INTRODUCTION<br />
Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> is an American brand which designs, manufactures and markets women’s Premium<br />
Lingerie and beauty products. Founded in 1977, the largest American retailer of women’s lingerie is a<br />
subsidiary of ‘L <strong>Brand</strong>s’, an American fashion retailer. The brand now sells to consumers in approximately<br />
80 countries around the world and holds annual fashion shows showcasing extravagant lingerie pieces and<br />
costumes with supermodels posing as the ‘Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> Angels’ wearing angel wings. Headed for<br />
global domination, Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> has since expanded its roots from the USA to the UK, Canada, the<br />
Middle East, the Caribbean, Poland and China.<br />
This brand audit will thoroughly examine Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> current position in the fashion market in<br />
comparison to its competitors. The brands’ marketing and advertising methods will be reviewed in terms<br />
of effectiveness, giving an insight as to how the brand can improve upon itself and adapt to changing<br />
circumstances.<br />

HISTORY<br />
The story of Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> began when founder Roy Raymond wanted to buy his wife sexy lingerie<br />
as a gift but didn’t want to appear suspicious buying women’s underwear. Naomi Barr of Slate<br />
noted he had the ingenious idea to found a company that would facilitate shopping for underwear.<br />
He wanted it to be an exciting, sexy process that would make men feel comfortable, not perverted<br />
(Schlossberg, M. 2015). Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> officially launched in 1977, when Raymond leased a small<br />
space in California. The brand flourished as women finally had a lingerie specific store, meanwhile,<br />
men were comfortable and willing to purchase products for them.<br />
The introduction of the birth control pill in the 60’s encouraged women to embrace sex, which<br />
fuelled the popularity of the brand and its success. The sexual revolution was underway. As years<br />
passed, Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> changed its target demographic from men to women, encouraging women<br />
to purchase sexy lingerie for themselves and to be fashionable.<br />
The first time Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> staged a show in a runway format was in 1995. Stephanie Seymour<br />
opened the show and no one could have imagined how the event would change from then until now<br />
(Matera, A). From then on, each year has seen the Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> runway show become more and<br />
more extravagant, bigger wings, top models, live celebrity singers and presented in countries all over<br />
the world. From a small store in California to its first flagship store all the way over in Shanghai,<br />
Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> has world domination at the top of its agenda.<br />

INTERNAL BRANDING<br />
<strong>Brand</strong> values have been considered the primary<br />
building blocks of the brand image (Kotler,<br />
Kartajaya & Setiawan, 2010) … <strong>Brand</strong> values have<br />
become essential in the profiling of many brands<br />
(Kostelijk, 2016). The parent brand of Victoria’s<br />
<strong>Secret</strong> ‘L <strong>Brand</strong>s’ has exercised its own brand<br />
values since 1963. The four core principles/ values<br />
are:<br />
* Everything [they] do must begin and end with<br />
an insatiable drive to anticipate and fulfil [their]<br />
customers’ desires.<br />
* [They] pursue excellence because [they] are<br />
emotionally, intellectually and spiritually engaged<br />
in [their] work.<br />
* [They] cherish [their] diversity because embracing<br />
others’ thoughts, experiences, hopes and dreams<br />
makes [their] own more complete and connects<br />
[them] to [their] customers.<br />
* Doing what is right means following [their]<br />
beliefs - and the rules - when no one is watching.<br />
Winning means nothing unless how [they] get there<br />
is fair, collaborative, rooted in [their] values and<br />
contributes to the greater good<br />
(L <strong>Brand</strong>s, 2018)<br />
Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong>’s brand values are to inspire<br />
ultimate sexiness, desire and confidence to women<br />
all over the world. The products boast quality,<br />
luxury and style with only the top sexiest, demanded<br />
models in the industry remaining loyal faces of the<br />
brand.<br />
The brands’ unique selling point is its versatility;<br />
it offers a mix of sexiness and practicality that<br />
allows its consumers to feel like their everyday<br />
wear can also be sexy. It is also renowned for its<br />
annual runway shows and ‘Angels’ that are the<br />
top world models that represent the brand with<br />
the most expensive million dollar ‘fantasy’ bras,<br />
top singers and worldwide locations. No other<br />
lingerie brand does anything close. Sexy and<br />
sophisticated, powerful and dominant, known and<br />
desired around the world - this is <strong>Victoria's</strong> <strong>Secret</strong><br />
(Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong>, 2018). Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong>’s brand<br />
essence thrives on being fun and playful and being<br />
expressive of femininity.<br />
Positioning the product(s) helps to differentiate<br />
