Zara is known to use teams of designers instead of individuals.

Zara has to face a lot of competition from H&M, Gap and Benton internationally. Fortunately Zara is considered to be more fashionable than the rest of the brands despite the fact that its price is less than Benetton and Gap. H&M is still cheaper than Zara but is equally fashionable as Zara. Gap and Benetton are less fashionable and more pricy.

Zara started out with low priced products which were pale imitations of high end fashion products. This move led to Zara being a smashing success and allowed them to expand by opening more stores in Spain.

Zara is unique in the way that it does not spend money on marketing and instead concentrates on opening new stores instead. Their brave experiments have led them to be labeled as one of the most innovative retailers in the world.

BRAND POSITIONING Zara among others, has about 3,000 stores worldwide H&M, based in Swede n, has 2,500 (when you include its smaller lines of stores); and Mango, based in Spain, 2,400.Zara accounts for nearly 70% of Inditex’s income, and, therefore, makes it the pillar of Amancio Ortega’s –the 3rd richest man.

Page 26: Casestudy ZARA

 Zara controls and coordinates perfectly all the process and allows reducing the times to minimums.

Zara provided a considerable number of products, which were more than rival corporations in the fashion industry.

It produced approximately 11,000 different products per year, while its major rivals only produce 2,000 to 4,000.

Zara spent four to five weeks on the process of designing a new product and getting finished products in its stores .

So, Zara already was the leading brand in `fast fashion’. Zara could redesign existing products in no more than two weeks.

Zara is indeed an unique brand that, instead of creating an exclusive brand.

Now that major fast fashion competitors are adopting Zara’s model, Inditex will be -necessarily- bringing to the fashion retail industry.
