craze for affordable designer label: why the hype when target cannot meet the product demand

 If you were one of the many people who were anticipating for the launch of the Jason Wu line for Target this past Sunday, February 5, 2012, you were probably wondering what time this designer discount deal was going to be available online. Your guess was as good as mine. Target did not release a time. When it was 12:30 AM I knew the launch time was not meant to be at midnight, and if it was sometime during the very early morning the residents in the pacific coast would be the lucky ones because some would still be awake. 

I happen to wake up in the middle of the night, and notice few Jason Wu products were posted on the Target.com website. it was difficult navigating and finding the products you want because at one time you will only see one link, then when you try to go back to the full product page that page would disappear. As someone who wanted to get few items for myself (15-25 minutes to my browsing on the Target.com) one item disappeared from my cart. Then few seconds later two more items just disappeared. Some would-be shoppers reported that the same thing happened to them. This likely means that item in the Target online shopping cart is not reserved, and that people could actually take an item from you if they check out before you. For noticing what was happening I acted quickly; immediately check out the items I had; which is the reason I was able to obtain few Jason Wu products.

If you want to know if Target is restocking this line; well as a Target representative told me they do not know; and to keep checking each week. I could tell you that only one accessory item was restocked online once this week, or at least what I have seen when I'm awake and online. In case you want to check your local Target store sometimes, I should say often times when the website says an item is available at a specific store it actually is not. I went to a target store after Target.com listed one store as having the item. I went there and none could be found. No accessories at all. About 15 minutes later two females arrived, and thought and said the same thing (Target.com said item available at the store, but once you go there it is not available there). As they walked away from the one very small Jason Wu rack one said, “well to the next Target store” it is. Trust me, likely the other store did not have it either. Look at the ratings of the Jason Wu products, and some have done the same thing as I did (searched on Target.com website where item is available; went to the stores where target.com said it was available; arrived at the store and time wasted. Item(s) were not at the store.

Last year's Missoni for Target was a hit that quickly sold out. The 2012 Jason Wu line for Target is an adorable design, but the production quality (this is another story to blog about) for many of the Jason Wu line are not superb. They are however cute. The choice of color and design is what makes this line attractive. A suggestion to Target: When hyping a product launch, particularly for a runway designer, make sure you have enough inventory to meet the demand of your targeted consumers. In the past week since the launch six days ago, unfortunately, you have not.

an introduction

hi all! little tidbit about myself. since returning to school, i have been busy for the past 2 years and a half. finally, on december 31, 2011 my final course has been completed for the MBA program. now i'm just waiting for the diploma to arrive. because grad school is done i'm attempting to reach new goals i have planned. first need to declutter my home that i moved into on december 2010 (this may be harder because i'm still shopping); update items in the home; then continue working on a painting that i started 2 years ago; and to build the retail website that i hope to launch sometime this year. i have been into fashion, and it became more prominent when i studied abroad eleven years ago. wow, time flew! getting exposed to different cultures and styles introduced me to different selection of products that my closet are full of garments from all my travels. several of them with tags in brand new condition. the plus side to these are they have not been worn, so they can be categorized under "new" items. i will be sharing my progress on my new projects and goals. welcome to my online journal :)
