基于4I理论的Jellycat品牌营销策略分析
Analysis of Jellycat’s Brand Marketing Strategy Based on the 4I Theory

在消费升级与数字化浪潮的推动下，中国消费市场正从“功能满足”向“情感共鸣”转型。Jellycat作为英国高端毛绒玩具品牌，凭借其独特的设计和情感营销策略，成功打破了“毛绒玩具 = 低龄消费品”的传统认知，成为成年消费者的“情感代偿物”。文章基于4I理论(趣味原则、互动原则、利益原则、个性原则)，深入分析了Jellycat的营销策略，探讨了其在社交货币创造、稀缺性构建、沉浸式体验和精准触达等方面的成功经验。同时，指出Jellycat在品牌曝光度、本土化策略和数字营销方面的不足，并提出了相应的优化措施，旨在为Jellycat及其他同类品牌提供营销策略的借鉴与启示。
Driven by consumption upgrading and digitalization, China’s consumer market is transforming from “functional satisfaction” to “emotional resonance”. As a British high-end plush toy brand, Jellycat has successfully broken the traditional perception of “plush toys = young consumer goods” with its unique design and emotional marketing strategy, and has become an “emotional compensator” for adult consumers. Based on the 4I theory (Fun Principle, Interaction Principle, Interest Principle, and Personality Principle), this paper deeply analyzes Jellycat’s marketing strategy, and discusses its successful experience in social currency creation, scarcity construction, immersive experience, and precise reach. At the same time, the shortcomings of Jellycat in brand exposure, localization strategy and digital marketing are pointed out, and corresponding optimization measures are proposed, aiming to provide reference and inspiration for Jellycat and other similar brands in marketing strategies.
