MARKETING STRATEGY• ACME’s strategy for popularising the Provogue brand
included high profile ground events and retailing through selective stores which covered national chain stores like Shoppers’ Stop, multi brand outlets and company exclusive studios
• The lack of a product range was made up by an aggressive advertising campaign strategy which was backed by series of fashion shows across the country
• The uniqueness of the fashion shows were that only women were invited, which generated curiosity and excitement and the customer was ready to accept the madness.
• Provogue first found space in Multi-brand outlets (MBOs) and progressed to be present in 120 MBOs by the end of 1999 and there on a distribution network was established across 30 A and B class cities
• Before making a foray into a region, Provogue organised fashion shows to generate interest levels and then the product was rolled out for the public

PROMOTION…. During the year, we have invested intelligently to align
the brand with some of the best events associated with Indian youth including the sponsorship of several of the year's most successful Bollywood movie releases.
Provogue also continues a strong print advertising campaign in the broadsheet press, fashion, business and lifestyle publications and magazines. A fresh approach to advertising was initiated recently by advertising in the in-flight magazines of Jet Airways & Indian Airlines.
Cricket is almost a religion in India. And what better way to relate to our customers than to connect with this game. Provogue sponsored outdoor advertising for the India-Sri Lanka Test
Series which was held across the country, which not only ensured total coverage of the stadium audience but also garnered maximum television coverage at no extra cost.
