SUMMARY• Jeans market is growing driven by the increase of premium segments
• All companies are trying hard to achieve better positions in the market
• Drive Denim is doing quite well in men segment but quite struggling with the women segment
• Economy segment is no longer attractive so it’s time to launch the premium segment for women
• Utilise the current marketing strategy of men for women premium Follow the same strategy for product, price, distribution, store design and
advertising
Launch “couple concept” marketing campaign to fuel the growth
