Never without a new idea, the designer, Marc Jacobs, will open a pop-up store in the heart of New York tomorrow, for three days. Created for the launch of Fashion Week, this event also celebrates the launch of the brand's new fragrance, "Daisy". Whilst the store offers luxury items, perfumes and accessories, nothing can be bought with credit cards, cheque books or dollars. To purchase one of the articles, you have to give something of yourself and show your communicating talents as the brand offers its products for a message and a photo posted on the Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages dedicated to the Daisy Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop. The most creative and audacious will even win a luxury item from the new collection.
Increasingly widespread, this type of marketing campaign is now found in all kinds of sectors. The video games editor, Sony Computer Entertainment, distributed sandwiches for messages posted on Facebook or Tweeter, for the future launch of its God of War game, Ascension.
