DKS competitive advantage comprises of its prominence on high-performance products intended for serious enthusiasts or athletes, rather than cheaper items for casual participants. Nonetheless, one can purchase the goods at certain skill and price levels. However, the focus of DKS on higher price, higher quality items make it more lucrative than its rivals. It also reduces the competition DKS faces from other competitors in the sporting goods and broad merchandise retailers who never share that emphasis. Not astoundingly then DKS is all in when it relates to omnichannel. The retailer has embraced fulfillment and sales efforts like buy online-pickup in store, in-store takings for online purchases, and endless aisle scheme that, for instance permit staff to place

The women's apparel market is highly competitive. With the launch of a new active-wear line from Harrington Collection's, more and more competitors will start to realise the potential value in in producing an active-wear line of their own. The active-wear market is growing so rapidly (expected to double turnover from 2007 to 2009), that eventually all of Harrington's competitors would likely be expected to launch a line of their own, relying on existing brand loyalty and high-scale advertising campaigns to capture market share and move units.

Lululemon is a large company, making clothing for athletic activities, not only are they in the women’s athletic range, but they have hit the men’s market and youth range as well. A SWOT analysis will be used to break down Lululemons strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to the business. Strengths which Lululemon have achieved include multi-faceted and community-based approach strategy, making customers feel part of a community through marketing strategies like there “ambassador program, social media, in-store community boards and grassroots initiatives” (Lululemon, 2016 Annual Report, 2016, p. 3).

At some point in one’s life, he or she gets introduced to sports which have become a staple in society around the world. For example, most countries have a national team for different sports such as soccer, volleyball, and baseball. There are many companies like Addis, Reebok, and Asics that produce sportswear for every sport imaginable. Two of the biggest sportswear companies are Nike and Under Armour. Athletes and non-athletes all over the world use Nike and Under Armour products every day.

Given the strength and rapid growth of online retailers coupled with the national brands attempting to decrease their dependency on middlemen retailers, Dick’s must consider a strategy that ensures their continued relevance and dominance in their respective industry. Attempting to go against Amazon or other large online-only retailers would place Dick’s at a disadvantage given that their overhead costs will never be as low as the companies that do not need to hold and operate prime retail real-estate. For the aforementioned reason, this report advises against committing excessive resources towards the development of the e-commerce platform, DicksSportingGoods.com. Similarly, the focused expansion of private labels may not necessarily achieve long-term market relevance for Dick’s in the sporting goods industry. Furthermore, aggressive expansion within the private label sphere may alienate current key partners, such as Nike and Under Armour, which would be detrimental to Dick’s revenue streams both in the short- and long-term.

When a brand is created, many will ask the questions that haunt all of us trying to start a company. Will it work? Should we stay online or launch a brick-and-mortar store? Will I make profit or fail? These questions arise even more when the company is to start only online. Because of this, e-commerce fashion brands must constantly evolve and expand their styles to maintain the interest of their target customers.

Unfortunately, many online retailers have begun to catch up with many of these core competencies. The concepts of next-day delivery and “above and beyond” customer service are no longer the “WOW” factors that they may have been five years ago. However, the relationships that make up “Powered by Zappos” are tough to beat and give the company a competitive advantage through its supply web. At the time of this case, Zappos still holds the niche of being an online shoe expert, but companies

Secondly, another challenge is to increase brand awareness and connect Decathlon China with its customers. To begin, we can see that no efforts are done to bring consumers to the Decathlon’s official website. As a result, Decathlon China should use specific online forums about sports, where people usually tell their purchasing experiences, ask questions, etc. and where Decathlon China could use banners to be visible and attractive. Decathlon China could also hire an employee who will be charged to share its “purchasing experiences at Decathlon China”, so as to convince people to have a closer look at Decathlon China when they are looking for sporting goods. In the same time, we can see that the competition is highly using social media to connect with their customers. Accordingly, Decathlon China should create a company fan page on Chinese local social media, and more specifically, Renren and Sina Weibo, as its target audience usually hang out on these social media. The Decathlon fan page should inform potential consumers, bring them to the official website, but also allow consumers to interact, ask questions directly to Decathlon. As a consequence, Decathlon China should also hire few employees to update its fan page frequently and answer very quickly to the questions of potential consumers to show their reactivity.
