Differentiation Strategy
To appeal to a value-oriented market, this product differentiates itself through accessible materials and a simpler design. Instead of a detailed mascot, it features a more generic and universally appealing character, avoiding any direct resemblance to the Vivienne. The use of acrylic and silicone significantly lowers the production cost and allows for a wider range of bright, eye-catching colors. The focus is on affordability and cheerful aesthetics rather than luxury and collectibility.
Success Replication
The strategy is to capture the essence of the Vivienne charm's success by focusing on its role as a whimsical and expressive accessory. It retains the dual functionality as both a bag charm and a keychain, appealing to practicality. The core idea of a cute, identifiable character is kept to tap into the trend of personalizing belongings with playful icons. This approach aims to replicate the "fun" and "self-expression" elements of the original product.
