity and inclusivity are shown through the diversity of body shapes and sizes availablein that product range. This strategy emphasizes the accessibility and contemporeinty characteristics attached to the brand (Business of fashion, 2020).

MENSWEAR

Menswear core products are «shirts» which are all available on the website. They represent the biggest number of products among all other ranges of products. They are also available in different design prints in line with the brand’s aesthetic. Hats are the second core product within the menswear collection available in different styles, colors and differ in terms of price range.

and services

purchase

The brand jacquemus offers to their customers a varsity of service to ensure a seamless and coherent consumer jour ney.

The account:

The main advantage of creating a jacquemus account for a consumer relies heavily on convenience and a fast purchasing process.

Indeed, the account is allowing the consumer to first of all keep track of its order if it decides to purchase a product. It also allows him to save the product he shows interests in ins tead of going through the product research process again.

Customer service:

Most of Jacquemus’ sales happen mostly through their e-commerce platform, the sales team allow consumers to be in constant contact with them if they have any query all through the journey. This is done via an email and a phone number. (include image)

Current Marketing strategy

Direct Marketing via an omni-channel strategy.

Figure 2.3

Figure 2.4

Figure 2.5

Chat via whatsapp:

The difference between the customer service and the chat is that the chat can be used as a personal shopping experience. the consumer can contact a person from the sales team to get advice in terms of fitting, size and style.

The brand promotion is essentially supported by a di rect marketing strategy (Smith, P.R, Taylor, J. 2004). Indeed, the brand uses media over which it has exclusive control. In other words, this «above-the-line» strategy allows it to be in direct contact with its consumers without compromising its DNA and its equity. Furthermore, Jacquemus is committed to a purely visual and digital strategy so that it meets criteria that the public can easily identify with and access (Deslandes. M, 2020).

The omni-channel strategy is also used as the brand de livers the same kind of marketing content across all brand’s owned medias (Website and social medias)

Story-telling

Figure 2.6

Figure 2.7

Moreover, through its digital savvy strategy, the brand is also basing its product promotion on story-telling (Simmons, n.d). Indeed, it is crucial to remind that the brand is a tribute to Simon Porte’s late mother and that the overalls brand image is based on Simon Porte youth in south of france. The luxury brand is thus respecting its identity by telling a story across all images and visuals displayed through different media and are conveyed entirely through the brand’s communication strate gy.

Finally, the brand personality is mostly revolving around the nostalgia aspect he uses in his collections and tries to retranscribe through its promotion strategy (Retviews, 2020).

TOUCHPOINTS - social media INSTAGRAM

As mentioned above, the overall Jacquemus’s strategy is mainly digital. Indeed, the brand owes its success to its digital presence and more particularly to its presence on Instagram (Leach. F, 2020). The brand currently gathers 3.4 million followers and average of 100K and 500k of likes per post. Simon Porte is the main community manager which creates a close relationship with its target consumer through different posts which represents the overall brand’s activies in terms of campaigns, fashion shows. The instagram is used as a «diary» to post personnal images captured by the creative director. The designer is also using the account as a “personal diary” (Business of Fashion, 2019) enabling consumers to feel close to the brand. The efficiency of the strategy relies heavily on this closeness between the brand and the public. «Jacquemus is mastering the art of community building for digital age. By having a transparent 360-degree communication and or strategy, creating ig-friendly products worn by a diverse audience» (Highsnobiety, 2020)

Plus, Simon Porte is also opening a dialogue with its audience by posting stories and posts in order to constantly tease and catch the consumer’s attention.

For Instance, there was significant interest in the brand during the period of confinement. Indeed, the Instagram presence proved to be a very effective strategy to keep the audience engaged and interested. Simon Porte created a hashtag #JacquemusatHome allows his followers to create creative posts fea turing the brand’s products. The designer then re-shared these posts to raise awareness and strengthen his community (Wendy K. Bendoni, 2017, p. 228–261).

The Instagram stories is also a way for Simon Porte to tease consumers before launching collections. The «Do you like pink» creates a conversation bewteen the brand and the consumer and prepare them for the future campaign launch. Here the stories were made for the PINK COLLECTION.

The consumers were asked to display through an instagram post a new «type of high-shoe» in line with the brand’s aesthetic. This Hashtag comes in line with the wish for the brand to be relatable and for consumers to truly be part of the brand’s community (Leach. F, 2020).

