C H A P T E R 1 B R A N D E Q U I T Y A N D S T O R Y T E L L I N G 1. Introduction 2. Slogan 3. Storytelling 4. Brand Identity 1. Introduction The omnipresence of the internet allowed luxury brands to reach a new class of customers quickly. While these brands have much more set, they also expose themselves to the limitless space of the global internet. We found that the modern storytelling, only displayed on the web page, occupy only one page (the page of La Marque). The story is simple and not attractive enough. Therefore, to better maintain sophistication and reaching their audience, we suggested new storytelling which is presented with its key successful factors explained. 2. Slogan We invited a professional designer to make a logo for Anawhel: Storytelling and Brand Identity Refigure new storytelling and brand identity for more sophisticated brand equity “Go anywhere with Anawhel” That slogan is the core aspect of the storytelling, which should be with Memorability, Meaningfulness, and Likability (Keller, 2006) Memorability Anawhel is a homophone for “anywhere” in French. We cracked a joke on it. That short slogan helps customers to remember the new brand name quickly and interestingly. Meaningfulness We emphasized the relevance of our products and the central designing concept “traveling.”. We tried to create a brand recall as “A bag for traveling is Anawhel.” Likability This slogan shows a positive lifestyle: “ready to go”. Then, Customer perception could be feminist, free and independent. Meaning of the Slogan 3. Storytelling The second point is the notion of “One bag, one story.” Compared to those well-known brands, Anawhel is selling its French designs, positive attitudes and unique stories. We tried to make a content marketing spectacle that takes viewers into the world of designer Naouel BEKKAIE. The whole website should be all about storytelling: How was the work in Christian Dior? What she experienced during traveling in China? What inspired her to make these designs? We have got inspiration from Chanel. As shown below, the chapter on ‘No.5’ expose the most famous fragrance ever, ‘Coco’ gives viewers a glimpse into Mademoiselle’s world and chapters like ‘The Lion’ or ‘The Jacket’ show secrets behind quintessential Chanel staples. Therefore, which bag should have a story described in the website like Chanel did. Page 13 Il Était un fil Brand Identiy In a previous section we identified the Kapferer’s Identity Prism. In this section we propose some ideas based on that Prism. Personality The character of the brand could be associated with the human characteristics related to them. Anawhel gives off a strong, distinguished character and is pride in your own life. The innovative sentiment of the brand not only adds to the appeal, but it is still able to remain youthful. Culture The rich legacy of the brand, from sparkling design to the leopard pattern. Each element is seen to have stemmed in French culture and could change the culture more Feminist, free and independent. Self-Image This is how the consumer visualizes themselves. This self- image plays a significant role in the luxury brand as consumers want to increase their social standing or own self-view through wearing designer luxury brands. Anawhel’s self-image may be that of a higher-class woman who loves travel experiencing and well control her own life with a positive life attitude a niche fashion sense. Physique High quality, Stylish French, leopard pattern, functional. The best-seller”Mini Pannier White Leo” look is both sophisticated and casual, which cements the brand physique. Relationship The relationships that were formed may be that of trust & dependability in Anawhel’s products, especially during the journey. However, an overall inconsistency with the direction of the brand may have left some consumers alienated, particularly those who are not interested in traveling. Reflection Reflecting the customer is not describing the target; rather, the customer should be echoed as he/she wishes to be observed as an outcome of using a brand. Therefore, we suggest that Anawhel’s reflection is pioneering and unique. While we agree with this, it could also be added that the consumer wishes to embody the classic French woman. Page 14 Il Était in fil “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” By Maya Angelou C H A P T E R T W O E M O T I O N A L B R A N D I N G 1. Introduction 2. Why emotional connections matter 3. Putting emotional connections to work 4. From product to an experiential level 5. From quality to preference 6. From a monologue to an interactive dialogue 7. From touchpoints to journeys 8. Building the “Brand Love” In this chapter, we are going to talk about emotions and how they can change the way in which the product is evaluated and how IL ÉTAIT UN FIL can improve its business by seeing the emotional branding as part of the Brand Equity 2. Why Emotional connections matter Brands begin as a product that solves a logical problem in the consumer’s life. Means that the rational core is mostly the functional attributes of the brand. But due to rapid technology diffusion among firms, functional characteristics in many categories tend to be relatively generic. Primarily, many brands in the same category can lay claim to doing the same thing at the rational, functional level. Brands, thus, should look beyond the rational for differentiation. They become an idea that fulfills consumer’s emotional needs. It works for Anawhel too. And there are also many research shows that why emotional branding is very important. 3. Putting emotional connections to work As customers’ relationships with a brand deepen, they move along the pathway toward full emotional connection. Mainly, loyalty and preference are beyond reasons. And the percentage of consumers who desire to offer support in time or money is higher than 50%. So here comes a question that what should Anawhel do to get and keep the right costumer? We provide some answers next sections. EMOTIONAL BRANDING 1. Introduction A product or service is not just the product itself; it is more about what did people experience with it. What did it make them feel? Did they have fun, did it make them feel special, and did it get them jumping in excitement? People would support your service and products if you make them feel extraordinary. For instance, Royal Caribbean Cruise is one of the best-known cruise ships that not only takes you to your dream paradise but will also give you that “royal” experience. Therefore, for Anawhel, we suggest the way to make your consumer to enjoy the time spending with you, it is by creating a different environment and treat them like your friends. It could be by decorating your shop with beautiful design, make it look impressive. And serve your consumer with your heart let them feel being emphasized. Here is some beautiful design to refer. 