Weaknesses
Strong brand ethos and branding around surrounding all their marketing outlets and products Wide and innovative product offering Daily Paper utilises the multichannel retailing strategy, through the means of different touchpoints; bricks and mortar, e-commerce channels or through their flagship/popup stores. Enabling them to meet modern expectations of consumer purchase Daily Paper have a large consumer reach internationally, having been sold in 29 countries in over 200 multi-brand stores.

It is apparent in the survey that Daily Paper doesn’t have strong brand awareness; 67% of respondents had never heard of the fashion brand. (See appendix 1) Fail to have a strong presence within the physical retail market (only having three flagship stores) Lack in influencer support, only through collaborations would Daily Paper be promoted by influencers or artists. Currently have no brand ambassadors Only a select number of products are sold through the mutli-brand stores, restricting the option of buying new stock or being forced to buy parts of collections or old seasons/ collections Most of the products sold through the multichannel brands are menswear, which then creates a message that the brand is mainly male focused.
Threats
Opportunities •

Celebrity endorsement/Influencer ambassadors Potential app development to increase the growth of their digital presence New collaborations with artists Expand upon their yearly pop-ups. Possible brand expansion within their retail spaces. Further extension on their new kidswear section

Strong competition from competitors within the luxury streetwear sector Fails to have a staple presence within the international luxury market. Saturated market COVID-19 has been a threat to many fashion businesses, which has ultimately decreased consumer purchase. There is an increased demand for experiential consumption. This trend is boosting sales focusing on consumer experience (Bremner and Boumphrey, 2017).
