Discussion 1: Mass Media Writing. (Product Advertising)

Product chosen : Uniqlo
Tagline : MADE FOR ALL 












Exploiting the medium
  • Radio & Television 
          - Have exclusive interviews with the founder of Uniqlo
          - Focus on those stations that attract the younger generation eg. Hitz fm, Red fm, Fly fm, 8tv quickie, 
            Mtv, etc.
  • Mobile phones
          - Promotion through SMS & MMS
  • Pamphlet
          - Theme : Red! Black! White! Simple
          - Easy for readers to read.
          - Promote Uniqlo's various collections of world's most famous cartoons such as Mickey Mouse, Hello
             Kitty, Barbie, etc
  • Newspaper
          - Takes up one whole page
          - Sale items solely on Uniqlo are shown
  • Billboards
          - Star power
          - Celebrities that modeled for Uniqlo eg. Orlando Bloom, Charlize Theron, etc.

Rank each medium
  • Most desirable distribution mode
          - Billboards 
          - Highways, small roads, train stations, almost anywhere a billboard can be found
  • Least desirable distribution mode
          - Mobile phones
          - Sms that is sent is through random selection
          - Usually the service provider will send the sms and most people don't bother reading it as they may
             think it is a gimmick.