Other social media controled by the brand are used:

-

Facebook:

Which is used as a more cordial plat form when prmoting the brand (Enge lage, E, 2020). The brand uses facebook as a tool to introduce the overall brand activities such as their campaigns, the last to date is the «Amour» campaing for the SS2021. Plus, the brand benefits from the facebook shopping feature which allows it to drive consumers to the official Jacquemus website.

-

Tiktok:

Shown on figure 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, the Jacquemus Instagram account is also used as a «personal diary» for Simon Porte. To increase the proximity between the consumer and the brand, the desi gner show some transparency about his personal life. This is also an effective strategy to increase trust from its consumers (Lee, J, 2020).

Youth and Playfulness are one of the main brand’s attributes. Tiktok comes thus as a useful tool to attract younger cosnumers such as Generation Z. This owned-media comes as another platform to make the brand even more ac cessible and to blur the usual line there usually is between consumers and luxury brands (Kapferer, 2012).

Figure 2.19 Figure 2.20

WebsiteAs explained above, the brand does not have any direct operated stores. They thus, rely a lot on their website to boost sales but to also promote the brand. This owned media has been extremely effective in raising awareness: a report conducted by Highsnobiety has recorded a total of 183,000 searches in the United States and Eu rope in the year 2020.

The website is also a complete transcribtion of the brand aesthetic and equity. This media also answered to the usual luxury e-commerce platform characteristics (Charlton, g, 2019):

-The brand is using striking and coherant visuals to display their products.

-The brand’s website is easy to use across all steps of the consumer journey.

-The brand’s history and idenity is displayed thanks to the «Simon» artefact. This allows consu mer to understand who is behing the Jacque mus business and to differientiate themselves from other more tradiontal retailers (Charlton, g, 2019).

Competitive advantage

After assessing the resources and capabilities of the Jacquemus brand, the brand’s competitive advantage has been identified through the VRIO model (Barney, J, 1991) (APPENDIX D) .

The brand seems to hold a long-term competitive advantage in terms of brand image and product innovations. Those resources are hard to imitate as they are unique and based on the brand’s heritage. Plus, the product innovation has been analyzed and research has shown their long-term competitive advantage as they are valuable, rare, inimitable and organised. However, one resource that could represent a temporary com petitive advantage would be the marketing strategy as social media is signicantly accessible and used by brands.

When answering to the question “which of the following environmental issues are most important to you ?”: 47% answered plastic pollution and 37% answered climate change (Mintel, 2019)

According to a survey conduc ted by Mckinsey in 2020, 3/5 of consumers consider that environmental impact is a key purchasing motivator when engaging with a brand.

SEcond-hand perspective

1/2 of consumers are re-directing their consumption towards sustaianability and circularity (Business of Fashion, 2020)

«I think is majorly important for brands to engage in general with todays issues but specially with climate change since the fashion in dustry is one of the biggest polluters at the moment, consumers are more aware than never and if brands don’t engage they will suffer the impact of consumer choices.»

(Lola, 21 yeard old) (appendix E)

Luxury perspective

½ of gen Z and millennials

are willing to purchase cheaper version of the products they usually buy (MCKinsey, 2020)

“In essence, a single garment can create value repeatedly — through sale and resale, repeated rental, or being sold, repaired, returned, refurbished, or recycled, and resold again to start the loop over. » (Business of Fahion, State of Fashion 2021)

According to a survey conducted by Euromonitor in 2019 for Fashion & Sutainability research insight, 43% of the answerers have bought second-hand fashion items already and 35% have sold unwanted fashion items.

According to a survey conducted for Primary research* which re grouped 40 respondents mostly aged between 18 and 35 years old: When asked if they have ever resold/ bought second-hand in the past, 91% of them answered «yes».*

According to a survey conducted for Primary research* which regrouped 40 respondents mostly aged between 18 and 35 years old: When asked if luxury brand should in troduce more circularity in their business mode, 67% answered «definetely agree».

