Background on Snooki.  Snooki, as the TV character on Jersey Shore has mellowed. She no longer devotes her life to partying.  She’s still wildly entertaining and popular but in a broader, more traditional sense, and her second MTV hit series (now filming Season 2) features her new baby boy and fiancé, making for more traditional reality TV fare.  

We are coming to you with the new and improved Snooki.

She is over 7 million Face Book and Twitter fans, appears on a couple dozen talk show appearances annually, and has hundreds of website and magazine features.  With an audience bigger than the Kardashians, I submit Snooki is ripe for all categories.  Her Bebe fashion endorsement earlier this year led to a sell-out of the dress she wore, and she made a stunning appearance at Spring New York Fashion Week.

Snooki’s brand is already a big success after just a few months of my work with her.  Her design look of hot animal print with bright colors is trending, and she's an influence on many of today’s top brands.

 

In beauty, the current Snooki fragrance is Snooki by Nicole Polizzi. It's the #1 top-selling full-price brand at all Perfumania stores nationally year to date, and it debuted at Kmart and a half dozen other retailers several weeks ago. The new Snooki fragrance, called Snooki Couture by Nicole Polizzi, unveiled on HSN during Snooki's 3rd special November 7, 2012 telecast was a sell out!

The new fragrance is at all Perfumania doors will expand to mid-tier and mass in Spring 2013. Also in Snooki's new beauty offering (but not pictured here) are Snooki-branded nail polish (featuring her Snookilicious-scented clear-tone polish base), nail decals and press-on nails.

These snooktacular products are represented in gorgeous color stories, packaging and displays, and they will also be unveiled on the HSN telecast then expand to all Perfumania doors and go wide in Spring 2013.

This memo provides a snapshot of just some of the relevant information pertaining to Snooki’s brand program at retail. In terms of current media exposure for Snooki, she’s got close to seven million Twitter Followers, over six million Facebook Likes and over 40 million Instagram Likes.  Her current MTV series starts filming Season 3 in weeks, and we have the opportunity to feature licensed products in the series.  Her national media profile continues to be staggering and her website newly hosted by a major Hollywood media empire attracts over 1.5 million unique monthly visitors. 

 

  • Tanning products.  Snooki’s is the country’s #1 tanning brand at thousands of professional tanning salons exclusively.  The product line comprises indoor tanning products and sunless tanning products, about a dozen SKUs.  Another new collection will be launched this Fall at the annual tanning convention in Nashville. 

 

  • Fashion headphones.  This product line along with fashion earbuds and iPhone cases launches at 5,000 Walgreens September.  Snooki was the #1 national consumer media story at the CES electronics show in Vegas early this year and early last year, first announcing and then debuting this product.  The product actually doubles as headphones and connecting headband hair accessories.

 

  • Fragrance.  The first two fragrance products–Snooki and Snooki Couture—launched at all Perfumania doors then expanded to all of Kmart, Ross, Burlington, Steinmart, ShopKo, K&G, Gordmans, Bealls and Loehmann’s.  Performance has been strong.  Holiday 2012 and through Spring 2013 the fragrance was the #1 selling gift set at Kmart.  Several additional retailers will be carrying the product shortly.

 

  • Nails products.  When we made our fragrance deal with Five Star (part of the same corporate group that handles fragrance programs for Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Rihanna) insisted contractually in securing rights to nails products when we signed with them for Snooki’s fragrance program.  As it turns out, they have no sales and distribution expertise or track record whatsoever, they sold Snooki Couture nail polishes and press-ons only at Perfumania because they own and control Perfumania and they have not had any traction at all with other retailers because they admittedly have no relationships with retail buyers.  In this category they were supposed to bring on a nails products sales team with expertise and a track record but they ultimately never found the right opportunity.  At my request they have agreed Snooki now controls all rights to nails products.

 

  • Jewelry.  I attach just some of the countless recent stories, as of a couple months ago.  On Snooki’s jewelry program, contractually, Snooki’s rights are available.  We made just a test online deal in jewelry, with the company involved and we are now negotiating terms for retail, we’ve put “the brakes” on those discussions pending our discussions with Alma for the three product categories.

 

  • Ecommerce.  In addition to brick-and-mortar retail, with the 1.5 million unique monthly visitors on Snooki’s newly hosted website, there’s opportunity to sell plenty of beauty products on her own site.  This Summer we launch the first professionally fulfilled, common shopping basket ecommerce initiative on Snooki’s newly hosted site, focusing principally on all the super successful licensed product categories currently at market. 

 

  • Media promotion.  Snooki will support and promote her categories to millions and millions of consumers through countless national media interviews throughout each year and retail appearances where requested.  She’ll wear the products on her hit MTV series and on TV interviews and other promotional appearances, and she’ll feature all these products in her gigantic social media franchise.  She’ll also attend trade shows and conventions where requested.

 

Snooki: From Jersey Shore to Beverly Hills

by Alison A. Nieder


Snooki says these sunglasses block the sun and haters.

Hey LA fashion watchers—add Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi to your list of West Coast designers.

The pint-sized scene stealer from MTV reality show “Jersey Shore” and “Snooki & Jwoww” is gearing up to launch her Snooki Couture by Nicole Polizzi brand through a partnership with Beverly Hills-based brand licensing agent Robert Thorne and his associate Sherwin Ross.

Think Snooki Couture activewear, sportswear, sleepwear, underwear, outerwear, swimwear, headwear, handbags, footwear, small leather goods and more, according to Thorne and Ross.

There’s already Snooki Couture by Nicole Polizzi brand fragrance, sunglasses and slippers and lipsticks. Snooki nail products, jewelry, hair accessories and headphones are in work.

Last year, Polizzi’s Snooki-brand products sold out on HSN and come Nov. 7, she’s returning to the home shopping network for another two-hour special.


Snooki says wearing these slippers is like walking on a cloud.

 

“Everyone knows me as a girl who loves fashion, everything about fashion, and I’ve been building my brand starting with beauty products and certain accessories I feel great about,” Polizzi said, in a company release. “ I want to introduce fashion that women will love and can afford and I’m going to spend a lot of time in designing my apparel and accessories to be cute, well made and something we girls can feel great wearing. You can bet you’ll see me wearing everything I design.”

For more information, contact Sherwin "Ace" Ross at (213) 884-8448, ace@aceross.com or www.aceross.com.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi showed off a very different look when she was spotted at her first public appearance since giving birth to baby Lorenzo in early September. Until now, Snooki had only given us a few shots from home via Twitter.

The ex-party girl looked, dare we say mature with her flawless makeup and flowing hair. Of course, Snooki’s sky-high heels, the long nails and the tanned skin remind us that she hasn’t entirely ditched her trademark “Jersey Shore” persona.

Appropriately, the working mom was in Nashville to launch her new sunless tanning collection “’Snooki’ by Nicole Polizzi for Supre Tan” on Saturday. It was the self-proclaimed guidette’s first trip away from the baby and her first public appearance since his birth.

A spy told us that Snooki was feeling uneasy about leaving her baby for the first time. “She missed him terribly and literally checked in on him every few minutes.”

Seems like Snooki is really taking parenting seriously. Page Six reported that she skipped a “Jersey Shore” final season premiere party in early Sept. to instead stay home with Lorenzo.
