This week, we've been working on a project for a client from Hong Kong.
Our client is starting a men's fashion label and we're developing their business plan, brand identity, and some of their advertising and marketing materials. We're also building them an eCommerce site.
As part of our planning process, we've researched what other players in the men's fashion market are doing. We want to make sure that our client stands out from the crowd and we also want to learn from our competitors' mistakes. One of the main competitors that we've identified is a company called Mr Porter.
Below, you can read our thoughts on Mr Porter's website. See what Mr Porter is doing well, learn about what they're doing poorly, and find out how we plan to do things differently.

For this edition of Market Research we went to Kingsway Garden Mall.
I've been thinking about getting a new phone lately, so I suggested we check out some of the cell phone companies in the mall and see what they're doing for in-store marketing.
We visited Bell, Mobilicity, Telus and Wireless Wave and—in addition to checking out their branding—we examined their sales techniques as well.
Keep on reading to see what we discovered.
