Introduction

Warby Parker believes that everyone has the right to see. Millions of people around the world today don’t have access to proper vision care. To help address this problem, Warby Parker partners with renowned non-profits, such as RestoringVision.org, to deliver one pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair sold.

Brand Mission

Page 3: Brand management project warby parker

In doing so, we enable customers to share the gift of vision with someone who can’t see today and give them the opportunity to read, to work and to live a fuller life.

Warby Parker was created with the desire to help customers give to agood cause, express their unique style, andsavesome cash.

Company History

Warby Parker was launched in February, 2010 by four friends that all attended Wharton College in Philadelphia, PA. Neil Blumenthal , Andrew Hunt, Jeffrey Raider, and David Gilboa started Warby Parker as a online store to bypass the retailers and cut the cost of eyewear.

While most prescription eyeglass companies operate mostly offline, Warby Parker does things differently, of course.

History

Page 5: Brand management project warby parker

They sell most of their inventory online, and only have five physical locations. The five stores are located in Brooklyn, NY, San Francisco, CA, Oklahoma City, OK, Portland, OR, and the headquarter is located in New York, NY.

The company was born out of our collective personal traits: a penchant for outrageous outfits, an affinityfor vintage collectibles and a strong desire to make the world a better place.

Development

Brand Personality

What’s in a name??? Well for Warby Parker, there is A LOT in our name!!!

The name Warby Parker came from a master wordsmith and pop culture icon, Mr. Jack Kerouac. Jack Kerouac was an American novelist and poet.

Two of his earliest characters bore the names Zagg Parker and Warby Pepper (creative and unique, right?). Together these two characters created the name Warby Parker.

Page 7: Brand management project warby parker

This name says a lot about our company, because we are cool, almost as cool as Mr. Jack Kerouac’s stories. But Warby Parker is more than just a name, because we are more than just a really attractive company!!!

We are a company that cares about the lives, happiness, and careers of people around the world. That’s why we give thousands of glasses away free every year to people that really need to see!

Page 8: Brand management project warby parker

Branding

Warby Parker’s personality is clear. We know our customer’s and they know us. Warby Parker is all about helping people and seeing how together lives can be changed. We reach an audience that has a casual cool style and wants to change the world one pair of glasses at a time.

Page 10: Brand management project warby parker

Branding:Warby Parker’s brand is both trendy and classic. It has updated and refreshed classic vintage eyewear styles - spending several months crafting each frame to develop a line with a personality that is both contemporary and refined. Each frame is handcrafted using only the finest custom acetates and takes over three weeks to produce from initial cut through polishing. Warby Parker utilizes best-in-class polarized lenses to provide superior glare reduction and UV protection.

Logo Analysis:Warby Parker was founded with a rebellious spirit and a lofty objective: to create boutique-quality, classically crafted eyewear at a revolutionary price point. Thus, Warby Parker’s logo feeds into their clear brand personality and the inferred tagline of “We know our customer’s and they know us.” Its simplicity denotes the meticulousness and collaborative efforts of the founders “Warby Parker” – an alternative concept to the overpriced and bland eyewear available today.

Advertising Materials:Warby Parker is able to provide higher-quality, better looking prescription eyewear for under $100 by circumventing traditional channels and engaging their customers directly through their website. Moreover, they have an updated blog and Facebook page as a way of reaching target audience in the most cost-effective manner in order to advance their new concept of eyewear.

They meticulously crafted their first collection of 27 limited run styles for both men and women, plus one monocle, using only the finest custom acetates and materials.

The Warby Parker aesthetic is vintage-inspired, with a fashion forward twist - and every pair is custom fit with anti-reflective, polycarbonate prescription lenses.

Transparent business model, Corporate social responsibility, Focused product mix and well managed customer relations constitute the success mantra of Warby Parker.

The company also efficiently markets its products through print advertising and online promotions. The Brand is featured in The New York times, Vogue, GQ & Daily Candy. They have an active Blog Archive called Zagg Pepper which helps consumers to stay up to date with their activities and also responds to questions or doubts that people may have about the brand.

Promotion

Page 26: Brand management project warby parker

They send out press releases and conduct outdoor events for launches which help to promote the product and reach out to their target consumers. They also have an active social media marketing team (Facebook, Linkedin & Twitter). Needless to say, this team is very creative as they not only promote their product on social networking sites but for every ten likes on their Facebook page they donate a pair of glasses to a person in need through vision spring.

