Introduction
Dune London is London born, globally worn.
As an international brand, it is essential that there is global consistency across all Dune London marketing communications. This maximises brand recall and ensures our customer has a premium experience of the brand wherever they are in the world.
These Brand Communication Guidelines provide regional Franchise teams the creative direction and guiding principles for all core marketing channels and formats that are appropriate for the Dune London brand.
These guidelines only cover ways of working and marketing materials that are evergreen and not related to any specific season or campaign. They will however be reviewed regularly, updates will be made as the brand evolves but partners will be notified by Dune Marketing of any significant changes when they come into effect.
Please note that all brand tools and creative materials referenced in these guidelines are available on the Marketing section of Duniverse.

Dune Marketing must be consulted before adopting any marketing channels or creative that are not provided for by the brand or covered in brand guidelines. Marketing Resource The Franchisee is required to appoint responsibility for all marketing activity to a dedicated Marketing Manager, in-house or agency Marketing team, or to the Brand Manager as an essential part of their role. The Marketing Manager or team must communicate regularly with Dune Marketing to collaboratively plan and execute all local marketing activity. The Franchisee is also expected to have access to a local graphic design resource to produce artwork to a professional standard and in line with brand guidelines. Marketing Budget On a quarterly basis, or as requested, the Franchisee is required to submit an annual Marketing Budget using the template provided by Dune Marketing. All Franchise partners are responsible for ensuring local marketing spend is in line with agreed contract minimums. Evidence of expenditure may be requested ad hoc to corroborate budget reports.

The Franchisee is expected to execute a PR launch each season targeting local press and influencers. At a minimum this should include dispatching a press pack to the relevant audience, supplying imagery and samples as required to secure coverage.

Press gifts and samples are available to purchase but the Franchisee is responsible for adhering to the order deadlines outlined by Dune Marketing and Buyers.

Promotions
This tool kit provides communication and creative guidelines for the types of promotions supported by The Dune Group.

PROMOTIONS • COMMUNICATION GUIDELINES
Promotion Communication Guidelines
The Dune Group supports the following types of promotion:
1. Discount Promotions Where a discount is applied to the retail price, either as money off or a percentage off the original price , or a cash back /cash rebate offer. Discounts should only be used as a tactic to help clear slow-moving stock at a better margin than a main markdown period, or to capitalise on anticipated high footfall in the location. Discounts lower the profit margin so must be approved by Dune Merchandising. 2. Added Value Promotions Offering something of added value in exchange for a full price purchase to incentivise customers to buy from Dune London instead of from competition. There are various options to choose from but the mechanic must reflect the objective of the activity. Incentives protect profit margin whilst boosting sales but must be approved by Dune Marketing. It is the Franchise partner’s responsibility to: • Notify Dune Merchandising and Dune Marketing of all promotions. • Select the appropriate promotion mechanic to support objectives. • Fund, artwork and produce all collateral as per brand guidelines. • Ensure there is sufficient stock for planned and reactivepromotions. • Communicate and honour all terms & conditions in line with local legislation.
