[edit] Target Market

  • Women aged 18-35
  • Live alone or with roommates and have no dependents
  • Household income of $24,000 or higher with a high percentage of disposable income
  • Intelligent, stylish, and interested in the latest trends
  • Loves to shop, has her own personal style
  • Mixes luxury items and bargains in her day-to-day life

Although the target age is 18-35, SMART Magazine states that it's not about the age as much as the lifestyle of the person. They target the woman "who wants to be fashionable, know what's going on around town, and capitalize on Hawaii's unique style."
