P&C Helps This Retailer Accelerate Growth by Focusing on High Profitability Products & Upgrading Its Fast Fashion Brand Image
The new leaders of this multi-brand clothing and accessory retailer, known for its legendary brands and global footprint, hoped to accelerate growth by expanding into adjacent areas and extending its retail network. But with profits plummeting by 90 percent, they recognized the need to strengthen branding and inventory management while reducing costs to achieve its ambitious growth strategy.
Working with the firm’s CEO, P&C developed a comprehensive turnaround plan that included short-term profit gains and long-term initiatives for sustained growth. We aligned branding and merchandising strategies, focused product development on items with high profitability for both its retail and catalog outlets and ensured organizational support. We also redesigned their inventory forecasting models, supply chain, and inventory management systems to improve efficiency and better meet customer demand.
To achieve over $400 million in annual profit improvements, P&C helped this company launch initiatives to increase overhead savings, boost its brand image, eliminate less profitable brands and products, and introduce a new “look” for its highest margin, fast fashion brand.
