伊万卡特朗普品牌的定位误区
时间:2017-04-21 06:04来源:网络整理 作者:小编 点击: 52 次
在美国，几乎没人对佩戴伊万卡特朗普(Ivanka Trump)“最喜爱的手镯”表现出很大兴趣，虽然它首次公开亮相时就引发热议，至少，在知道了伊万卡去年11月黄金时段电视节目上佩戴的这款钻石手镯要价10,800美元后，人们失去了热情。
在美国，几乎没人对佩戴伊万卡特朗普(Ivanka Trump)“最喜爱的手镯”表现出很大兴趣，虽然它首次公开亮相时就引发热议，至少，在知道了伊万卡去年11月黄金时段电视节目上佩戴的这款钻石手镯要价10,800美元后，人们失去了热情。伊万卡是现任美国总统的第二个孩子及其非官方政务助理。不久前，其同名品牌的新任总裁阿比盖尔克兰姆（Abigail Klem，她自今年1月起开始担任该职务）宣布，以这款手镯为主打产品的梦幻高端珠宝系列今后将融入其主流产品线，并面向更广大的消费群体。换句话说，伊万卡特朗普品牌开始放低身段走低价路线。
伊万卡特朗普品牌拥有很多粉丝。总统顾问凯莉安妮康韦(Kellyanne Conway)就对她老板女儿的“美好”品牌表现出了极大热情，以至于被控为了鼓励民众“去购买伊凡卡的产品”而违反联邦道德法规。但目前看来，没有几个人愿意拿出足够购买一辆小汽车的钱来模仿伊凡卡的造型。
或许可以将这一状况解读为该品牌遇到的又一个困难，自从唐纳德特朗普(Donald Trump)就任总统执掌权力以来，该品牌就麻烦不断。
今年1月，该品牌被美国百货公司诺思通(Nordstrom)撤货下架。此后该品牌又遭百货公司内曼马库斯 (Neiman Marcus)抛弃，后者解释称，将该品牌从其电商网站下架是因为销售数字惨淡。
一方面消费者兴趣下降，一方面又有社交媒体运动“抢走她的钱包(#grabherwallet)”鼓励消费者抵制销售伊万卡特朗普相关产品的百货商店，该品牌似乎沾上了挥之不去的有毒气息。最近这种有毒氛围进一步加剧，因加州零售商Modern Appealing Clothing向法院提起诉讼，指控伊万卡特朗普品牌近几个月来的大力宣传，使得其在加州相对于其他零售业对手拥有了不公平的竞争优势。这家家族所有制企业希望法庭颁布永久性禁令，禁止伊万卡特朗普品牌产品在加州销售。
那么，伊万卡特朗普品牌是否面临倒闭呢？这种可能性并不大，生活在大城市、喝着拿铁的自由主义小清新们又想错了。伊万卡经济学并非如此简单。确实，东海岸的大城市精英们已经在大袋大袋地抛弃该品牌的棉质条纹衬衫裙、霍普韦尔迷你链条斜挎包(Hopewell Mini Chain Crossbody bag)以及卡丽塔系带坡跟凉鞋(Karita Lace-Up Block-Heel Sandal)。但在其他地区，该品牌形势大好。
根据《好莱坞报道》(The Hollywood Reporter)，电商平台Lyst表示伊万卡特朗普品牌的销售额在2月初的一天增幅高达219%，并且在过去六个月中一直保持迅猛增长势头。该品牌在ThredUP等二手衣物寄售网站上的存货数量迅速膨胀，而德克萨斯州休斯敦等保守城市地区对伊万卡特朗普品牌产品的需求远远超过了沿海地区自由派城市居民抛弃该品牌的速度。正如唐纳德特朗普的支持率在城市与农村、沿海与中部地区存在巨大地域差异一样，对他女儿服饰产品的热情也存在地区差异也不足为奇。
或许更有趣的是该品牌定价策略的发展变化。伊万卡特朗普品牌的很多产品对于那些有兴趣购买它们的人群来说实在过于昂贵。
这归根到底是一个关于品牌愿景的问题。时尚、配饰、特别是珠宝行业，和汽车以及住房领域一样，是建立在一个基础之上的，即它们具备各种能够丰富生活的特质。某个特定品牌的服装能使你看起来更加强势时髦，也更加干练。一款配饰将使你在人群中高人一筹。按照零售文化的说法，购买一个品牌的产品，将使我们进入一个和自己价值观以及经济实力相似、观点相像的人组成的小世界。

