Situation
Analysis

Situation Analysis

15


Levi Strauss and Company is approaching to the saturation of Jean Market. The fast
changes in the consumer tastes, competition from both lower and high-end brands,
the fast development in the modern distribution and sales technology has brought a
continuous lose of market share.

A new series of Engineered Jeans has been developed and launched as part of
program intending to meet the needs of their major target, in order to regain lost
marker share and maintain their position the industry. Their expertise in Jeans and
causal dress industry will be fully exploited at world basis.

This year, they intended to strengthen the promotion of this new brand. Certain
resources will be allocated to their existing brands, to maintain market share of 501,
enlarge market share of Dockers and slates. Communication with their customers is
important for us. They will also improve their relation with them, and track the
changes in the taste and need of their main target market. Information system will
also be improved to enhance their ability to adapt the market change.

On the other side in the Pakistan Levi Strauss & Co is facing few problems. Here due
to decrease n the income level of the people people are not in this condition to buy
high priced products of Levi Strauss & Co. Other issue is that the local manufacturers
use the tag of highly reputed brands that’s why consumer traped and purchase these
products.

Completive Analysis:

Levi Strauss & Co. was threatened by competition, because barriers of entry were
relatively low in the jean market. (excluding the of entry were relatively low in the
jean market. (excluding the patent) patent)

•Some of Levi Some of Levi’s competitors include: s
competitors include:

 Calvin Klein

 Gap Jeans

16


 Denim Jeans

 Stone age

 Tommy Hilfiger

•The entrance of new competitors had many effects on
Levi’s.

 Levi’’s no longer has monopoly power so now they have to set more
competitive prices due to that lower profits they gain.

 Availability of substitutes firm faces increase in elasticity of demand

 The prices of competitor’s products are lower so consumers prefer other
brands. So when their consumers purchase products from the competitors its
minimizes its market share.

 Competitors successfully were able to take from Levi’s market due to heavy
advertising and branding. . Branding was especially effective for companies
like Calvin Klein that targeted high-end consumers.

 Some of the marketing strategies that competitors like Calvin Klein used to
differentiate their product and brand included:

 Celebrity endorsements (Calvin Klein and Brooke Shields)

 Up Up-to to-date European product designs (low rise, tighter)

 Advertise jeans as “designer.”

 These advertisements were used as a barrier to entry, because of spurious
product differentiation. Although Levi’’s jeans may physically the same as its
competitors, consumer preferences are affected by brand name.

Current Market Need:

17


Its not just how good a product is that determines if consumers will buy it.
Many people find themselves motivated by several factors when that all-
important decision to purchase a specific product is made. For us it is as
simple as comparing the prices, but many others there are many emotional
factors that weigh heavily on their decision. Does this product make me feel
good about myself? What image does this product present me with? What
effect will owning this about myself? Consumers ask themselves questions
such as these when making decisions about whether or not to buy something.

Do people want to be like someone they see in as advertisement? This
question is the basis for marketing, particularly in the clothing industry.
Buyers over the years have liked the rugged. Confident, individualistic and
laid back image that Levi’s give them. This image, which has been created
through the company’s intelligent marketing scheme, has allowed to company
to maintain its prosperity over the year.

SWOT Analysis:

Bases on the Levis Strauss unique resources and capabilities as to be the first
mover in the industry and one of the ten top US recognized brand name has
continue developing new products (as the Jacket with MP3) and looking after
new markets this will allow to adapt to the fast consumers taste changes and
to move away from the saturation of the jeans market.

Strengths:

18

the brand name.

Weaknesses:

percentage of people are reluctant to buy the products.

 As no discounts are present and products are sold at fixed prices
many customers are lost.

 Levi’s does not provide any services like free delivery etc

 Lack of control on distribution decisions ( Retailers pressure to stop
selling on web)

19


Opportunities:

 Levi’s can do more well in the women section. This section is give less
importance as compared to the men section.

 The kid’s section, which has been started from few years, should also be given
proper attention to gain customers.

 Sales promotion can be increased by increasing the advertisements expenses
so as to enjoy a large number of customers.

 Low manufacturing and production cost in various international markets like
Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Threats:

 Saturation of jeans market.

 Local competitors in expanded markets

 The threats that Levi’s faces are the competitors. Although it does not have
any competitor in Pakistan but it does have some competitors at the global
level.

 Fast change in the consumer taste.

