Scent of Success taking the stink out of rubber became this couple’s key to their own business.

PROUDLY PHILIPPINE-MADE

Catering to the A and B markets, Orange Days Marketing uses top quality rubber for Mallos flip-flops. The footwear products come with fragrances such as Raspberry and Powder Fresh for ladies. Recently, the company also introduced musk-scented flip-flops for men.
With soft soles, all Mallos flip-flops are lightweight and come in colors like black, white, gray, beige, brown and navy blue. For its bags and accessories collection, the company uses mostly canvas.
To penetrate the tough flip-flop market, the company has opened its doors to design contributions from artists based in the country. As a bonus, Mallos will print the designer’s name on the flip-flops.

RUBBER STINKS – THAT’S why some people wash or rinse a new pair of slippers before wearing them. But what if these flip-flops weren’t so pungent? Mark Jao, whose family has been in the rubber business for more than 25 years, had a nose for this business opportunity. “Flip-flops are made of rubber, which has an unpleasant scent,” says the founder and the owner of Orange Days Marketing. “For us to stand out, we thought of offering something different in this industry.”
The first Mallos store was supposed to open at the Glorietta 2 in Makati City in October 2007. Unfortunately, a week before its opening date, the mysterious gas explosion that destroyed that wing of the Glorietta mall happened –which in turn changed the Jao’s plans.
With stocks in hand, the couple decided to introduce Mallos through a Christmas bazaar at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. Beyond their expectations, the consumer response was overwhelming and by January, their

    The key trend that has revolutionized the retail industry in all these years is the advent of internet as a major shopping channel. The traditional brick and mortar stores and the mall experience are getting negatively affected by the increasing use of internet as a shopping medium. To overcome the threat of ecommerce and online retailing, Mall of America's marketing team should make more efforts to continue their brand positioning of MOA as a unique tourist attraction and just not another shopping mall. In making future plans, the MOA's marketing team should try to distinguish themselves by providing new and unique experience to its visitors by continuously innovating and offering value added features to the mall. Further, internet should be extensively utilized as a tool to market the mall to consumers from outside the region.…

    Design products were usually demonstrated in trade shows and venues, but the owners decided not to attend such competitive fairs just yet. Instead, in 1982 they attended the Chicago Gift Show. The attendants of the show were gift shop owners or wholesalers, where bags were not sold frequently. Although they had an unfavorable place in the show, they managed to change to a more strategic place and made $10,000 revenue, which showed them they could and that they need to grow.…

    But now, according to the Times and thanks to the economy, women don't want their shoes to scream. Instead, they want classic pumps in flattering shapes that are comfortable enough to wear throughout the day, which means Manolos are back. Bergdorf Goodman has a wait list, Andre Leon Talley likens them to milk, "They're a staple, something you have to have in your refrigerator, like butter or milk," and SJP herself said of a recent photo shoot, "I walked in and looked around and saw all these shoes, and then I spotted the Manolos and it was like water in a desert."…

    David Guterson’s narrative about the Mall of America delves into several facets that are embedded throughout the mall both physically and mentally. A vivid description about the mall’s interior design makes the audience feel like they have visited the mall. Guterson also writes about how people, individually and as a society, are effected psychologically by this pseudo-metropolis. The grandeur of the mall is, without question, second to none. Shoppers are drawn to visit because of all the modern frills contained within. A theme park, arcade, hundreds of shops, and eateries are the staples of the mall, but the gardens, flowers, and trees define the mall as being “the best of the best.” The atmosphere created by combining “Mother Earth” with…

    At the start of the millennium, Zappos consisted of 150 brands and nearly 400,000 pairs of shoes. One of the main causes of Zappos early success was a $1.1 million investment of venture capital funding from Venture Frogs, “an investment and incubation firm that specialized in early-stage Internet, e-commerce, information and telecommunications technology” (Zeithaml, 2013, p. 500).

    Sneakers History

    To begin, the history could be an appeal to sneakerheads who buy them, which is why the sneakerhead business dragged in $1.1 million last year in shoes. The rubber-soled sneaker originated from the ancient Mayans, where they dipped their feet in liquid rubber and dries the rubber on their feet. The English developed a fabric canvas bonded to a rubber sole in 1830. They became known as plimsolls, named after the Plimsoll line on ships, the safe water mark. Only wealthy people could afford sneakers in 1868, because they were $6. It states in text 1, paragraph 3, that, “By 1877, the Sears, Roebuck catalog in…

    The baby boomer generation may be a difficult group to reach for this company. First I don’t think canvas shoes are primary footwear for this group. The advertising campaign they have possibly will not reach them also as most of it is done thru the internet and unconventional media outlets. I also don’t think they will react well to the buy one set of shoes and they will donate a pair on your behalf. I believe they will be skeptical about who the shoes will be donated to. They are a bit more financially conservative when it comes to buying things that are not essential.…

    Through his piece “Enclosed. Encyclopedic. Endured: the Mall of America.” David Guterson shares his experience of the Mall of America as it opened and its effects of the American culture. From sharing statistics about the amount of jobs available, the number of parking spots, or how much cash is dispersed each week from just the ATMs; Guterson allows readers to feel the massive scale of the mall. He shares stories of the people he met and his own views on the mall, and what it says about America and its people’s values. Guterson makes it clear that Americans have become too absorbed with the thoughts of materialistic belongings; and a mall, such as the Mall of America, only makes those thoughts that much worse and destroys the people’s values. Although the points Guterson makes about the crumbling values and presently true and I agree that materialism is a horrible quality for a person to have, the mall in itself is not a bad place. It brings joy to many people and not just through ways of materialism and buying everything your heart desires, but for the sheer pleasure of entertainment. When young children go to the mall with their parents and attend Camp Snoopy or go to LEGOLAND; that is not materialistic in the slightest. All in the entire mall is not the horrible place that Guterson makes it out to be.…
