Case Study
lululemon athletica
• Founded in 1998, in Kitsilano,
Vancouver, in response to the
growing number of females
taking up sports, specially yoga.
• Started as a design studio
surrounded by a retail store
providing yoga-inspired
clothing to females in Canada
and around the globe.
• To lululemon customers, the
gear isn’t just clothing. It is a
way of life. An experience. A
statement
• Thus, lululemon does much
more than just sell athletic
apparel. It creates an
unparalleled experience.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education Canada
• Originally design for athletes, the
lululemon clothing can be used by
almost anyone for any activity
• Although women were the
original target, lululemon
currently has a line of men’s
clothing.
• The brand is defined through the
store experience, superior-quality
garnments, and etincing retail
stores.
• The lululemon gear is not cheap.
And, yet, people flock to its stores.
• Customers are pasionate about the
brand, and they share this passion
with others.

consumption that might satisfy a need or want.

activities, benefits or satisfactions offered for sale
