Role of AdvertisingBased on a year long advertising branding campaign, it is the goal of the advertising campaign to break into the market by breaking into the minds of the consumers.

Specifically the advertising must convey the branding image, thereby create brand awareness, announce the flagship store and increase interest to attend the opening.

Target Customer Speaks UpAs a presenter and writer for CBS Interactive on CNet Asia website, I enjoy the work I do reviewing the latest technology and gadgets. Dress wise, I like to shop for trendy and sexy clothes for the clubs but I also have an array of stylish office outfits for work. Going out with my friends to shop and clubs is a way I let loose after work. It is also a time I meet new friends and build up my network as I share with them the interest and passion I have about technology, debating with them about whether the Andriod or the Apple OS system is better.

I love hair accessories, how they add style to my hair and match what I am wearing! Allure is a fantastic idea because I just can’t get enough of trendy, quality accessories at an affordable price complete my look.

Secondary consumers:Students that keep up with fashion and trends, will be pleased to purchase items that are of lower price points.
