Part 1: Introduction
Introduction to ZARA
ZARA is a popular international fashion brands that belong to textile giant Inditex, one of the
world’s biggest distribution groups that has significantly grown its luxury fashion business in
different corners of the world. ZARA is originally a Spanish multinational retail apparel chain
that currently runs almost 3,000 stores all over the world. The company is specified in fast
fashion and offers garments, swimwear, shoes, accessories, perfumes as well as luxurious
beauty products. The ZARA headquarter is situated in Arteixo, in Galicia, Spain, and was
founded by Amancio Ortega in 1975 (zara.com, 2022). ZARA is the flagship chain store of
the Inditex group and also is the biggest integral organization of the Inditex group.
The consumers are at the core of ZARA’s distinctive business model, which incorporates
design, innovation, production, distribution, marketing, and sales through its sizeable retail
network. The reason for the success of ZARA is mainly due to its capability to manage
quickly changing global fashion trends and design its collection with the ever-changing
demands of customers all over the world (Seo and Suh, 2019). From the start of their brand,
ZARA identified a crucial gap in the market that very few apparel brands successfully found.
The mission of ZARA is to provide distinguished products to customers according to their
demands and needs and to improve lives. ZARA has built an efficient supply chain and the
brand’s capability to have its trendy creative designs is extraordinary and has given ZARA a
competitive advantage.
Introduction to floral printed trench coats by ZARA
ZARA has recently designed
“floral printed trench coats”
for young women with a keen
interest in using stylish and luxurious apparel. This exceptionally innovative floral-printed
trench coat is easy to be worn with almost everything starting from jeans with sneakers to
floral-printed midi dresses. These trench coat fabrics are made up of various materials such
as waterproof heavy-duty high-quality cotton material, satin, leather, poplin fabric, or twill
weaves (Mahardika and WayanSantika, 2021). These trench coats are oversized with few
features such as lapel collars, long sleeves double breasted with tab details, including
matching fabric belts with pockets. The floral printed is unique and enriched with a
sophisticated touch and can be a great choice for fashion-conscious young women with a
deep interest in expensive garments. In this study, a critical analysis of the market trends will

be done along with the STP model of ZARA and the issues it may face to introduce its new
product floral printed trench coats in the UK market.
Part 2: Critical analysis of market trends
Key market trends of
floral printed trench coats by
ZARA
Figure 1: Annual financial growth of ZARA over the period
(Source: statista, 2022)
The popularity of trench coats has been increasing and many brands are offering many
types of trench coats. These trench coats are lightweight, practical and versatile which is
why many people are rating them high nowadays also these coats can be used in any
season, also keeping in mind the weather of the UK this is the best time to buy them. ZARA
is committed to launching new and innovative products in the market to their customers (Jha
and Veeramani, 2021). ZARA makes 60% of their products so this helps them to make
affordable products for their customers. After the effects of covid-19 many companies
suffered huge losses and the current economical state of the UK is also not impressive so
the use of innovation in the products is what attracts the customer now and ZARA is doing
that quite significantly. A survey proved that 86% of UK citizens know ZARA as a brand
among them 28% of the people like to buy from them (Berbiche
et al.
2020). As Generation
4
Z started to express their worries about sustainability many popular companies have started
to work on their sustainability plans for the future.
Key competitors of floral printed trench coats by ZARA
Figure 2: Comparative market share of ZARA
(Source: spglobal, 2022)
The competition in the fashion industry is growing exponentially because more brands are
looking to make a place in the market. The UK fashion industry has an estimated market
value of 7.16 billion pounds, this assures a large market share. The key competitors of ZARA
are H&M and Louis Vitton and these companies are also well-established in this industry
which is why ZARA should always be aware of their business strategy (Ha, 2021). Most
businesses in the UK are looking for sustainability solutions to survive the disastrous effects
of Covid-19 and therefore the investment rates have been reduced in this industry. Though
ZARA has managed to utilise the element and now after the covid era the fashion industry is
blooming, ZARA has also joined the foreign direct investment method and this is one of the
main reasons that they are still one of the leaders in UK’s fashion industry but launching new
products have become very difficult in the market because of the longstanding position of the
business (Cesco
et al.
2021). The approximate valuation of Luis Vitton is 25.9 billion which
demonstrates a powerful impact in the fashion industry this statistic shows that
ZARA will
face major competence in this market.