There’s a huge demand expressed by consumers for less new and an un deniable motivation for buying more “long lasting and high-quality pro ducts» (McKinsey, 2020)

«These young consumers (Gen z and millennials) are also empowered with the knowledge of exactly how much their items are worth on the secondary market» (WGSN The resale market boom, 2020)

The democratization of luxury is explained by the social recognition it implies. This phenomenon is reflected by the appearance of the logo on luxury goods/ products and thus al lows a consumer x to be more considered among the crowd. (Kapferer, J N and Bastien, V. 2012)

It appears that consumer’s life is not only happening solely offline but on line too. To this effect, fashion actors must be aware of those online activities in order to properly answer’s their consumer’s demand.

«The call for “enter-tainmerce” has come loudest from high-income earners (32%) and mil- lennials (33%), so there is some serious spending up for grabs.»

(GlobalWebindex, The ecommerce trend to know, 2020)

In light to the current state of the world regarding climate change, The Thredup report highlights some key infographics that cleary demonstrate that the resale market trend is still at its infancy. Indeed, it is projected that this method of consumption will be the main source of garment purchases when the traditionnal retail sales is expected to shrink by 2026 (thredup, 2020) (APPENDIX G).

Online luxury market

As the world is slowly coming out from a period of pandemic, it seems that digital purchases will continue to thrive in terms of demands (Business of Fashion, State of Fashion, 2021).

Risk:

- The luxury resale market has come as an opportunity but also a risk as the precense of couterfeit goods are a big concern for the luxury actors and consumers ( Kansara, A, K, 2020).

-There is a considerable lost of item value when purchasing a second-hand luxury product via a resale platform as it is more accessible and thus the exclusive aspect attached to the product is less significant ( Kansara, A, K, 2020).

- Primary research showed that consumers demand for digital resale platforms loyalty was rising as almost 40% of them has already made purchase/ resold porducts on those platforms

Opportunities:

A survey conducted for primary research showed that consumers were willing to purchase second hand luxury product if the resale area is dependant of the brand as it give them more trust (Appendix: Primary research survey results)

COMPETITIVE RIVALRY BARGAINNING POWER SUPPLIERS BARGAINNING POWER OF BUYERS

Online Luxury Resale mar ket:

The competitive rivalry among the online luxury re sale market is high. - They are already existing powerful actors performing in this specific market (Won der, 2020). Vestiaire collec tive and the RealReal already occupies a good share of this market. Indeed, those two consigment platforms have known an increasing success amassing respectively $209 million $84 million of revenue in 2018 in 2020 (techcrunch, 2020). They are both offe ring similars services when it comes to storage and pho tographs of the resold pro ducts (Wonder, 2020).

Online Luxury resale mar ket: - The bargaining power of supplier is high.

- This force is the most pressing as consumers are suppliers here. The stocks are created thanks to the latter. They are usually the ones putting the price on the products and forces platforms to operate in function of this factor. The resale market concepts would not exist without this force.

Online Luxury resale mar ket:

- The bargainning power of buyers is high.

- The demand for the se cond-hand products is ri sing. As explained above, the second-hand market to be worth $68 billion by 2026, which makes this power definetly pressing.

- Moreover, the resale market consitutes a high share of Gen Z consumer which is elevated at 70% for this cohort (Thredup, 2020).

THREATS OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS THREATS OF NEW ENTRANTS

Luxury resale market: Threat of substitute pro ducts is high.

Luxury resale market:

-The threat of new entrants in the luxury resale market is high as the trend is rising.

-The resale market trend is still adopted by the «early majority» and «innovators» (Roger, 1994) (Appendix H). This means that this threat is characterized by the implementation of resale services by luxury brands that offers consu merw the benefit of ex periencing a luxury brand through their second-hand and resale area. Consumer could feel like they have a safer experience in terms of price estimation of their product and consumer journey.

-Luxury Brands are adopting the trend more and more to gain profitability. In recent mobnths, many collaborations have seen the lights such as the between Gucci and The realreal. In order to lower this threats, resale plat forms have to innovate arround their services in order to gain market share and to still be used in the long run.

- Consumers will thus shift to this type on consump tion when engaging with second-hand luxury.

Justification of the proposed artefacts

Will this innovation have a positive social and environ mental impact ? (Integrity)

What do consumers want ? (Desirability)

The demand expressed by younger generations gen z and millennials, which both the online luxury resale market and Jac quemus target have been analysed and it has been concluded that:

- This demand is driven by the desire of these consumers to be able to access authentic luxury products at lower prices (McKin sey, 2020). A survey conducted for primary research showed a firm interest in luxury when the participants - mostly aged between 20 and 25 years old- were asked if they buy luxury goods, 37% answered yes and 22% answered that they intended to.

