Page 3 Background Research

Savage X, Lingerie Market, and Fenty Brand Savage X Fenty is a lingerie line designed and produced by singer/ songwriter . Although the line is not sold in stores, they are fully stocked in selling bras, undies, and full lingerie line along with ‘Savage Xccessories’ to spice up the bedroom. According to Zion Market Research, the global lingerie market is valued at $38.19 billion in 2017 and projected to generate $59.15 billion by 2024. When Savage X Fenty was released all of the items sold out within 12 hours. Savage X Fenty sister line brought in around $100 million in revenue in just 40 days of its first launch. Also, Rihanna’s Fenty X line increased sales by 22% in Europe and 16% in the Americas. Current Xtra Savage Subscription: • Exclusive Pricing • Free Shipping • Rewards • Access to Limited Edition Collections • 2 Day Early Access to New Releases • $50 annual fee Subscription Boxes Subscription boxes are a marketing tool that is quite successful tactic. Subscription boxes increase revenue and product retention. It’s also a method that keeps consumers happy. The way it works, customers receive a monthly package containing products for a low price. The company would receive ongoing recurring revenue in return. Having a subscription service is an easy projection of incoming revenue for the upcoming months. Subscription boxes also creates brand awareness, and encourages consumers to try new products they may not have normally picked up in the store. The subscription e-commerce market has increased over 100% percent within the past five years. The largest retailers generating more than $2.6B in sales in 2016.

Page 4 Page 5 Subscription Box Breakdown We have proposed to expand upon the annual subscription Savage X Fenty offers. The current annual subscription is not highly known and we believe that with slight changes we could make a major increase in recall and memberships.

We will be creating a monthly subscription box called “The Fenty Box.” This subscription box will include either 3 pairs of panties, 2 bras, or a bra and pantie set. The box will also include travel or full size Fenty Beauty products.

With Rihanna fans being 3.7 times more likely to purchase something associated with her name and Fenty Beauty having over $100 million in revenue in just 40 days after launching, this box could be great for the Savage X Fenty brand. Contents of First “Savage Box”: • 1 Microfiber Thong (Picture #2)

• 1 Lace Cheeky (Picture #3)

• 1 Mesh Hipster (Picture #4)

• Bomb Baby Mini Lip and Face Set (Picture #1)

Page 6 Fenty App We have decided to create a Fenty App to increase sales through the convenience of a iPhone/Android app. This app is designed for customer convenience and comfortability. This app will give easy access to handle any all purchasing needs and it will appeal to everyone especially the younger demographic. Below are some examples of how the app will look.

All other examples can be found in Appendix B.

Page 7 Social Media Marketing The social media marketing campaign will consist of recurrent ads being posted on social media networks and a brand ambassadors partnerships with major beauty and lifestyle influencers.

Social Media Ads The same sponsored ads that are currently being used on all social media platforms can keep running as usual. We will run new ads that use clips from actually users of the Savage Box. Savage Ambassadors We have decided to come up with a team of 8 beauty and lifestyle influencers to be “Savage Ambassadors.” These women all represent different races, skin tones, sizes, and already have an existing relationship with our sister brand Fenty Beauty.
