Price Place Promotion 4 Situational Analysis: The Company Financial Situation: In the year 2009, it can be noted that the world in general suffers from an economic problem which is that of the recession and as a result of it, many fashion retailers in the industries are affected by this situation in many ways. As stated by Shields (2009), it can be noted that the economy conditions have affected Calvin Klein in terms of it’s net sales which fell from $561 million to that of the current $529. million dollars. Besides this, it can be noted that the royalty, advertising and other revenues in the second quarter of 2009 had decreased by 10. 9% causing the revenue to drop to $71. 9 million as compared to the previous year second quarter of $80. 7 million. In the area of Calvin Klein Licensing segment, the royalty revenue decreased 6% for the second quarter, due to the decrease in a constant exchange rates resulting in the sales reduction in the fragrance business, which continues to be affected by the reductions in travel and discretionary spending.
In terms of advertising, it can be viewed that Calvin Klein’s advertising and other revenue decreased $4. 1 million in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to that of the previous year due to the result of lesser discretionary spending in 2009 as compared to 2008 by Calvin Klein’s licensees.

Through this, it can be noted that Calvin Klein is a brand that is diverse in the product range thus able to gain hold of a higher market share in the industry.
Though the brand may be known for being a “modern, practical fashion and minimalist chic”, the brand positioning changes in terms of advertising. In the world of advertising, Calvin Klein can be viewed as a brand that uses sex appeal to draw interest to the particular product range, in order to increase the sales of the products advertised. In some instances, sex appeals have been viewed as overly-used by Calvin Klein in terms of it’s advertisements campaign as some of the adverts that uses sex in the advertising are viewed as irrelevant to the product being advertised thus showing no connections at all.
As such, over the years, Calvin Klein’s advertising campaigns are widely known for it’s controversial and provocative images, as seen in the three images here. In recent times, the top image, which is the adverts for the Calvin Klein Jeans 2009 campaign, have received tremendous news and reports with regards to the adverts and with some stating that it is considered to be a form of “soft pornography” as with the recent article on Fox News. Through this, it can be viewed that Calvin Klein can be viewed as a brand that uses shock value and controversy which will raise issues in order to gain publicity.

This segments consists of the key strategic campaign decision, the media strategy plan, the message strategy, other tools required to support the campaign as well as the campaign management. 1. Key Strategic Campaign decisions ??? The target audience of this campaign would be directly on it’s loyal customers and potential customers.

The message of the campaign is designed to be similar to the past campaigns so as to bring forth a sense of reminiscence in the minds of the targeted audience, while at the same time, the adverts will spark off a whole new message which is that of the product being versatile and the adverts still consist of provocative and controversial impression. 14 Strategy Brief Strategies: 4. Campaign Management ???The evaluation of the effectiveness of the campaign can be seen with the increase in sales of the products being advertised. The budget of the campaign would be $30, 000 to cover all the costs incurred in the carrying out of the campaign. Tactics: 1. Message of the Campaign ??? As the brand is always known for it’s controversial and provocative portrayal of the models in the adverts, it is therefore an advantage for CK Underwear to use this situation as it’s brand positioning. However, besides the use of only sexual appeal in the adverts, the campaign should include thought-incurring images that will left a deep impression in the minds of the audiences. 2.
Media Selection ???In order to ensure that the media selected for the campaign is targeted at the target audience, surveys can be done by surveyor to determine the usual places that the target audience would frequent in order to ensure the adverts are place in the right place so as to be cost effective and effective in reaching out to the target audience in the most efficient way as well. ???The schedules of the media placement would be determined by the gathering of the information of special events that is taking place in Singapore such as the Great Singapore Sale during the period of May-July 2010.
As this period of time would be a season of sales, it would be suitable for the advertising campaign to start in the month of March so as to gather as much awareness of the brand and sales of the new products before the sales period begins. 3. Campaign Evaluation ???In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the campaign with regards to the awareness level, surveys can be done in the middle of the campaign so as to determine if the campaign is reaching out it’s target audience to a high or a low degree.
Besides this, the calculation of the sales increment of the products promoted in the adverts can be compared against either the previous adverts products or on products not advertised so as to determine if the adverts did result in the increase of sales of the products advertised. 15 Creative Brief Problem: ???The current problem faced by CK Underwear would be that of having lots of impact through it’s advertising campaign which displays of controversial and provocative messages that either attracts or create a negative view from the society due to the issue of sexuality presented in the adverts. However, though CK Underwear and it’s other bridge lines of Calvin Klein received considerably high level of impact, it can be viewed that the impact did not translate to higher sales as reflected in the financial situations of the company as a whole. Target Audience: ???Demographics: The demographics of the targeted audience for the campaign would be mainly men and a portion of women who will buy boxers for males. These group of individuals will be between the age of 20 to late 30s individuals. These individuals may be possibly be a young urban professionals, sportsman or even a student. They are considered to be welleducated. nd have a middle range disposable income and discretionary income which is suitable to purchase CK Underwear as the products are priced at an affordable price range. ???Psychographics: The psychographics of the targeted audience for the campaign would be men who loves grooming and presenting themselves well. Besides this, they care about the comfort of what they wear and as such, they would not mind paying more for comfortable and beautiful underwear. These individuals may be brand conscious and is a follower of fashion. The individual may also be individuals who love seeing their girlfriend in their clothing.