 Economic downfall in many countries like Pakistan.

SCANNING THE MARKETING ENVIRONMENT:

Like other successful companies, Levi’s also has realized that the marketing
environment presents a never-ending series of opportunities and threats. The major
responsibility for identifying significant changes in the macro environment falls to a
company’s marketers. More than any other group in the company, the marketing
managers of Levis are the trend trackers and opportunity seekers. Many
opportunities are found by identifying trends (directions or sequences of events that
have some momentum and durability) and mega trends (major social, economic,
political and technological changes that have long-lasting influence). Within the

22


rapidly changing global picture, the marketers of Levi’s are monitoring the following
six major “Environmental Forces”:

• Demographic Environment

• Economic Environment

• Natural Environment

• Technological Environment

• Political-Legal Environment

• Social-Cultural Environment

Products, Positioning, and Market
Segmentation:

Advertising professionals realize that the heart of any campaign is the product
and the position it holds in people's minds. Products and their brand names are
newsmakers themselves. Understanding the complexities of a brand identity and its
position is no easy task. One of the most controversial areas of product concepts is
the brand extension. A new product gets to share the name of an older, established
brand. Early theorizing suggested that brand extensions would sap market clout from
the established product, but these fears proved groundless. Today brand extensions
occur not only within the company, but companies are licensing their brand names to
all kinds of products in the hope of increasing brand awareness.

Target Audience- basis for segmentation:

Market Segmentation:

23


Segmentation is the basis for developing targeted and effective marketing plans.
Furthermore, analysis of market segments enables decisions about intensity of
marketing activities in particular segments. A segment-orientated marketing
approach generally offers a range of advantages for both, businesses and customers.

Market segmentation is the selection of groups of people who will be most receptive
to a product. The most frequent methods of segmenting include demographic
variables such as age, sex, race, income, occupation, education, household status,
and geographic location; psychographic variables such as life-style, activities,
interests, and opinions; product use patterns; and product benefits. Much
segmentation involves combinations of these methods. No matter how segments are
defined, however, they are characterized by considerable change over time. The
readings in this section exemplify areas of rapid change.

segment given below in detail:

main demographic force that marketers monitor is population, because people

of population in cities, regions, and country; age distribution and ethnic mix;
educational levels; household patterns; regional characteristics and
movements. The company makes clothes foe men, women, children & teens. So
everyone is a potential customer for LEVI’S. LEVI’S generally appeals to more
mature generations not necessarily looking to make fashion statement. LEVI’S
makes an effort to appeal to all

Customers in one way or another, which has been a key to their success over
the years. Assuming that the world population is growing LEVI’S can infer that
the market for jeans is also growing.

MARKETING MIX

The marketing mix is the set of marketing tools the firm uses to pursue its
marketing objectives in the target market. Marketing-mix decisions must be made for
influencing the trade channels as well as the final consumers. McCarthy classified
these tools into four broad groups that he called the four Ps of marketing: product,
price, place and promotion. Note that the four Ps represent the seller’s view of the
marketing tools available for influencing buyers.

PRODUCT:

“Product means set of tangible and intangible attributes which may include
packaging, color, price, quality and brand plus the seller’s services and reputation. A
product may be a place, service, good or promotion.”

Implementation

35


Execution Plan

TV Ad

Levi’s is very famous all over the country, people who wears jeans almost know that
Levi’s products are very unique and a name of quality and prestige. For the
advertising campaign of Levi’s, a ad is also made in order to give a live message to
the audience about that the people who wears jeans should only wear LEVI’S jeans
because the actual jeans only made by them . In the ad initially we have not shouted
a video ad as run in the foreign countries because in this phase we only want to tell
people that JEANS IN LEVI’S. Our message through our ad campaign will force people
to think that the jean that they wear is not the actual jeans. In our ad we have shown
just products especially jeans pints by using the photos to show people the offerings
of Levi’s.

Print Media

Newspapers:

For fashion magazines and newspapers LS&Co. is a target due to its grand brand
equity ,it has become a benchmark for all the others to follow. The newspaper gives a

36


coverage to the social events in which LS &Co takes part with great interest. Whereas
fashion magazines are always dealing with the gorgeous models working with LS& Co
and the unique outfits of the models

Radio

Because students and young blood is one the main segment of our campaign and
now a days radio is very important mean to reach them because due to short time to
see TV and availability of FM radio in almost every cell phones model we can easily
send our message. The musical ad that will give the message about the outlet and
the latest products availability will be delivered through the radio. The message will
again remind the target audience our core message that “ JEANS IS ONLY LEVIS”.

