uniqlo!

[arcueid]

that's why the marketing company behind uniqlo has a porsche parked in their carpark

 

[yeoyeo]

no..but i just can't figure out the hype surrounding it

same here. the clothes design and quality (duno about the value) doesnt justify the hype or crowd surrounding it..

Said it abt a year back in another Uniqlo thread.

Singaporeans will totally ruin Uniqlo's excellent brand image even though they're just a casual-wear brand.

It goes smth like this:

1. Kiasu aunties/uncles Q up for NOTHING. And curious ppl who've never even heard of Uniqlo, also Qing just to join in the fun. Creating a HUGE crowd.

2. Then, ppl on the sidelines who know nuts abt Uniqlo watching like in this thread[mostly newfags to F&G forums], will think "whoa hype, lousy lah". Then spread the msg that Uniqlo sucks cos of the hype. And it goes a full cycle, back to the very idiots who Q'd in the first place.

Viral marketing yes, but there's one thing foreign marketing personnel can never understand about Singapore- the very people in this country love to degrade sh1t. But Q up for the 1st few mths.

so this is a gd idea to open up here in SG for only 3 mths, get a 3-mth lease, go on an aggressive marketing campaign...after the hype dies[usually 3mths], close down, and move to another country. Maximise profits, sucker-punch Sillyporeans and laugh ur way to the bank.

Maybe I shd suggest this to Fast Retailing Co., get them out of here, quick.

I really wish they hadn't done so much aggressive marketing. Then at least only the real Uniqlo lovers/supporters/fans would be there buying and not those........ sigh. Well I guess thats business right, make as much money as possible. Who cares about loyal supporters.

2nd this. typical singaporeans, queue up just ppl everyone do so. Its just seriously WTF. those who knws nuts about this brand, will either queue up too, or go round saying "oh, these are all hype and ****". why nt just support the brand tt u like? be it the brand's name's cool, or the concept is sth like muji that has a jap concept or just because the casual wear is too gd to hoot, just buy wad u think is gd/suits u.

billionaire liao, care abt wat? oh yeah, care whether the private jet order can be hastened, can't wait to sit in the new Gulfstream.

Uniqlo is still definately better than Giodarno/Baleno etc. Quality to Price ratio for most of their items are way higher than the others.

 

[arcueid]

i wonder if there's still a queue today.



i don't think singaporeans will kill that brand name. After this hype is over, it will all depends on how they market their products. Once the hype dies down, their quality of their products will speak for themselves.

Even americans queue up when topshop opened in NYC recently. And the queue is so much longer. I think it's perfectly fine for that to happen in Singapore.

(btw the marketing coy behind their ads is local)

wow, you guys are elitist. If the japanese aunties I saw back in tokyo can shop for it, I don't see why aunties or uncles here can.

Stop trying big up a brand that's no better than Giordano. It's silly and pathetic.

There are other brands to be elitist about.

Uniqlo is not one of them.

cheesepie, I already told you whie I buy riaos. knn still dun bliv me.

just copped the raw selvedge black MIJ for 99.90 not bad of a deal i would say. Already wearing them, gonna see how these fade in about a month or so. Their inseam length is slightly longer than the s-001 and t-000. Which is about 34 inches compared to the none selvedge which is only about 32 inches. My opinion, size down 1 or stay true to size depending on ur preferences but do not size up cuz its only been half a day for me and the knee bulges are already showing up. The denim quality is actually at par with some of the LVC models. Definetly a good buy!