the product from competitors in the eye of the<br />
consumer. The consumers hold the buying power<br />
as although underwear is a necessity, purchasing<br />
underwear from Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> is not as<br />
there are cheaper alternatives available. It is the<br />
consumers’ decision whether they will make the<br />
leap in terms of price to the VS brand. The brand<br />
has positioned itself to an advantage against some<br />
of its competitors by selling everything - from bras,<br />
pants, slippers, pyjamas, makeup, body mist and<br />
gym wear. Its multiple products can provide for<br />
multiple functions/occasions which keeps them<br />
successful and persuasive to purchase.<br />

PESTEL ANALYSIS<br />

POLITICAL<br />
The Harvey Weinstein<br />
scandal consisted of over 50<br />
women who came forward with<br />
allegations against the film<br />
mogul, ranging from rape to<br />
sexual harassment. Amongst<br />
the victims who came forward<br />
were many models, including<br />
Cara Delevingne. Fashion has<br />
its own history with sexual<br />
harassment and the poor<br />
treatment of young women,<br />
including increasingly<br />
documented abuses of models<br />
and the many claims against<br />
the photographer Terry<br />
Richardson (who, after some<br />
time away, is still working in<br />
the industry) (Friedman, V.<br />
Bernstein, J. Schneier, M).<br />
In a post-Weinstein world,<br />
the fashion industry and<br />
its brands must adapt and<br />
behave accordingly. Victoria’s<br />
<strong>Secret</strong> will be particularly<br />
affected by the publicity and<br />
audacity of this scandal, as it<br />
is a lingerie brand that solely<br />
focuses on women looking<br />
conventionally sexy for men.<br />
VS has run into its own<br />
political issues when it came<br />
to their annual fashion show.<br />
The 2017 show took place<br />
in Shanghai, China. The<br />
country is notorious for its<br />
strict political views and<br />
way of living, restricting the<br />
population from one child<br />
policies to social media bans,<br />
so it’s no surprise the lingerie<br />
brand struggled when it came<br />
to planning the fashion show<br />
in Shanghai. Katy Perry was<br />
scheduled to perform for the<br />
live show, however, another<br />
act had to be arranged<br />
instead as she was refused<br />
entry into China. According<br />
to the New York Post, the<br />
musician [Katy Perry] was<br />
banned because she wore a<br />
sunflower dress when she<br />
gave a concert in Taiwan,<br />
which China considers a<br />
breakaway province, two<br />
years ago. Sunflowers became<br />
an anti-China symbol on the<br />
island after the Sunflower<br />
Movement began in 2014<br />
(Tsoi, G. 2017). Additionally,<br />
VS model Gigi Hadid who<br />
was meant to be walking<br />
the show, was refused entry.<br />
Hadid was criticised as racist<br />
by Chinese citizens after her<br />
sister uploaded an<br />
Instagram video in which<br />
Hadid narrowed her eyes in<br />
an apparent attempt to mimic<br />
the Buddha shape of a cookie<br />
she was holding up to the<br />
camera (Tsoi, G. 2017). To<br />
avoid mishaps like this in the<br />
future, VS should research<br />
the country and people they<br />
wish to participate in their<br />
show, to anticipate and<br />
eliminate backlash.<br />
Feminism is a strong presence<br />
in todays and the futures<br />
politics. Unfortunately, VS<br />
has been criticised and<br />
branded as modern sexism<br />
uncovered<br />
Putting conventionally<br />
attractive women onstage<br />
and using them as physical<br />
representations of sex in order<br />
to sell bras isn’t exactly a<br />
manifestation of the feminist<br />
dream (Filipovic, J. 2017).<br />
The brand could benefit from<br />
adjusting its gaze from male to<br />
female. A brand that does not<br />
focus on women empowerment<br />
in a society where feminism is<br />
a massive issue, could fail its<br />
consumers.<br />
10

E
ECONOMICAL<br />
Although VS is a brand<br />
that is based in the US and<br />
not Europe, Brexit could<br />
still cause potential issues<br />
when it comes to selling the<br />
brand in the UK. If a hard<br />
Brexit were to take place,<br />
the immediate effects on the<br />
global fashion industry would<br />
be a further devaluation of<br />
the British pound and the<br />
economic uncertainty that<br />
would follow, most likely<br />
resulting in lower domestic<br />
consumer confidence, which<br />
in turn could hurt the UK<br />
retail sector, said Bernadette<br />
Kissane, apparel and footwear<br />
analyst at Euromonitor<br />
(Hoang,L. 2017). If the<br />
value of the pound decreases<br />
significantly, the exchange<br />
rate could affect the value of<br />
the products. VS will have to<br />
decide whether to lose money<br />
through the exchange or<br />
increase UK prices. However,<br />
this could further hurt the<br />
brand as UK consumers<br />
could reject their new, even<br />
higher prices.<br />
The brand charges consumers<br />
accordingly when it comes<br />
to shipping arrangements.<br />
Depending on which country<br />
a consumer is shipping to,<br />
they may be required to pay<br />
for specific duties and taxes.<br />
Some are already including<br />
in the price of the items,<br />
however, when shipping<br />
internationally, consumers<br />
can encounter additional<br />
charges as they are technically<br />
importing.<br />
The exchange rate of<br />
