As casas de perfumes não são excepção à regra e acompanham esta tendência cada vez maior nas sociedades modernas. Os perfumes estão associados ao despertar de sensações e sentimentos que possuem um papel crucial nas relações sociais. Com a industrialização, produção em larga escala e com a moda, tem-se verificado uma evolução no seu uso, que poderá ser indicador de um determinado status ou simplesmente de afirmação de características de personalidade. Não é uma necessidade concreta mas é tida como imprescindível nas relações sociais. Se, na antiguidade o uso de um tipo de perfume determinava a classe social, actualmente o mesmo não se verifica, pois o que é transmitido são os valores da marca. Da união dos perfumes à publicidade, verificou-se este crescimento emergente no uso de perfume, em assumir uma “nova personalidade” ao usar um determinado perfume. Presente em muitos meios de comunicação: televisão, outdoors, revistas merecem ser estudados pela capacidade da sua linguagem verbal e não verbal em transmitir muito mais do que, muitas vezes, sentir o cheiro do perfume. Trabalham muito o desejo de ter esse perfume e de pertencer ao grupo que o consome. Numa sociedade onde se valoriza muito a saúde, a beleza e o bem-estar, qualquer marca de perfume utiliza esta poderosa técnica que já deu provas do seu sucesso devido ao seu carácter universal. A publicidade a perfumes tem dado provas ao longo dos tempos, que é possível fazer o consumidor sonhar através de um anúncio de revista, despertando os seus sentidos através de elementos visuais presentes em cada anúncio, conseguindo transportar o receptor para um mundo paralelo, um mundo de sensações e emoções fortes. Perante esta realidade, nasce o problema a ser estudado com esta investigação: Que significados são atribuídos aos anúncios de revista a perfumes para mulher em comparação com os de homem? Após a definição do problema a ser estudado, seleccionou-se a amostra de 40 anúncios, 20 femininos e 20 masculinos, publicados nas revistas de moda GQ e ELLE com distribuição nacional entre Setembro de 2010 e Junho de 2011. 6 O objecto de estudo deste trabalho é encontrar que significados são atribuídos aos anúncios destinados ao consumidor final feminino e masculino, tentando perceber se os estereótipos por género se mantêm na nossa sociedade, nomeadamente na construção dos anúncios publicados nas revistas de moda femininas e masculinas, em particular nos anúncios de perfumes. Esta escolha deveu-se ao facto de ser um segmento de produto bastante apreciado e valorizado na nossa sociedade e de possuir uma identidade visual muito forte, quer em termos de cor utilizada quer em termos de valores transmitidos, sendo a sua aplicação bastante intensa. Este trabalho pretende avaliar as peças publicitárias veiculadas em revistas com o objectivo principal de analisar as relações de género do consumidor final na publicidade através da construção dos anúncios impressos a perfumes. Foram, também, estabelecidos os seguintes objectivos específicos para este estudo: - Identificar quais são as cores mais usadas em anúncios para homem e em anúncios para mulher. - Identificar as principais diferenças na linguagem corporal dos anúncios de homem e de mulher. - Perceber que sensações e emoções surgem na linguagem publicitária escrita a perfumes, baseado no género do consumidor final. - Identificar que modelos de mulher e de homem estão presentes na amostra em análise. Definidos a questão de partida e os objectivos deste estudo, já estamos em situação de definir as hipóteses que serão testadas: H1: A linguagem corporal, nomeadamente o sorriso, está mais presente nos anúncios para mulher em comparação com os anúncios para homem H2: As cores aplicadas nos anúncios para mulher são mais apelativas em comparação com as cores aplicadas nos anúncios para homem H3: Existe uma maior representação de personagens famosas nos anúncios masculinos em comparação com os anúncios femininos. H4: A característica de sedução está mais evidenciada nos anúncios para mulher em comparação com os anúncios para homem Para dar resposta à questão de partida, e tendo

  • Sample Presentation
    Sample Presentation This is a sample I have written up for your presentation project. It’s written in note-taking format and would probably not be read out verbatim to your audience, but it contains all the relevant information the speaker wants to convey. When you present, start with your thesis, i.e. whether or not the commercial is effective and why. Then you may proceed as you like; however, I would suggest starting by explaining the content—a summary of the commercial, if you will—before giving your analysis. This commercial analysis is very rhetoric-heavy since there’s a lot to work with in the song. Your commercials may be more sparing on their words. Remember to always pay attention to the content of the language, no matter how much or little there is. I have explored the product, effectiveness, content (who it’s depicting, what we see and hear), as well as audience, purpose, persuasive rhetoric, and persuasive images. Your presentation should probably encompass all of these things, but you may, of course, add to the list of things you explore. Commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk5BR9YR6tc Keira Knightley – Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Product: Perfume ad (Chanel) – Coco Mademoiselle is one of their perfumes Effectiveness: This commercial is effective in creating a positive association with Chanel’s CM Perfume. Through the use of a famous love song and its arrangement of beautiful and compelling images, it conveys an impression of romance, beauty, elegance, and fun, associations which are good for an expensive perfume to send to an audience.

