KEYS TO
 SUCCESS
OF MANGO
Factors behind Globalization of Mango
• THE FRANCHISE AS A FORM OF ENTRY
• MIX INTERNATIONAL MARKETING STRATEGIES
     – PRODUCT STRATEGIES - The company makes common collections
       in 89 countries that have completely different cultural,
       climatological and morphological environments.
     – Portfolio of brands - The products of the company are not
       commercialized in all the countries under the same brand. On an
       international level, the chain uses four names derived from the
       acronym or combination of the original MANGO brand.
         • MANGO – Original brand name
         • MNG
         • MANGO Barcelona – Used in China, wants to be associated with
           European Origin.
         • MNG by MANGO – Used in USA, ‘the Anglo-Saxon world uses initials a lot
•   PRODUCT LABELLING - MNG brand appears both in the outside labeling as well as the
    inside, in such a way that the same labels can be used in all the markets.
• PRICE STRATEGY
     – In general, MANGO applies a medium-high pricing policy, which
       accompanies its product policy of medium-high quality
•   Specific market segment – young women who like fashion
•   Price and positioning - ‘A middle class positioning’ but above ZARA.
•   COMMUNICATION - MANGO assigns 4% of the total sales in each country to
    advertising
•   Subcontracting - Mango manufactures none of the garments that it sells
•   Logistics and Supply chain management
     – more than 140 suppliers around the world, and each region specializes in one type of
        clothing that it can manufacture “at a competitive price.”

•   Computer platform to manage its supply chain
     – Mango can manage its more than 7,000 direct employees as well as the additional 22,000
        people who work for Mango indirectly
•   As at 31st December 2010, the Mango group had 1,757 stores, 1,456 of which
    were located abroad because of Cultural Diversity of its products.


            “The challenge now is to consolidate the position in each country”. - Isak Halfon
                            Director of International Expansion of MANGO

  production costs, obtain a low cost and keep prices
  competitive

  systems.

Editor's Notes

  1. The year 1999 would be a milestone for the company and a turning point in its process of international expansion. The opening process of its wholly-owned shops abroad reached its maximum with the inauguration of 42 establishments. In this same year the large shop of the chain in the Opera area of Paris was opened.From 1999, the frequency of opening wholly-owned shops abroad lessened progressively until 2002, when the rate of growth became negative. In this exercise establishments were closed in Germany (1), Andorra (1), Argentina (2), Brazil (1) and the UK (1), until there was a total of 6 closures and only two openings.This stage lasted hardly six years. In 2003 it left the Argentinean market completely, closing 4 establishments which were still in its possession. One year later it sold a franchise of its shops in Chile; and in 2005, it did the same with 8 shops in Israel. Leaving behind a multimillion investment.