currencies when selling in<br />
different countries can work<br />
with or against the fashion<br />
company. As the majority of<br />
fashion companies export<br />
their goods, the costs, sales<br />
and profitability of their<br />
brand can suffer when there<br />
is a high fluctuation in<br />
currencies (United, F. 2015).<br />
12
13<br />
S
SOCIAL<br />
VS needs to research its<br />
modern-day consumer. The<br />
consumer that they once<br />
targeted have now grown<br />
up and shopped at different<br />
stores/ brands. The new,<br />
younger consumer is not only<br />
‘younger’ but a whole new<br />
generation with a new mindset,<br />
beliefs and behaviour. The<br />
brand needs to adapt to<br />
cater for this new generation<br />
of consumers – they need to<br />
match their mentality as they<br />
are not the same as previous<br />
generations.<br />
Today’s fashion industry is so<br />
fragmented that brand loyalty<br />
is becoming a thing of the<br />
past. Money is a concern for<br />
new generations, and so are<br />
turning to brands that offer<br />
cheaper prices, discounts<br />
and deals. The fashion world<br />
is at their fingertips – they<br />
can search any brand, any<br />
product at any time and<br />
compare brands in seconds.<br />
This means that competition<br />
is stronger than ever for VS,<br />
as competitor brands are<br />
present and relevant.<br />
The next generation of<br />
consumers are money<br />
conscious, therefore making<br />
a large part of their decision<br />
making when it comes to<br />
making a purchase, about<br />
the price. 100% of every<br />
generation said they would<br />
surf the web on their phones<br />
looking for a better price<br />
when in a retail store or<br />
speaking with a sales person<br />
face to face (Dorsey, 2016).<br />
Marketing a luxury lingerie<br />
brand to money-conscious<br />
consumers could pose as<br />
difficult, however, the brand<br />
just needs to make the prices<br />
persuasive and worthwhile for<br />
the consumer.<br />
Additionally, the new<br />
generation of VS consumer is<br />
typically more cultured than<br />
ever before. Issues of gender<br />
and race are less important<br />
to us [Generation Z] simply<br />
because our [their] perspective<br />
is that they should not be<br />
issues at all (Pandit, 2015).<br />
Consumers are now diverse<br />
in all aspects, including race,<br />
religion and size. This new<br />
generation is dismissing the<br />
stereotypical advertising<br />
techniques where brands<br />
only feature skinny, blonde,<br />
popular kids and refusing to<br />
buy into brands that promote<br />
such an image. VS much<br />
respond to this cultural shift<br />
of inclusiveness before they<br />
are refused altogether.<br />
The brand needs to become<br />
more transparent to<br />
consumers as they demand<br />
brand transparency and the<br />
truth. Consumers today are<br />
having difficulty trusting a<br />
brand’s intentions... they want<br />
to know what a brand stands<br />
for and what they value and<br />
they want that brand to live<br />
it every day – in everything<br />
they do and how they do it<br />
(Llopis, G. 2016). Recently,<br />
photoshopping has become<br />
a widely scrutinised topic<br />
within the fashion industry<br />
by its consumers. As some<br />
brands such as Aerie for<br />
American Eagle Outfitters<br />
and Asos have pledged to stop<br />
photoshopping their models,<br />
it can make brands that still<br />
do, look negative and body<br />
shaming in comparison.<br />

T
TECHNOLOGICAL<br />
Technological advances in<br />
machinery could help the<br />
manufacturing of the VS<br />
products to be produced<br />
more rapidly and to a<br />
higher standard. This would<br />
encourage cost reduction,<br />
increase productivity and<br />
better profitability. New<br />
machinery could also help the<br />
brand to be more ethical as<br />
modern equipment is created<br />
with the intention to be more<br />
environmentally friendly and<br />
economical.<br />
The brands marketing team<br />
must remain up to date with<br />
the latest technology that is<br />
being released into the world<br />
of their consumers. Using<br />
technology to market and<br />
advertise the brand is highly<br />
important, and VS must use<br />
the popularity of social media<br />
and modern day technology<br />
to their advantage. It is also<br />
imperative that the brand<br />
hires employees whose<br />
jobs are specific to monitoring<br />
the brands’ social media and<br />
technology, who are aware<br />
and educated in how to exploit<br />
them to correctly reach their<br />
full marketing potential and<br />
reach the maximum amount<br />
of consumers.<br />
Innovation and research<br />
into the development of<br />
new materials allow textile<br />
companies to experiment with<br />
and potentially invent/ correct<br />
current and new materials.<br />
New and innovated materials<br />
for VS could make their<br />
products comfortable, which<br />
is an important factor for the<br />
Generation Z consumer. They<br />
could also be a cheaper and<br />
more economical material to<br />
produce which could allow the<br />
brand to slightly reduce the<br />
prices and therefore attract<br />
consumers.<br />
16
17<br />
E
ENVIRONMENTAL<br />
An important trait for the<br />
new generation of consumers<br />
is being environmentally<br />
friendly. Generation Z<br />
consumers agreed that being<br />
environmentally conscious is<br />
