Swot - Levi's
SWOT Analysis – Levi Strauss
Strengths: Levis' are the original, authentic jean. They were a hit with baby boomers decades ago
when they were in their teenager years. Another is that they stood for something beyond profit.
The family took pride in providing quality products, personal service, and fair treatment. The family
name and tradition was associated with respect for people—customers, employees, and the
community.
Weaknesses: The Company began to rapidly lose market share to newer, trendier, more aggressive
brands and designer labels. The Levi brand lost lustre and relevance to the younger generation.
Levi's jeans are perceived to be their “parent's jeans.” For that reason they will wear anything else
but a pair of Levi's. This perception is an on-going marketing problem and the company is struggling
to find a way to reverse the brand's fortunes. Their tradition of promoting within may have started
their dark side. Long-term managers became used to doing things a certain way, and kept new
ideas and new blood at a distance. Since the company was so committed to its employees, it kept
the younger recruits with new ideas from finding a place. They were so inwardly focused, that they
missed the great changes occurring in the fashion world. Their main flaw was that they did not have
a clear developmental strategic plan, did not pay attention and learn new technologies, and did not
keep track of the competition, market and consumer tastes.
Opportunities: In today’s society, the consumer is becoming more leisure oriented, and wears jeans
more often. Levi’s is still on top, and hold the majority of the market share in jeans sales. Their
biggest opportunity is to expand their market. Mega retailers like K-Mart, Wal-Mart, and other
large retailers do not currently sell Levi’s. It would be a great opportunity to increase sales and find
a new market with a younger generation.
