SWOT ANALYSIS: Coach has many internal and external factors to consider when coming up with a SWOT analysis. The first strength of Coach that I will elaborate on is their great multi-channel retail network. A multi-channel retailer is a company that sells directly to the public via more than one distribution channel. Coach reaches its consumer through a number of different channels. The easiest to reach of all channels will have to be their store fronts, where the consumer can walk into their stores take a look at the actual product and decide if they would like to purchase the product. Also included in their store front channel would be their wholesale accounts. Their second channel is their mail ordered catalog which usually ships out …show more content…
Coach’s next strength would have to be their strong financial performance. For the last eight years Coach has reported an increase in net income, which is very hard to believe considering the hard economic times that have fallen over us the last year. It just goes to show that even in hard times women will still buy there expensive luxury bags, which brings me to my final strength. Coach’s most important strength is their strong loyal customer fan base. As I said above, when all signs point to a recession and yet your company is still bringing in a profit the only thing that can account for this is the fact that your loyal customers are still going out buying the Coach product. Coach’s loyal customers are going to be the ones that push the company through these tough economic times. Weakness is not something that any company would like to have, but all companies have them. Best thing to do is to locate those weaknesses and come up with solutions to get rid of them. One of Coach’s weakness factors is their high level of inventory. Coach produces more products then is actually demanded. The high rate of product releases creates a higher inventory of unsold or overstocked merchandise. Therefore a majority of their sales are made from their factory outlet stores where their product is sold at a discount. Coach said that it has been seeing slower sales at its

A second strength would be an individualized consideration provided to each team member with a focus on self-interest which as a key advantage to accomplishing good work. My team trusts my guidance as their leader because they know that in the end I have their success as individuals in mind. Over time I have proven to them that I have no personal agenda to adhere to and therefore the decisions I make with regard to them are solely for their benefit. I am able to delegate tasks to individuals that I believe are willing and excited to accept the task at hand, whether they believe they are ready or not. It is my belief in others to rise to any challenge that fuels my strength as a leader. Only when they do not succeed, do I find it necessary to intervene and take action. This foundation of trust is also vital to my success as a leader.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a successful track coach and coach your protégés to a successful season? Through job shadowing, personal experience, and research, I have found out just how much hard work goes into coaching.
One night in 1981, Jeff Munks, a police office in San Jose, CA responded to an urgent call and arrived at a residence where a Vietnamese immigrant who spoke no English was screaming and waving his arms agitatedly. Next to him, his son was having trouble breathing. After Jeff guessed what had been happening and immediately called for an ambulance, he kept thinking about emergency situations where danger is exacerbated because of a language barrier. This resulted in Telephone Interpretation being offered since that year. This service connects trained interpreters via telephone to Limited English Proficient (LEP) Individuals. Cyracom International is one of those companies that provide critical
Coach has a very strong brand image. They continue to gain new customers and because of devotion and loyalty they are able to keep repeat customers. Brand image can be considered everything to customers when searching for a handbag. Industries that manufacture handbags must be able to provide what is considered a “chic service”, while continuing a “thriving business” (Foster, 2006). Due to the brand image that Coach has they are able to introduce new and more risky handbags with the confidence that most current consumers will continue to purchase their
A marketing strategy is important for any product, and a big part of that strategy is the distribution elements and channels (Distribution, 2009; Marketing, 2011; Timberlake, 2012). Coach is very selective about how they distribute their products. They have authorized stores and outlet stores, as well as catalogs and a company website (Coach, 2012). They also allow some department stores to carry their products, as well as catalogues and specialty stores (Coach, 2012). A few duty free locations also have Coach bags (Coach, 2012). This is clearly stated on their website in an effort to dissuade people from purchasing a Coach handbag in a way that is illegal. It can also help prevent people from purchasing something they think is a Coach handbag but finding out later it is a copy or a fake. The target market for Coach is generally upscale, so Coach does not want the less expensive chain retailers carrying its product. There should be some exclusively with the Coach brand, and that can only be created and maintained by controlling what stores and locations can carry the Coach brand. Doing this allows the company better marketability when targeting specific groups or areas of a target market, such as upscale consumers.

The coach is focussed, determined, tenacious, hard – even ruthless- but never cruel. His resolve to overcome all obstacles and challenges in pursuit of the agreed goal is unshakeable. No matter how many setbacks, he has the resilience to keep coming back, to keep fighting. He always has heart for the fight. He persistently seeks for the advantage and no matter how small that is, he will seize it and maximise its value. He is devoted to