Key markets of floral printed trench coats by ZARA
Trench coats were famously popularized by film stars like Myerl Streep and were originally
developed for the British army in the first world war. Trench coats have become quite popular
nowadays because they can be used in every season so it becomes a desirable product for
customers (Singh, 2020). ZARA has determined to deliver new and innovative products to
their customer and that is why the floral printed trench coats have been a new feather in the
hat for them, Trench coats are still counted as one of the unique clothes in the UK and it is
more popular among women (Aftab
et al.
2018). ZARA’s direct competitor H&M is also in this
same market but after the negative effect of covid-19 two of the companies faced financial
losses in the fashion industry the current economic status of the UK is not also impressive so
the valuation of this industry has been reduced.
Issues and opportunities for the floral printed trench coat by ZARA including
social and ethical issues
The floral printed trench coat by ZARA is an eye-catching and fashionable garment that can
be worn for both formal and casual occasions. However, when considering the social and
ethical issues surrounding the product, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, in terms of
social issues, the production of trench coats involves the use of resources and by-products,
such as water and chemicals, which can potentially have an environmental impact.
Additionally, the production of the garment may involve child labour, as well as workers being
exposed to hazardous working conditions
(
Pontes
et al.
2020). In terms of ethical issues,
the trench coat may be made from leather or fur, which raises questions about animal
welfare and the use of animal-derived materials. Furthermore, the garment may be produced
in factories that lack health and safety regulations, as well as workers being paid less than
minimum wage (
Ruan
et al.
2022). For instance, ZARA could introduce renewable energy
sources to reduce its environmental impact, as well as ensure that all workers are paid a fair
wage and are provided with a safe working environment. Additionally, ZARA could switch to
using more sustainable materials, such as organic cotton and sustainable wool, to reduce its
environmental footprint.

Segmentation:
ZARA is famously known for its exclusive performance in Spain as it
provides quality clothes and apparel that are of premium quality. This is a well-known luxury
brand that is famous for its clothing styles for men, kids and women. The dresses that are
provided by the company include T-shirts, footwear accessories and even luggage. These all
include a part of the product strategy of the company and are also a part of the marketing
mix. Therefore, for segmentation, the company is majorly observed to focus on a
modernised way of presenting designs that are always collected in such a manner that looks
integrally towards presenting a refreshed category of clothing to its tentative clients (Dogan
et al.
2018). ZARA therefore successfully claims to provide a variety of styles and apparel
that allows customers to pick styles from. The accessibility of the product that is provided is
dependent on the preference scale of the target market (Zhu and Gao, 2019). Apart from
this, ZARA is also observed to focus on its market operation style by emphasising
sustainability in its products so that the company can successfully and intrinsically look over
the fact that it provides good quality goods and hence provides for optimum quality of
textiles.

Targeting:
The target customer for ZARA generally lies between 18 to 40 years and is also
observed to have an income that ranges from and medium to high income. Therefore, the
customers who are targeted by the company are based and observed according to the
different tastes and preferences of their fashion awareness. The individuals that are targeted
to overcome the hurdles and provide the clothing, are generally, busy individuals and are
taken into account for aiming at customers buying products on impulse (Chen, 2022).
Therefore, as it can be observed, ZARA takes special care and attention to the fact that
individual needs and preferences are taken optimum care of by the company. Therefore to
reach out to the market in an exclusive manner, the company focuses on its approach to
opening stores in areas which have high traffic and then providing them with assured quality
keeping in mind the regularity of the price that can be easily afforded (Segran, 2019).
Additionally to this, an organisation is also expected to have a recognition of the segment
members and hence establish segment profiles. To this note, ZARA is observed to use an
undifferentiated market segmentation but it also provides typical market segmentation to
young individuals as they are the more tentative and prospective customers of the company.