4. From product to an experiential level 5. From quality to preference Many companies arise competing for loyal customers. It is typical for many industries. Customers are continually seeking and switching their preferences. Firms attempt to ensure that they have the best products in the world. Nevertheless, bymaking them feel your products are extraordinary, you become their preferred supplier. When you become the favorite Brand, word of mouth will help you market your product or services. Not only the logo is vital, but the colors also are. We believe that every color should represent a different meaning and deliver a different message to the consumer. The, we also offer various color for the logo so that you can choose your favorite. Page 16 Il Était un fil As Anawhel have an advantage of handmaking, every bag could be unique. The firm can provide them unique embroidery when they buy their bags. Such as names, birthdays, or blessings, and other kinds of personalization to customers. That special custom approach makes the product more attractive to customers, creating them a genuinely and unique package, making them pay higher prices than the original one. “That is really what building a brand is about, not just showing the product but showing the story all around it,” Bendet says. Stacey Bendet Sell a product now is about have a conversation with your customers, talk and listen them. I may have ever imagined why some commercials left a question to you think. The reason is, they provide an option to you choose, an answer to be responded. It is more than a presentation about the product; it is an interaction. Firms ask them a question and catch their attention. It allows people to talk and share their experiences and it will enable you to further understand their attention in responding back. It might be time-consuming, but this is where you build relationships. It is common now on Facebook, and other social media, firms post something on their account asking the people a question. It allows them to respond and connect with customers on an emotional level, to create a relationship with them. Such as holding on-line activities like Pick up three lucky customers and give them Anawhel bags for free from people who “liked” your post and shared it with their friends. That is a suitable medium for brands to interact with their customers. Finally, according to Instagram, a famous design called Stacey Bendet shares photos and videos that capture what she is seeing, feeling, or thinking in the moment and provides followers a genuine glimpse into her life of fashion and design and the inspiration behind her brand. It is brilliant way to enhance emotional connections with consumers. Naouel BEKKAIE could do the same approach to show the story behind the design of her products, increasing the fans’ intimacy. 6. From a monologue to an interactive dialogue Page 17 Il Était un fil Page 18 Il Était un fil Even if employees execute well on individual touchpoint interactions, the overall experience can still disappoint. Furthermore, customer journeys are significantly more strongly correlated with business outcomes than are touchpoints. Online sales are where IL ETAIT UN FIL has more control and more margin as well. Thus, the company should invest more in enhance its website by using our recommendations given along the chapters, especially in the consumer buying process chapter. Finally, consumers have changed and they are even more complex, they should be in the center of the business, the following illustration shows some of those changes. 7. From touchpoints to journeys The insights from customer experience approach can help to build customer loyalty, make employees happier, achieve revenue and even reduce costs. However, it takes patience and courage to implement it in organizations, it hard and costly to see the business through the customer’s eyes and then redesign functions to create value in a customer-centric way. That job begins when firms consider the customer—not the organization—at the center of the business. Hedonic and sensory dimension: Pleasant and unpleasant ➢ Given the selling channel of the company is agential selling. The only thing we can control regarding consumer’s perceived satisfaction is the package and design (the Provencal design is already unique, strengthen that), to better create a pleasant feeling, we must differentiate from the other products by visiting the channel stores and do some researchers. ➢ A closer observation about the products which are sold out of stock, find out the standard features of those products and identify the trend of the general consumer preference. Rhetoric dimension: an individual and meaningful social experience ➢ We can use full of the craftsmanship: regarding the Provencal art as a cultural heritage which is in imminent danger. Then, every purchase of our products will be a generous donation and support for the Provencal artisans. ➢ We can also add some general, meaningful non-profit issues (education supporting, pollution control. etc.) into the marketing process Praxeology dimension: Consumer’s involvement intensity during the experience ➢ At this part, we can hardly control the agency stores about the consumer experiential marketing, so we will have to choose the selling store with a more critical eye. ➢ Online purchase is something we have absolute control, finish the English version first so the products will possess an understandability to foreigners, for utilitarian affairs, we can take a reference to Taobao and Small's website interactional design. Temporal dimension: the expectations with a chosen or constrained time ➢ Relevant festival marketing is essential. ➢ Identify the fitness between brand image and geological features, such