Benetton is currently perceived as an exciting brand focused on color and style. To increase customer equity, the document proposes leveraging Benetton's brand personality through self-expression, relationships, and functional benefits. It also discusses Benetton's utilitarian, hedonic, link, and ethical values for customers. Going forward, the document recommends segmenting Benetton stores to target specific audiences and reposition the brand as a full lifestyle brand offering fashion and quality options worldwide.

Key aspects of Benetton's supply chain included transparency between partners, low inventories through payment terms and high initial seasonal orders, and using a combination of push and pull strategies. When expanding to the US market, Benetton faced challenges of high initial investment costs, stronger competition, and cultural differences in preferences.
