2013-01-09 22:21:32 - SuperGroup - Verdict Company Briefing - a new company profile report on companiesandmarkets.com

SuperGroup is in a relatively enviable position compared to its peers, due to the popularity of the Superdry brand and consistently strong sales. However, the brand is at risk of over-exposure, and certain questions have been raised over the company´s operations. This Verdict briefing looks at some of the issues affecting SuperGroup, and makes suggestions as to how the company can overcome them.

- Justify and inform development of physical space strategies and store concepts by uncovering SuperGroup´s activity in this area.

Key Highlights

International expansion

 

 

has proved extremely profitable for the company and will continue to provide a steady revenue stream for the company while the UK market remains subdued. The company needs to ensure its brand maintains equity and look for other avenues to expand, such as childrenswear, as growth in its core clothing market becomes tougher.

The company has worked towards protecting margins from further pressure by shying away from heavy discounting, even at key sale periods. While this has resulted in fewer sales during these times, with shoppers turning to SuperGroup´s competitors to take advantage of their lower prices, this approach helps protect and foster trust in the brand.

In July 2012, SuperGroup announced plans to rebrand its entire estate of Cult stores as Superdry, due to the increasing strength of the brand. The company intends to have all 20 stores rebranded by the start of the Christmas 2012 trading period. This streamlining will better focus the company´s efforts.
