BLOGGERS play a big role in the marketing activities of fast fashion brands like Quiz
A millennial phenomenon, bloggers – who publish written and video articles online – can pick up tens, or even hundreds of thousands of followers, and subsequently become highly influential within their peer group. It therefore pays for brands to have these bloggers writing about their products.
Before Christmas Quiz sent a team of bloggers on a trip to New York.
“We’ve got a social team purely focused on influencer blogger outreach,” says chief executive Tarak Ramzan.
“That team invited five UK bloggers, we’re hosting them out there for four or five days, we’ll take them out to see the Lord & Taylor pop-up and we’ll be doing trips and events, the whole event they are wearing and promoting Quiz, pushing it out on Snapchat and Instagram to their followers. It’s a way to get people excited about the brand while pushing our products.
“When I was young every kid kept a low profile. It’s no longer like that. It’s all these Millennials posting videos of themselves and selfies and saying ‘wow look at me, I’m this and that’.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