one of the top two important<br />
traits they look for in a brand<br />
(Kravaris, 2017). VS will have<br />
to highlight what it does in<br />
order to be environmentally<br />
conscious, or put plans in<br />
place so that the new ecologist<br />
consumer can respect their<br />
sustainability efforts.<br />
Increasing consumer demand<br />
for environmentally sound<br />
products and services has<br />
prompted many businesses,<br />
large and small, to voluntarily<br />
implement green policies and<br />
strategies into their business<br />
plans (Gluck, S. 2018). The<br />
brand must implement a<br />
strong environmental policy<br />
framework and initiatives,<br />
as it has been scrutinised in<br />
the past for being dangerous<br />
for the environment. In 2016,<br />
Greenpeace International<br />
released its Detox Catwalk,<br />
assessing how effectively 19<br />
major fashion brands are<br />
cleaning up their supply<br />
chains of toxic chemicals.<br />
The Detox Catwalk assesses<br />
how committed companies<br />
have performed against<br />
key criteria, including<br />
eliminating known hazardous<br />
chemicals from their<br />
products and manufacturing<br />
processes, disclosing<br />
pollution information and<br />
publishing suppliers’ lists…<br />
Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> scored in the<br />
lowest “Faux Pas” category<br />
(Greenpeace, 2016).<br />
The brand must implement<br />
a CSR strategy which would<br />
provide benefits including<br />
image, transparency and<br />
profitability. The strategy<br />
is in not only the brands’<br />
best interests but also<br />
the consumers and the<br />
environments. Recently,<br />
VS has pledged to trace<br />
the sources of its woodbased<br />
fabrics, joining the<br />
ranks of fashion companies<br />
addressing human rights<br />
and deforestation… In a<br />
new policy statement, parent<br />
company L <strong>Brand</strong>s said it<br />
aimed to eliminate sources<br />
of wood pulp, used to make<br />
rayon, viscose and modal<br />
that contribute to rainforest<br />
destruction or violate<br />
the rights of local people<br />
(Wulfhorst, 2017).<br />
18
19<br />
L
LEGAL<br />
When handling the brand<br />
on an international scale,<br />
VS must be educated in and<br />
respect the different laws of<br />
the multiple countries and<br />
cultures they encounter.<br />
For example, holding their<br />
runway show in Shanghai<br />
in 2017 resulted in some<br />
legal complications. Models,<br />
singers and bloggers who were<br />
meant to be part of/ be at<br />
the show were banned from<br />
China for multiple reasons.<br />
Also, the after party for all<br />
the models was abruptly shut<br />
down by Chinese authorities<br />
before midnight. Although<br />
they may not understand<br />
why, it is important for VS<br />
and its models and employees<br />
to conform to the laws and<br />
regulations of the country<br />
they have travelled to in order<br />
to remain professional.<br />
In 2014, Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong><br />
sister brand Pink lost a UK<br />
Trademark infringement<br />
battle against a London based<br />
retailer ‘Thomas Pink’. As<br />
both brands have<br />
similar names, they fell into<br />
a legal battle as Thomas<br />
Pink refused to have their<br />
consumers confusing the<br />
two. Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong><br />
could no longer promote its<br />
Pink line in Europe after<br />
a United Kingdom court<br />
ruled the brand infringes<br />
on trademarks owned by<br />
the London-based clothier<br />
Thomas Pink…While not<br />
affecting Victoria <strong>Secret</strong>’s<br />
U.S. practices, the ruling<br />
will threaten the lingerie<br />
company’s attempt to expand<br />
its presence in the U.K.,<br />
according to a Bloomberg<br />
report (Ellis, 2014).<br />
From its top paid models to<br />
its store associates, VS must<br />
ensure it is following the legal<br />
specifications of employment.<br />
For example, ensuring they<br />
do not violate minimum wage,<br />
ensure its employees have<br />
appropriate breaks and that<br />
no one is being mistreated. If<br />
the brand were to neglect the<br />
safety of their employees, it<br />
could<br />
be harmful for the brands<br />
identity and luxury image if<br />
those employees speak out.<br />
In the past, VS has found itself<br />
involved in a child labour<br />
scandal. An investigative<br />
report from Bloomberg<br />
reveals that the “fair-trade,<br />
organic” cotton used in many<br />
of Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong>’s products<br />
is actually produced by a<br />
company that largely relies on<br />
forced child<br />
labourers (Phelan, 2011).<br />
This scandal damaged<br />
the brand trust between<br />
its consumers, whilst also<br />
being harmful to the brands<br />
image of being luxurious<br />
and expensive. The brand<br />
must always be aware and<br />
conscious of the deals and<br />
contracts it signs and buys<br />
itself into in order to avoid<br />
scandals like this. Rather<br />
than signing a deal and<br />
forgetting about it, VS must<br />
make regular research into<br />
what it is involved in.<br />
20
EXTERNAL<br />
brandING<br />
The corporate identity is based on the<br />
colour pink, with light and dark pink<br />
alternating lines serving as the brands<br />
known pattern and colours of which the<br />
consumer associates Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong><br />
