...people in dealing with their complicate lives and satisfying their fast footstep. To conveniently carry computers and efficiently use them in daily work, increasingly people pursue portability, utility and fashion. So Tablets and Ultrabooks are“born” at the right moment. In order to promote laptops, many manufacturers always campaign on the slogan "it is an Ultrabook" on the margins of Ultrabooks. So in 2011, Intel corporation conceived an Ultrabook and defined as “an Ultrabook ” is a mini notebook computer designed to provide similar or superior computing functionality as that of a standard laptop but with less size, weight and an extended battery life”. Now, the term has extended to refer to a new category of notebook computers that sits somewhere between lightweight laptops and Tablets. However, Tablets and Ultrabooks are obviously different. A Tablet computer, or simply Tablet, is a mobile computer with display, circuitry and battery in a single unit. We know that Tablets are often equipped with sensors, including cameras, microphones and touchscreens, and with finger or stylus gestures replacing computer mouse and keyboard. In this thesis, I will explain the similarity and contrast of Tablets and Ultrabooks. Then you will find the large potential of Ultrabooks. By comparing both of them, I predict that Ultrabooks will be the stronger market leader and replace the latter in the future. Similarity Although consumers have different choices between Tablets and Ultrabooks, there...

...University for the Creative Art Directed by Mo Tomaney Written by Yu-Han, Lin (Monica) Date: 19th January 2012 MA Fashion Management and Marketing Introduction Yohji Yamamoto is a Japanese poet, a philosopher of Eastern aesthetics, and as known, he is a fashion designer. When people talk about Yohji Yamamoto, it seems impossible to discuss his early work without referencing Rei Kawakubo. Both of them were born in the war era, obviously, it can be told from their collections that the later stage of the Second World War left some significant influences. Their concept of fashion and design are similar, and also the way they express their concerning about societal and global issues are usually positive. A functional elegance and sobriety is their philosophy. As people know, black is the essential colour they always apply in their every seasonal collection. As Yamamoto explained, “Black is modest and arrogant at the same time…It means that many things go together, yet it takes different aspects in many fabrics…But above all black says…don’t bother me!” (2000 cited in English, 2011: 46) Besides, their attitude about choosing fabrics and respect for the wholeness of the body are similarly severe and carefully. The aesthetic they present is considered very ideological. For example, bias-cutting, irregularly overlapping design, applying washed fabrics and dark colour, anti-fashion, and anti-beauty are all their well-known characteristics. Furthermore, the most important concept they tried...

...Now a global brand, Uniqlo began international expansion with the opening of the first UK store in 2001, and it is Uniqlo UK which will be the focus of this report. After introducing itself to the UK, it was not long before Uniqlo had 23 stores across England. However, the brand's simple designs did not prove popular and within two years 18 stores were closed (Marketing, 2007). Since its relaunch in 2007, Uniqlo UK has been gaining momentum, but it still has a long way to go towards becoming a leading fashion retailer in Britain. Consequently, this report aims to further this momentum through the development of a new integrated marketing communications campaign which would be implemented in 2010. Summary Context Analysis Customer Context Segment Characteristics Uniqlo currently targets a very wide audience, describing its key demographics as: Male and female; Fashion-conscious; Cost-aware; and aged between 16 and 96! (UNIQLO UK) Calgary Avansino, Executive Fashion Editor of Vogue magazine, has personally experienced the wide appeal of the Japanese brand. She said, “the store is for a young customer but at the same time I went with my mum who is 60 and she bought the skinny jeans in taupe and burgundy” (The Independent, 2009). However, the lack of focus which comes with having such broad segmentation results in an unclear brand identity, thus making it harder for Uniqlo to stand out. Brand Awareness, Perception & Attitudes Awareness Every single one of Uniqlo's...

...make a first impression. A person is judged by what they wear and how they look. For example, it is probable that many people would perceive a person wearing ratty clothes as uneducated and irresponsible while a person looking pristine in a designer ensemble is assumed to be intelligent and successful. In every city, there are multiple fashion brands with different styles and ranges of apparel and accessories. Every season, new styles and designs are created which influence society. It appears as if more types of clothing exist than the actual number of people. With so many different alternatives of fashion, the fashion industry is trying to please too many customers with variety. There are currently various styles to choose from, and the clothes people wear categorize or label them long before they realize it. The three fashion brands that will be analyzed extensively are Chanel, Nike, and Hot Topic. These brands have apparel but are completely different in their target audience. Chanel is a prestigious high-fashion brand; Nike is a popular athletic line; Hot Topic is musically and artistically edgier with a smaller target audience between the three. With these apparel brands, a person wearing each would be labeled or even stereotyped. One wearing a Chanel’s 2012 Spring/Summer ready-to-wear designer outfit with a white jacket, lambskin dress with pearls, and a glass pearl belt would be labeled as rich, successful, and intelligent. Another wearing Nike running apparel consisting...

...In this task, I am going to be describing and comparing how marketing techniques are used to market products in two organisations. The first organisation I will be talking about is Apple, and the second being Coca Cola. Marketing means that a business will identify the needs of the consumer and produce products that meet the requirements of them. In order for a business to perform and succeed, it needs to make sure that their customers are at the heart of operations. Should businesses do this, it would mean that they are market-orientated. As well as this, there are other forms of orientation for business. These include; * The production concept * The sales concept When a business uses a marketing concept, and putting customers at the heart of decisions. By doing this, a business operates more efficiently by prioritising investments on product development for the customers. Objectives In order for a business to grow and succeed, it is essential that it has its objectives outlined. The first aim a business will have when it starts out, is to survive. Once this goal has been achieved, it means that they can now focus on growth objectives, which means that they can focus on increasing market share and increasing profits. When businesses set objectives, they follow SMART guidelines. SMART stands for; * Specific – The objective must be clear and concise * Measureable – Objectives must be able to assess properly * Achievable – The objective needs to be reasonable...
