The millennium rebirth of the mINI reintroduced a way of life to consumers new and old with one thing in common: fun. The evolution ‘defined a new market’ by giving owners the highly appealing option to customize their new investment. MINI ‘fired the gun on a trend that is now widely copied’ (mINI uk, 2013) by others within not only the automotive industry but beyond. The initiative behind personalization derives from different consumer lifestyles and a desire for individuality. Creating an essential, generic product in a fun and desirable way that appeals to a broad range of consumers is what mINI do best with their vehicles. mINI also successfully showcase the cars within visual, atmospheric and fun dealerships creating an experience that differs from others dealerships in the market. They have established themselves as fun, stylish and fashionable innovators who are willing to try new things and involve themselves in other industries like music and film. The following report aims to implement these attributes into an entry-level product range, experiential store, initially targeted at consumers who aspire to buy into the brand and current mINI owners.

PROduCT ExPaNsIONThe current lifestyle range is more successful overseas, suggesting that it is not targeted correctly at the British market. The apparel range cannot compete with other fashion collections, due to lack of exposure and credibility in the market. The collection has been branded with a more merchandise aesthetic and so rather than developing the current range into a fully fledged fashion range, the decision was made to design a brand new range of lifestyle products: mINI hOmE. Consumer research showed that the MINI consumer base is very broad. To reflect this, mINI hOmE will target a broad consumer base. The products explore the idea of items for the home being a necessity, not a luxury, reflecting the necessity of having a car. To differ from the rest of the homeware and electrical appliance market, the usP will be a range that is fully customizable, and the design/customization process will be similar to the process when purchasing a car.mOVE away FROm ThE dEaLERshIPsas the dealerships are mostly located out of town,
mainly in industrial estates, the decision was made to place the range in central, high street locations within major cities around the country, ensuring maximum consumer exposure and accessibility. Placing the lifestyle range out of town alienates the range to consumers, whose sole interest is in the mINI vehicles.ExPERIENTIaL sTOREa new experiential store aims to deliver consumers an experience that is less about the products and more about interacting with the brand.TEChNOLOgyA ‘phy-gital’ (physical space with digital elements. Ls:N global s/s, 2013) will be created to house the products allowing consumer to interact with the brand and heighten their experience. Consumers will be able to share their experiences instantly online.FOOdInspired by The Puma Café (FIg. 3), a hybrid of retail space and restaurant/café (eatery) will give the space two purposes: shop and Eat

VIsITs TO ThE dEaLERshIPThe Nottingham, birmingham, wolverhampton and Leicester dealerships were visited to observe the placement and visual merchandising of the lifestyle range in each. Observations concluded that the lifestyle range was placed in the corners of the store that were furthest away from the main entrances. (see Research stage pg: 68) It was not given much thought in terms of visual merchandise, also the lack of products on offer resulted in the range to feel out of place. CuRRENT LIFEsTyLE PROduCT RaNgE aNaLysIsThe current range in the dealerships and product brochures were analyzed for their style and appeal to the British market. The products are heavily branded with large mINI logos and are clearly marketed to international consumers as most images unrealistically feature international number plates on the cars and scenes photographed abroad. (see FIgs. 2 and 4)CONsumER REsEaRChConsumer research involved current owners of
mINIs photographing their cars and themselves. The mINI is a car loved by many, these images were requested to gather a collection of the different types of consumers who already interact with the brand.INVEsTIgaTION aROuNd ThE CaR PuRChasINg ExPERIENCEThe staff interviews and consumer insights showed that the car purchasing experience was too corporate, boring and too sales focused.sTaFF INTERVIEwsA structured interview took place with a member of the Nottingham mINI dealership. majid wahid (see Research Stage pg: 62) spoke of the steps staff go through with a new mINI consumer, and when the lifestyle range is introduced into the sales procedure. It became clear that the lifestyle range was an ‘after thought’ in the sales journey and staff were more likely to throw something in for free from the range when the car was purchased. Further conversations revealed that the lifestyle range is not inquired about by visiting consumers, the sole purpose for visiting is the car

