1
We're in Soho, the heart of New York City's fashion district, where Abercrombie is unveiling a new store concept.
2
Let's go inside and check it out.
3
Opened in early June, the new 10,000 square foot space is a departure from the heydays of the 2000s,
4
when the stores were infamous for loud music and low lighting.
5
One of the biggest pain points that customers have is when they're shopping online, they go into a store, but the same merchandise isn't available.
6
So what Abercrombie did here is they expanded into a much larger location.
7
That allows them to carry a broader assortment so shoppers can go online and actually find the same stuff in the store.
8
We heard from our customer they want the in-store experience.
9
It showcases the brand's 130-year history as well as what Abercrombie is today and where we want to go into the future.
10
The company grew annual sales by over 98% between 2020 and 2024.
11
But in the most recent fiscal year, sales dropped.
12
And now its stock is down about 30% year-to-date.
13
To make sure it can keep growing sales and acquiring new customers, it's expanding into third-party accessories like Sperry and Hunter,
14
and of course highlighting its own brand as well.
15
In some ways, the company is taking a page out of rival Aritzia's playbook in its decision to add outside brands.
16
The Canadian fashion brand has long offered external footwear brands in its stores and online.
17
During its most recent fisc
18
grew 35% with comps up 27% part of the reason Aritzia successful is because they of stayed top of mind,
19
s relevant for that consumer trying to do the same thing continued relevance relevance.
20
This is the first time that we're carrying footwear, full sunglasses and handbags, all in a dedicated space in an Abercrombie store.
21
So here we have our own branded footwear, but we're also bringing in other brands that are very relevant to our customer and what they're looking for.
22
Since partnering with Sperry in April, Abercrombie has since expanded and is now selling shoes from Puma, Fry, Hunter, and GH Bass.
23
going to learn a lot from these in terms of what our customer is gravitating towards.
24
We've seen other companies do this.
25
Urban Outfitters is one where they stand out in the sense that they do have their own brands.
26
They're more of a balanced mix of own brand and third-party brands.
27
They have Vans, they have Nike, they have Ugg, and I think they realize that particularly for their customer, people look for brands in that category.
28
They don't want the private label, they want the brands that they recognize.
29
So I think that may be where Abercrombie kind of sees this opportunity to say we have a young female consumer, you have Foot Locker, you have JD, they tend to ski more male,
30
where else can they shop for a variety of brands?
31
Let's at least offer them the brands that they're shopping all in one place
32
because no one else is really doing that outside of a company like Genesco and a little bit Urban Outfitters.
33
For now, the only place Abercrombie is offering all of the brands together is at this new store.
34
But based on how the release performs, they could could be expanded to more stores and online in the future.
35
I think that this is a strategic move on their part to bring in a like-minded customer, a customer who has potential to shop the brand,
36
maybe isn't already, and now will be introduced to the brand that way.
37
Overall, category expansion will be one of the keys to Abercrombie's next chapter of growth.

影子跟讀法(shadowspeak)分步指南

影子跟讀法是提升英語發音與口語流暢度的有效方法。針對本段影片,可按以下步驟練習:

步驟1:拆分片段

將影片按內容分為“門店轉型”“品牌合作”“未來規劃”等小段,每段30秒左右。逐段播放,暫停後重復跟讀,重點關注連讀與語調,如“take a page out of”中的連讀現象。

步驟2:模仿語氣

影片中主持人的語氣客觀且富有分析性,跟讀時需模仿其節奏與重音。例如,讀到“sales dropped 30%”時,加重“30%”以突出資料變化,這對提高英語發音的準確性至關重要。

步驟3:複述核心資訊

跟讀完成後,用自己的話複述每段核心內容,如“Abercrombie通過引入第三方品牌吸引新顧客”。這一步可強化語言組織能力,適合雅思口語練習。

步驟4:對比修正

錄製自己的跟讀音訊,與原影片對比,找出發音與節奏的差異。針對“gravitate”等難詞,反覆練習直至發音標準。堅持影子跟讀法(shadowspeaks),可顯著提升口語流暢度。

通過以上步驟,學習者既能掌握商業英語表達,又能借助影子跟讀法夯實口語基礎,實現語言能力的全面提升。

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