with. The colour palette has remained<br />
pink as it is the colour of femininity.<br />
Additionally, the brand uses two logos:<br />
an interlocked ‘V’ and ‘S’ and their<br />
‘VICTORIA’S SECRET’ name in their<br />
own specific font style. The font used for<br />
the logo of the company is a commercial<br />
old style serif typeface by the name of<br />
Trajan, where they modified the initial<br />
caps of VS, used a different apostrophe<br />
character, and thinned some parts<br />
of the letters… It was designed by<br />
American calligrapher and typeface<br />
designer, Carol Twombly in 1989 for<br />
Adobe… As it was a modified version<br />
of Trajan, Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> called it<br />
Victoria (Gonsalvez, 2015).<br />
The name logo is used as the main logo<br />
that represents the brand. It features on<br />
the front of the stores, on the shopping<br />
bags it gives to customers and even<br />
across the band of some of its panties.<br />
The smaller, initials logo can appear<br />
on the bras as a small metal clip.<br />
21
22
23
Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong>s’ methods of print advertising are limited, as<br />
the age of technology has dawned. May 2016 saw the brand<br />
turn its back on its mail-order catalogue that had been running<br />
since 1977. They have saved themselves almost $150 million a<br />
year since deciding to axe the catalogue, and bank analysts<br />
expect the elimination of the catalogue to have "little to no<br />
impact on sales," according to Market Watch (Manning, 2016).<br />
It seemed that the catalogue was no longer connecting with its<br />
consumers, who are now viewing products online.<br />
24
The iconic in-store displays have a running theme<br />
throughout all VS stores. The colour scheme is pink<br />
and black, with dim lighting to create a sexy ambience.<br />
The lingerie is displayed on body mannequins that sit<br />
on top of classical furniture pieces.<br />
25
The furniture has small drawers descending underneath,<br />
that each carries different sizes. This makes it easy for<br />
shoppers to find their size (as each drawer is labelled with<br />
a size) rather than sifting through a rack of coat hangers,<br />
which can be irritating and also create a tacky vibe. The<br />
display of drawers and furniture creates the atmosphere of<br />
a personal shopping experience and makes the store feel like<br />
a walk in wardrobe.<br />

27<br />
DOVE’S REACTION TO ‘THE PERFECT<br />
BODY’ CAMPAIGN
VICTORIA’S SECRET WAS ACCUSED OF BODY<br />
SHAMING AND PROMOTING AN UNREALISTIC<br />
STANDARD OF BEAUTY<br />
Unfortunately, the brand has been under scrutiny for previous ad print campaigns. The most<br />
memorable and impacting being the ‘The Perfect Body’ campaign in November 2014. The advert<br />
suggested that only slim models had the ‘perfect body’, after 26,000 people signed a petition<br />
calling for the lingerie company to ‘amend the irresponsible marketing’, it changed the ad to<br />
read ‘A body for everybody’ (The Telegraph, 2017). <strong>Brand</strong>s like Dove jumped on the backlash<br />
bandwagon and created their own campaign ‘The Perfect Real Body’ in response, which worked<br />
to their own advantage.<br />

AIDAr<br />
ANALYSIS:<br />
AWARENESS,<br />
INTEREST,<br />
DESIRE, ACTION<br />
& RETENTION<br />
A<br />
VS uses a range of<br />
platforms to create brand<br />
awareness to its target<br />
consumer. This includes<br />
outdoor print methods<br />
such as billboards and<br />
bus adverts, they also<br />
have a website along<br />
with a heavily based<br />
social media presence.<br />
They hold accounts<br />
on Facebook, Twitter,<br />
Pinterest, Instagram and<br />
YouTube. In addition to<br />
the 58.9 million Instagram<br />
followers, it is important to<br />
recognise that its ‘Angels’<br />
all have from 3 to 38<br />
million followers each too,<br />
depending on the model.<br />
It uses its social media<br />
platforms to advertise its<br />
new products and deals<br />
that are on offer, often<br />
driving its consumers to<br />
their website to purchase<br />
products. There are also<br />
offers exclusive to in-store<br />
only, which are also clearly<br />
advertised. Other than<br />
in-store deals, the brand<br />
traffics its customers to the<br />
website.<br />
I<br />
The brand gains interest<br />
from consumers by hosting<br />
an annual Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong><br />
Fashion Show, which has<br />
in recent years found itself<br />
being hosted globally in<br />
countries including the<br />
UK, Paris and China. The<br />
shows create a huge global<br />
interest each year, with<br />
millions tuning in to watch<br />
the show live. The runway<br />
shows help the brand to<br />
grow globally and introduce<br />
itself to consumers in new<br />
countries, dominating<br />
on an international scale.<br />
It is broadcast live on<br />
TV and on their official<br />
website, broadcast again<br />
at a later date, and clips<br />
from the show feature on<br />
their YouTube channel<br />
and social media pages.<br />
Although the shows have<br />
proven successful since<br />
they began, the last show<br />
(Shanghai 2017) suffered<br />
its worst ratings on record.<br />
The lingerie show averaged<br />
a 1.5 rating among adults<br />
18-49, sinking nearly 30<br />
percent from the previous<br />
low in 2016 (O’Connell,<br />
2017).<br />

D A R<br />
By selling an idealised<br />