From 2013-2015, the housing market is set to improve very slightly, raising the opportunity for MINI HOME to share a slice of the benefits. Consumers are expected to spend more on their homes and are now trading up to higher quality goods for their homes, making investment purchases, trusting that will not need to replace them very often. Therefore, they are looking for timeless goods that not only have a purpose but accessorise their homes. (Mercer, J. 2013: online) ‘Economic Austerity’ has also encouraged an interest in ‘home baking, hot beverage makers and food preparation products’ (Mason, N. 2012: online) and television programmes like ‘The Great British Bake Off ’, ‘Food Glorious Food’ and Jamie Oliver’s ’15 Minute Meals’ means that consumers are spending more and more time at home and in the kitchen. The market currently offers small electrical appliances at basic, mid and luxury ends. However, there is a gap in the market for mINI hOmE as it adds customization and experience to the menu. a product expansion range for an already fashionable, stylish and functional brand could arguably be a natural step to make. Steamer company Fridja, are an example of a successful fashionably functional brand. Ben Fridja aims to take a usually quite ugly product and make it beautiful and nice to have around. They argue that ‘people spend time and effort looking good, so why shouldn’t the tools used to prepare the clothes look as good?’ (Fridja, 2013: online). Although the product is essentially just a steamer, consumers, designers and exhibitors like London Fashion Weekend show interest in them due to a simple choice of colours available, something that is lacking in the steamer market. This suggests that consumers are willing to splurge on product that is customizable and personal to them reflecting the MINI HOME’s USP. The design process takes place within the store and RTG (Ready-To-Go) appliances are also available.

ThE CONSuMERS
since research during the stage one, it was evident that the mINI consumer base cannot be generalized; therefore they have been segmented into the uRbAN ELITE, yOuNG FAMILy AND EMPTy NESTERS. Each consumer needs the products that mINI hOmE offers at some point in their lives, whether moving into a new home together, redecorating due to having a family, or refreshing their style once their children have left home.

ThE sTORE: CONCEPT
FIg. 19 - IN sTORE LayOuT
The in store environment will consist of hybridity, coalition and collaborative space utilization to merge a retail space and concept store with an eatery. The LS:N Global Trend Briefing A/W 2012 (see Research Stage page: 82) explored the recession causing many unfilled shop spaces being converted into multifunctional spaces. The mINI hOmE store will be at the forefront of experiential marketing. But, unlike pop-up events and exhibitions, it will serve as a permanent space for the MINI HOME range to be showcased. The space will be a deli bar by day and with a simple quick change in lighting and storage will become a restaurant at night, appealing to the daytime city shopper and also the evening outer. The decision to have a transitional deli bar to restaurant has come from research into major cities introducing longer trading hours and collaborative spaces. as opposed to the store following normal trading hours, it exploits popular times of the day when people like to go out and eat.
Consumers will be surrounded by an interactive environment and the mINI hOmE products, it will be a ‘brand playground’ (Fitch Brand Consultancy 2013) for consumers, encouraging them to engage with the products and allow them to experience the range from the design process right through to purchase. The aim is to create a memorable experience for every consumer. Consumers can get to know the products before making the decision to purchase them with the non-pressured try before you buy element. The menu consists of classic British dishes to tie into the brand’s heritage and also fill a gap in the food market by introducing authentic high quality British meals that are not in a pub environment.
The store/eatery fully utilizes the products in the process of making meals for the consumers. There will be mINI fridges around the room so that consumers can see the products in action when the waitresses collecting their drinks and desserts from them. The layout will be very open with no barriers between the kitchen and table so that consumers can see their food being prepared with MINI products. The products will also be used as decorative items around the store.
Technology will form the link between MINI HOME and MINI dealerships for the consumer with the use of Windows Surface tablets built into the tabletops with integrated gamification and socializing platforms.An ideal location for the first store would be a lively city area that houses stylish fashion and lifestyle stores, homeware stores and a few places to eat. A potential location could be London’s Brompton Road so that MINI HOME can be surrounded by the likes of ZARA Home, Harrods and the small independent restaurants and cafes further down the road. This would place the store in an area that attracts consumers to three different areas, food, fashion and home; all of which can be found at the mINI hOmE store. however, this could also be alienating for the younger consumer as many of the stores are bordering high end in the affluent Knightsbridge area.
38 39
TabLETOP INTERACTION
The store will provide a fully integrated experience with windows surface tablets built into the tops of the dining tables. Visitors can find product information, explore the menu, design their own products or car, play a mINI racing game against other members of their dinner party of compete against other tables and can connect with their local mINI dealerships to arrange test drives and consultations. To make their experience as social as possible, they can share every element of their visit to mINI hOmE. windows surface tablets have been chosen to host the tabletop app because of its simple coloured tiled aesthetic. The bright colours fit in well with the brand, making the collaboration relevant and appropriate.

