You are to define each of the factors your VP of Marketing asked you to review analyze how your Company`s products respond to changes in those factors, then defend your position in terms of the current market(s) for the product.

Company is Burberry or Coach

You need to consider the ways in which the market for your designer`s/brand`s products/goods are segmented. The key to building a case for or against what your designer/brand is doing is to present the market structure for the products/goods your designer/brand sells including how that market is segmented, the target markets served, and who competes in those markets.

If you define the target market based on demographic, socio-psychographic, and/or geographic factors; be careful to cite substantial differences in behavior (clothing chosen) of shoppers by age, income, gender, marital status, and family life style. If you don`t define the target market based on demographic, socio-psychographic, and/or geographic factors; you need to explain why those factors are not applicable for your designer/brand.

What is the socio-economic class of the buyer of your clothing? In other words, in terms of the marketing environment for clothing, you need to comment on the current socio-economic environment.

Is that buyer affected by swings in the economy?

Is there competition for your current, potential, or prospective buyers` business? If so, how competitive is it, out there? In other words, you also need to consider the ease with which competitors can duplicate your products (goods), your methods and content of promotion, your methods of distribution, and your prices.

Is the buyer/wearer:

A Man or Woman
A child or adult
Big or small
Short or tall
Need Slim or regular or husky
Need Pleats or no pleats

Does the buyer want cotton, wool, blend, polyester, microfiber?