image of women, Victoria’s<br />
<strong>Secret</strong> is desirable to its<br />
consumer by creating the<br />
idea that women should<br />
buy into the brand and<br />
its products in order to<br />
be desirable, sexy and<br />
popular. This ideology<br />
has previously worked<br />
successfully for the brand,<br />
as these have long been<br />
sought after traits by<br />
young women. However, the<br />
recent decline in sales and<br />
popularity suggests that<br />
the new generation of VS<br />
consumer has alternative<br />
priorities.<br />
The brands’ call to actions<br />
are placed online on their<br />
official website. Consumers<br />
cannot contact the brands<br />
via social media even if they<br />
‘follow’ them. Although<br />
contact is limited, it is<br />
still easy for customers to<br />
engage. For example, the<br />
website has a 24/7 live chat<br />
available where anyone can<br />
message a representative of<br />
the brand at any time with<br />
queries/questions. There<br />
is also a phone number<br />
available on the website<br />
which varies according to<br />
the consumers’ country.<br />
The proposition to retain<br />
loyalty is limited and<br />
niche, and is in the form<br />
of a ‘Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong><br />
Credit Card’. The credit<br />
card is issued by Comenity<br />
Bank and can be used<br />
for purchases online at<br />
Victorias<strong>Secret</strong>.com or in<br />
a Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> retail<br />
location. While the card<br />
cannot be used in any<br />
other stores, it rewards<br />
cardholders with points<br />
that accrue and can be<br />
used for money off of<br />
future purchases (Toovey,<br />
2016). The credit card is<br />
only of use to loyal, regular<br />
consumers who spend a<br />
lot of money at VS. They<br />
must spend/ accumulate a<br />
certain number of points<br />
within a year in order<br />
to qualify for the card.<br />
This is exclusive to other<br />
consumers who perhaps<br />
have less to spend but still<br />
wish to ‘treat themselves’<br />
or shop there occasionally.<br />
This idea defeats the<br />
purpose of the card,<br />
which is to save money on<br />
future purchases – if only<br />
consumers who have a lot<br />
of disposable income have<br />
access to the card, those<br />
are the type of consumer<br />
who generally doesn’t need<br />
the money off.<br />

SWOT ANALYSIS:<br />
STRENGTHS<br />
The brand has a worldwide consumer<br />
base, selling in countries all over the<br />
world. Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> Direct sells to<br />
customers in approximately 80 countries<br />
[they] also offer select Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong><br />
products through duty-free stores in 23<br />
countries around the world and have<br />
been successful with [their] beauty and<br />
accessories concept for Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> in<br />
airports and tourist destinations (<strong>Brand</strong>s,<br />
L. 2018). This results in the brand<br />
already having a global presence, with a<br />
popularity that is not just restricted to the<br />
USA. Additionally, the brand continues<br />
to globalise further by introducing its<br />
annual fashion show in different capital<br />
cities all over the world. These include<br />
London, Paris and Shang Hai. Not only<br />
do the fashion shows create global brand<br />
awareness, but they have continuously<br />
proven to be a hit with consumers. The<br />
show has happened every year since 1999,<br />
except for 2004 when an “Angels Across<br />
America” tour was held instead, with<br />
stops in Las Vegas, Miami, N.Y.C. and<br />
L.A (Pearl, D. 2016). The annual runway<br />
shows feature performances from top<br />
singers whilst the angels walk the runway<br />
in lingerie and huge angel wings, racking<br />
up millions of views each year.<br />
Another strength of the brand is its large<br />
online presence. Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> has<br />
official pages on Facebook, Twitter,<br />
Instagram, Pinterest and its own official<br />
Website. The VS models also have their<br />
own personal accounts too, which is<br />
beneficial to the brand providing they<br />
remain responsible for social media and<br />
do not post anything that could potentially<br />
hurt the brand. This is unlikely as the<br />
models tend to have been in the VS family<br />
for years and are respectable and aware<br />
of the importance of their position. The<br />
brand is also popular amongst celebrity<br />
singers/artists. This also boosts their<br />
consumer base as when artists such as<br />
The Weeknd and Selena Gomez perform<br />
for VS, their fans/consumers are also<br />
exposed to Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> too.<br />
An important strength that Victoria’s<br />
<strong>Secret</strong> holds is branding consistency. One<br />
of the major elements of successful brand<br />
implementation is consistency… without<br />
a uniformly consistent message, there<br />
is no branding (Foote, C.S. 2012). The<br />
brand has managed to remain consistent<br />
when it comes to presenting its brand<br />
message, logo, colour scheme, packaging<br />
and models. This has resulted in a stable<br />
brand essence which is attractive and<br />
dependable.<br />
31
32
SWOT ANALYSIS:<br />
WEAKNESSES<br />
One of the most apparent and ancient<br />
weaknesses of Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> is that it<br />