-More sustainability from luxury business:

Primary research as shown a rise in demand for more circulatrity: When asked if luxury brand should include more sustainability in their business, 65% of respondents «definitely agreed».

- More online experiences: external insights showed that also ¾ of those consumers have purchased online in the last year (GlobalWebIndex, the ecommerce trend to know, 2020). Plus, another demand driver is the fact that these two generations expressed their preference for online experiences over the pro duct itself which allows the brand to innovate around that when implementing its resale area.

- The solution relies on second-hand luxury which is a type of consumption that in addition to being sustainable also allows those groups of consumers to express themselves in society by wearing these products known for their quality and durability (Kapferer, J N and Bastien, V. 2012).

According to the triple bottom line model, the brand will ultimately be more profitable as the service answers to today’s environmental challenges (Elking ton, J., 1994).

Planet: - They have already engaged with upcycling with their last collections «Les Fleurs’ ‘. The implementation of this service could be the continuation of their path towards a more sustainable business.

-They will also respect external laws shown through the Pestle analysis in terms of circularity and sustainability.

-People: - Their small heritage allows them to innovate according to today’s consumer’s demand. The community aspect will be emphasised as the service will support and wi den this already existing community around the brand (People) (Elkington, J., 1994). profitability

The brand’s internal research has shown that the overall business could be positively impacted by the implementation of the new service:

-The innovation will answer to a large demand of consumers the brand already targets, Generation Z and Millennials.

- The service will position them even more as a Fashion forward brand in terms of recycling as it is based on circularity (McAr thur Foundation, 2020).

-It will also strengthen their position as a luxury contempo rain brand. Indeed, the idea of creating the resale area on the existing selling e-commerce platform allows the brand to pre serve its image and identity in terms of marketing strategy and its equity as a contemporaneous luxury brand.

Artefact 2 PROMOTION OF A SERVICE VIA A SOCIAL

In light of the secondary and primary research that has been conducted internally and externally it has been found that the brand has found the right strategy tool to target their target consumer: social media campaigns.

For instance, the internal analysis has shown the importance given to the Instagram account when it comes to the promotion of the brand (The business of fashion, 2020). The relationship of proximity between the brand and the consumer is created thanks to the Instagram account. This relationship of proximity is explained by the current interactions taking place between the community manager, Simon Porte and the consumers (Engelage, E, 2020). These interactions are carried out through various stories and posts all made by Simon Porte himself. This creates a feeling of belonging to a commu nity for his followers. Plus, the omni-channel strategy is emphasized through the «shop» feature that the Instagram page has in order to drive consumers to the website.

Consequently, the promotion part of the project will aim at en hancing the existing social media communication strategy by creating and using a variety of owned and earned media to promote the brand’s new proposed service (Dietrich. G, 2014). Those will come at the essentials of the campaign to promote the service.

Types of media through the Peso model (Dietrich. G, 2014).

This will be undertaken throughout owned medias:

Instagram 3 Posts & stories :

o The posts: will be created by Simon Porte himself and posted on the Instagram after the launch of the proposed service. There will be three different posts (what the brand already does when it comes to creating promotional posts) displaying questions about reselling and second-hand. The posts’s captions will be used at delivering information about the proposed service, and explaining the aims of this project. Those posts will respect the overall brand’s aesthetic and will enable the brand to maintain the initial «visual impact» strategy. It will also enable th ebrand to keep interacting with its consumers and utilmately increase the Instagram’s post comments and likes.

o There will be several stories pre, during and after the launch of the service that will aim at first tease and attract current consumers before, during and after the launch of the proposed service. Second, to repost the 3 different posts in order to promote them. And finally, to receive consumer’s insight about their experience when reselling their Jacquemus’s products through Q&A’s.

Facebook sponsored posts:

Facebook will also be used by the brand when promoting the new service to let the Facebook followers know of the current’s brand’s activities and to raise awareness around the brand.

The brand will also promote the proposed service on Facebook and use the exact same format in terms of posts.

The posts will use the same kind of questions used for the Instagram to respect the brand’s omni-channel communication strategy.

They will be posted on the same time frame as the proposed service launch: after the launch of the platform.