The company continues to grow as thousands of influential brand ambassadors (their customers) do their marketing for them. The customer experiences and reviews is the main marketing tool which the company utilizes to reach out to potential consumers

low brand awareness: the visibility and reach of the brand is much lesser than its competitors

Weaknesses

Page 30: Brand management project warby parker

Opportunities

Page 31: Brand management project warby parker

This also includes already established brands that do not currently sell glasses, but could become a threat. For example, TOMS Shoes, which currently offers sunglasses, but not prescription eyeglasses.

-already known companies/saturation-There is a lot of already existing competition from other eyeglass companies online and offline.

Threats

Segmentation of Target Market

Secondary

The secondary target market will be 30 to 35 year old females and males or recent graduates seeking or occupying entry-level job positions. The focus on a younger age group is strategically meant to develop and sustain brand loyalty with them.

Primary

The primary target market segment will be 18 to 25 year old males and females or college/university students who are in need of affordable glasses. This target group are not only inclined to online shopping but readily express the desire to give to a good cause, express their unique style, and save some cash at all cost.

Page 33: Brand management project warby parker

Target Market DemographicsBased on the focus group findings, we believe that we

have a good knowledge of our target audience as follows:

The primary target audience is composed of males and females or college/university students between the ages of 18 and 25. They are still pursuing their education and are part of middle class of the St. Louis, Missouri area. These target audience are still dependent on their families for financial support and incentives.

The secondary target audience consists of males and females between the ages of 30 and 35. They are working on receiving a higher education or have just recently graduated and/or seeking/occupying entry-level job positions.

Page 34: Brand management project warby parker

Target Market Psychographics

Our primary target audience consists of 18 to 25 years old males and females looking for a reason to be involved with a cause or still searching to find a cause to support. They are very outgoing, active, trendy, and ambitious with an affinity for vintage collectibles and a strong desire to make the world a better place.

The secondary target audience consists of males and females between the ages of 30 and 35. They may be starting up or already have small-sized families hence likely to have disposable income. They are also socially responsible and care about the lives, happiness, and careers of family members and people around St. Louis metropolitan area and the world at large.

Page 35: Brand management project warby parker

Warby Parker has to fight competitors on multiple fronts. With most of Warby Parker's business stemming from the internet, most of the brand's major competition comes from physical store fronts such as Doctors Valu Visual and Wal-Mart Vision Center. These stores offer affordable prices with hands on service, eye exams at the store, and convenient locations inside shopping centers and retail stores

Warby Parker also has several other competitors like the Zenni Optical and Coastal Contacts, which are online eye wear retailers. Like Warby Parker, these online stores also offer glasses at competitive prices and an online virtual “try on”. They also offer wide a variety of brands, as they do not make their own glasses.

However, neither of these online stores offers a free “try at home” service. Also none of these competitors listed above offer a socially responsible outcome with their sales

Consumer Analysis

General Customer Questions

Primary research is a key step in understanding a market and its customers. Our group used two different techniques to collect and measure the data. First, we conducted a focus group to get in-depth information on consumer’s questions, thoughts and concerns when purchasing eyewear. We also surveyed 56 people who wear eyeglasses, mostly people between the ages of 18-40. This gave us opinions from people of many different age groups to help determine the target market for our product.

Page 38: Brand management project warby parker

Consumer Purchasing Questions

We began our survey by asking about general eyewear purchase decisions: where do you purchase eyeglasses, how often do you purchase eyeglasses, from where do you purchase eyeglasses, etc.

These questions told us the general purchase habits of eyeglass customers, our competitors and also the demand for our product. Thirty-four percent of respondents spend $100-200 dollars on prescription eyeglasses. This tells us that our eyeglasses are a good price for consumers, because we charge less than what half of the respondents are already paying for eyeglasses. This is can be a potential benefit that can be advertised in the future.

Page 39: Brand management project warby parker

General Customer Behavior

When asked if the consumers had a back-up pair of glasses 29 respondents (52%) said they do have a back-up pair of glasses. This is important information due to the large number of customers who purchase eyeglasses using their insurance. This means that Warby Parker may not only reach those who do not have insurance, but also those people with insurance who would like a back-up pair of glasses. This gives Warby Parker a larger market.

