New Product Positioning

Inaccessible luxury
Classic Modern
-The positioning that the new product line want to occupy trough the perception from the target market is:
-The unique plate that belongs to those that gives value to classical and beauty products.
-To change the usage rate from the middles users to strong and heavy users.
Name Justification We will have 7 differents product lines.
All of the product lines names are French to remind the qualities from the house of Chanel.
The names will be written in cursive on the back of the plates to add a personal element.
The names were chosen to match the uniqueness of the design.
Each plate has a strong element designed that represents the purpose of its name.
Target Market
Females, middle age 35-49 years old, married, medium users.
The customer profile are for those who identify themselves with the Chanel brand, care about house products, are interested in decoration, have a strong personality, and like to buy luxury products.
They are also elegant, fashionable, but not necessarily follow all trends.
Distribution Strategy The plates collection will be sold only in Chanel stores
The strategy is to differentiate this product line from our competitors.
The purpose is also to attract more consumers to the store to expose them to other Chanel products.
The new product will not be very accessible in terms of distribution.
This will help keep the uniqueness of it and not to devaluate the brand image.
