Advertising and public relations

Advertising is one of strategies in Marketing. Advertising presents the image of a brand and  core value of the brand. Advertising is the way to provide the awareness of products in the public and then convince the consumers to purchase them. So, advertising can be many different kind of media or channels establishing the connection between the consumers and the sellers, always crab consumers'  attention.

There are two major types of advertising – institutional advertising and product advertising. The institutional advertising for MUJI is trying to promote their philosophy or concept of lifestyle, and institutional advertising is MUJI’s main course because this is how this brand built up. Besides, the product advertising is for the products in the certain time and supports the idea of lifestyle. When there is new concept coming out, the new shape of products will come out along with. MUJI has environmental consciousness advertising appeal and focus on the simple lifestyle. The idea of MUJI is minimal, low price and environmentalist, so the products will be designed with this concept such as shrink-wrapped T-shirt cubes.

The media MUJI uses are divers. They have direct advertising from the retail store, also, they have print ad. Due to the progressive and technology blast age, MUJI develops the bran through the website and public communication tool like facebook in different countries with their own languages to establish the interaction between the brand and the consumers. By the public communication tool,  they can promote the goods and get the feedback which helps improve the idea of branding system. Also, nowadays, they combine their networking with ipad which provides the convenience for the customers.

       Indeed, we barely see lots of advertising, promotions, and bargain sale because Muji emphasizes more about the quality and the philosophy rather than the products, so they seldom do the persuasive advertising.
