I have known a new brand "AVEDA"

Last week MIA have introduced me a very effective skin care products named "AVEDA". It sales in house of fraser. After use AVEDA cream and oil for three days I found it's really good and it's my first time want to know the brand more.

Aveda sells products ranging from skin care to hair care which are as organic as possible. Aveda also maintains a variety of partnerships with salons and spas that use their products. Many of these locations also offer treatments certified by Aveda.

Today Aveda is part of Estée Lauder Companies Inc., based in New York. Rechelbacher sold Aveda to Estée Lauder in 1997 for $300 million, although Aveda continues to be run as a separate entity.

As my main direction is brand promotion, so I want focus on how Aveda promote itself. Aveda's advertising strategy combines product-line advertising with corporate/ image advertising.

Chung is a muse to many fashion designers because of her distinctive personal style. She frequently appears on best dressed lists, is a regular cover girl for Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar and is often seen in the front row at fashion shows.

In 2009, the designer handbag company Mulberry created a much sought-after bag named after and inspired by Chung, called the "Alexa". The bag is very popular now. Below is the picture of Alexa bag from mulberry.

IT Girl (One)

An IT Girlis an attractive young woman who receives intense media coverage unrelated or disproportional to personal achievements. The reign of an "It girl" is usually temporary; some of the rising It girls will either become fully-fledged celebrities or their popularity will fade.


One of the representative of IT girls in this century is Paris Hilton. Paris is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, as well as to the real estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton. In early 2001, Hilton began to develop a reputation as a 19-year-old socialite, being identified as "New York's leading It Girl" .

Now, Paris is not only a model. She’s an actress, has published a book, has an album, designed jewelry, opened a chain of clubs called Club Paris, and she even sells perfumes.
Now the hottset IT girl is Olivia Palermo. Daughter of an interior decorator and an estate agent,  Olivia Palermo was born on 28th February 1986. She grew up on New York’s Upper East Side.


Labelled a ‘socialite,’ Olivia Palermo is at every party and every fashion show. Better known for her personality than for her artistic talent, Olivia Palermo is, however, an it-girl noted for her style and flair.

 "Ever chic, we often see her wearing Prabal Gurung, Matthew Williamson, but also creations from Topshop and even Zara. From pencil skirts and dresses, silk blouses, blazers to boyfriend jeans, Olivia Palermo’s look is undoubtedly modern. She often opts for the a pair of Yves Saint Laurent or Louboutin shoes to dress up her outfits, and is rarely without her Hermès Birkin!"

Prince William and Kate Middleton's upcoming wedding has been immortalized in commemorative coins, china and tea towels. Britain's Royal Mail is celebrating the April 29 nuptials with a new set of stamps that feature the couple's official engagement portraits.

From the engagement ring to the dress, Kate Middleton's Royal wedding is set to be the most stylish event of the century.

If there is a sufficiently strong brand, wants enter UK market, it's a great opportunity. If there is a UK's new brand, can do Kate's hair style or shoes or dress, even make the wedding cake, will be suddenly become famous.

No wonder how many brands would like to sponsor the royal wedding. Behind the wedding there is a business wars.