as sunshine, shores, and beaches, to stimulate a synergy and right OTP placement (occasion, time and place). And open selling channels accordingly. ➢ Start to make connections: establish online/offline social community based on the same identity. Page 19 Il Était un fil In order to strengthen the brand identity soft power and figure out a general method to generate consumer’s “brand love” we applied the 4 attributes of a consumption experience 8. Building the “Brand Love” “When my company reach the value peak, I will sell it.” By Naouel BEKKAIE C H A P T E R 3 T H E C O N S U M E R B U Y I N G P R O C E S S 1. Introduction 2. Problem recognition 3. Information search 4. Evaluation of alternatives 5. Purchase decision 6. Purchase 7. Post-purchase evaluation As a start-up company, Anawhel has savvy leaders, well- co-operative teams, and quality products. Now, we thought that this company needed enough customers and operating capital most. Therefore, in this section, we used a new marketing model” Purchasing behavior process” instead of 4Ps. The reason is, we wanted to be more based on the customer perspective, and they could provide reasonable and feasible suggestions at every step to promote sales growth. Some critical contents of 4C and 4Ps models are included in the analysis as well. The source of operating capital will be mentioned later. The Consumer buying process consist in 6 steps: 1. Problem recognition 2. Information search 3. Evaluation of alternatives 4. Purchase decision 5. Purchase 6. Post-Purchase evaluation We made suggestions in all steps. The Consumer buying process 1. Introduction Simple research in Google 1) Pay to Google ranking optimization company, for the keyword "travel bag," "power bank,""light bag," to optimize search ranking results. 2. Problem Recognition You not just put your product in stores and it is bought, before a purchase can ever happen, the customer needs to have a reason to believe that what they desire, where they want to be or how to perceive themselves or a situation is different from where they are. For Anawhel, this creates an opportunity. We could “create a problem” for the potential customers to help them realize that they have a need that should be solved. We suggested to define the problem as “your traveling bag is heavy and out-of-date.” Then we could put on the contrast photos in the side, the ordinary travel bag against Anawhel’s beautiful travel bag with charging facility. The most crucial point for problem recognition is to tell the customers what they need, even though they wouldn’t need it. 3. Information research The customer research process begins when the problem is discovered. When they are aware of the existence of the issue, they notice the necessity for a solution. For solving the problem “your traveling bag is heavy and out-of-date,” they look for “light, beautiful travel bag” on Google, which is relatively straightforward. The result is below; we found that all bags are not that kind of beautiful. The best way is to establish your brand as an industry leader or expert in this specific field. Methods to consider include becoming a Google Trusted Store or by advertising partnerships and sponsors prominently on all web materials and collateral. But it’s impossible for Anawhel without abundant budgets and strong firm influences. The feasible way is to focus on a niche market and put the most budget on it. Currently, the target customer group for IL ETAIT UN FIL is 25- 45 years old, almost 35 years old, 95% French, 5% from USA / Japan. By using “Customer portrait,” we defined three common characteristics of target customers: woman, traveler, want something new. Then we tried to find these people. Here we have two possible suggestions: Page 21 Newsletter Title 5. Purchase After the need has been creating, the search has been completed, and the client has decided to make a purchase. All the stages that lead to conversion have been finished. In this step, keep it simple! We suggested some critical questions: Ensure that your online purchase process online is not complicated, let just few and quick steps. Also, the purchase should be as easy on mobile device as it is on a desktop computer. More further improvement suggestions. First, e-shop in English is necessary. Second, accessible payment is important. Now it doesn’t matter for the French customers, but it will be so hard for foreigners like me to make the purchase. It is not urgent to improve now. But we suggested adding an email address at the bottom to help customers finish their payment process. 4. Purchase Decision Here comes to the essential step. At this point, the customer has analyzed multiple options, they perceive pricing and payment options, and they are choosing between move forward with the purchase or not. But they could still decide to walk away. There are a lot of methods to persuade customers to make the purchase decision. As an example, here we provided two small free magics for Answer: ➢ Provide a “code promo” or free shipment for the indecisive customers (those who stay on the shopping page for 10 minutes and have put some products into the cart). It will be the critical effect on the purchase decision. Sometimes customers just need a reason to buy. ➢ There is a pricing strategy, which called “Anchoring effect”: The price gap between the Anawhel bags with and without batteries is 29 euros. We found that the price of a similar power bank is 10 euros. That will make the customers get a feeling of loss, so they may not buy the batteries, even the bag. We could reduce the gap to 9 euros: the original one is 140 euros, and the one with batteries is 149 euros. “Add only 9 euros for an innovative fashion bag with batteries” 6. Post-purchase evaluation The better way to improve the value creation is defining the outcomes that really matter, analyzing historical performance of satisfied and dissatisfied customers, and focusing on customer satisfaction issues with the highest payouts. 2) Put ads on YouTuber’s videos those who always make traveling Vlog, especially traveling in French because the audience is almost our target customers. And as we all know, YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world. Price: With an average cost-per-view ranging between $10 –$30. Also, count your overall YouTube views.