Besides this, this group of target audience are viewed as more open to new ideas and concepts, and would not be easily offended by images that is controversial and provocative. ???Consumer Behavior: In terms of the spending habits of the targeted audience, it can be viewed that the targeted audience falls under the category of the hunter, one who takes risk to get ahead and is aggressive about money, equating it with happiness and achievement; the splurger, one who is selfindulgent, prefers to buy lxury items and is self-centered and lastly; the striver, who believes that money makes the world go round, and thus equates money with power. 6 Creative Brief Brand Position: ??? Brand Positioning: In order to maintain the brand positioning of being controversial and provocative so as to maintain it’s competitive advantage, it is therefore important to include both elements into the campaign. In order to be controversial, thought-incurring images should be included and in this case, a female model is use to promote a male boxer shorts. To be provocative, sexual appeals is required so that the brand would maintain it’s positioning and make the adverts more appealing to it’s target audience.
When CK Underwear was first started in the year 1982 for male underwear, it has received many loyal customers due to the success of it’s adverts and in this campaign, elements of the previous adverts would be included into the campaign so as to remind it’s loyal customers that CK Underwear is still promising the same promise to it’s customers. Communication Objectives: ??? Message of the campaign: The message of the campaign is to not only speak to the targeted audience, but at the same time, it is also to create a specific response to the message by the target audience.
In this campaign, the adverts messages would be to allow the customers and it’s target audience to be able to find an edge with the image of the adverts while at the same time, recapturing the image and spur the reminiscence of the previous CK Underwear and reputation into the minds of the viewers so as to not only create the response of the purchasing of the products advertised, but also to create a response which is that of the increase in the the loyalty of the customers and through this, there will be changes of word-of-mouth promotions done by our target audience.
Proposition/ Selling Idea: ??? Selling Idea: The selling idea of the campaign would be based on the images of the female model wearing of the male boxer shorts, it can be seen that the boxer shorts can be viewed as versatile and comfortable to the extend that a female can wear the shorts, it would make the boxer shorts more appealing to the targeted audience. 17 Creative Brief Media Considerations: ??? Where the message will be delivered: The advertisements images of the campaign would be placed in print media such as magazines and posters.
Magazines are a good way of advertising as it has itself created it’s own target market and as such, CK Underwear adverts would be effective in reaching out to it’s target market if it’s placed at the magazines that the target audience frequently read. Print media such as the posters are useful in many ways. Posters for this campaign would be placed in store front, billboards, newsstand, bus stops and even underpass of shopping centres. Creative Directions: ??? Image of the adverts in the campaign: The image of the adverts would be that of a female model in a boyfriend’s shirt and CK boxer shorts for men.
The feel of the entire image portrayed would be that of a ‘out-of-bed’ kind of look, but with the model still on a bed so as to reflect the idea that the model has just woke up and is seen wearing the boyfriend’s shirt and boxer shorts which also symbolizes the after sex image. Besides this, some other images of the adverts would portray the model’s boxer shorts being tugged and pulled at a man which can only be seen with the back of the body therefore emphasizing the fact that the boxers does not belong to the female portrayed in the adverts.
Besides this, the female model used for this campaign would be a woman with an androgyny feel so as to give off an image of manliness to the entire feel of the CK boxer shorts. The female model used for this adverts would be that of an Asian female as there have been a strong emphasis on European models through the 9 Countries 9 Men CK Underwear Competition. As such, a fresh look and face is required so as to create a whole new feel to the entire campaign while retaining it’s brand image. 8 Proposed Campaign Message Design and Execution: ???Message design: The message of the adverts campaign would be the slogan, “Nothing comes between me and his… Calvins”. The reason why this slogan would be used is to ignite similar feeling of the 1990s concept of “Nothing comes between me and my Calvins”. This slogan is used in the past to show that Calvin Klein’s products are a part of the individual and nothing would come between the consumer and the products.
As such, this would create loyalty in the consumers as the brand is portrayed as personal to them. In this instance, the slogan would be twisted in a way that though the same feeling would be presented in the adverts, the use of a female wearing a boxer shorts and feeling comfortable about it would meant that the product is versatile as well as comfortable. ???Message Execution: The message of the dverts can be carried out through getting the model to display ease and comfort when wearing the boxer shorts and at the same time, being masculine and having an attitude about it. Media: ???Media selection: The media that will be used for this campaign would be that of the print media of magazines and posters. Posters will be situated at areas in Orchard Road such as placing it on a lamp stand near the road, newsstand, bus stand, underpass and in shopping malls itself. Campaign Budget: ???Budget: The budget for this campaign adverts would be $30,000.
