Hogwarts Blueprint Map

What is a Flagship store brand?


The Flagship Store ...

A showcase for the brand? Retain new customers or simply a function of single point of sale?

See for yourself ...

- Working the image (as at Shiseido in Tokyo, where nothing is for sale!)
- A question of profitability, as we see in most cases such as the Adidas new space in Paris, which provides references to sections 1800, nearly 70% of the total supply of the brand. ..).


Different targets Flagship store:

Business to Business (as the "Ford Forum Nanterre)

Maybe she even found the ultimate weapon against the many dangers that threaten it and a miracle solution to the inadequacies of some proven marketing tools classic ...
