  11. Weaknesses • Established target market • Not open to growth • Response to consumers • Need to be more present in the “conversation” online

  12. Opportunities • Annual Fashion Show-Utilize social media more-Blends in, not separate

  13. Threats • Public and the media criticize VS for promoting unattainable thinness with the prestigious “angels” • Fashion show provokes numerous complaints about it being indecent or obscene and could get fined by the FCC • Selling a provocative image that could offend certain people

  14. Recommendations • On Twitter and Facebook they should directly respond to their fans/followers on a more regular basis. • Redesign VS home page to make the Facebook link more prominent and visible, rather than in the bottom right hand corner. • Create a blog dedicated to directly communicating with customers to answer questions, solve issues in store and online, etc. • Let customers know about coupon scams that spread through social media and how they can spot fake discounts. • Participate in the conversation with influential bloggers who talk about Victoria’s Secret.
