Product selection, fit and brand presentation influence the value proposition; stores and digital touchpoints shape channels and relationships; while inventory, retail locations, marketing partners and operating technology may affect activities, partnerships and costs.

Economic conditions can affect discretionary apparel spending and cost pressures. Social factors include changing preferences around comfort, inclusivity, fashion and shopping behaviour. Technological issues cover e-commerce, point-of-sale and inventory-management needs. Environmental analysis can examine materials, packaging, supply-chain expectations and waste concerns.

Opportunities and Threats are external: they may involve changing shopper preferences, digital retail possibilities, competitive pressure, cost volatility or regulatory expectations.