CONNECT:DEALERShIPS
The tablets will enable consumers to connect with the dealerships right from their seats. as mINI hOmE is an entry level product, the mINI vehicles are aspirational purchases to those without a mINI. The Connect section of the app allows them to find their local dealership, book a test drive and book an appointment to discuss purchasing a mINI. The aim of this is to increase footfall into the out of town dealerships.

smaRTPhONE APPThe smartphone app allows the consumers to have a taste of the mINI experience at home or on the go. It integrates elements of the tabletop tablet app like product purchasing and customization. an about section tells the consumer about the mINI hOmE store and what they can find there, along with where their nearest store is.Consumers can also play games as shown previously on the tablet.

To promote mINI hOmE, a variety of campaigns will be used. Firstly, six weeks prior to launch, current MINI consumers will receive a product launch notification in the form of a specially designed MAKE IT MINI apron and lookbook in the post. A MAKE IT MINI apron has been created in four different colours. Each apron has handy kitchen unit conversions on them to make them useful as well as fashionable, reflecting the MINI brand as a whole. These will be the first set of consumers to hear about the new product range.
Journalists, bloggers and celebrities will be sent a press pack with a press release, lookbook, MAKE IT MINI apron and images to use when publishing articles about the range. A press night will run one week prior to launch, giving access to members of the press before consumers, potentially resulting in reviews being written and a raise in awareness of the products. The press night will include live demonstrations of all of the products, and allow the chance for people to get involved, testing out the range for themselves.(please see appendix for full list of influential journalists/bloggers etc. who would receive the press pack)

PRINT CamPaIgN
Four weeks prior to the launch of the store, a print campaign will run in all major influential style and home magazines like The Observer, shortlist, stylist, Elle decoration, wallpaper, sunday Times, Ideal home, Interior design, Time Out, The guardian wishlist etc. The print campaign will act as a preview of the product range, in which the readers will interact with the brand by using the provided magnifying card to view the product on the page. The magnifying card has been used within the campaign to play with the term ‘MAKE IT MINI’. As shown, the miniature products on the page can only be seen clearly through the magnifying card which will be provided with the ad, stuck to the page with a ‘sticky dot’ The range of magazines mentioned illustrates the broad consumer base, ensuring exposure across the three main consumers.

FACE-TO-FACE CamPaIgN
To remain ‘fun’ and consumer focused, it has been decided to reincarnate the MINI ice cream van, that has been created by car enthusiasts over the years. The brand has never been personally involved with the vans, allowing the opportunity for mINI to get involved with something that has only ever been explored independently. The makE IT mINI ice cream van campaign seizes the chance to interact with the public on a more personal level and through the mutual love of ice cream. The campaign aims to send rebranded mINI ice cream vans to launch cities during their individual launch week. It will tour town centres playing the instantly recognizable ice cream van jingle to announce its arrival. The public have the chance to design their own ice cream flavour combinations, tying in with the ‘design your own’ features of the vehicle and the MINI HOME range. Consumers create their own personal combination of ice cream flavour/toppings and upon finishing their masterpiece, will be faced with an exclusive invitation in the bottom of the cup, to the launch night of their local mINI hOmE store. There will also be a qR code to visit the website and download the mINI hOmE app.

