suit at a Zegna retailer, you are offered free alterations to all purchases. You
are guaranteed reliability because Zegna hires only the finest tailors from
around the world to handle their clothing. After your suit is ready for pick
up, you will be able to see the tangible evidence that it has been dealt with
love and passion as it underwent surgery. The fit is perfect. It will always be
perfect. And you can see that the service was worth the wait.

Ch. 11- Developing and Managing Products
Ermenegildo Zegna constantly analyzes the market place to
try to figure out new ways of improving their production and creating new
products. Although menswear, suits, and fabrics have been around for centuries,
there is always going to be a new approach to it that will reinvent what
clothing is. Zegna creates ways of making their high fashion clothing available
to all types of men by introducing product modifications that will grab the
attention of those who have yet to seek interest in the brand. Zegnas products
are innovative, as most of the products you will see are new to the market in
some unique way.

Ermenegildo Zegna is often worn by successful actors and
famous personalities alike. Zegna suits can be seen on the red carpet, at new
movie promotions, or on a busy street in NYC. All of this draws publicity to
the brand. Many people look up to actors as inspiration and when you read in
the newspaper or in magazines that your favorite actor wore a top of the line
Zegna suit, you begin to want one yourself. You become intrigued with the brand and want to know more
about them. You may ask around to see if anyone you know has owned one and if
they have, they will tell you how excellent their purchase was. Zegna grows
their company primarily through earned media, although they also use paid media
to increase their consumer base. Campaign ads can be seen in popular magazines.
They use the pull strategy to stimulate consumer demand by create videos and
ads that can be viewed on their social media pages or their website, instead of
purchasing air time.

Ch. 10 - Product Concepts
Ermenegildo Zegna is known in the fashion world as a company
that creates exceptional clothing for the modern gentlemen. But, what many
people don’t know is that they started with a simple product, wool. Zegna began
selling wool to other companies and for about 60 years they created a
trustworthy and reliable product. Their fabric was a business product. At
first, they only distributed fabrics to clothing brands but decided to start producing
suits themselves around the 70’s. They created a consumer product. Zegna knew
consumers admired their craftsmanship so why not take it a step further and
create our own specialty product. Since then, they have created an even bigger
name for themselves and are now looked up to by other clothing brands.

Ch. 16 - Advertising, Public Relations and Sale
Since Ermenegildo Zegna is a luxury menswear company, they
typically do not advertise the way regular everyday companies would. Clothing
companies use collections to advertise what they will be selling for the
upcoming season. Often times, Zegna would create a short clip that markets the
product they are selling and the mood of the collection. This is their
advertising campaign. They provide an interesting look to the clothing that
they are promoting to try and influence consumers to purchase them. They give
advertising appeal to their clothing by sometimes going into detail and
explaining what they have changed for the collection and why. They may explain
why a new technique for treating wool is far more suprior than other companies
or how they have found the perfect fit for a dress shirt. Zegna posts these
advertising campaigns on their website, blogs, and social media pages such as
instagram and twitter. This is an example of a recent campaign advertising Z
Zegna’s spring/summer 2015 collection. They decided to create a unique selling
proposition by stepping into a futuristic setting and mixing sneakers with
suits, something that isn’t seen too often but is very unique and appealing to
a younger generation.