Positioning:
ZARA is observed to position itself in the market under the tagline of "cheap
quick fashion" as it proclaims to aim at catering to the needs of global customers in a
predominant manner (Zhu, 2022). ZARA has been observed to grow as a global brand and
the success of the company is highly dependent on the way the company performs to
establish itself under the high design profile designers, under the company's approach to
quick fashion. As a representation of that fast fashion, the rapid limitation has been observed
to make the company emphasise fast manufacturing and hence quick sale is also
guaranteed so that the response to the market demand is overlooked and catered to in a
synchronised manner (Yin, 2022). ZARA is observed not to spend much on its advertising
but is also noticed to have a massive social media following that leads to the excessive
working of the market tactics.
Part 4: Recommended extended marketing mix
Product mix of floral printed trench coat by ZARA
One of the prime policies of ZARA is their availability of stock throughout the year to cater to
the rising demand. ZARA aligns its belief with sustainability and is committed to creating
environment-friendly and low wastage of products. As ZARA is an ecologically conscious
brand it does not fail to impress the current generation of socially responsible consumers
(Rahman and Triyonowati, 2022). ZARA has grown its fan following through global
10
expansion and designing products to match the needs of customers in a wide range of
regions. ZARA’s floral printed trench coat products are high in fashion yet maintain the price
within the range. One of the specialities in its production is that it does not outsource any of
the products making the products within the control of the company. ZARA is highly vigilant
about what sells in the market and what does not, due to this the products that do not
receive a good response are instantly withdrawn from production to reduce production and
wastage and at the same time make space for a newer style (Zhu, 2022). Being an expert in
their field ZARA does not fail to combine modernism with the traditions of various regional
areas in making its floral printed trench coats.
The pricing strategy of the floral printed trench coat by ZARA
ZARA has kept its pricing strategy of floral printed trench coats to match the pockets of the
general public who wish to wear clothes with a premium finish and quality. ZARA saves a
huge chunk of money through advertisement and marketing that it invests to improve its
quality and applies the fund to research and development. ZARA should keep its prices for
floral printed trench coats quite low and gives tough competition to the other rival premium
and high-end fashion brands (Abdel-Jaber, 2021). ZARA has to keep an eye on its
overheads and improve its planning and execution so that the products can be priced down
to further improve its market share. ZARA should set pricing that is based on region and
country and also which gives tough competition to the rivals of the existing country
(Chunling, 2020). ZARA has various discount schemes which it uses timely to boost its sales
at the time. The sales are of various types and the percentage of sales varies from time to
time and depending on the occasion that brings more customers. However, it must be kept in
mind the pricing is still premium and not easily affordable for the general mass and students
who could opt for cheaper and more reasonable options (Chen, 2022). The floral printed
trench coats still make it a successful purchase as it fulfils its promise to match the high-
quality material of fabrics and design of the trench coat that the customers are extremely
satisfied to own.

Promotional strategy of flor
al printed trench coat by ZARA
ZARA’s owner never gives press interviews or organizes any press conferences same as
their competitors. Even though investing in advertising ZARA must always prefers to invest
in new outlets. This is why ZARA's advertisements do not appear on television. Although
they always try to suitable their store very popular and expensive points of cities, and in any
mall generally, their stores are always in front. And their outdoor advertisement like banners
and holding are catching the attention of everyone (Smelik, 2018). They should focus on
youths and working females, and it has a huge follower base on different social media
platforms. ZARA has a massive social media following. It has 30 million Facebook followers
and 45 million Instagram followers. It's worth noting that ZARA doesn't put its logo on their
products and ZARA believes they do not need a more promotional activity for attracting more
customers. But as per the increasing competition in the market, ZARA should also use
different social media platforms for product promotion (Chowdhury
et al.
2021). In terms of
attracting more UK customers, For the new product floral printed trench coat, ZARA should
run innovative and engaging online campaigns for attracting target customers. ZARA should
also invest in social media influencers for its product promotion. ZARA can also use different
social media marketing tools like email marketing, digital marketing, or online ads on

