Ch.10 product concepts

In fact, product concept doesn't mean only the concept but also it includes the service before and after purchase products. Uniqlo dose it in many ways.
For example, in online, it shows the explainment about products. You can choose women, men, or kid and if select one of them, next more details comes up such as swear, underwear, t-shite, knit or so on. The each category like woman,man and so on is product item and all these are making product line of Uniqlo. And once you click woman, you will see product line depth of woman items.

Ch.17 Personal selling and sales management

Personal selling is more important as the number of potential customers decreases ,as the complexity of the product increases, and as the value of the product grows because the salespersons are there to provide explanation while advertisement or sales promotion can't do the same way for customers.
I have a sister and she works in Uniqlo store as part job. Let me show you how Uniqlo manage workers like my sister. First, when she got a job, Uniqlo gave her a HANDBOOK which states what worker should be under working at Uniqlo store. The HANDBOOK indicates rules at the store. It starts from introducing Uniqlo company and the store to client relations minutely. Im the rule of before attending at work, how to put the name in the attendance book or the worker must confirm campaigns at the time. In the rule of words, the workers have codes about specific things such as honing to rest room, finding a shoplifter, and money changing between workers. In the rule of working process in the store, it show that they must to do morning assembly, resister, arrange of products, correspondence at fitting room, revision, stocking shelves, cleaning up the store. Moreover, it states about correspondence to claimers.
I usually heard that working in Uniqlo store is very hard but very good experience so if a person was working as worker at Uniqlo store, he or she can get a job easier than people who don't. According my sister's story, I think that's true. Even part of job worker is needed specialist as salesperson. Therefore, the Uniqlo worker can the sales relationships.

Ch.16 Advertising, public relations, and sales promotion

Uniqlo's CEO said that advertisement is one of important part for selling its products. Uniqlo uses mainly commercial on TV and build bard for advertisement. In addition, it enphasises new products and promotion on these advertisement. For example, on October 22, Uniqlo started a new commercial about launching "Urlra Right Down" for this winter. In commercial, it informed how much it's useful and warm, how to promote than last season, it shows variety color and designs, and variety wearing styles.






While Uniqlo uses commercial for advertisement, it also uses build bird.

In this type advertisements, Uniqlo uses famous actress, actter, and models, also it shows the price which is low and one of strong point in Uniqlo.
