Vans Custom: Everyone Can Be An Artist

In the fashion world, the design is one of the most competitive elements. When people shop for brand clothing, design and style are the key points to make the final decision. 

For the Z generation, pursing personality and creativity are common psychological needs. Being cool and different become their main fashion style.

Vans catch those young consumer's pain point: to be no one and to be different. They allow consumers to customize their own Vans sneakers online. 



I feel very interesting, so I visit the Vans Custom page to check it out.  There are four categories to customize: men's, women's, kids, and backpacks. 

There are eight parts of the shoes you can customize: vamp, quarters, heel counter, binding, collar lining, foxing, foxing stripe, and elastic gore. I begin to try different colors and features on each part of the shoes. 



If you don't like those online features, Vans also encourage consumers to upload an image and make a unique design for the shoes. 



Consumers are not only consumers but also designers and artists. You can customize your shoes in your own style to fit your life.

Many brands have a headache to figure out the most popular style to get consumers excited. Vans custom is a creative idea to work with consumers. By allowing consumers to design their own shoes, it will activate their passion for being artists. I don't know your style, and I don't know what you really like, so you create your own.

Especially for the young generation, they want to be different. They don't like to follow the trend because they want to be the trend. Vans custom allows those young consumers to express themselves and present their style in a practical way. It definitely enhances the digital interaction and emotional connection with the brand.

Design our own style is cool, but it is also expensive. The customize shoes may cost up to hundred dollars. The main consumers are high school or college students. They felt excited to design their own shoes, but when they see the final price, they had to stop.

For young consumers, to be different and cool may costly, so the final conversion may not meet the expectation.

Starbucks: Three Main Benefits For Writing Customer Name On The Cup

Whenever I order a small Starbucks coffee, I am always asked "What's your first name?" by a cashier. Even I was the only person to order, they still asked my name. Not only Starbucks, now many other bubble tea brands such as Vivi, Coco, Gong Tea also start calling customer's names. Why does Starbucks write customer name on the cup? What're the benefits to do that? Image from writingelves.com Self-Promotion In the beginning, Starbucks wrote customer names because they received too many orders. Marking down names would prevent mistakes. Later on, Starbucks found that writing names do not only improve work efficiency but also increase brand awareness.   Sometimes (most times) Starbucks spell the wrong name. You think customers will get angry? Actually no. In contrast, people feel Starbucks is not only a coffee shop but also a coffee shop with its own personality.  Image From Memeguy Some customers also make fun with Starbucks. They come up with...

Just Eat:" No Match Is A Wrong Match"

A lot of us are struggling to find our true love. However, when we finally find the right one, the relationship may not always have a happy ending. Many people, like my parents' generation, think love is only between a man and a woman. They are very hard to accept "man-man" or "woman-woman" or couple from different cultures.  Whenever I say we should respect all kinds of relationships, my parents think I have a problem. Overall, I need to be fixed.  Because of those judgement and bias, some people have to hide their true feelings of love. They don't have enough courage to tell the truth because they think no one will  understand them. The most important, they don't want get hurt. The sponsor of Milan Pride 2019, Just Eat App  created a special love story between a slice of pizza and a pineapple. This Ad "Just Amore" is calling on everyone should have freedom choice no matter with relationship or meal. Brief Story: One...