Evaluation of Alternatives Standing out from the competition doesn’t mean a customer will purchase your product or service. In fact, now more than ever, customers want to be sure they’ve done thorough research before making a purchase. For that reason, even though they might be sure of what they desire, they will still want to compare other options to make sure their decision is the right one.

Millennials and the luxury sector 5. Financing opportunities Provence is an attractive idea for consumers worldwide, especially for the Chinese people, and this market share is yet to be cultivated. However, it requests a more sophisticated business plan and a well-organized roadshow presentation to stretch out its potentials to be profitable; no matter in the cash flow level or an intangible improvement level. It means a more robust business model and brand uniqueness. 2. Chinese consumers and investors Cater Chinese consumers and focus and Chinese emerging market trend thus attracting more Chinese VC/PEs. We want to emphasize on this part is because we see high possibility of a Sino-French win-win M&A between French light luxury brand and Chinese capital groups, if you use our strategy you can either find more opportunities to get invested by a Chinese fund or open your Chinese market. Chinese investors are in a single position to extract significant returns from what is now becoming a Chinese luxury sector. But financial success is not guaranteed. A focus on the issues and circumstances underlying the brand’s performance as highlighted above should help investors define which of the luxury brands will survive the demands of Chinese consumers. One more important thing to know: you don't have to open a Chinese market to get invested or be an acquisition by Chinese capital, you need to prove uniqueness, profitability and potential to expand, they will be thinking about localization strategy after M&A. Thus, an efficient and less risky way to start in via e-commerce. 3. Digitalization Focus on digitalization and E-commerce is the start point. the Chinese outbound PE/VCs have a universal preference on the digitized luxury brands, which means you either have established channels for digital selling channels (your website) or have the group to support that. Potential partners without an entry cost: ➢ mia.com; ➢ xiaohongshu.com; ➢ yMatou.com; ➢ TMALL.com; ➢ vip.com Entry into Chinese Market and Financing opportunities 1. Introduction Brands need to build digitalization and E-commerce. TargetedVisibility & Reputation are a Luxury brands most significant asset in a ‘digital-centric’ market. As a luxury proposition, you need to build this solid brand reputation by focusing on certain platforms and communities. The discerning Chinese fashionista spends on average 2 hours per day browsing online. For high-value products, the level & degree of research by the consumer is typically higher. Anyone who’s spent time in China will instantly notice how digitally oriented this modern society has become from WeChat to Cross-Border Commerce, Shopping Forums & PR you must make an impact to the target demographic in the online sphere if you drive sales. Fill up at least ten inches of column with actual article text. Page 24 IL ETAIT UN FIL 4. Millennials and the luxury sector Millennials are the future dominating consuming power in China. That is often a case of the famous ‘Little Emperors Syndrome,’ growing family wealth connect with the “One Child Policy” conduct to entire family entity provision to a single child. As a result, more funds have been available to Millennials from wealthy backgrounds coupled with insatiable consumer demand for quality brands. With such a massive surge of luxury enamored youths across China, striking into this market and creating brand loyalty can generate dividends for years to come with individuals so early in their consumption life cycle. Furthermore, we created a pyramid tool to win Chinese millennials (Image aside). However, it does not mean that Anawhel should forget about or abandon the current user base or develop a distinct set of plans for Chinese Millennials. Furthermore, it does not mean that play at the level 4 of the pyramid it the aim, since that distinct levels are appropriated for different brands and Millennials should not be treated as an alien species whose needs never overlaps with their audience. Finally, Anawhel should, at the least, ensure meet the right practice principles of level 1 that will provide you keep Millennials on side. It should think of the pyramid levels as behaviors for distinct types of brands look for cross-generational commonalities between Millennials and your user base. When we talk about financing opportunities, there is no single path, many sources are available and the firm should consider each one as an opportunity to grow fast and it depends on what stage the company are. Additionally, the company should be careful with large offers which could cost large shares of the company. Next sections show many alternatives. Potential Chinese investors. Such as Fosun, which has a significant focus on the wellbeing and happiness when choosing portfolios, so a newly started (which means lower cost and space to grow) luxury brand originated from a unique region (such as Province) can be an attraction for an angel/A round financing. Fosun recently founded the Fosun Fashion Group to deepen its foothold in the global luxury market. Contact: Send a BP to zhangdm@fosun.com, Paris office Your city’s entrepreneurial community.
