IB3260: Buyer Behaviour Assignment Essay, 12 CATS, 2500 words Professor Qing Wang, Warwick Business School Submission date: Friday 12th March, 2010 Chosen Topic: “CAN HELLO KITTY CONTINUE TO RULE THE WORLD?” Based on Melinda Varley press article, Brand Strategy, February 2009, Issue 229, P32-36 (Attached Document) Sophie Jaffrennou “ALL THE WORK CONTAINED WITHIN IS MY OWN Erasmus Student UNAIDED EFFORT AND CONFORMS TO THE ID: 0938036 UNIVERSITY’S GUIDELINES ON PLAGIARISM” 2623 Words IB3260 – Buyer Behaviour Assignment – 12 CATS Essay, 2623 words – Sophie Jaffrennou ID: 0938036 Over the last few years, “Japanese manga, anime, fashion, and other pop culture has taken the world by storm”1: Astro Boy, Sakura, Pucca and many other famous Japanese brands have rushed into the Asian, the European and the North American fashion markets; but one of them, more than the others, seems to have a particular success and give rise to a real consumption fever: Sanrio‟s mascot called Hello Kitty. Celebrating its 35 years of existence in 2009, Hello Kitty is not only a simple cute, innocuous cat face but also a very lucrative one, known as the “$1 billion”2 lifestyle brand. Both these global, contagious and money-making aspects make what some observers named the “pink globalization” 3an interesting phenomena to analyze from the consumer behaviour point of view. In order to elucidate the key elements of Hello Kitty‟s appeal to the whole world‟s consumers, we will try to identify the different attributes, steps and then influences which lead people to purchase a Hello Kitty product, despite their dissimilar intentions or devotion levels for the brand.

Hello Kitty: a Brand Made of Cuteness
Hello Kitty: A Brand Made of Cuteness Sara Kovarovic Keywords: Hello Kitty / Sanrio / female marketing Abstract In 1974 Sanrio Co. Ltd. introduced a character named Hello Kitty, who since then has had a large impact on young girls and women throughout the world. The character began in Japan, where Sanrio Co. Ltd. is based, but is very popular in America as well. In Japan “kawaii”, or the cute aspect, influences the way consumers view Hello Kitty. Children in Japan enjoy the small aspects of the character, whereas women like the innocence of Hello Kitty and the character brings out their nurturing nature. In America, women are drawn to Hello Kitty for different reasons, such as the youthful appeal of the character and the large availability of the products. Young girls in America are drawn to Hello Kitty’s appearance and colors. The simplicity of Hello Kitty’s design enables consumers to project her emotions onto the character and in turn Hello Kitty can reflect anyone’s personality. The consumer is really what makes Hello Kitty a successful character. It is difficult to say if Hello Kitty will continue to be popular in years to come, however the marketing of ‘cute’ is sure to persevere. Hello, Hello Kitty Hello Kitty is a highly recognizable character known throughout the world. A white kitten with two small black eyes, an orange nose, no mouth and a pink bow on her left ear, Hello Kitty has become a symbol of cuteness. In Japan, this cuteness is called “kawaii”, and it is part of the culture (Bremner).
