3. Target market

Actively transform to get rid of imitation and low price impression

According to a report released by the us research institute NPD Group, Nike and its brand
Jordan are still winning the top spot in the sneaker market with a high of 62 percent.What is
more striking about this report, however, is that Skechers, a sports casual brand, has gone
beyond the inclusion of Adidas, Under Armour...And other brands have made a leap into the
second place in the sneaker market.

Pursuit of growth in the Wall Street journal noted that were positive with a series of
epidemic and design feeling extremely casual shoes ahead of many big brands, the us
investment bank Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley analysts in a report on "were is a
company that at present the most undervalued by the market, its performance evaluation is
more outstanding than on the market" to describe the potential of the enterprise.
Skechers, from a previously unknown footwear and now a rival to Nike in the sneaker
market, sounds unfamiliar.Were, in fact, was born in 1992, its brand name is derived from
the southern California slang, means "young people" sit still, the light from this point it's not
hard to see the brand at the beginning of the creation with fashionable as a core, and lively
young people as the idea of target customers.

On the boots were started, was established in a few years later it gradually extends to other
shoe styles, however, it maybe some disgraceful, the brand to be good at copying designer
at the time of famous designer shoes, at the same time also is able to provide for such cheap
fake goods, so the lower-middle class consumers welcome.

The brand appeal with comfortable core is close to market trend

Until 2009, when certain fitness trends were chosen to operating center biased toward
sports leisure market gradually, at the same time also decided to get rid of has long been
considered to be "imitating famous brand design" brand impression, in an attempt to
depend on oneself to cultivate the ability and resources to launch the independent design
and brand style of sports shoes, and truly become a unique personality and appearance of
the brand;Adjustment, in addition to product surface were also on hand to alter the global
marketing strategies and marketing layout, and constantly committed to the supply side and
manufacturing process more hasten is perfect, in order to through diversification, and
extensive customer base, to provide market more efficiently complete product line.

In the process of this period of transition, were first launched in the us is given priority to
with toning, fitness, and other functions of series of products, at the same time, on the basis
of the commodity sale to slow running shoes, sports shoes, such as shoe money appeared,
thus becoming a sports brand appeal and comfortable as the core, and in 2014 set the
record sales of $24 billion.

Wall Street journal's comment, were popular can benefit from the prosperity of sports
leisure trend in recent years, because there are many consumers whether they really going
to sport, will want to buy can reference with movement of clothing products, and were not
only with other attaches great importance to the appearance and extreme emphasis on
motor function of brand slightly, is comfortable as a source of word of mouth, lays its
diverse range of products and styles, such as jogging shoes, leisure canvas shoes, fashion
leisure shoes...Etc., more precisely in line with individual needs of different consumers.

American Business website Business Insider reports, since 2005, the average of the masses
to join running every year 9% growth, especially the younger generation is more than diet
believe that sports can bring better health effects, resulting in sportswear and supplies are
expected to be one of the most potential industry in the next five years.Analysts at Morgan
Stanley went further, adding that leisure and comfort would be the driving force behind a
trend of fashion trends that would really drive consumers to pay for their purchases.
Even so, will Skechers be able to shake off other rivals' catch-up and stride to the top of the
sport in the face of a distant gap with Nike?How should the brand make its positioning more
clear between sport and leisure?This will test Skechers's wisdom and also the key to its
ability to keep moving forward!

COMPETITOR ANALYSIS

In July 2015, China's domestic A stock market lost 15 trillion yuan in three weeks, and the
Shanghai composite index fell 30 percent. If you shift your perspective to the east coast of
the United States, the New York stock exchange has a stock that looks bright. It's Skechers.

Last July, Skechers (nyse: SKX) shares were up at $53.43, nearly seven times more than in
2011. Even from the middle of last year to the current decline, share prices have risen by
more than 300 per cent since the start of 2011.

NPD, the us consumer goods market, last year released data on the market share of sneaker
market, and Skechers became the second largest sneaker brand in the us after Nike, with a
market share of more than 5 per cent. Of course, Nike's dominance is still very strong, with a
62% share, and Under Armour, with only about 3% of the company, is also well regarded.

Therefore, we can compare the current situation of these three companies from the
perspective of capital market. Under Armour has the highest price-to-earnings ratio, at 77
times, and Nike's p/e ratio is nearly double that of Skechers, to 26 times. If you look at the
EV multiplier, Skechers is also the lowest, EV/Rev is close to one (actually 1.2 x).

In terms of diluted EPS, Skechers also has a compound average growth of nearly 200% in
nearly four years. Combining were now has $2015 in fiscal 2015 sales revenue, the
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3% within five years, it should be said that were
short-term market value has been underestimated in the capital markets, combined with its
future growth prospects, it will continue to be athletic shoes industry in nyse dark horse.

In addition to the diversified development of shoe style, Skechers' success depends on its
excellent wholesale customers and retail store model. In just one year, Skechers launched a
global distributor strategy, setting up an international division of distributors in Australia,
New Zealand and Singapore, and successfully starting to move into the world. In 2002,
Skechers built a 24,000-square-foot warehouse in the Belgian capital to meet market
demand for direct sales across Europe.

Skechers also did the same in the Asian market. In 2007, the company established a joint
venture with Hong Kong liantai company, skic China LTD., and began to make a big push into
the Chinese mainland market. In August 2012, Skechers carried out China's strategic
activities and cooperated with goodbaby group to make goodchild the exclusive online and
offline agent for Skechers children's series in mainland China. Goodbaby, China's largest
retailer of children's goods, has a strong distribution network, which has allowed Skechers to
quickly open up its children's market in China. Entering the mainland market for five years,
we have been rapidly entering the first line of shopping malls and department stores. In
2014, Skechers saw sales growth of 12% in China.
Skechers, it must be said, is a way to get the world market in a planned way by building
wholesale and retail sales across the country, and that is why it is relatively cheap.
