This would decide if the market is being oversaturated with children clothing or if it could be a market where the company can have some market share. For example, if the market has a lot of competition within children’s shoes the manager might want to market shoes as their first product. Since they are brand new to this market they would have to build up brand image in this sector to be able to compete with other companies. However, if the market is not competitive and has a potential to grow in regards to children’s pants then a manger could make the decision to manufacture and market that product extensively.

I strongly believe that children should come with an instruction manual in different languages, after all, even the most complicated computer system or VCR has a manual in three to four languages, or more. Granted, sometimes we can't understand the instructions, but we have them and sometimes even a toll-free help line. Now some people would say their own parent would be the help-line but not always does that work out. Our own parents advice can be, shall I say, out-dated; for example, many would suggest to us "new" parents to tell our child, "what we say goes," or "stop that crying or I'll give you something to cry about," or "do it because I'm the parent and I said so," not the desired tone for positive interaction with our children. So often parents today are left with either, no instructions at all, or, not the right kind of instructions.
On the twenty-first of August, our Wearable History class took a trip to downtown Bowling Green, to visit Mosaic Confinement Studio. The studio had an old-fashioned vibe, and was like a vintage-garment haven. There, we were asked to choose a piece that we thought was vintage, identify the time period it actually came from, and also take some additional notes on the style and the garment’s details. After searching through multiple racks, the first piece I found was a lace blazer. It turned out to only be vintage-inspired, so I went searching again. I came across a few other pieces, but nothing was really jumping out at me. Eventually, I came across a lavender dress that immediately made me think of Julia Roberts in “Mystic Pizza”, and I knew I found my garment.
The case study we analyzed was the North American clothing company Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F), which was founded in Manhattan, New York over 100 years ago, currently with over 1000 stores worldwide. A study conducted in 2015 from a man by the name of Samuel V. Bruton was completed to examine the morality of looks-based hiring. Abercrombie & Fitch is notorious for hiring those who fit the “all-American image,” while subjugating those who do not fit into this look by sending them to the stockroom, where these people are isolated from intermingling with customers; A&F admitted to hiring based on physical appearance. Our society is built upon a certain standardized beauty, where we have certain standards for aspects such as skin colour, height,
The principles of marketing (The Times 100, n.d) are a range of processes concerned with finding out what consumers want, and providing it for them.
