How do you build a normal brand for everyday women?

Carefully set up PPC campaigns are a good thing. But they won't guarantee long-term growth. Holky z trhu first needed to work on their brand.

Where did we start?

Strategic questions: We helped the founders define their brand.

Customers: We gathered data on who shops at Holky z trhu.

Competition: We analyzed how they promote themselves and what people think of them.

What did we find?

The typical customer is a woman over 45 who isn't fond of online shopping. She doesn't like impersonal international brands or airbrushed models.

She wants to see the clothes on someone just like her.

Holky z trhu know exactly how these customers feel and what suits them.

When everyone else is orange, the girls go earthy

What do you do when your competitors are orange and turquoise?

We chose earthy browns and greens that evoke a market stall.

What do you do when your competitors airbrush their models to perfection?

Holky z trhu photograph their pieces themselves on real women.

What do you do when your competitors use impersonal geometric shapes?

We opted for a hand-drawn stall.

“The key emotions the visual identity should evoke are ease, authenticity, and naturalness. Single-line illustrations feel feminine and relaxed.”

We reach 385,000 people once a week. That’s a total of 1,540,000 impressions per month, for which we need 231,000 CZK.

Which ads did we use?

Facebook

Customers here respond very well to our ads. It’s common to see hundreds of comments and likes.
