Everyone has a different interpretation of the topic, and commonly people relate it to their
memories, childhood and love. However, as a group we wanted to push the boundaries and asked
ourselves “how it stinks to be an adult” “the specific smells of growing up,” and focused more on
the theme: “what are the moments in life we felt like grown ups?” With these bizarre questions in Greasy Make-ups Menstruation

media to maintain and release scents. Further more, the idea of scratch and sniff from a card from

How does Haagen-daz and Cold Stone persuade their consumers?
How does branding promote the motivation and the persuation?
DISCOVER
Through on site observation, I have identified specific difference between Haagen-Dazs and Cold
Stone including a different group of target audience, and how the environment is portrayed differ-
ently to attract specific customers.
The Haagen-Dazs store located by the water attract more tourists and shoppers in the area,
therefore a small store front that allows a high turn over of traffic is suitable, on the other hand,
the Cold Stone store offers a bigger space for mothers with baby trailers and group of friends to
sit and stay.
DEVELOP
Detailed Customer profiles are developed based on the observation; also in store customers are
further analyzed and develop into persona profiles.
DELIVER
The positive and negatives of the design of the store, and the brand images are analyzed for both
merchandiser, and given suggestions and recommendations accordingly.