CAMPAIGN
MEDIA

Justification of the proposed artefacts

Jacquemus will also use a “new” earned media by partnering with many loyal consumers that will be considered as the “Relive am bassadors”. This will be carried out thanks to celebrity endorsement (McCracken) such as micro influencers and celebrities targeting the same kind of consumer’s cohorts.

The brand will ask two influencers Tamara Kalinic and Sofia Coelho to promote the new service on their most used media.

Tamara Kalinic: Jacquemus will partner with Tamara by paying her to write a blog post on her personal blog called Glab and Glitters to talk about the new service. She will be proposed to resell or to purchase a second-hand Jacquemus product and write about her journey as a reseller or a pre-owned purchaser.

Sofia Coelho: the brand will ask her to create Instagram content featuring her with a product from the new JAcquemus second-hand category. She will thus create «Sponsored by Jacquemus» post. in the caption she will ask to mention the brand and the new service but to also talk about her second-hand experience.

Those partnerships will happen three weeks after the launch of the service. It will enable Jacquemus and the ambassadors to raise awareness around the brand. Ambassadors will also enable the Jacquemus audience to grow. This increase will also allow the acquisi tion of new customers.

Artefact 2 PROMOTION OF A SERVICE VIA A SOCIAL MEDIA

Step 5: By clicking on the resale account they will arrive on a step-by-step form applica tion to see if the product the consumer wants to resale is eligible to be resold. They will have to answer a few questions based on the nature of the product: such as the range it is from, the size, the color, the when and where was it purchased and finally, its state (bad, medium, good, perfect quality) . Below is presented the form process. The ques tionnaire was based on what a consumer might answer if they wanted to resell a bag for example.

The reseller journey

The first question will be centered on whether the consumer sells a product from Womenswear or menswear collections. Here the x consumer will choose to sell wo menswear products.

The second question is more specific and aims at determining which range of product, the re sell product belongs to. The range here is the current pro duct’s range sold by the brand. The x consumer would like to re sale a bag.

The «Chiquito» has many sizes, so automatically the brand will ask the consumer the size of the product he wished to resell. Jacquemus.com Online reseller Store reseller

The 6th question would aim at precising the color of the product, in order to be as spe cific as possible when giving the product’s information.

The date will aim at determining the collec tion the product is from. To determine the lifespan of this product and to give even more precision as to its resale ability.

The place where it was purchased is also necessary to provide additional informa tion on where the product came from. It al lows the sales team to have additional data on where their consumers buy.

9. How many times did you wear it ?

Never been worn and still has the tag.

Has been worn once or twice.

Has been won more than

Has been worn daily since its purchase.

This question will provide the sales team with additional information on the quality of the product. The less the product is worn, the more likely it is to be resold.

10. An estimate of its current state. Perfect Good Medium state Bad State

The team does not expect the client to have precise expertise on the current quality of the product. On the other hand, this detail may be important for the continuation of the sale, because if the product is of «low quality» from the start, the sale will less likely happen.

10. Do you have a purchase receit ? Yes No

11. Include an image of the product: the product must be presented in good lightning in order to allow the sales team to check its current state.

Step 6: After submitting the resale application, the customer will receive an auto matic confirmation email. The email will include the estimated time it will take the team to review the application and to check if the product is eligible for resold.

The receipt is also a decisive step as it allows the beginning of the authentication of the product. Indeed, in the absence of the re ceipt the resale can be slowed down. Therefore, the authentica tion process will be a little more complicated for the sales team. However, they are not compulso ry because the team’s expertise will advise when they see and analyse the product as a whole.

The image is mandatory and must be included in the appli cation so that the team can have an overview of the product. It is another step in the process of au thenticating the product.

Dear Client, Thank you for trusting RELIVE JACQUEMUS for the resale of your product. Your application will be reviewed and considered by our sales team. A member of the team will get back to you for the rest of the resale. We are short staffed, so this may take 5-10 days.

Step 7: When the evaluation of the application by the sales team is completed, the consumer will receive an email. This email will contain a decisive information: whether the first step of the resale has been successful or not (which rarely will be the case as they are engaged to give a second life to every-resol products). This is an example of what the mail would look like if the first step of the resale was not successful. The brand has the right to refuse to receive a product if it considers that the product is not worth reselling. The brand would justify that it does not meet their criterias in terms of quality and condi tion. That they are afraid that the product will not be sold at all. This will also enable Jacquemus to be 100% transparent with their consumers.

