Bebe • Founded by Manny Mashouf and opened the first Bebe store in San Francisco. • Target market is women between the ages of 21 to 34 • Bebe’s competitors Guess and Nordstrom • Bebe designs and develops the majority of their products; tops, separates, dresses and active ware, in house
Market Analysis • Bebe, Inc. has a relatively small target consumer group, which has led to the lack of brand presence. • The consumers can be segmented into three basic subgroups: (1) the women at the high end of the age range who has shopped Bebe for several years and who is a fan of the core career items; (2) the fashion-forward customer looking for contemporary apparel (novelty separates, knits and novelty jackets); and (3) the "aspirational" customer at the low end of the age range who primarily purchases lower ticket items • Overall, bebe targets a hip, sexy, sophisticated, body conscious woman who takes pride in her appearance
SWOT Analysis Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats
