Discuss economic trend similar to emergence of self-buying


Assigmnent

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Tiffany & Co recently stepped down amid continued financial struggles and disappointing sales results for the upmarket jewelry retailer. To increase sales, Tiffany & Co has decided to target a new consumer segment, "self-buying women." From the United States to Europe and Asia, growing numbers of financially independent women are deciding that they are not going to wait to receive jewelry from partners and husbands and are increasingly buying their own jewelry. (Hence, the term "self-buying" women).

Women today are more financially independent than ever before, and they also trust their own taste rather than that of their partner or spouse. Rising female jewelry self-purchasing is coinciding with historic numbers of financially independent women who have more disposable cash available than ever before. They are proud of their independence and want firm evidence for their own self-satisfaction.

"Women make better purchases for themselves than men do," said one jewelry designer. "You don't send your boyfriend or husband to buy you a dress because you don't know what he might come back with. The same principle applies to jewelry."

Select a key demographic, social, competitive or economic trend similar to the emergence of "self-buying women" and explain how it will, or should, affect the marketing strategy (i.e. segmentation, targeting and promotion) of a company of your choice.

It is important that you select both an interesting company and trend for this assignment. (Take the time to discuss and select sound examples with your groupmates).

The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
