SWOT Analysis
15. Internal Environment
Strengths
The brand is very famous for its plain polo’s in multiple colors
Well known for tennis and golf clothes
The brand has a very rich clientele in the sports fraternity
Weaknesses
Main focus is to provide for tennis and golf players.
Not as popular with mainstream fashion.
A lot of their products are geared around sports and summer weather.
16. External Environment
Opportunities
To possibly expand to other sports
Extend their range to products suited for other seasons
Demand for Lacoste’s products are Increasing in the Asia-Pacific region significantly
Threats
Other sporting companies in terms of general sportswear. E.g Nike, Adidas
Seasons other than summer
The company has lost significant market share to other brands
17. Recommendation
They should try to focus and sponsor on other sports like Cricket and Football.
Try to capture market share by introducing products for all seasons.
Try to involve in Olympics games.
Formal area has to be discovered.
Lacoste’s business is 85% tops (polos, oxfords, V-neck T’s) so they have a big
opportunity to extend offerings “below the waist” with pants, jeans, skirts. Etc
