Title: Tears of Dreams: The Ketamine Jersey Phenomenon
Introduction: Tears of Dreams, a 3 year old clothing brand run by a 21 year old, has always been synonymous with avant-garde fashion and pushing the boundaries of creativity. With a fervent fan base eagerly awaiting each release, Tears of Dreams embarked on a daring venture with the restock of its "Ketamine" Jerseys. What followed was a whirlwind of attention and success, resulting in an astonishing $86,000 in revenue within the first 24 hours of release and just shy of $150K in the 1 week the store was open.
Background: Tears of Dreams had been emerging from the fashion underground due to innovative designs, often drawing inspiration from diverse sources ranging from art to societal themes. In this instance, the brand sought to explore the intersection of fashion and contemporary culture, particularly focusing on the growing discourse around psychedelia and consciousness exploration. The decision to name the piece "Ketamine" was bold, aiming to spark conversations and evoke emotions.
The Concept: The Ketamine Jerseys were envisioned as a fusion of streetwear aesthetics with surrealistic motifs. The design team meticulously crafted each jersey, incorporating intricate patterns reminiscent of kaleidoscopic visions often associated with the psychedelic experience. The color palette was tame for the theme but still captured the essence of altered states of consciousness. The choice of the name "Ketamine" was deliberate, intending to challenge societal perceptions and provoke introspection.
Marketing Strategy: Tears of Dreams leveraged a multi-faceted marketing strategy to generate buzz around the Ketamine Jerseys. Keep in mind that this was a restock for a previously released item. So they had extensive marketing content from the previous drop as well as UGC from influencers and customers that could be used for social proof. Teaser campaigns were launched on social media platforms, featuring enigmatic images and cryptic messages that piqued curiosity among followers. Some micro influencers within the fashion and subculture scenes were strategically enlisted to endorse the jerseys, amplifying its reach to diverse demographics. Additionally, the brand organized a pop up New York where it sold 200 samples of the jersey in under 30 minutes while collecting emails and build up hype for the online release, allowing enthusiasts to experience the jerseys firsthand and fostering a sense of anticipation.
We had also been running lead ads collecting up to 7000 emails before drop day.