Step 7: However, If it is successful, the email will be automatic and will ask the consumer to send the product to an address (Jacquemus head office) so that it can be properly authenticated. Hovever the customer will have the choice of an alternative he is not able to send the produt for geo graphic reasons.* It will lead to a price estimation. The team is entirely responsible for the price estimation as it gathers experts who will be able to determine this price precisely according to the quality, the condition, the demand on the market and its rarity. This estimate will allow the product to be resold at its fair value and will allow future buyers to purchase the product in complete trust and safety.

With a voucher or a «refund».

Please reply to this email with this information, which we will record and take into consi deration after the resale.

Thank you for your patience and loyalty,

Have a nice day,

The Jacquemus sales team.

SUMMARY OF COSTINGS

Being financially independent, the brand will have to take care of the overall costings of the new service launch and its promotion.

For the launch of the Relive Jacquemus and Second-Jacquemus service, the company will hire graphic designers to set up, develop and maintain the site. The total cost has been estimated at around $7000 due to the high cost of development. Research has shown a wide range of prices for the ove rall implementation of the site. Indeed, Freshbooks explains that a graphic design team would cost between $5,500 and $10,000 with an average of around $7,000. This led to the total estimate being set at this price for the purpose of realism. The ave rage was then converted into pounds to make the total calculation easier.

As for the marketing consultants, research has shown that a marketing consultant takes about the equivalent of 30 pounds per hour. The Gantt chart states that Jacquemus will need these marketing consultants for about 1 month (the whole of July). It is assumed that if the marketing consultant wor ked 5 days a week on the project, working 8 hours a day, the total cost at the end of the month would be £4,800.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to find a price for the authentication team that will train the members of the sales team to authenticate the products sent. It was therefore estimated the maxi mum budget that the brand can put in for a team of 10 people at £500-600 per person per month so £12,000 in total.

For the e-commerce photographers the cost for the photography according to Pow Product pho tography, a photograph takes approximatively 300£ per product. The brand will have to consider this price which has been removed from the total for logical reasons.

When it comes to the copy writers who will be responsible for the writing of the several emails shown on section 5, it has been found that a copy writer takes 80£ per hour. Here the brand will need to write a few and will need a copy writer for two days to write all of them. It will then cost 1280£ if it is imagined that they work 8 hours per day.

The promotional part (owned media) will represent the lowest cost as Jacquemus is auto nomous when it comes to the creation of posts and stories. They only need to hire a graphic designer who will be paid 75£ per post to design the first page of the Instagram posts as shown in section 5.

Concerning the promotion (earned me dia), the prices have been estimated depending on the online presence of both chosen influen cers. According to Influencer Marketing Hub, So fia Coelho with the number of followers that she has could take approximatively 1500£ for the three posts that she will do to promote the new service. As for Tamara Kalinic, her online pre sence is more important which is why the price is higher to reflect her greater number of followers.

The total expenditure for the implementation of the ser vice and its promotion will be 31,590£.

risksThe tab shown on the right theorised by Garvey & Lansdowne in 1998 displays information about the several risks that could occur when implementing the new service and its promotion.

The implementation of this innovation would include risks based on three diffe rent categories: Operational, financial and governmental. The main findings lie with the operational risks:

• It has been found that there are several risks which are unlikely to occur and that are somewhat acceptable, tolerable, unacceptable and intorable. Those risks are mainly operational and financial. The one that could «result in disaster» would be a low return on investment that could lead to a sales decline and a loss of interest in the brand.

• The location of the brand as being too local can be classified as a possible risk «risk will likely occur». This factor is acceptable as it is overshadowed by the fact that the product’s authentication process can happen via phone call. What could be considered as «intolerable» is a slow resale process, not seamless enough that it could lead to consumers re-shifting to multi-brands platforms.

• Risks that «will occur» are not numerous as the goal of the implementation is to create a service that will not present an important risk for the brand. However, the brand can lack sales team employees which will slow the authentication process and prevent the employees from completing it on time.

Opportunities:

1. Jacquemus will answer a large demand from consumers for more sustainability and circularity.

2. By including the service they will keep their image as a luxury brand while allowing younger demographics to experience the consumer journey of a luxury brand.

3. The risks about tanishing of the brand image will be overshadowed by the service offering a trusted and exclusive Jacquemus experience.