This study explored luxury fashion brands’ transition from traditional marketing strategies into the current “digital age” and experiential economy. The research encompassed a 2-phase qualitative content analysis: Phase 1 used an inductive approach that analyzed and categorized print advertisement images from Vogue US 1980 and 2013 into 3 major categories— types of product or service, overall presentation, and overall appearance of digital content. Phase 2 consisted of a deductive approach that examined Chanel’s and Burberry’s online and social touchpoints.

Because even beyond our important role to play in the history of fragrance, Britain is once again becoming a fragrant force to be reckoned with. At the Perfume Society HQ, barely a week goes by without news reaching us of art projects, collaborations and entire new fragrance brands that are completely (and in some cases, literally) home-grown. So we couldn’t be more proud to dedicate an entire edition to all the fragrant excitement on our doorstep. We start with a fascinating timeline of British perfume houses. On p.11-26, Suzy Nightingale shares the story of many of the famous names which illuminate our scented history, from Floris (founded in 1730 and still going strong on Jermyn Street, in London’s St. James’s), right up to today, with perfume houses like Floral Street, Ormonde Jayne and Shay & Blue flying the flag for home-grown scent creativity on the world stage. Meanwhile, down in Dorset’s Tarrant Valley, one new British perfume house is daring to make scents that take us from field to flacon. We’ve all heard about field-to-fork, in food circles; today, Parterre are doing that with fragrance.

  • Different Types of Denim Fabric
    Different Types of Denim Fabric Contributor By Shelley Moore, eHow Contributing Writer Article Rating: (3 Ratings) • • • • Add to Favorites • • Denim clothing never goes out of style. It's attractive and durable, perfect for most casual occasions. Denim is most common as the fabric in jeans, but is also used for shirts, jackets, skirts, dresses, hats, handbags and more. Several different types of denim fabric are available depending on the function and look people are after. Cotton Serge 1. The traditional denim is 100 percent cotton serge. Additionally, denim is often blended with other fabrics. Raw Denim 2. Raw denim is dark, unwashed fabric that is stiff and very durable. It fades with wear in certain areas, creating a natural distressed look. It also fades with washing. Selvage Denim 3. The premium type of raw denim fabric is selvage denim, with tight weaving and natural edges that will not unravel. Selvage denim is more expensive than other raw denim. Stretch Denim 4. The blend closest to pure denim is called stretch denim, which usually includes 2 or 3 percent Spandex material for a bit of give in the fabric. Poly-Denim 5. Poly-denim blends look like a dressier denim, and are more lightweight, which makes them more convenient to wash and dry. They also are more resistant to wrinkling. Ramie-Denim 6. Denim is also sometimes blended with the plant fiber ramie, which reduces wrinkling and gives the fabric a softer feel.

    Irina Guseva Storytelling as a marketing tool. Case Study: Chanel Case Chane Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Business Administration International Business and logistics Bachelor’s Thesis Date 30 April 2021 Abstract Author Irina Guseva Title Storytelling as a marketing tool: case Chanel. Number of Pages 57 pages + 2 appendices Date 30 April 2021 Degree Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Programme International Business and Logistics Instructor/Tutor John Greene, Lecturer The purpose of this study was to indicate how storytelling influences consumers of the luxury brand Chanel. Storytelling is a marketing tool that tells the story about the brand in order to attract and retain customers, enhance brand awareness and consumer loyalty. Chanel is a luxury fashion brand established in 1910 in France by the creator and founder of the company Gabrielle Chanel. She has had a tremendous impact on the fashion world, providing revolutionary ideas and liberating women. Her creations were fresh, bold, unusual and very successful. The marketing and brand have been constructed around her life and creative endeavours. This study identified how the brand is able to convey a brand’s message and brand’s values through storytelling and how consumers of the brand perceive the brand’s message and the brand itself. Qualitative research methodology was mainly utilised for this study consisting of 3 semi- structured interviews, in English and Russian. The participants of the interviews are keen followers of fashion and are Chanel brand consumers. The secondary data was represented by a review of the scientific articles, articles about Chanel, Youtube and Instagram images and fashion videos.
