4. Fragrance Industry Challenges: Consumer spending is down. Sales are down. A global economy teetering on recovery. Retailers are limiting space and inventory. Retailers are restructuring the in-store experience (CVS 360, Duane Reade Look Boutique, Sephora and Department Stores revamp). Changing consumer demographics. Changing consumer tastes. Growing consumer awareness of harmful beauty ingredients. Growing consumer awareness of green and sustainable efforts. Niche brands have entered the competitive market Clothing Retailers have entered the market (Gap, Banana Republic) Cotys Objective: Develop a new, innovative, and unique fragrance concept considering Cotys position in the industry and current market challenges.
