   PROJECT TITLE : Focus Groups in India for Global Clothing brand

  Background:
Partywear is a fast growing and emerging segment in the readymade garments market. This is a
recent phenomenon, about two years old and is arising out of a growing urban, youth culture of
partying, going to discotheques and nightclubs. The need for a separate wardrobe that suits the
   party
occasion has given rise to a few brands like Zod, Provogue, Mufti and also a lot of unbranded
   garments
available in fashion stores.

Since this is an emerging category, the client wanted to understand more about the consumers‘
lifestyle, preferences, attitude, behavior and usage. Hence, the client wanted to conduct exploratory
 qualitative research with a view to get the following information
    Information Areas:
- Understand the consumer, his wants, needs and drivers
- Understand his lifestyle, esp with respect to going out with friends, dining out, dating, pubbing,
  clubbing and partying
- Understand the place and significance of party wear in his wardrobe
- Functional, and more importantly, emotional benefits he derives from wearing partywear.
- Understand his buying behavior, buying occasions, usage patterns of party wear
- Preference for brands vs unbranded products
- Price and value for money perceptions
- Identify need gaps and opportunities

   Target customer:
- Male, SEC A, 18-28 yrs
- Goes to a party/night club/pub or discotheque at least once in a fortnight
