Annual spending figures<br />

Typically large companies spend 8-10% of total revenue on marketing (Forbes.com,<br />

2014). Saint Laurent’s 2012 annual revenue was €473,000,000 (Kering Annual Report,<br />

2012) making their annual spending figures on marketing around €37,840,000 (8%).<br />

Current advertising activities (traditional and digital)<br />

Saint Laurent creates advertising material which can be found in fashion magazine such<br />

as i-D, V Magazine, W Magazine and Vogue to name a few. Advertisements can also<br />

be found on their website, on online banner advertisements and on their social media<br />

platforms (Facebook and Twitter). The advertisements usually feature celebrity endorsements.<br />

Recently (April 2013), Saint Laurent released a music project campaign that<br />

featured Courtney Love, Marilyn Manson and Daft Punk to reference the brand’s heritage<br />

and image of rock and roll. In addition to advertisements, Saint Laurent also creates seasonal<br />

catwalk shows.<br />

Direct Marketing initiatives<br />

Currently, Saint Laurent creates a monthly newsletter that is sent to customers email<br />

addresses which are captured in store or from their website. The newsletter features the<br />

Current Sale promotion activities (sales initiatives)<br />

Through Saint Laurent’s newsletters they offer promotion codes. Typically the promotion<br />
