About
Tiffany & Co which draws inspiration from the Victorian era which celebrates the young love, new love and holds a sentimental value. In 1837 , at Brooklyn in Connecticut, it was started by Charles Louis Tiffany and John B. Young
with the help of Charles father who is said to have made a profit from the cotton mill and financed the store for $1000. By 1853 tiffany and company laid major emphasis on jewelry while earlier they were “tiffany, young and Ellis” with “stationery and goods” in 1838. It was when Charles Tiffany took control over the firm and established it under his wings of what is lovingly called as Tiffany’s.
Beginning
When Tiffany and co was started there was a gradual growth. People were dynamic with choices and luxury was one of the major attractions, since industrialization had authorized people to afford the classic products which connected well with the class of people with extravagant money to spend on the classics of diamonds. People were elite and class conscious, they vouched for luxury and were interested in spending more money, slavery has just ended and cotton mills were being sold. Tiffany embarked upon the diamonds of all shapes and cuts, Kimberly the rarest, fanciest yellow diamond was patented by tiffany the engagement rings in 1886, tiffany became the best company with Edward c. Moore designs and becomes a household name which accentuated lifestyle and brand.
Road to Success
Tiffany has always been a dream of land which stands at the 5th avenue of Manhattan, the tiffany blue box which is a trademark of tiffany called egg- blue or forget me not blue. The Victorians were very fond of the color blue turquoise as one may recognize it a popular belief of the century that the bride’s gift’s a brooch to the attendant as a wedding day memento. The blue box was a symbol to tiffany and becoming as famous as the ring and called the 1837 blue. Tiffany who was the first to endorse, "love can be with anyone" and endorsed the idea in their ad campaign which declared their support for the same sex, tiffany has always predicted the idea of love rather original and has a stature which revolves around this epitome of love. Retailing a product like tiffany is sure to have benefits but how did they create this product that has no replacements? To create a product which reinforces the idea of exclusivity and high-end customers, the quality is refined and sophisticated, the diamond they produce is poetic and romanticizes the idea of art . With strategies, tiffany has tried to coexist with the augmented reality and struck the chord of emotional evolution. To sell a product one needs to understand the opulence of emotions that are enticed with buying a product, a product where emotions are not sold at the market it is created through soul .The ring finder app is again an exciting retailing strategy where customers virtually choose the best fit. The digital marketing of tiffany and co is another remarkable strategy.
Challenges
In appealing to the Supreme Court, Tiffany said the appeals court’s ruling was the latest in a series of cases around the world that have attempted to define whether Internet-based service providers can be held liable for infringing conduct of their users. Corona seems to have hit the economy in the worst way possible even for tiffany and co. there has been a temporary shut down for stores in mainland china and Hong Kong, with almost everything has been adversely impacted our “primary focus now is on preparing our Company, business and communities for the COVID-19 pandemic and the return to normal operation” as remarked by the employee. Global stock markets have slumped since the corona virus outbreak halted business activities, including travel and retail and spooked investors about a possible recession tiffany’s net earnings fell to $136.3 million, or $1.12 per share, in its fiscal second quarter, ended July 31, from $144.7 million, or $1.17 per share, a year earlier. Tiffany that mainly has buyers from traders and consumers who are relatively young but with recent changes in the economy it tiffany hits a low as the customers are price- conscious keeping in mind the scenario and needs it gravitates at a net sales of largely flat at $1.01 billion, while the average analyst estimate was $1.03 billion.
Failures
Tiffany remarked eBay earned $4.1 million from selling the tiffany jewelry between June 2000 to 2004. EBay opposed the appeal and urged the Supreme Court to reject it, saying that if trademark law were to be changed for Internet commerce, then it should be done by lawmakers , not by the courts. EBay said it has made substantial investments in anti-fraud measures, spending as much as $20 table is a failed product.
Tiffany sued eBay in 2004. But later it was ruled out that goods which were sold by eBay were sold by the website and hence eBay does not stand responsible for any damage or as indicated “ infringement”.
“Indeed, eBay did not itself sell counterfeit Tiffany goods; only the fraudulent vendors did, and that is in part why we conclude that eBay did not infringe Tiffany’s mark,” the appeals court said in its ruling in April..”
And in the light of this information tiffany lost the lawsuit. eBay went free. A setback for tiffany and company.