only caters to a niche market. The sizes<br />
the brands offers in both its clothing and<br />
lingerie is an extremely small range, which<br />
excludes a mass consumer base that has<br />
money to spend (and most likely would) if<br />
they had the ability to at Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong>.<br />
On the subject of sizing, the brand has<br />
previously been under fire for its negative<br />
and exclusive message towards women<br />
when marketing. Its skinny-centric<br />
marketing methods are causing the brand<br />
to miss out on the plus size market, which<br />
is continuously rising. US sales of women’s<br />
plus-size apparel, including those for<br />
teens, rose 6% to $21.4 billion in 2016<br />
(Cheng, A. 2017).<br />
Consumers have complained about the<br />
disappointing product quality when<br />
purchasing VS products, especially when<br />
taking into consideration the high prices.<br />
Previously, Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> has been<br />
sued for consumer fraud, when they had<br />
terminated a contract with their hosiery<br />
supplier, Zephyr. They continued to sell a<br />
lower-quality version of the same product,<br />
using the same packaging (Monget, 2012).<br />
This can damage the brand and cause<br />
consumers to view it as dishonest, which<br />
could, therefore, result in them resorting<br />
to choosing competitor brands in which<br />
they can trust instead.<br />
Another weakness is how the brand is<br />
struggling to manage its different brands.<br />
VS neglects to differentiate the voice<br />
used by their younger PINK brand, and<br />
Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong>… Instead, both use a<br />
‘BFF’ tone, which blurs the personality<br />
of these brands as one and the same<br />
(Richard, M. 2014). Although their PINK<br />
brand is highly popular and continuing to<br />
be successful with their target consumer,<br />
using the same approach with the<br />
Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> Lingerie brand exercises<br />
the incorrect and inconsistent brand<br />
image for consumers.<br />
When operating their many social media<br />
accounts, VS must consider how repetition<br />
can have a negative effect on its audience.<br />
For example, the brand has posted the<br />
repeat post on all of its social media<br />
accounts (from Facebook to Twitter).<br />
This fails to make each of its social media<br />
platforms unique – if they all post the same<br />
news/ photos/ deals, then consumers will<br />
refuse to follow all of the brands Social<br />
Medias. Failing to be popular amongst<br />
Social Media will cause the brand to miss<br />
out on the most successful and accessible<br />
platform of advertising.<br />
33
Being such a globally successful and<br />
well-known brand, Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> has<br />
unfortunately neglected to engage in<br />
corporate social responsibility initiatives.<br />
The brand could benefit from participating<br />
in charity events or implementing their<br />
own charity that allows the company and<br />
its consumers to donate money to a good<br />
cause. In 2012, their major producers of<br />
fair-trade cotton have been discovered to<br />
be using child labour and forced labour<br />
(Simpson, Ekow & Bliss, 2012). Having<br />
suffered backlash previously for ethical<br />
issues, the brand is showing weakness by<br />
failing to be involved with charities and<br />
making a conscious effort to do good.<br />
Previous ad campaigns such as the<br />
‘Perfect Body’ have damaged the brand’s<br />
reputation as consumers have responded<br />
negatively to the message the brand was<br />
portraying. This is a weakness within VS<br />
as the brand is neglecting to consider how<br />
their campaigns can potentially offend<br />
consumers and give the wrong message.<br />
Consumers are more brand aware than<br />
ever and offending them can result in<br />
them boycotting the brand and resorting<br />
to competitor brands.<br />
34
SWOT ANALYSIS:<br />
OPPORTUNITIES<br />
Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> has the opportunity to<br />
become a brand which promotes diversity<br />
in all aspects, including body shape, race<br />
and religion. This will not only expand<br />
the brands target consumer, but also<br />
update the brand message to be modern<br />
and inclusive. This is imperative for VS as<br />
emerging generations such as Generation<br />
Z and Generation Alpha are particularly<br />
adoptive of this mindset. Generation Z is<br />
the generation that has now become the<br />
brands target consumer age as previous<br />
generations become older. Gen Z is the<br />
most diverse generation in US history…<br />
they are so diverse, that they do not see<br />
diversity unless it’s absent (Dorsey, 2015).<br />
The brand also has the opportunity to<br />
improve upon its in-store experience.<br />
Consumers are becoming increasingly<br />
immersed in the ease of online shopping,<br />
and brick and mortar stores must<br />
compete in the sense of bringing to them<br />
an experience that can only be offered by<br />
coming to a VS store. For example, stores<br />
could feature mini exhibitions of the<br />
genuine runway outfits the models have<br />
worn each year.<br />
There are many factors to take into<br />
consideration that are massively impacting<br />
the fashion<br />
industry that Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong> can<br />
