Urban Outfitters Digital Strategy
Urban Outfitters Digital Strategy
Zach Darmon
Target Audience
•Young adults starting at 17 all the way to people in their early
30’s. This is the age who not only still try’s to look fashionable,
but it’s the age that’s still fashion forward.
•Higher percentage women, but still aimed towards men.
Campaign reasoning
and goals
and goals
•Intense competition from H&M and Express Men
•Getting followers more involved via Twitter and Facebook
•Retaining first time customers and making them loyal
New Management
•Long-term CEO Glen Senk retired in 2012 giving
long-term president Richard Hayne the chance to
takeover the role.
•The new change leaves room for improvement in
social and digital campaigns
Big Idea
•Our big idea is to be a sponsor for 3 different music festivals;
Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and Coachella . All three are the most popular
music festivals in America and thus should be sponsored by the hippest
and trendiest brand.
•Concert goers all like to show off their newest and hippest outfits and like
to tweet and Instagram about them. Our goal will be for them to use our
hashtag #HipNTrendy with pictures of them wearing our clothing.
•Besides sponsoring these festivals, we want to also have pop-up shops at
the festivals where we can sell clothing that is specifically popular for
festivals.
#HipNTrendy
•The Hashtag that's going to be in the cornerstone of our campaign is
#HipNTrendy.
•Urban Outfitters is an extremely hip brand for the new age hipster or fashionista
and our goal is to attract people in our target audience who are hip or want to be
hip.
•Wether it be the newest song playing throughout the store or the unique way they
write your name on the dressing room Urban Outfitters is #HipNTrendy
Social Media Presence
•Besides being extremely active on both Facebook and Twitter we want to do a
better job of getting our followers to be active. Our followers can tweet a picture
of themselves or a cool thing they see in the city and if they post the picture with
the hashtag #HipNTrendy they have a chance of being reposted on either
Facebook or Twitter page.
•Also we plan on being very active with our Pintrest page so that our female
audience can post picture of what they’re wearing to inspire others to look like
them and buy from us.
Google Adwords
•Besides our festival campaign and our Social Media
strategy, the rest of our budget is going to go towards
Google Adwords to help with SEO.
•2 phrases we’re going to pay for are
1.Hip Style 2. Young and Free
•Both of these not only go with our hashtag, but they
also go along with the essence of Urban outfitters and
it’s our competitive edge against our competition.
Budget
•I can safely say with all things considered that
$350,000 should be enough for me to run an effective
digital marketing campaign.
•The Price of the Festival pop-up stores are a little
difficult to predict, but 350,000 should be enough
Summary
•I plan on using Facebook and Instagram to connect with the
target audience that are our fans. Mixed with our Google
Adwords campaign and the lack of a blog I know we can
budget this out so that the campaign will be effective.
Besides that, the big idea of sponsoring music festivals and
having pop-up stores there is a great way for us to get ahead
of H&M and Express men which are our main competitors.
I’m very confident this campaign is going to work an that
we’re going to not only increase our fan base, but also our
revenue.
