The famous American women's brand Lips Gabon "anti-domestic violence" marketing

Many companies are tired of their marketing programs before the public gets bored with their marketing programs. The Liz Claiborne is different, its Cause-related Marketing project since its inception, from 1991 to 2002, every year, constantly relentlessly improve and update. Liz Claiborne took a leadership position in preventing and opposing domestic violence, and the project involving domestic violence has also become an iconic project for the company, with Liz Claiborne's marketing team maintaining this by introducing new perspectives and new ideas each year The freshness of the project constantly expands its connotation and scope under the premise of keeping the core objectives and themes of the project unchanged. Founded in 1976, Liz Claiborne is a New York-based company that produces and sells clothing, accessories and perfumery.

Its products are marketed through more than 30,000 stores and retail outlets throughout the world. For over a decade, Liz Claiborne has been consistently praised as "an innovative and socially responsible business leader" since launching this series of projects and activities on domestic violence. There are several factors that make this project different. First, LizClaiborne picked a topic that was not particularly trendy and not easy to manipulate, leaving LizClaiborne alone to "own" the subject. Second, for the next ten years or so, the company has been continuously working on various projects around this topic. Sword refers to the target customer base In 1991, the US-based global leader in the women's fashion brand LizClaiborne plans to develop a cause-related marketing (Cause-related Marketing) project.

But LizClaiborne wants to go one step further, as research shows that as consumers make purchasing choices, they increasingly consider the reputation of a company that consumers respect for businesses that are concerned and involved in solving social problems. The company hopes to find a problem women are concerned about as a starting point to develop a marketing program that requires it to be timely, consumer-relevant, and newsworthy. First, Liz Claiborne invited prominent female artists in the United States to create public works of art that deal with important women's issues. In Chicago, artist Leah Komaiko led a project where children from all cultural backgrounds wrote a book about "working mothers." In San Francisco, six well-known visual artists created a series of public service announcements on domestic violence. This has resulted in a viable and highly successful marketing project in the United States that has evolved around the theme of anti-domestic violence. There are several factors that make this project different. First, LizClaiborne picked a topic that was not particularly stylish and not easy to manipulate. At the time, the issue of breast cancer had attracted much corporate sponsorship and media attention, and the media paid little attention to the issue of domestic violence. It is for these reasons that Liz Claiborne can "own" this topic alone. Second, for the next ten years or so, the company has been continuously working on various projects around this topic. In the first year of the project, a nationwide survey found that 93% of American women believe domestic violence is a problem. This number is higher among LizClaiborne's clients, and clients who hold that view say they will be pleased with the companies that have started projects to help tackle the social problems.

In the meantime, the company launched the public service announcement on public radio and provided educational promotional materials to the public. In 1994, LizClaiborne hired the artist AnnetteLemieux to create limited-edition t-shirts and coffee mugs that were sold through LizClaiborne's stores throughout the country and a free hotline.

Public service ads that deal with traditional domestic violence issues often target women and tell them how to identify violent behavior and how to get help. And Liz Claiborne's PSAs talk about this issue in avant-garde, vanguard, and informative way to send messages to men. This time, the company used well-known male musicians as actors, such as BackstreetBoys (Backstreet Boys), ClintBlack, Coolio, KennyLoggins, RichardMarx, TravisTritt and others. The actors who appear in PSAs have masculine qualities and are examples of many men's minds. They devoted themselves to the idea that men should take the initiative in their anti-domestic violence campaigns. This set of ads calls for men who even if they have not committed domestic violence to stand up and discourage their friends, brothers and colleagues. This set of advertisements was broadcast in more than 2,000 radio stations throughout the country.