Internet:-

Levis provides up-to-date information to their customers through electronic media i.e.
from their website.

Billboards & banners:

The same print media ad will be show in these selected medium to create long term
brand loyalty. The billboards having pictures of products will be displays on the
important places of major cities where outlets are opened. The message that will
shown through billboards and banners will again the same that “ JEANS IS LEVI’S”.
When people see this message again and again where they go they will definitely feel
that the jeans they wear is not the actual jeans and they will rush towards the Levi’s
outlets to have the real jeans.

37


Evaluation

38


Evaluation:

After implementation our plan our next step that is very important is to evaluate our
campaign to check our track whether we are going towards the right direction which
we planned or our targets will not achieve through this campaign. The evaluation
strategies that will be use are

1. Before execution
2. After Execution

Now we tell you how this evaluation will be run.

Before Execution:

Before execution evaluation strategy helps to make decision wither we should run
this ad or not. Many factors have to observe and after evelating the elements that
were under observation decisions are made. Before execution we will observe our ad
on different perameters that are given below:

Storyboard Idea:

For TV ad this methodology is very effective. Ad has being evelauted that what
message is being conveyed and what results or how effective the message is. The
actual purpose of this methodology to check that the message we have developed
through our ad is receiving in the same sense or not.

Behavior Analysis:

This strategy has made to check the behavior of people when the ad has being
exposing to them. Observers are there to watch the behavior and expressions of
39


viewers and see whether they are receiving the actual idea and how they perceive
the ad.

Questionnaire Technique:

In this method ad has exposed to viewers and then asked them to answer the
questions given in the quetionair and then match the answers with the benchmark
answers. If the answers are matcing with the benchmark answers then the ad has
worked.

After execution:

After execution evaluation used to check wether the compieghn is getting the
planned outcomes or not. Few methodologies used to evaluate the ad. Those

Media Strategy

Media Strategy:

Media strategy is choice of media to attain desire results from the ad. If our ad made
superb but we fail to select the right media for our ad we cant successful.

We selected the media for few basis, these basis are given below:

Reason to choose Hum TV:

Our target market is not only men or boys we are targeting ladies and children as
well because of wide product range for both genders and all age levels. The bases of
choosing hum TV are:

 Very popular Home entertainment

 Has a good market share

 Young girls and ladies watch dramas and the dramas of Hum TV are very
popular among them.

Reason to Choose Geo News and Express News:

Now a days Geo News and Express News are most popular news channels and almost
every one watch these channels on routine basis. The time we have chosen for our
ad is very perfect coz the programs like Aj Kamran Khan k Sath and Mere Mutabiq
programs on Geo News are very popular and Kal Tak by Javed Ch is also most viewed

49


TV show. On the other hand they cover a big market share and message through
these channels can reach to maximum audiance. So for these most important
reasons we choose these channels and these programs.

Reason to choose Ten Sports:

No doubts currently Geo sports has launched by the Geo group but this channel due
to live broad casting of all cricket series has same popularity among the market we
are targeting. During the matches almost whole the target market is capture by the
single match and ad will be rum after every 2 or three over which will again and
again reinforce our message that is Jeans is Levis with our ad that will definitely force
to think people about to make a purchase for the actual Jeans.

Reasons to Choose Newspapers:

The reason to choose newspapers is, we can attract more target audience because
the market we are targeting is a regular reader of newspapers and on the other hand
people of all income levels, education and profession read newspapers and it covers
a big target market. The printer ad on from pages with eye catching color scheme
and latest designs and trends of jeans are shown to target audience with our same
reinforcement message that Jeans is Levis. The basic purpose for chosen newspaper
is because it gives single thought for the one topic. When people see again and again
our message with our latest styles and message definitely they will rush towards the
outlets for having the actual jeans.

Reason to Choose Billboards:

Billboards are the very good medium to convey our message to the target audience.
When we display our big billboards on the most famous location which covers the
most important places definitely is will work.

Reason to choose Radio:

Currently we can deliver our message to the large target audience through this
meodium. People while driving, walking, sleeping almost evrytime they listen radio.
So the message can be deliver through the radio easily.
