It's like they choosed to go without a marketting budget, but decided to go anyway with a strong brand image... just without thinking aboot how to build one and certainly not paying for any (at least pretending)... but going with whatever remaining paint scheme was possible with some colors leftover from another paint job and sticking with it... It's some sort of corporation sized emperor new clothes...
Remind me the Toyota Mark X launch... branded as a new exciting sport car yadda yadda yadda... Ending up with the usual Silver Toyoturd sedan nearly impossible to differentiate in the parking lot like an early 90' Audi before they went full retard...
Russell wrote:Of all the cheap clothes I have bought, Uniqlo's stand out because they fit so badly. They have sewn this crap together along straight lines without any consideration for body shapes. The only appeal that Uniqlo has is that they put similarly colored clothes together. That looks nice in the shop, but once home, you are left with some piece of cloth that fits like a sack. I have long ago abandoned their stores.
You want to make a popular, successful clothing store? Open one and separate your product by size e.g. all the 34-30 jeans are here, all the 34-32 jeans are here, all the L size pullover sweaters are here, all the LL cardigans are here, etc. Pick a color or design from the size area that fits you.
Uniqlo will be just another brand in the dustbin 10 years from now. All companies like them go through the same phases of growth, debt, arrogance and bankruptcy.

Coligny wrote:except my bet is that uniqlo's success might be more a mix between dirt cheap prices and good profit margin... They make their name like wallmart by being the cheapest in town while staying in the black...
They can go on writing "fuck you" on all their plastic bags, not gunna lose them a customer...
rising chinese wages are sounding an early warning. So they still have Vietnam, Thailand or Malaysia for cheap slave labour... then after... greece portugal... Spain... and all the new 3rd world countries

Instead, they all torture you by making you wade through pile after pile of stuff here, then there, then waaay the hell over there, only to find that they don't have it in your size.

Haha:p I like how you outed yourself as Dutch;)
Also you mention that the Uniqlothes don't fit our frames. I always have that problem. I'm not fat, but whenever I pick some clothing that looks nice and is in the LL size, and try it on I think this is great! Everything is great, the size color or design until I push my arms through the sleeves and it turns out the sleeves are made for midgets!!:mad: WTF?!
