Topic 10: Consumer Preference and Utility - Skechers‏


Skechers is basically a shoe company that targets younger group of people from 12 to 24. The video is basically about how they find ideas through seeking it in various places in various ways. For instant, through seeking fashion senses from nightclubs or fashion magazines and also from television commercials. They would also conduct surveys and get responds from the younger people, which are their target and so they will just use it as a reference and product products. They located their offices at those geographically extreme places, in mountains and deserts, which are places you need the most for those shoes. Their shoes are the most suitable for outdoor activities, such as hiking and walking in deserts. For myself, I really hated skechers because the design is just very ugly and old-fashioned. In addition, skechers are usually expensive, why would I pay such price and get durable shoes with very ugly look. I usually go for converse or vans for shoes, because they are relatively cheaper and their design never get old. I personally do not like shoes that are too sporty because if i have shoes that are really sporty it would just be a little weird if I wear it too school. Basically I just like to but shoes that I can wear in all kinds of situations.
