Indiska-A study of Indiska´s strategies toward a Fashiontainment concept (English)
Abstract [en]
Consumers seem to become more demanding in their buying behaviour within the fashion
market. The society refers to individualism, personality and creativity, which affect people’s way
of dressing themselves. Many companies have started to work with aspects that create a
consumer experience to meet the customers’ new demands. Some fashion companies have even
shown a tendency to apply the entertainment industry in their concept, which generates in a
phenomenon that can be called fashiontainment. This paper aims to revise the Swedish fashion
company Indiska. The mission of the company is “We will offer a unique mix of fashion and
home furnishing with inspiration from India that pleases a lot of people”. Indiska has lately
developed a couple of new marketing strategies that include making their target market wider to
also attract the females of the younger generation. This thesis aim to investigate how Indiska can
combinate Indian culture and Swedish fashion in their communication to attract the younger
females of the fashion market. The study will also investigate how the company may develop
their marketing strategies and marketing channels to create a customer experience for their
chosen target market. The empirical and theoretical part of the study has been designed in
purpose to answer the given problems. The thesis will be in Swedish.
This thesis is created from a hermeneutic point of view and from an inductive reasoning method.
We have collected empiric data by field studies in India and by observation of Indiska’s stores in
Sweden. We have also done a number of qualitative interviews with key persons within the
company. In the theoretical chapter we describe the consumer behaviour and marketing
strategies, as well as branding and theory of experience. Indiska has for a long time offered a
store concept, which doesn’t place them within the ordinary segment because of their niche
strategies. The stores communicate directly to the customer and the purpose is to create an
illusion of India. By maintaining and developing these strategies according to the room of
experience model Indiska may satisfied the consumers’ demands of experience seeking. The
conclusion of our essay, is that Indiskas new concept “Bohemian Modern”, seems to meet the
younger generations’ needs and demands of differentiation. By combining Scandinavian
simplicity with Indian culture, Indiska seems to be a company that accomplish the demands of
the younger generations. Indiska already has knowledge in the four different dimensions of
experience that they may profit from in order to attain a fashiontainment concept.
