  10. PPLL - Company Mission____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Victoria’s Secret - part of Limited Brands: • Committed to growth (of business) and creation of shareholder value This is achieved by: • Increasing the presence of Victoria’s Secret brands via stores, catalogs, e-commerce, distribution channels, social networking, magazines and media marketing

  11. PPLL - Company Mission ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Victoria’s Secret – Personal Mission: Deliver a best-in-class, captivating, branded, customer experience that builds loyalty and enables consistent sales and profit growth.

  12. PPLL - Market Situation____________________________________________________________ _______________ • Victoria Secret’s PINK brand targets younger females (primarily teens and early 20’s) • We plan to introduce the new dog accessories under the PINK brand as the Pink Puppy Love Line (PPLL) • A selection of trendy and fashionable brand name dog accessories are currently not available in retail stores.

  13. PPLL – MARKET OPPORTUNITIES______________________________________________________________________________________ • There are currently about 34 million people aged 12-19 in the US. Roughly half are females. • Teens age 12-19 spent approximately $250 billion in 2007. About 1/3 of this was spent on fashion. • E-commerce and promotion by social networking is increasing rapidly. This can help increase sales to males and other dog lovers who don’t wish to shop in a Victoria’s Secret store. • The Pink Puppy Love Line offers mascot-sized versions of the products. Dog lovers who are not able to own dogs can buy Pink’s dog mascots and PPLL products.

  14. PPLL– MARKET THREATS______________________________________________________________________________________ • The weak US economy – declining sales: • Female baby boomers spend less money on fashion for themselves and their young daughters. • Sales in malls have decreased nationwide. • Victoria’s Secret is in a highly competitive market. Department stores, mail-order companies and online businesses are able to offer lower prices and attract customers when money is tight. • Hard to know how the Pink Puppy Love line will attract established Victoria Secret customers and non-customers. Minimize risk with excellent promotion and early test marketing in a few stores.

  15. PPLL – COMPETITIVE STRENGTH_______________________________________________________________________________________ • Victoria Secret/PINK is a leading, prestigious brand. • PPLL can build on the world famous runway shows for lingerie and swimwear with dog-related runway shows. • PPLL means selling high quality, higher priced products. There will be limited competition from competitors selling lower quality products. • Victoria’s Secret has stayed competitive through extensive product innovation and marketing. The Pink Puppy Love line follows this recipe for success.

  16. PPLL – COMPETITIVE WEAKNESS_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ • Victoria’s Secret is experiencing somewhat increased debt, lower profits and less cash flow • Introducing PPLL may reduce sales from apparel (less square feet in stores) • Large number of suppliers, difficult to ensure consistent quality and time of delivery • The young work force at V.S. may reduce productivity (absenteeism, tardiness)

  17. PPLL – OVERALL GOALS ______________________________________________________________________________________________ • Create a new line of attractive dog products and accessories for the Pink brand – the Pink Puppy Love Line • Open the Pink brand up for future innovation and expansion into other products
