    It is an undeniable fact that communication is important in advertising. The word of mouth can be powerful and viral despite if the information is positive or negative, when it travels on the Internet (Mohr 18). It allows followers to exchange their point of views and share their experiences. Social media connects fashion brands with consumers in a way that it develops a certain sort of relationship between them and spread the word of mouth over the Internet in relatively short period of time. For example, the twenty seconds video of Gucci’s new women fragrance called “Gucci Bamboo” has generated over three millions of views on youtube in just two days and over one millions of tweets from followers all around the world. This way of engaging consumers was not possible with traditional advertising and it is efficient in a way that it attracts potential…

    Growing a brand today is about finding authentic values that consumers share, and leveraging those in a way that spurs exponential growth. However, at some point all the value sharing has to translate into sales. Brands today don’t just take off base on a single ad campaign, they are based off of social media such as tweets, posts, likes, yelps, and follows. “We work hard and we play hard,” says Human Resources Director Heidi Wilkens of the MetaVision Media team. “The marketing world is rich in jargon. “We have a thousand ways to talk about what we do and how we do it” (MetaVison). Sometimes people in the business world get so caught up in the company’s business, they forget about the people at the heart of the business. MetaVison Media…

    Traditionally, Retail marketing has focused on market share and customer acquisition rather than on retaining existing customers and on building long-lasting relationships with them. More recently, however, market share has been gradually losing its revered status as marketing’s holy grail and the wisdom of focusing solely on customer acquisition (hoping that this effort will compensate for high levels of defection) is now being seriously questioned and considered as very high risk since ever more players enter an increasingly crowded marketplace. In response to these changes there has been a new emphasis on defensive marketing, which focuses on holding on to existing customers and getting more custom from them (higher “share of customer”), in contrast to activities which focus on winning new customers. Calls for a paradigm shift to the pursuit of loyalty as a strategic business goal have become increasingly popular over the recent years.…
