So every day we want to inspire creativity, to support all movements, and to make the American dream come true again, and again, and again.

Notas do Editor
- Hey welcome to the Levi’s team!
- The facts
- Current target
- This definition really resonates with our target market, who are…
- We originally took off because of those functional benefits, mainly durability.
- And we’ve stuck around because of the emotional benefits
- The brand identity communicates values and resonates as a personality
- Which all define us to our audience. This is who we really are.
- And our consumers find that we meet their expectations with competitive advantages
- We have really diversified our product and prices over the years
- And the price is right! We’ve got something for everyone and we’re not too cheap or too expensive.
- There are also uncertainties in the market and many factors that can negatively influence sales.Sources: http://academic.mintel.com/display/640848/ http://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/despite-denials-levis-still-producing-at-sl-garment-factory-47389/ http://www.thenation.com/article/161057/wikileaks-haiti-let-them-live-3-day# http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2012/12/greenpeace_mannequins_protest.phphttp://www.intracen.org/itc/publications/publications-catalogue/?taxid=2270
- We also have a lot of competition
- And when Levi’s has previously thought about overcoming the competition by diversifying, it has lost sight of its brand, or it’s already been done.
- Things we considered but didn’t go with
- Additionally, as you can see, the denim market is very crowded
- Very very crowded.
- But Levi’s does have a huge opportunity in the urban market!
- This consumer has been left out of the strategy for many brands of Levi’s size, but this is perfect for this all American brand.Sources: http://s3.amazonaws.com/thearf-org-aux-assets/downloads/cnc/multicultural/2007-02-07_ARF_Multicultural_OMobolade.pdfhttp://academic.mintel.com/display/637776/ http://academic.mintel.com/display/640861/
- Urban target
- So we recommend Levi’s build on their legacy by reaching a new market, which will double as a differentiation strategy for them. It’s a win win!
- What do you think?
