Lululemon can attribute the impressive turn around in the quarter for executing its previously outlined strategy. Management reiterated that it will continue to focus on a more consolidated product line, with increased emphasis on women’s wear. This should help operational efficiency, and improve Lululemon to focus its branding.
The company has also emphasized improving their sales channels. Collaborating on both brick and mortar and their direct to consumer channels. Customers now have an option of buying their product online, and picking it up at the store.
Furthermore the company’s increased focus on the North American market,rather than spreading themselves out too thin by aggressive expansion into foreign markets, meant sales have seen an upswing in the current quarter. Regardless, the company continues to emphasis the Greater China market, and expansion into surrounding areas like Hong Kong. Furthermore, Lululemon has avoided making the mistakes it made in the North American markets, recognizing the need for a digital emphasis, as 400 million millennials in China are adept at using digital platforms to do their shopping.
