SWOT Analysis
Opportunities • Room for growth.• If popularity increases, create a website.• Targeting customers- fashion cautious groups.• Brand expansion if clothing sells. • Increase in Men’s clothing brands.• Charity works provides opportunities to reach more
people that would not shop here.• State expansion if successful. • Use of “real” models. Threats • Midland is a thriving area, potential competitors may
open up.• Potentially could be bad to only carry items in one of
each size.• Accessibility to online retailers like Nordstrom’s,
Bloomingdale’s, etc.• Set Mode Classique apart from these big name retailers.• More loyalty and awareness of these big retailers.• Hard to convert customers to a small boutique.• People in Midland don’t like change.
Strengths• Only high-end store in the area.• Industry Expertise.• Personalized to your needs and wants. (Portfolios)• High quality clothing.• Wide range of clothing.• Organized Store.• Excellent Customer Service.• Mini coffee bar.• Variety of brands.• Charity work.• Uniqueness and Exclusivity. Weaknesses • Midland is a hard community to get approved for
business.• Difficult to manage all the lines of products, inventory,
and small number of staff.• Customer Service may be difficult during busy times
because of few workers. • Leading to poor store presentation if not enough help.• Quality and price range will only be appealing with
those customers that have money to spend.• No website.
