Precision Marketing Strategies and Business Operations Analysis of Sports Business Brands - A Case Study of Lululemon

Abstract

Lululemon is an international sportswear brand founded in Vancouver, Canada, in 1998. The brand was founded by Chip Wilson, who laid the foundation for the brand's creation with his yoga-inspired fashion trend. With a focus on yoga, Lululemon opened its first store in Vancouver in 2000 and went public in 2007. Chip Wilson's marketing efforts played a significant role in the success of Lululemon. This study aims to analyze Lululemon's marketing strategies, focusing on the 'yoga' track to expand high-value potential customers and target the 'She Power/She Community'. The research adopts case study, comparative analysis, and text analysis methods to conduct a detailed investigation of Lululemon's marketing approaches by analyzing relevant literature and marketing cases. Compared to traditional sports brands, Lululemon places greater emphasis on the emotional experience of female users. This study will focus on the rise of 'She Power' and raise awareness of the potential of the Chinese female consumer market, highlighting the importance of 'people'. From brand philosophy to product design and event programs, the emphasis is on the emotional experience of 'people'. This research suggests that other companies can learn from Lululemon's marketing strategies to enhance brand awareness and sales performance through innovative and personalized approaches.