take advantage of. For example, ‘The<br />
Amazon Effect’ is the ongoing evolution<br />
and disruption of the retail market, both<br />
online and in physical outlets, resulting<br />
from increased e-commerce (Rouse, M.<br />
2017). In 2016, the total value of the US<br />
apparel market was $200 billion, with<br />
Amazon claiming about $3.4 billion<br />
of that, a new report from One Click<br />
Retail has found (Thomas, L. 2017). VS<br />
could take this opportunity and sell their<br />
products through the retailer Amazon.<br />
VS has the funding and resources to<br />
enforce further international expansion,<br />
therefore marketing to more women in<br />
different cultures and countries. China’s<br />
first VS flagship store opened in Shanghai<br />
in 2017, proving that the brand has the<br />
capability to expand countries and cater<br />
to different cultures. By demonstrating an<br />
understanding and respect for different<br />
cultures, the brand will gain the respect<br />
and loyalty of its international consumers.<br />
The brand has the opportunity to<br />
engage in corporate social responsibility<br />
initiatives (CSR). Research by Handelman<br />
and Arnold (1999) found that firms that<br />
engage in institutional actions (actions<br />
suitable to societal<br />
35
norms) enhance firms’ legitimacy, which<br />
in turn increases support (Hill and<br />
Langan, 2016). By showing consumers<br />
they are aware of worldwide issues and<br />
helping to charity the situation, the brand<br />
will gain consumer trust and respect.<br />
With consumers becoming more aware of<br />
economics, politics and the world around<br />
them, it is important for VS to stay<br />
relevant and educated. The brand could,<br />
for example, offer graduate schemes or<br />
fund college students with fashion projects.<br />
36
SWOT ANALYSIS:<br />
THREATS<br />
A major threat to VS is its competitors<br />
are growing from strength to strength.<br />
Competitor brands such as Aerie for<br />
American Eagle Outfitters are stealing<br />
the limelight along with VS’ consumers<br />
with their value for money, unique lingerie<br />
that sends a body positive message. Aerie<br />
refuses to photoshop its models and<br />
features models of different body shapes<br />
and sizes, embracing diversity and being<br />
inclusive. This refreshing brand message<br />
makes VS look outdated. Additionally,<br />
lingerie competitors can be cheaper<br />
which a major selling point is also for new<br />
generations, who are more careful when it<br />
comes to splurge spending. Consumers are<br />
now losing the justification for spending<br />
$60 on a bra. Due to the highly fragmented<br />
fashion industry, new generations are not<br />
brand loyal. They will skip from brand to<br />
brand depending on which one is suitable<br />
or attractive enough for them at the time.<br />
VS needs to be the brand that is always<br />
attractive, convenient and worth it to<br />
consumers.<br />
As VS has become a global brand, they<br />
must consider exchange rates when selling<br />
products in the many currencies all over<br />
the world. When dealing with international<br />
business, VS may<br />
run into extraneous costs in their global<br />
efforts that were not anticipated due<br />
to the exchange rate fluctuations that<br />
make temporary changes to the cost of<br />
distribution (Richard, M. 2014). Also,<br />
whilst taking on new countries, VS will<br />
encounter foreign competitor brands which<br />
are the most educated and immersed in<br />
their own culture in comparison to VS’<br />
acute knowledge.<br />
When introducing the brand to new<br />
countries, such as China in 2017,<br />
they must take full consideration into<br />
educating themselves (and all their<br />
employees) about the countries culture,<br />
rules and regulations. One slip up and<br />
the consumers could boycott VS or the<br />
country could even banish the brand.<br />
When dealing with particularly sensitive<br />
countries such as China, the brand needs<br />
to adhere to their beliefs in order to<br />
succeed in that country. Acting the same<br />
and using the exact same marketing and<br />
advertising techniques in China as they<br />
do in the UK would be disastrous.<br />
The new Generations including Generation<br />
Z and Generation Alpha have a brand<br />
new, inclusive mindset. They believe in<br />
inclusiveness and celebrate being unique,<br />
exclusive<br />
37
ands to not appeal to the next generation<br />
of teens/ young adults. This has been<br />
proven by the decline of brands such as<br />
Abercrombie and Fitch who promoted the<br />
idea of exclusiveness. VS has for a long<br />
time exercised this approach of only being<br />
accessible to women of a certain, refined<br />
body type and size which could result in<br />
a loss of interest with the next generation<br />
consumer.<br />
38
39
CONCLUSION<br />
Considering Victoria’s <strong>Secret</strong>s’ sudden rise in success<br />
since its entrance into the world of fashion and lingerie in<br />
1977, it is important to understand the position of power<br />
it holds globally. Although the brand has made marketing<br />
errors in the past and is currently showing signs of a dip<br />
in popularity, VS is not over yet. There are many ways<br />
in which the brand can learn from its old mistakes, and<br />
educate itself on the brand it has the potential to be in<br />
order to cater for the next generation consumer.<br />
