IKEA: Plan

How does Ikea sell the idea of home to the masses?


  • meant to be individual/personal
  • sells personal home to masses across globe
  • way of life/consumerism


Brand Identity


  • stripped back and basic - recognised global
  • names of products
  • the warehouse - building/location/colours
  • packaging


Ideals


  • sell ideals of home life - family/first home
  • gain image of life they perceived


Do this by:

  • hyperreality/DIY style/advertisement/store setups/store layout/familylive


Hyperreality


  • forget there in a marketplace
  • illusion of the real life - setups
  • exaggerated images in ads


Advertisements


  • mother recent ad campaigns
  • examples of different lives - couples/families


Do It Yourself


  • self-esteem
  • sense of achievements/personal touch
  • make it seem not mass produced


The Store


  • setups - cosy,warm, atmosphere
  • layout - direction through store
  • pick - choose - get later (pencil)
  • pace/lightening/space


FamilyLive


  • home stories
  • blogs
Primary Research

  • go into store - time it - photograph it
  • interview with Ikea wis merch or mother?
  • sign up to familylive - blog
  • contact some bloggers
