NIMA Marketing Excellence Awards – SuitSupply – Overall winnaar 2008
SuitSupply heeft de Marketing Excellence Award 2008 voor dé marketingorganisatie van het jaar 2008 gewonnen. De andere kanshebbers waren Philips en Rabobank. De vakjury toonde zich onder de indruk van het krachtige, unieke concept dat Suitsupply in de modebranche heeft neergezet. Suitsupply creëert een leuke paradox in de modewereld: een Umfeld van high fashion met prijzen van een discounter. Dit onderscheidend vermogen maakt het merk zo sterk en levert de organisatie een hoge mate van markt- en klantgerichtheid op. Suitsupply blijft continu werken aan haar formule. Met name de voortdurende expansie en de samenwerking met NOC*NSF vallen op. Het consistente gedrag is het bewijs van het visionair ondernemerschap en sterk leiderschap. Hoewel Suitsupply zelf zegt geen marketingbeleid te hebben, verraadt de gehele marketingmix wel een buitengewoon sterke oriëntatie op het merk. De locatiekeuze, de prijs-kwaliteitverhouding en de reclame de mix is gewoonweg Excellent!.