different apps or e-commerce platforms (Anguelov, 2021). For attracting more customers
and increase revenue share in the UK, ZARA should be focused on its customer’s choices
and demands.
Distribution Strategy of floral printed trench coat by ZARA
ZARA has a massive reach, with stores in over 90 countries and over 2200 outlets. ZARA
also operates its online store and is also available on different e-commerce platforms. It
follows the vertically integrated business. Effective supply chain management makes ZARA
more unique than others of its close competitors. It employs a one-of-a-kind business model,
where they launch products in a limited amount and for a very short period which is known
as the FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) strategy. This strategy helps to increase customers'
footfall in their stores regularly. Their store persons are very attentive to know the customer's
tastes and preferences and what they need (Cooke
et al.
2021). Once there was a pink scarf
campaign going on and their store person found this need, store managers send orders to
headquarters and within twice a week the pink scarf was available in their whole outlets the
world (Chen, 2022). Thus, it can be said that, ZARA has an effective supply chain system, so
for more expansion of business in the UK. For the new product of ZARA, the floral printed
trench coat ZARA should improve its delivery system too. ZARA can deliver products to
customers' homes with the help of the digital supply channel least they should start it from
London after that they can apply it in the entire UK (Yide, 2021). With digital supply, the
channel company must be focused on the physical supply chain system too. ZARA doing
well in terms of place or distribution strategy but still, they have lot many untapped areas
they can launch new stores in emerging markets.
Part 5: Discussion and implementation of the issues
The collaboration aspect of management that looks over the divisions of marketing,
manufacturing, financing and management is observed to provide the ZARA company with
typical challenges to face. The corporation might have the problem to face challenges that is
related to the introduction of floral printed trench coats, in the Spain industry of retail, which
in turn is to create confusion in the operation of the hr marketing sector due to a lack of
communication and collaboration, between different sets of organisational behaviour
(Ramlatchan
et al.
2018). Without the needed teamwork, collaboration is observed to
hamper the working capability of the firm and hence this results in the suffering of the
workflow.
Communications are observed to play a crucial role in the entire process of fostering
teamwork in the workplace therefore the issue faced regarding the working of teamwork, the
13
human workforce is observed to typically experience issues related to workload and
assistance in the process of introduction of new products (Li
et al.
2019). Therefore, to this
note, it can be added that the person should have the needed knowledge of using the orders
to provide the given set of results so that, it can justifyingly give appropriate results leading
to working of specialised qualities and hence create distinctive stuff.
Apart from this, issues are also faced in terms of the internal process of marketing which
might arise as a result of the new products that are observed to show an implementation of
new releases of products and services. It can be also stated that issues related to the
financial meltdown of results from the internal process of market competence might also
affect the integrity of the demand for the newly introduced set of floral printed trench coats
(Alzoubi
et al.
2022). Therefore, in addition to this, sufficient GR activities are also needed to
be taken care of to launch the new products so that the ZARA business is carried on, in a
synchronised way.
Part 6: Conclusion
From the above discussion, it can be concluded that the floral printed trench coats by ZARA
are expected to attract a wide range of customers. The floral printed trench coats add
another feather to ZARA's existing trench coat collections. However, ZARA must constantly
strive to expand its customer base while also keeping prices within the customers' reach and
with the same strategy to feel customer unique and trendy by their limited availability of
products. For their new product, ZARA should adopt a digital supply chain system in the UK.
They should also increase their customer reach via the adoption of different strategies. They
should also offer some after-sale services to make a good image in customers’ minds.
Similarly, the company can sustain a good employee management system. With the
continuous support and effort by the team of ZARA, This newly introduced product the floral
printed trench coats will get a good market potential same as others.
