Coach Inc Swot Analysis

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.

These catalogs will show you Coach's newest line of products where the consumer can look at the pictures of the line and select what item they would like to purchase. In the back of the catalogue you will find all the names of the styles and the prices that you would have to pay to purchase the product. A toll free number is also added on the back so you can call Coach and place an order over the phone so you don't even have to drive to a store to get the bag you want.
