122 Price Price Visitor Price Topshop accessibility as a high street brand has encouraged the production of the Topshop village, a complimentary event that would allow anyone who wishes, to dive into the fashion industry world. Event Values Exclusivity Spectacle Entertainment Informative British Fashion Modernism Visitor’s investment Time Transportation Social media p articip ation There will be no financial investement requested from guest apart from the retail installation such as the pop up store and digital shop, which will act more as services and have for main objective to drive excitement amongst Topshop fans, adding an extra reason for them to travel to the Topshop Village, rather than generate sales. Investment This event will represent a large financial investment for Topshop (*1). This one off anniversary event will hold a budget larger than the usual Topshop Unique seasonal showing. In return of financial investment, Topshop aims to produce a high calibre event in sync with a viral promotion for Unique anniversary. The event will serve as a tool for the further establishment of Topshop as an unmissable and remarkable brand both excelling in the high street and on London fashion runway. Visitor / Brand Dynamic The Topshop village will be promoted as a free entertaining event in its form, but will principally serve as a tool of promotion for Topshop, in its purpose. Because of the complimentary value of the event, Topshop has inverse the dynamic that exists between the brand and its consumers; Topshop as host, becomes the dominant figure in the client/brand relationship while visitors become the submissive figures, passive participant of its happening. This event is an opportunity for Topshop to impose a point of view and identity and the complimentary value of the event makes it a non- negotiable pathway for visitors. Visitors will be spectators and passive participants but will not impact on the value of it. 123
