The store will be located at SMS Mall of Asia. The Philippines is considered as one of the Asian countries with a burgeoning middle class.The rise in status of a significant number of Filipinos was a result of improvement in economic conditions, booming business process outsourcing, and increasing remittances from overseas Filipino workers. With higher disposable incomes, this emerging group increased their consumption as well as changing their purchasing patterns and brand preferences, which resulted in stronger volume and value growth for apparel in 2011. Apparel sales are driven by economic conditions, demographic trends, and pricing. Fashion, while important for an individual company, plays a limited role in overall market demand.
With varied positioning, department stores continued to gain popularity as a destination to purchase clothing and footwear in 2011. Consumers favored the distribution channel because of the complete range of apparel products available in a single location, as well as the wide selection of private, and imported and local brands. Based on these, Dernier Crib will ensure good presence through concession outlets inside department stores to improve accessibility of our brands and increase sales. Market Segmentation Demographic Segment: The latest National Statistics Office Survey shows that National Capital Region has a population of 11,855,975.It is a great number of people living in a Region and it is expected to double over a couple of years.
Table shows the projected population growth every 5 years and it is segmented by gender. Closest to the latest data from the INS is the highlighted area in the table of projection. This population increase will also have an effect on people's basic needs like food and shelter. Clothing is also considered since it is a basic need. And because of this growth, also the increase of potential customers is likely to be observed.However, it's become more difficult to draw a line between wholesalers and retailers; most Apparel companies now have both types of operations.
The Philippine apparel industry is large, mature, and highly fragmented. Apparel sold in the country is produced both domestically and in foreign locations, tiers; can be subdivided into two the national brand and other apparel. Wholesale business is what separates Apparel companies from those in the Retail (Special Lines) category. Apparel companies design and produce/source items that they sell to retailers, including department stores, specialty shops and discounters. Often, a company owns licenses to manufacture goods under particular brand names, and will market and advertise these lines.One license can cover many products.
In some instances, an Apparel many may only have the rights to produce specific items under a brand, such as ties and shirts, but not pants or sleepwear. Production is often outsourced to developing countries, where labor costs are inexpensive, relative to those of the United States and Europe. The wholesale market is seasonal. Retailers stock up on merchandise before shoppers hit the stores during the peak back-to-school and quality, style or value, are popular among shoppers. A clothing company possessing a broad line-up of well-known brands has a competitive advantage over its peers.
This is not always the case, however.In tough economic times, consumers might turn to similar private-label goods to save money. Private-label goods are found in department stores and discount chains. Though they are less expensive than branded items, such goods are often more profitable for the seller. Brand-name items and private-label goods compete against each other for shelf space throughout the business cycle. Because of the seasonal nature of the wholesale market, it's better to compare sales on a year-to-year, rather than sequential-quarter, basis.
Gross and operating margins are the best gauges of a company's health. Sales illume, supply chain efficiency, sourcing costs, and selling, general and administrative (SO&A) expenses determine profitability.There are a number of reasons why Apparel companies establish retail divisions. Having stores dedicated to a single brand gives a company control over a line's image and identity. Apparel companies have some control over branding and merchandising at department stores, and their influence is diluted further at the boutique level.
Dedicated retail stores allow a company to highlight its own merchandise, without worrying about competing labels. Retail stores are typically more profitable than their wholesale return. By selling its own merchandise at retail, an Apparel company can cut out the middle man and increase profits. However, this strategy can be risky.
Instead of just designing and producing clothes and filling wholesale orders, companies with retail operations also have to find store locations with good potential, manage inventory, and avoid big markdowns. The Internet is another important platform for retailers, especially since consumers are increasingly Web-savvy and have access virtually anywhere. Shoppers want to quickly find what they are looking for on line, and demand fast processing and shipping. Direct sales via the Internet can be a boon to a company. These sales do not entail expensive storefronts and related staffing and, thus, are more profitable than traditional business.
As a whole, the Apparel Industry is fragmented and highly competitive. There are a number of major players, but there are also countless niche stores and private companies that cater to specific demographics.Too, general merchandisers and foreign companies bring more competition to the sector. Consequently, Apparel companies need to be nimble and highly efficient to survive in this cutthroat industry.
Having the right product is also essential. Fashion trends change frequently, and companies need to adapt to varying consumer tastes quickly. Apparel stocks are economically sensitive. Although clothing is a basic need, people have wide discretion as to when they update their wardrobes and how much they spend.
When times are good, apparel sales are usually brisk, but during periods of economic uncertainty and contraction, clothing is an area where people can easily trim outlays.SOOT ANALYSIS STRENGTHS I WEAKNESSES I * Demand Driven Industry * Strong presence in local market * The economy is teddy growth, which will ensure stable demand and consumption * Qualified shopping as a past-time I *Low labor costs dependency * Slow customer growth * Danger of complacency by businesses * Decreasing growth of designers with reputation * Specialization in clothing * The clothing market has managements I OPPORTUNITIES I THREATS I * Globalization * Improve green environmental production * Specialization in clothing * Massive opportunity to develop internet shopping for clothing * Product Differentiation * Vertical Integration I * New entrants * Intensity of rivalry mongo competing firms * Dominance of large businesses over small firms * Downward pressure on price and upward pressure on rents and rates * Higher costs in labor and transport I 'V.
