- Michelle Klein, Vice President, Marketing Roche Bobois, North America
Case StudyAn advertising campaign turned Roche Bobois into arecession-proof company
In 2009, retail industry was hitting a wall in a recessive economy. French luxury furniture company Roche Bobois pumped money into advertising with traditional English media outlets. The market seemed saturated and didn’t respond
Store traffic quickly increased with Chinese customers, many of whom never heard about Roche Bobois before. A Chinese customer who first heard about Roche Bobois from the ads walked in and bought $28,000 furniture.
Roche Bobois began targeting the Chinese consumer market and launched its first Chinese ads in Epoch Times in New York in November 2009.
Roche Bobois did 4 campaign in 2010. All achieved spectacular results. In the spring campaign, more than half of the sales revenue came from the Chinese customers.