Once the store has launched and is fully functioning, an online #makeitmini campaign will run to continue the conversation surrounding the brand. mINI photobooths will be placed into the stores where consumers can have their photograph taken to create an everlasting image of their mINI hOmE experience. The photobooths will be specialized to make the subjects ‘mini’, playing with the ‘MAKE IT MINI’ campaign slogan. Furthermore, the subjects will be able to play with props and backgrounds, making the experience as fun and sharable as possible. Printed versions of the images can be printed on the spot and can also be shared on social media sites with the hashtag #makeitmini. This will continue to spread the word about the stores and products. Photobooths in retail sand live events are not uncommon, the Benefit pop up stand at London Fashion Weekend (February 2013) had a simple photobooth, printing out four passport style images for visitors to take home for free. It was a very popular feature with visitors queuing all day to have their photograph taken. Adding the digital sharing element at MINI HOME will help to market the concept. This will also be a main feature on the launch and press nights, where photos taken will be directly uploaded onto screens around the store and the mINI twitter feed.

TELEvISION CAMPAIGN makE IT a mINI mORNINg
Each of the campaigns so far runs the risk of not reaching the target consumer due to the selected locations and choice of magazine. Therefore, a television campaign has been mocked up to create national reach to each of the segmented consumers. an advert with three different versions has been written to ensure that MINI’s broad consumer base gains awareness of mINIs new venture. The concept plays with the makE IT mINI slogan, suggesting that each household should ‘MAKE IT MINI’ and inject some of the brand into their kitchen. The advert will show each family’s morning breakfast routine, initially highlighting the stress, chaos and mess that occurs around the breakfast table before the introduction of a product from the mINI hOmE range. Once the product is shown on screen the family will be portrayed as calm and collected since they have made their morning a MINI Morning, making their lives more stylish, calm and rejuvenated.
The motive behind creating three different versions of the brand aims to connect with the different types of families who see the advert.The advert creates a narrative around the products, an emotive connection and creates a relatable situation that most families can sympathise with.

The television advert will also be broadcast online via youTube where users can share the situation that relates to them the most.
Post purchase tweets or photos on instagram of the products themselves will generate more use of the hashtag.
during the launch event for both the press and the consumers, the mINI photobooths will be the main source of online activity. As people have their photographs taken, they
can share them online, increasing brand awareness.
The hashtag will first be revealed on the aprons that are sent out in the direct mail campaign. Consumers will be encouraged to upload an image of themselves wearing
their new MAKE IT MINI apron in their kitchen. This will help to spread the word about the new products on the market.

The mINI hOmE concept holds much scope for development in the future. To expand the range further, a collaboration with one of the most significant and contemporary innovators, James Dyson could take the brand further. A well designed in-car vacuum cleaner that fits into the storage space of a MINI could incorporate the aesthetics of both mINI hOmE and the car to remain consistent and ‘on brand’.

The concept also proposes a brand new product range in a market that MINI have never entered before. This holds many risks for any brand, but with MINIs long and successful history and good reputation, they have the potential to transfer their skills and expertise into a new market, providing consum-ers with the ‘fun’ MINI experience on the British high street. MINIs heritage is already full of fashion and style and reflect-ing this through a timeless product range that is not affected by fast-fashion provides many more opportunities in the future.

We wanted Matt’s opinion on some of the app mock ups that we had created Advice on report structure
Feedback from session:
Went through reports from the previous year to have a look at how they structured their reports to see how we could best structure ours Matt had a look at the structure and advised that we needed to introduce the products earlier to make the writing more clear and concise. Good feedback about the app, we explained why we chose to use Windows Surface tablets instead of the usual iPads.
Tasks for next session:
Interim presentation, have a clearer idea and some product sketches to show how we have developed MINI to MINI HOME Work on presenation Work on marketing strategy, as we currently are lacking this vital component!

Interim Presentation
Learning issues to discuss in session:
Marketing and communication strategy needs to be developed as we only have our initial ideas to promote the product extension. Think about the location of the stores. – within an independent coffee house store across the country or pilot it first as a stand alone or a pop up.
Feedback from session:
There was confusion between MINI HOME & MINI LIVE.Need to tie it all together as the elements of our idea seem to feel separate and not connected enough. Work on the strapline KEEP it MINI – and how it relates to everything.
Need to develop communication strategy further as don’t really have a marketing strategy.Do we want to include the MINI LIVE stores separately or do we want them to collaborate with independent cafes.
Tasks for next session:
Change MINI HOME product range & MINI LIVE stores to both to MINI HOMEWork on the product mock ups – collaborate with a product design student.Make it clear how the MINI LIVE store, dealership and product all link together.
