在J.Crew歷史上的大部分時間里,實體目錄一直是該零售商品牌的標志性組成部分。然而,七年前,該公司停止了實體目錄的發行,結束了近30年的發行歷史。本月晚些時候,該目錄將重新回歸。
J.Crew于2020年申請破產,目前正處于復蘇階段,該公司正寄希望于懷舊情緒的高漲來幫助其保持增長,這也促使該公司決定重新推出實體目錄(其中包含了眾多廣受歡迎的時尚大片,這些作品曾在過去幫助確立了時尚潮流)。
雖然實體目錄自2017年以來就沒再出版過,但對于那些還記得它的人來說,印刷版目錄似乎非常熟悉。就像過去的目錄一樣,它將以令人向往的方式呈現,展示的不僅僅是服裝,還有模特們在異國他鄉的迷人風采。女演員黛米·摩爾(Demi Moore)將登上2024年秋季版的封面。與之前的目錄一樣,J.Crew的新目錄將不僅僅包含圖片。文章和對摩爾的采訪也是新產品的一部分。
當然,也會有一些現代化的更新,比如購物者通過掃描二維碼可以登錄公司的應用程序。
公司計劃今后每年只出版三本目錄,而不是像以前那樣每年出版13本。與以往一樣,目錄將免費提供,顧客可以在實體店領取或選擇郵寄到郵箱。
在數字時代選擇實體目錄似乎是一種奇怪的做法,但我們正處在一個懷舊的時代,黑膠唱片甚至盒式磁帶再次成為熱門。因此,J.Crew在賭,通過推出一款人們可以拿在手里并愛不釋手的目錄,可以在購物者和顧客之間建立一種紐帶。(財富中文網)

For most of its history, J.Crew’s catalog has been an iconic part of the retailer’s brand. Seven years ago, however, the company discontinued the physical book, ending nearly 30 years of history. Later this month, the catalog will make its return.
J.Crew, which filed for bankruptcy in 2020, is on an upswing again and it’s banking on the surge in nostalgia to help it keep growing, which led to the company’s decision to bring back the catalog full of widespread fashion shoots that helped establish trends in years gone by.
While it hasn’t been published since 2017, the print catalog will seem very familiar to those who remember it. Like catalogs past, it will be aspirational in its presentation, showing more than just clothes, but models in exotic and glamorous locales. Actress Demi Moore is on the cover of the fall 2024 edition, and, as with its predecessor, the new J.Crew catalog will contain more than just images. Articles and an interview with Moore are part of the revived product.
There will, of course, be some modern updates, as well, such as QR codes that send shoppers to the company’s app.
And rather than the 13 catalogs a year of days gone by, the company plans to produce just three per year moving forward. As before, the catalog will be free—and customers can either pick one up in stores or opt-in for it to arrive in their mailbox.
Opting for physical catalogs in a digital age might seem an odd play, but we’re in an era of nostalgia, when vinyl records and even cassette tapes are hot once more. So J.Crew is betting that by having something people can hold in their hands and dogear, it could create a bond between the shopper and customer.
