In recent years, the landscape of retail has been redefined by the quick development of e-commerce, with digital marketing acting as the key of success. SHEIN, recognized for its rapid growth in the online fashion industry, stands as a model of innovative digital marketing strategies. In this paper, I explore SHEINs strategies by utilizing the 4P marketing framework Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. This study uses qualitative content analysis of SHEIN's digital marketing materials, such as social media advertisements, and influencer collaborations. Based on these information on various platforms, I examine how SHEIN strategically utilize these elements to engage its target market and attract more consumers. First, I examine four aspects through 4P model one by one and analyze how they affect consumer behavior and brand awareness. Furthermore, I compare each strategy with the features of Generation Z to identify how SHEIN attract new consumers. Finally, I found that SHEIN focuses more on promotion than other three aspects, which takes preferences and behaviors of Generation Z into consider. These strategies reinforce SHEINs position in the competitive e-commerce market.

This paper addresses the critical issue of sustainability within the fast-paced fashion industry, characterized by overconsumption and waste. We propose an innovative solution, the Slow Low Fashion app, which leverages advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology to analyze users' body measurements, providing personalized, gender-inclusive clothing recommendations [4]. This approach aims to minimize overconsumption and reduce the environmental footprint by encouraging more thoughtful purchasing decisions. The core technologies of our program include AI for body ratio analysis, a secure and privacy-compliant data handling framework, and an intuitive user interface designed to enhance user experience. Despite challenges such as ensuring the accuracy of body measurements and maintaining data privacy, we addressed these through rigorous testing and implementing encryption protocols. Experimentation across diverse user scenarios demonstrated the app's effectiveness in reducing unnecessary purchases and promoting sustainability. The significant reduction in clothing waste and increased user satisfaction highlight the potential of Slow Low Fashion as a tool for promoting sustainable fashion consumption. Our project underscores the necessity and feasibility of integrating technology and personalization in addressing the environmental challenges posed by the fashion industry.