4. They will keep their stance as a contemporary luxury brand moving forward regarding current environmental challenges.

5. International consumers will be able to experience a french luxury digital experience.

Not enough space to store all the resold products awating their second sales.

Promotion of the new service will no attract enough consumers to try out the new resale area as the brand is not as established as other luxury brands

Not enough retunr on investment that could lead to the brand knowing an important financial decline

-Service based too locally as the products will have to sent in France to be authenticated.

The lack of respect from consu mers as to the honesty they are asked to show when they enter the information of the products they want to resell. As well as the sending of retouched pho tos in order to facilitate the re sale of the goods.

-Consumers will not be sa tisfied with the new price of their resale product, that could lead to the re-direc ting of those resellers toward multi-brands platforms

Relive Jacquemus: Low resale process that could lead to the re-di recting of the resellers toward multi-brands. platforms.

FINANCIAL RISKS

-Currency, and trades made outside Europe could impact the business profita bility.

The sales teams is not large enough to take into consideration the authentication of every resold item in time.

MARKET DEMAND PROSPECTS:

Luxury market:

• The luxury market is expected to grow exponentially until 2025 which means that the demand will continue to rise as millennials and gen z will constitute the biggest percentage of sales in this market.

• The demand for luxury products from those younger generations is still at its in fancy, it is thus expected that millennials’s and gen z’s demand will be increasingly significant due to their future higher spending power.

• More specifically, the pandemic has seen a high increase of online sales. Accor ding to Bain & co, they made up 49€ billion with a 12% growth since 2019. This illustrates a rising demand that will continue to increase in the next 5 years.

Online Luxury resale market:

• It is expected that demand will continue to grow due to the current location of the trend. Indeed, according to Rogers, it seems to be adopted by «early adopters» and «early majority» (APPENDIX). Today these groups are specifically generation Z and millennials who make up the largest share of this trend (Thredup, 2020).

• Moreover, the demand for more sustainability and circularity from businesses has been important in 2020 (Forbes, 2020). Research has shown that younger gene rations want more sustainable business practices. Businesses need to be in line with today’s environmental challenges in order to remain profitable in the long term (Elkington, J, 1994). In addition, local laws will force these brands to act in a more sustainable way to make the economy more circular (Passport, 2020). Consequently, the second-hand and re-sale market are solutions that allow these luxury brands to act according to these challenges while preserving their brand equity.

• The online luxuy market will also constitute a durable solution as the demand for more online experiences are expected to grow in the next five years due the pan demic (Passport, 2020).

STRATEGY:

The product development strategy proposed in section 5 will allow the brand to reposition itself into a more “fashion forward” brand. Indeed, the contemporary aspects the brand benefits from and which constitute one of their main competitive advantages will be maintained. But the proposed innovation will allow them to re-enforce it to remain profitable in the years to come as the resale and second-hand market will enable them to include sustainability and circularity in their business model (Triple bottom Line, Elkington, J, 1994).

ARTEFACTS:

The proposed artefacts will enable the brand to respect the Smart objectives shown on sec tions 1 and 5.

• The Relive Jacquemus and Second-Jacquemus platforms will ultimately allow the brand to maintain its online activities on the official Jacquemus website. This will enable it to increase the number of visits and interactions with the latter. Moreover, by taking between 10 and 20% of the resale value of a product, they will be able to increase revenue. Plus, as the consumer will have the ability to re-spend the money received from the resale on Jacquemus’s website, it will increase brand loyalty and ultimately boost sales. Also, the resale taking place via the consu mer’s account will allow the number of accounts created every month to multiply which will also increase brand loyalty.

• Promotion: The promotion through social media campaigns will enable the brand to stay aligned with its current marketing strategy. The Instagram and Facebook posts will ultimately increase brand interactions. Earned media through influencer marketing will raise awareness around the brand and widen the Jacquemus community. This will also enable the brand to res pect its goals in terms of communication.

Overall, the brand will be positively impacted by the creation of those artefacts as it respects its rational goals, aims and objectives while preserving its brand identity.

RISK, OPPORTUNITY AND SENSITIVITY:

Most of the risks that could occur are about the brand’s image and the financial aspects mentioned in these sections. It has been found that opportunities outshined risks as the demand explained above is stronger and constitutes a priority for brands right now when it comes to acting in accor dance with environmental regulations and consumer demands.
