Introduction
Zara has remained one of the top selling
ands in clothing. It is symbolic to the lifestyle choices of people of all classes these days. The following is the extension of the marketing strategy of the Zara clothes, new product line launched for the young customers.
Marketing Strategy: Product
As per the SWOT analysis presented, the final product will be the upper clothing line targeted for young customers with age range of 18 to 30 years. The young adults see vi
ant colours, mixed expressions portrayed through abstract images over the front and back of the upper clothing; ranges as well as they wish to wear something unique here. Thus, this product will be available with specific notions depicted over the clothes such as T Shirts and high neck short shirts with open or tucking both kinds of options available (Duoyan, XXXXXXXXXXThe T-shirts will be available in both types, the short and long ones. At the same time, these shirts will be subjected to any customization, which the customer would demand. For example, if there is anything specific in mind of the customer, he or she will have the option of getting the same printed over the shirt (Duoyan, 2021).
Marketing Strategy: Pricing
As per the pricing, Zara upper clothing will cover two segments; one will be semi-premium and the second one will be premium. The semi-premium range will be available with a price range of $40 to $70. Any additional price of customization will be available at the cost of $25 per print of the word or image. The premium range of product will start from $ 70 to $140 with customization range of $25 per word or picture. All of these shirts will be available at major Zara outlets across nation.
Marketing Strategy: Distribution
The listing of the products will be catalogued with the outlets and there will be promotional hoardings outside the outlets as well as in all major cities of Canada (Duoyan, 2021).
Marketing Strategy: Promotion
As mentioned above, the promotion of new cloth line will start from the Zara outlets only. The local media resources will be used to ensure that the awareness about the particular product reaches out to the young customers. Additionally, social media campaigns will play crucial role in promotional activities. These will be like organizing contests, promotional exercises about winning one of the products or about seeking the knowledge and awareness of the Zara
and among the local young populations. This is more like understanding the level of awareness through online campaigns to access the maximum number of population.
Marketing Strategy: IEC
Clearly, the company has a well-thought-out logistics plan. Zara assures its consumers flexibility in the variety, amount, and regularity of innovative styles because it has an in-house production system where it designs and produces its attractive apparel. Another competitive edge the company has over its competitors in terms of distribution is its well-coordinated allotment system, in which certain commodities are produced for specific retail shops based on demand in that store (Sukma & Srimulyo, XXXXXXXXXXH&M and Topshop have only just managed to gain such an advantage. Zara, on the other hand, has the capacity to spot chances in sti
ing fashion trends. Zara's competitive edge over its competitors is based on effective promotion techniques and a well-balanced promotion mix (Sukma & Srimulyo, 2020).
Conclusion
Summing up the above, despite the fierce competition from Mango, Benetton, H&M, and Topshop, its items have a fair market share. Zara has transformed the fashion business by utilising a rapid fashion strategy and democratising dressmaking, resulting in trendy and affordable goods for the public.

Mission Statement
The mission of Zara is to give designers options to their customers before anyone could else give them.
The new product idea of introducing rented designer clothes to student aligns well with the mission statement of the company. Until now, no one in the market is offering this service. The product range, which Zara offers, does not offer rent option. The designers, which are heavy on pocket and cannot be afforded by students and working professionals will take the advantage of this new offering. They can wear designer dresses in pocket friendly prices and Zara could even maintain the lead in the same as being the first one to offer it.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths:
The advantage, which ZARA enjoys, is of being a pioneer in the industry and looked after as a provider of fast moving fashion (Martin Roll, XXXXXXXXXXDue to presence of high number of stores (96 in 200 countries) across the globe, the supply chain management is optimized. It has proven that within 48 hours changed fashion reach to its stores.
Weaknesses:
As the diversification line is new it need to pull new designs form designer labels very quickly while making sure their business is not hampered with rented one. It needs to set its foot in US and Asia market to attract the target segment (Ha, 2021).
Opportunities:
The rented business is new and not opted for any bigger
and yet; it has high growth potential especially among segment, which has need. The sustainability is also ensured and it will help its 3R’s campaign as well. The resale market is estimated to be $30 billion and expected to increase two fold by 2023. The technique of influential marketing can also be helpful during promotions.
Threats:
It has competition with Chinese enterprise Shein not only in terms of mobile app downloads but also in the arena of price. The pandemic and the social distancing can be a challenge and it need to work on hygiene of the dresses, which will be given on rent.
