POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS

POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS:


1. Victoria's Secret Curve Range - plus sized models are used within this range as well as plus sizes for ladies who want to shop at the brand but cannot due to their sizes not being sold.

2. Collaboration with Lane Bryant - they use plus sized women and promote equality, Lane Bryant could use more publicity as they aren't a hugely known brand, and Victoria's Secret could use the 'new name' of being an equal and fair brand who sends out good messages about body image.


3. Collaboration with SAVAGE X FENTY - SAVAGE X FENTY is a very inclusive, fair and all round equal brand, they use models of all different races and all different sizes as well to show everyone is beautiful in their own skin, this is the point of this brand so would be a good brand to collaborate with as they already have the respect from the public eye and this could be pushed onto Victoria's Secret as well.


4. Sustainability - the consumers could bring in a bag of old clothes/textile products that they no longer want to be recycled by the brand, in return they will get a £5 voucher of their next purchase if they spend X amount, this will encourage members of the public to bring in these bags of products so they can get money off their shop, the brand can then recycle the items and reuse them to make their own products, these products the are made of the recycled materials will have a label on, campaign photos and a name so that it is made obvious to the public eye that they are becoming sustainable.

5. An App - the brand could create a mobile app, this would make it easier and more likely for people to shop on the site, 54% of people shop on apps on their phone rather than online on a computer or in a store, so it is vital that Victoria's Secret get up to date with the latest technology in order to bring in more business into the brand.

6. Fashion Shows - the brand should include plus sized models in the fashion shows and just all models of different sizes to increase view rates back up, 2018 was their least successful year for view rates on their fashion shows and if they were to include equality and diversity within their shows people may watch them again as they would gain more respect for them, the would see Victoria's Secret as an unequal brand because they have all of these brands to compare it to who have good morals such as SAVAGE X FENTY and Lane Bryant.

FINAL BRAND POSITIONING MAP

Victoria’s Secret’s top competitors as of January 2019 are Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan New York, and all three just like Victoria’s Secret, work in the Systems Software Industry, which is a type of computer programmer that is used to run a computer’s applications. In addition, as found in some primary research that has been conducted of an Instagram Poll. There are also many other brands that are competitors of Victoria’s Secret. For example, Ann Summers, Boux Avenue, Primark and H&M. There are a large amount of competitors that consumers would lean towards rather than Victoria’s Secret because they are cheaper, better quality and have better ethics/morals and therefore customers have more respect for those brands. Even though Victoria’s Secret is a successful business, alternative brands have many features buyers worship that Victoria’s Secret do not have, resulting in a loss of sales for the company. 

MY OWN SWOT ANALYSIS

MY OWN SWOT ANALYSIS: Strengths: Even though Victoria’s Secret has many issues that members of the public have picked up on and are offended by, the brand also includes many strengths. Some of the Strengths of Victoria’s Secret are: First, the brand uses some powerful influencers as ambassadors and models in order to entice members of the public to buying their products, such as: Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. Also, the company is very active on their online marketing. They are constantly posting on their Instagram page and updating their consumers with activity taking place within the company such as new releases on social media platforms such as Twitter and even emailing. Next, he company uses organic and fare trade raw materials making them sustainable. Finally, the company also uses television adverts which is a positive for those who do not follow their social medias, they have good brand strategies in order to entice members of the public into their brand.  ...

BRAND POSITIONING MAP

This is my brand positioning map/first attempt of the one I will be submitting; I may add/change some of the brand around once even more research has been conducted. The points I decided to go for in this brand positioning map is 'HIGH PRICE', 'LOW PRICE', 'HIGH QUALITY' AND 'LOW QUALITY'. I believe these are good points as it shows if the price of the products matches up to the quality and portrays whether you actually get for what you pay for. These brands on the map are all of different levels of quality and price and I have placed them according to where I believe they should go.
