Company Name Company Logo
Executive Summary
Lulu for Betsey is a little girls line, ages 3 to 10. We wanted
to produce a line as an extension to Betsey Johnson because
we wanted little girls to look just as fabulous as their
mother’s. We are introducing a Spring/Summer 2012 beach
line as our initial launch, naming it Lulu Loves You. Our
products will be sold at specific Betsey Johnson locations
on the West Coast and gradually move to East Coast
locations. The basis of our line and company name, Lulu,
represents Betsey Johnson’s daughter. We wanted our line to
be fun, whimsical, sassy and encompass the true attitude of
Betsey. We want little girls to express their fun personality just
like their mommy does at Betsey Johnson. They twirl in their
tutu’s and shake their ruffles as they jump and laugh at home, on
the beach, or even on the streets.
COMPANY DESCRIP T ION
Company History
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y., October 8, 2010 -- Betsey Johnson LLC (the
“Company”), the iconic design and retail business, and Steven Madden, Ltd.
(“Steve Madden”) have entered into a Restructuring Agreement whereby, in
consideration of the elimination of amounts owed to Steve Madden under
the Company’s outstanding debt, Steve Madden acquired (i) the trademarks
and intellectual property of the Company and (ii) a 10% equity interest in the
Company.
Steve Madden is a vertically integrated company and so is Betsey Johnson.
Betsey Johnson LLC will continue growing and expanding with plans to open
6-8 stores in 2010, doubling the retail chain to 100 stores operating in 22
states by the year 2012.
We will be adding to the expansion of Betsey Johnson under Steve Madden
by offering our new line Lulu for Betsey in key Betsey Johnson stores.

MARKET ANALYSIS
Consumer
Lulu for Betsey’s primary demographic are the
eccentric mothers of the little girls who are loyal
consumers of Betsey Johnson. These Innovators and
Experiencers make around $60k to $100k plus. The
primary age bracket who shops at Betsey Johnson are
from the ages of 18 to 34. The secondary ages range
from 35 to 49 years old. These two demographics fit into
the consumer of Lulu for Betsey perfectly because our
primary demographic are the mothers that already shop
at Betsey Johnson. Our mothers range from 24 to 40
years old and can afford the designer wear for their
daughters.
VALS Type for Mothers
Innovators
“Image is important, not as evidence of
status or power but as an expression of
their taste, independence, and
personality.”

Experiencers
“Motivated by self-expression. They
seek variety and excitement, savoring the
new, the offbeat, and the risky.”
