Re: Female Purchasing Power
Today, women are the ones who make the choices when coming to making purchasing decisions in a household. Also, women are gaining control of wealth and purchasing power (Time Magazine, n.d.). Their spending power can change and should change how businesses market their companies. Places that may provide cars, electronics and traveling are mostly targeted for men and women that may be neglected in the development of these products and the marketing.

The best time to promote Victoria’s Secret would be in the afternoon, when women are getting home from work or out of school. They promote with young sexy models wearing their lingerie which may attract women because they want to look sexy like the models. Victoria’s Secret has it owns Victoria Secret Pressroom (vspressroom.com). This website has information on the latest styles, seasonal looks news, events and press releases.

Some of the strengths of Victoria’s Secret are that they are successful in advertising, they grab a women’s attention. It is one of the most preferred brands when dealing with lingerie. The business also provides a wide variety of products and sizes for women of all ages. Lastly, they have brand loyalty provided with comfort and style. Victoria’s Secret has weaknesses with their prices which may not be affordable to all women. They also do not provide enough advertising with their clothing department and they have a lack of stock in stores especially when it comes to bathing suits. However, Victoria’s Secret does gain opportunity because they and known and desired all around the world (Limited Brands, 2012). They also expanded their target market when opening the PINK merchandise to bring in

Fashion Nova targets women from teens to women in their 30’s. The reason why I don’t put a specific age range is because it varies. I could say 16-30 but there are women in their 40’s that are wearing it as well. In their website, they have described their target market as the following “The girls who rock our styles are adventurous, inspirational and badass. A Nova Star is always the best dressed girl in the room. Her confidence is what truly shines, but her Fashion Nova outfit adds that extra sparkle. We strive to provide awesome service, unbeatable prices and the hottest trends” (Fashionnova.com).

These customers are from upper-lower to middle class backgrounds and currently live in suburbs that are near major cities or urban areas near them. Their company is based on the trickle-down theory. Celebrities started wearing affordable clothes and people started to follow and believe that it was good quality which is what made the company succeed. Their target market can live anywhere from rural to suburban to major cities as I stated previously. It all varies on what they buy. They have a large stock
Victoria's Secret has a stronghold on the lingerie market. Its store sales this year brought in over $6.1 billion, Even so, some are saying that Victoria's Secret's explosive success might start tumbling because of the paramount demographic of millennials and their changing attitudes.

The catalog offers the latest in swimwear debuting many different styles, designs, colors and sizes. Personally, I enjoy flipping through the catalog and looking at the models clad in fashionable swimwear on beautiful beaches. However, Victoria’s Secret has been under backlash for their unrealistically thin models and the unrealistic representation of how the swimwear looks on the average woman. According to Business Insider, “ Women today have never felt stronger or sexier. They have single-handedly redefined sexy as a state of mind and not a specific dress size.
Victoria Secret is also a major brand that has been caught for having unethical work conductions for children. Victoria Secret only uses fairtrade cotton in their products to help make a better life for their workers in poor conditions. On their African farms, many of the fairtrade workers have companied about how there is a lack of funding and resources to make a decent living from the company. Not only that but a report came out that a 13-year-old girl was forced to sleep on plastic sheets and was beaten by her boss if she didn’t perform well enough at work.

Versus used the favored delegates to delineate how perfect the body of a woman who wore this brand could be. They without further ado give the fantasy of how you have to feel and look in your apparel remembering the final objective to offer. This technique has worked for quite a while in light of the way that there was nothing else like it. Regardless, starting late the association has continue running into an issue. Regardless of the way that the association has progressed presently, their message hasn't created, and this is transforming into an issue for the new millennial business
