2. While some shoe brands are fleeting, the Hush Puppies brand hit the
ground running in 1958. It has the distinction of being the world’s
first casual shoe.
The oddly named brand originated from a Southern food (fried corn
fritters) called “hush puppies.”
History
A company salesman discovered that farmers also used these hush
puppies to quiet barking dogs. At the time, tired feet were known as
‘barking dogs’ and the salesman reasoned that his soft, lightweight
comfortable shoes could quiet them, too.” Hush Puppies became the
shoe’s trademarked name in 1958. Hush Puppies shoes were
distinguished by their casual look of brushed suede and a crepe sole.
Apparently the style was a good match for the late ’50s.

4. The company wants the target audience to
notice that the brand really provides the
features it promises on the commercial despite
anything else. The company expects that the
clients really feel that the Hush Puppies shoes
provide comfort and relaxation just by wearing
them, because those characteristics are
invaluable. Our ad agency’s strategy to achieve
this objective could be the fact of showing a
man wearing its shoes in a relaxed environment,
in which clients feel themselves as if they fit in
the same situation.
5. To give our ad the best chance of getting the results you want, there are
some important things we must do:
1. We will state what your unique competitive advantage is
2. We will create a compelling, attention-grabbing headline
3. We will offer an irresistible bargain
4. We will explain the benefits of your product or service—listing benefits
is more important than listing features
5. We will make our ad an advertorial—people read news articles 7 times
more than advertisements
6. We will offer a risk-free guarantee for doing business with you
7. We will create a call-to-action that will trigger a response

10. We will use exciting graphics that correlate with your headline
In addition we believe that if we give our customer more than they are
expecting, they will be satisfy and loyal to us.
6. To impress target Audience:
Hush Puppies’ target audience is men and women between 20
and 40 years old, belonging to classes between C+ and A+. The
target audience for the shoes can be described as people who
seek comfort. Women should be natural, mature, free, relaxed
and simple. More exclusively, the target market should be
people who worried about their surroundings and people that
like to feel comfortable with themselves and with the
environment. People who project a successful social and
familiar life, and that in addition enjoy the feeling of being
comfortable in their daily lives. Their Shoes or clothes should
be comfortable ( physically and psychologically) before
anything else. Hush Puppies understand this. They target
people who are prudent. Lots of brands can learn from the
7. To beat competitors:
Hush Puppies has been competing with other international brands
for world market directly and indirectly . ECCO, CLARKS,
TIMBERLAND, direct competitors who focus on casual footwear
ranked on the same class, are the main competitors. Some famous
athletic brands such as NIKE, ADDIDAS, and NEW BALANCE
turn to be the indirect competitors by developing new product line of
casual footwear as well. Beside these BATA, APEX, BAY
EMPORIUM are competitors in the perspective of Bangladesh. All
competitors are taking intensive marketing actions for their
expansion to the rest of the world. That’s why by analyzing their
advertisements we are planning and taking strong advertising
policies to beat these competitor brands.