Do you own a back-up pair of glasses?

No- 27 48% Yes-29 52%

Page 40: Brand management project warby parker

Eyeglass Features

When asked about the importance of different features of eyeglasses the responses were very helpful. On a 5 point scale 1 not important and 5 very important the respondents were asked to rate the following factors: style, price, comfort, brand, weight and durability. The results showed that price and style were very important to most consumers. Brand was ranked not important by roughly 71% of the respondents. This is very good news for Warby Parker, a brand that is not a well known name currently in the eyeglass market.

Please rate the below factors based on their importance when purchasing prescription eyeglasses. - Style

Please rate the below factors based on their importance when purchasing prescription eyeglasses. - Price

Page 41: Brand management project warby parker

Online Behavior

The survey showed that there is still a high percentage of people in the market who do not make purchases online. Out of the 56 people surveyed 26 people or 46% had never made a purchase online. This was interesting information that revealed a weakness, as well as an opportunity for Warby Parker. Our survey also revealed that 57% of the consumers surveyed were not very willing to purchase eyeglasses online. This is also an opportunity for Warby Parker to become the trusted company, among other online eyewear companies.

We aim to increase the awareness about the brand Warby Parker amongst consumers within a span of one year. A study would be conducted on our competitors’ advertising patterns, and the needs of the consumers would be analyzed. Based on these parameters, an effective advertising and marketing campaign would be developed.

We also aim to motivate action amongst the consumers to purchase the product by shaping their attitudes and by creating awareness about the social responsibility aspect of the brand.

A great way to create a big buzz around our brand is to sponsor a free concert. And what better way to get people to attend than to hold the concert under one of the world’s most famous landmarks, the St. Louis Arch. WP will sponsor a totally free concert featuring young, up and coming groups The Dean’s List, and 2AM Club at the public hard top area under the St. Louis arch. This will allow us to bring awareness to our brand and we can have the band wear our glasses during the performance. Both of the Bands will cost $3,000 for the performance. Normal cost for renting space in a park is from $50-$100 , but with the Arch belonging to a national park, the price will be higher. The stage, lighting, and sound equipment can be rented in a bundle fro $600, bring our total to apx. $10,000.

Flash Mobs at College campuses in and near St. Louis

These students will perform the dance during one major event on campus and these will all take place in the month of May. The month of May usually has good weather and there are many events in this month on college campuses.

The students in the flash mob will be told to wear attire similar to the style of the Warby Parker brand. If the students wear glasses they will be given one pair of glasses with their prescription for free to wear in the mob. If they do not wear prescription glasses then the students will be given sunglasses made by Warby Parker to wear in the mob.

Online Event — “Wear Your Style!” $10,500

We would like to hold an online event for everyone who is interested in our brand to design their own pair of eye glasses. In this way, we will not only promote our brand, but also gain new designs from our customers and know better of their preferences.

There will be three parts in this event. First, we will set up a webpage where everyone can upload their own design images. In the second part, everyone can vote for the designs. The top three highest voted designs will be produced and given to their designers. After that, the three winners will get a round trip tickets to a foreign country to give out glasses to the people in need by their own. We would also hold a press meet to report the whole event.

Page 74: Brand management project warby parker

Our advertisement plan reaches a wide range of media and outlets, but we feel that our brand will stand out the most if we concentrate most of the budget on ambient and guerilla advertising. $29,880.00 of our budget is devoted to guerilla and ambient advertisements. This includes many interactive projects such as the barricade advertisement,Interesting ads in malls, metro buses and the mirror/LCD advertisements.

Evaluation

Page 75: Brand management project warby parker

We are also spending $33,420.00 on events and feel they should be very popular events that will get a lot of publicity. Our four events include a free concert under the Arch (with WP glass projections on the Arch), an online design event, and Flash Mobs.

We also have a fair amount of investment in traditional advertising. For traditional advertising we decided to target St. Louis excusive media such as St. Louis Magazine and STLToday.com. $ 13,900.00 of our budget will go to traditional advertisement.

Page 76: Brand management project warby parker

Contingency Plan

With a grand budget of $77,200.00 we are over our $50,000.00 target budget, so we are not expecting any left over money.

However, if we do find ourselves with any leftover funds, we would utilize it towards improving our events and advertisements.

This may pay for things such as extra food and refreshments for our bands performing at our concerts or flash mobs.
