INTRODUCTION
BRAND IDENTITY
innovation technology quality durability
UNIQLO SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGHTS
in Japan, the home town of the brand, Uniqlo is one of the leading clothing retailer in terms of sales and profit operates in 15 countries worldwide strong international presence big product diversification in both female and male and children sectors large amount of stores (over 1,400 stores in 16 markets worldwide) huge workforce (over 30.000 employees) good quality with a reasonable price well trained staff in the stores charity initiatives, recycle of clothing and donation to refugees
WEAKNESSES basic style of the garments, plain design that sometimes lacks of fashion awareness lack of effective marketing and PR campaign to promote the brand (e.g. used celebrity endorsement just once in 2014, a collaboration with Pharrel Williams) production still based on the four season cycle lack of brand awareness because of weak advertising
OPPORTUNITIES create a more exciting style, more fashionable and less basic Uniqlo has already a good brand image so it can leverage it by increasing marketing and PR strategies (e.g.: viral advertising, celebrities endorsement, use social media to promote themselves etc…) expand in new countries insta-season: the brand should create collections that don’t stick to specific seasons anymore as they have stores in different countries with different weather conditions
THREATS intense competition in the market (e.g. Tesco, M&S, John Lewis etc…) fast fashion competitors producing more fashionable clothing with cheap prices (e.g. H&M, Forever 21, Zara etc…)