1.Last week, it was announced by the brand’s new president Abigail Klem (who stepped into the role in January) that the aspirational, fine-jewellery collection of which this bracelet was a prized example will henceforward be folded into the main line and made more accessible.
上周，该品牌一月份刚就职的新任主席——艾碧加尔·克伦表示，这款高端精致的珠宝手镯即将列入主推产品系列，面向更大的市场。这款手镯是这些精美珠宝首饰中最具价值的典范。
上周,一月份正式上任的品牌新总裁AbigailKlem宣布:以此款手镯为经典产品的高端魅惑系列珠宝将融入主流产品线,更显亲民。
Fine-jewelry高端珠宝,和fashion jewelry时尚珠宝形成对比，fine jewelry未必是能够有现货的，如果有需求甚至需要提前预定，在宝石材质上一般也都是以五大贵宝石为主，对于追求品质的客户，甚至可以提出对宝石级别的要求，这样也基本等同于高级定制的范畴了。而fashion jewelry一般是指款式比较时尚的珠宝，在宝石材质上也会采用五大贵宝石，但也有半宝石作为主石，一般都是批量的成品生产，有库存的现货，基本不会接受客户的特定要求。类似的表达还有Fine art, Fine dining,感兴趣的童鞋可以自行扩展下下~~
建议内化的常见词组: Step into the role:进入角色
be made accessible: easy to obtain or use
eg. The need for a health service that is accessible to all
建立全民共享的医疗服务体系的需求。
Main line是和fine jewelry collection形成对比，指针对大多数人群的主流产品线。
2.It’s tempting to read this as yet another woe in the catalogue of ills that have befallen the brand since President Donald Trump’s ascension to power.
这个或许可以解读为自特朗普上任以来，该品牌遇到的又一个麻烦。
人们很容易将此理解成特朗普上任总统之后，该品牌所遭受的又一重创。
It’s tempting to也是第二次出现了哦~~~，原意是：….有诱惑力，衍生为倾向于…
Another woe in the catalogue of ills:很有意思的比喻，值得好好体会，但无需内化，作为被动储备即可。Ills不幸，疾病，catalogue of ills:一系列的不幸，都能成册了~~
Befallen:降临，发生（通常指的是不幸或负面之事）
3.In particular, the brand’s inventory is skyrocketing on second-hand resale sites such as ThredUP, where demand for IvankaTrump-branded products in conservative cities such as Houston in Texas is massively outstripping the rate at which more liberal-minded coastal-dwelling urbanites are purging themselves of them.
特别是当沿海城市思想开放的市民正在抵制伊万卡·特朗普同名品牌的时候，像德州休斯顿这样的保守城市正在极力追捧该品牌，让伊万卡·特朗普在ThredUP这样的二手市场销售网站的营业额直线上升。
尤其是：该品牌在ThredUP这样的二手买卖网站上的库存激增，因为德克萨斯州休斯顿这样的保守地区对该品牌产品需求旺盛，增速远超东西岸更为自由开明都市人群摒弃该品牌的速度。
从句套从句，需要多读几遍才能吃透, demand in conservative cities is massively outstripping the rate(后面都是对此rate的解释，即东西岸城市人群摒弃该品牌的速度。)
建议内化：inventory skyrocketing/surging
Outstrip/surpass the rate
Purge of: clean out清洗，清除，也是一个比喻，并不常见，建议作为被动储备。
4.The business of fashion, accessories and especially jewellery is built on the basis, like those of cars and houses, that they are imbued with various life-enhancing qualities.
时尚、配饰、尤其是珠宝都是建立在该基础上去营业的。就像他们的车和房一样，他们正在想尽各种方法来全面提升自己的生活品质。
时尚饰品行业，尤其是珠宝业都是基于一种理念之上，即商品本身渗透着各种提升生活品质的元素，这一点也同样适用于汽车及房屋。

5.By buying into a brand, so the retail culture has it, we buy into a society of similarly-minded sophisticates who share our values and wallet size.
零售业的特色文化既是：购买某种品牌就意味着获得了某个圈层的入场券，那里有和你品味一致，所见略同，财力均等的通达之人。
1.verb 读了这么多年英语，原来我不懂share！！！！！！！！(┬＿┬)

6.Most brands recognize that their survival depends on partnering with high-street retailers in collaborations that will bounce them into a broader market.
很多品牌都意识到了，只有和商业街的零售户合作，自己的品牌才能生存下去，并且有可能进入到更宽阔的市场。
大多数的品牌都意识到其生存取决于和高街零售商展开合作，因为这样才能进入更为广阔的市场。
High-street retailers: The term "High Street" is used to describe stores found on
a typical high street to differentiate（区分，区别v different） them from more specialised, exclusive and expensive outlets (often independent stores) — for example, "High
Street banks" (instead of the less-common private or investment banks) or "High Street shops" (instead of boutiques).高街，指英国（在美国被称为Main Street）城市的主要商业街，商店品牌都比较大众化，都是批量生产的产品。High Street shops高街店和boutique精品店是一组对比,前者基本都是连锁店，而后者则更高端，甚至提供私人定制。

二、这是一篇关于时尚品牌Ivanka Trump发展前景的文章，文章分析了该品牌面临的问题以及也暗示了其未来发展趋势的定位方向。文章读到一个词wrap-dress——裹身裙的意思!查了好久，还是最后在时尚网站找到这个词的相关解释(┬＿┬)
既然这是一篇与时尚相关的文章，那就附上一个时装英语文化术语的链接。多看多记，毕竟自己是英专生(┬＿┬)
