SWOT Ann Taylor


SWOT Ann Taylor

Strengths – Strong brand identity and heritage. Well established within the USA. They have had well known celebrity endorsers and faces of the brand. They promote confident and style. They have an iconic style that is tailored for the modern working woman and that is always evolving to meet her changing aspirations and roles.

Weakness- The brand has a fixed image in people’s minds that would be hard to change. It is a very American brand that focuses on the classic American style (this may be tricky for the UK market as the styles are very different).

Opportunities- The brand Ann Taylor has the option of branching out to other countries (as they are thinking of doing in the UK). They could increase their market range possibly introducing some lower priced items as entry-level products.

Threats- If Ann Taylor were to expand to other countries (i.e. the UK) they would be entering a much more competitive market, with different style tastes and shopping habits.

Possible SWOT for the Ann Taylor brand, is this ok ??
