See Now Buy Now. How Is The Industry Adapting To Fashion's Newest Movement?Fashionbi
A new sensation has emerged in the industry of fashion and luxury and the opinions are split between excitement and scepticism. See Now Buy Now is the "Pretail" model where what's on the runway is immediately made available in stores - closing the gap between the catwalk and retail. Burberry's CEO Christopher Bailey argues in favour of the concept by saying that “The changes we are making will allow us to build a closer connection between the experience that we create with our runway shows and the moment when people can physically explore the collections for themselves.” While brands like Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger and Tom Ford have already vowed to this new approach from the next collection onwards, more traditional luxury labels, mainly Italian and French houses are rather reluctant.

Chrome Communications - Case Study - The Silent Auction Pop-Up
1.
2. BACKGROUND
Mumbai. The fashion capital of India, also known as, the social cultural shock
factor of India. Where style and attitude is embed in everyone. Fashion designers
are plenty and individual fashion sense is resolute and authoritative. Two distinct
perspectives and plenty opportunities subsist together. Both are dreamers and
opportunists. We call them designers and buyers.
DESIGNERS BUYERS
How to approach the market Where to get new and creative products to
match their individual sensibilities
How to understand what their market
wants
Where to get what they want within their
budget
3. MATCH MAKING
It began with an idea: Creating a common ground for designers and buyers to establish
a conducive market. Thus began preparations for a conceptualized flea market – The
Silent Auction Pop Up.
The way it worked: Normally at a pop up event, if you like a product being sold you can
either buy it at the price it’s sold or move ahead without the product if it doesn’t fit in your
budget.
At the Silent Auction Pop Up, you have another option. BID for it.
At the end of the day the designers would review the bids they received. The decision to
accept the bid price on every item was completely dependent on the designer. If the
price quoted was agreeable, the bidder would be contacted and asked to collect their
bid item for the quoted price.
4. FAIR GAME
In general at an auction the product is already besought and the bidding starts from a
minimum price. In contrast, at the Silent Auction Pop up, the designers selling their
products are new entries in the market. They are looking for exposure and a sales outlet -
which can be bought at a price. But what’s more is that in The Silent Auction Pop Up they
would be able to get a better understanding of their product design in relation to the
potential markets ability to purchase.
On first thought the concept seems to be highly prejudiced towards the customers. If you
don’t want to pay the asking price, BID and you could possibly get what you want at the
price you want. But the seller may not agree to the price quoted. Hence the customer is
taking a chance at getting the desired product at the desired price. Or missing out on
the product completely.
6. Digital Marketing:Facebook
PROMOTIONS : CHARACTER POSTS
These character posts were quirky
and eye catching. They introduced
the idea that something unique and
fun was going to happen soon! And
it involved shopping which was an
important determinant of the TG.

the event.

The tie up with Cabzo had a 65% success rate
9. Digital Marketing:Facebook
Tie up : kingfisher
All 100 free Kingfisher beers were ‘sold out’
The first 100 shoppers who purchased any items totalling for
minimum 1000/- was given a free beer.
The strategy was to promote ‘at the event’ shopping.
The strategy is also aligned with the observation that the more time
you keep a prospective buyer at the place of sales, the more likely it
is they will make a purchase.
Therefore there are more chances that the person would make
another purchase or that a friend of the person would pick up an
item that they were contemplating.
In general, the Shopping and Beer combination is a perfect pull strategy to get
people to the event. From the point of view of the customer – there are no losses
on this one!

Promotions : boyfriend day care
‘Nothing should come in between of you and shopping. The Boyfriend Day Care Centre at
The Silent Auction Pop-Up. We will keep him entertained, while you shop!’
Weekends are meant for family and boyfriends. But shopping is equally important. Today
women are multi taskers. The Silent Auction Pop Up was all out to help women multi task by
providing entertainment for those boyfriends who cared enough to take their girlfriends
shopping. (Plus the free beer also helped the decision to join in on this event!)
All Fun and Games
11. Digital Marketing:Facebook
Promotions : boyfriend day care
Boyfriend Day Care saw high engagement
on social media owing to the unique
concept. More than the extra offerings
under this strategy, it seemed to be the

15. The After Party
From the total number of people who placed bids at the event, 30% were approached post
the event to purchase the item for the bid price.
The participants were happy with the response they got from the event. The theme of the
event promoted a high engaging - interactive atmosphere resulting in good sales at the event
itself as well.
Please Don’t Tell – The venue partner gained exposure in the process, and the ‘free beer’
promotion only added to its sales as people ordered more beer and bites once seated.
The event got a lot of exposure due to its unique concept. The organizing team is today
thinking of more innovative strategies to add to the concept of a flea market, where designers
and buyers can both benefit mutually. Where events are made more holistic in terms of
offering and thus gain a wider reach and introduce relating activities to newer markets – (Cross
selling)
