Erno Laszlo's CEO Charles Denton is fully aware of the potential his brand has in the Chinese market. After entering the country's marketplace over five years ago by setting up several counters in department stores and shops on Alibaba's B2C marketplace Tmall.
Erno Laszlo的首席执行官Charles Denton充分意识到他的品牌在中国市场的潜力。五年前进入中国市场后,他们在阿里巴巴B2C市场天猫旗舰店和百货商场设立了几个柜台。
“Our goal [in China] is over the next five years to have 30-40 department stores [up from five] and 10-20 boutiques, which we call ‘Laszlo spaces,’” Denton told Jing Daily in a recent interview in New York, adding that “we will be launching our stand-alone stores with the first one in Shenzhen this spring/summer.”
“我们[在中国]的目标是在未来五年内拥有30-40家百货商店(从五家作为起点)和10-20家精品店,我们称之为'拉斯洛空间',”丹顿最近在接受采访时这样告诉《精日传媒》,约克补充说:“今年春夏,我们将在深圳开设第一家专卖店。”
In the West, Erno Laszlo is fortunate to have had a legendary line-up of devotees, including Hollywood goddesses Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and Grace Kelly, which, to some extent, makes the brand an easy sell. In China, Erno Laszlo is still a niche brand, but it has accumulated a small number of loyal fans in recent years because of its high-quality products. Denton said that this loyal group of Erno Laszlo advocates would need to be the company’s champions for it could grow in the future.
在西方,Erno Laszlo很幸运有一个传奇的推崇者阵容,包括好莱坞女神奥黛丽赫本,玛丽莲梦露和格蕾丝凯莉,这在某种程度上使这个品牌很容易畅销。在中国,Erno Laszlo仍然是一个利基品牌,但近年来由于其高品质的产品,它已经积累了少量的忠实粉丝。丹顿说,他们需要忠诚的Erno Laszlo推崇者的支持来帮助公司未来的成长。