As this campaign is new in the sense that it is the first time an Asian female will be used for the campaign adverts, and also the first time a female model would be promoting for a male underwear, it can be viewed that more coverage is required to reach as many of the targeted audiences as possible so as to not only create an impact, but also to push for actions in the sense of the purchasing of the products by the consumers. 19 Media Plan February 2010 1. Finalist of 9 Countries 9 Men announced 2. Start of the new advertising campaign
March 2010 1. Launching of the advertising campaign in Print Media such as magazines like Style: Men etc. April 2010 1. Continuation of adverts in Print Media 2. Start of the placement of adverts in underpass of Orchard, placement of banners on road lamps and buildings 1. May 2010 Placement of adverts in shopping malls, bus stands, newsstands and continuation of the placement of adverts in magazines. 20 Campaign Ads 21 Outdoor Campaign 22 Outdoor Campaign 23 Outdoor Campaign 24 Campaign Ads 25 Unique Selling Preposition
The unique features of these adverts can be seen as that it gives a whole new look to the entire advertising campaign for CK Underwear and even to the entire industry’s underwear advertising. This is because a female model is being used to promote for a product that is rightfully for males. As such, this would attract the attention of not only the male target audiences, but the female audiences curiosity would be raised as to why a female would be wearing a male’s boxer shorts instead of a female boxer shorts.
Besides this, the female model used differs from the past campaigns and from it’s competitors in that it uses an Asian model instead of the usual European or American model and this would captures the attention of not only the Asian market, but the European and American market as well. This is because the consumers are used to having a Caucasian female or male as a model, and as such, in order to bring about fresh ideas and images, Asian models may be able to help to bring forth this concept and thus this is unique as it is not frequently seen in the market.
The slogan would be part of the unique selling preposition as compared to competitors such as DKNY, D & G and Emporio Armani, they do not have any slogan with regards to the underwear lines in their advertising and as such, by having a slogan, CK Underwear would be able to communicate directly with the targeted audience and thus create better understanding of the concept of the brand as well as the adverts. 26 Desired Consumer Response The most important element of advertising is to be able to get the target audience to response in a few ways.
Firstly, through this advertising campaign, CK Underwear aims to be able to raise the awareness of the it’s target audience and potential target audience to the new products that is being launched. Besides wanting to create an awareness through the advertising with regards to the products being advertised (which is the boxer shorts), the advertising campaign is also aimed at reminding the consumers of the brand and it’s promise through the slogans.
As such, this advertising campaign aims to be a platform for CK Underwear to be able to gain consumers support and increase the loyalty of it’s current customers and thus, the desired consumer response of this advertising campaign would be to persuade the targeted audience and consumers to make purchases of the products when they see the adverts. Secondly, the advertising campaign also seeks to create an impact in the industry and strengthen it’s brand positioning of being controversial through the fact that a female is wearing a male underwear and the feeling of being provocative through the use of emale model who gives an image of sexuality and at the same time, an androgyny look in order to portray the masculinity of the brand. Thus, as this is being portrayed and carried out in the adverts, there will be concerns from the public with regards to the adverts and as such, this will lead to the consumer to response in either a positive or negative responses such as media’s report of the advertising campaign which will help to promote the brand as well. 27 Implementation & Evaluation Implementation: This advertising campaign will be implemented in Singapore as well as in European market in order to create a similar feel and build consistency with regards to the brand image as well as the advertising messages. ???This series of adverts would be carried out during the period of February 2010 to May 2010. ???The sequences of the setting up of the media plan would be done accordingly to the media plan. ???The launch of the product which is that of the CK Underwear Boxer Shorts would be in line with the launch of the new advertising campaign. Evaluation: There are various ways in which the campaign can be evaluated. ???The campaign will be evaluated based on the level of awareness of the adverts and this can be done through surveying of the target audience during the month of March-April 2010 to determine if the campaign is effective in reaching out to it’s target market. ???To determine if the message of the adverts is suitable or vice versa, CK Underwear marketing team would need to keep a lookout on the internet with regards to any negative or positive comments of the adverts in the forums or on the news. As the aim of an adverts is to increase the sales of it’s advertised product, there is a need to analyze if the campaign have helped to fulfill the objectives as stated in the strategy brief. This can be done by comparing the product’s revenue between the period from February-May 2010 with other products that is not being advertised. As the product is being launched in the same period as the advertising campaign, it is therefore easier to determine the effectiveness of the campaign through the analysis of the revenue earned. 28 Brief Summary of Proposed Campaign

Budget of the Campaign: ???The budget of the campaign would be $30,000 as the new launch of product and concept of using an Asian model would require more exposure than usual form of adverts.
