Mission Statement
Executive Summary
“ True Luxury requires genuine
materials and the craftsman’s
sincerity. It is only meaningful
when it respects tradition.”
- Christian Dior
Christian Dior Group is a solid, affluent and highly achieved luxury brand. Under LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis
Vuitton, the Dior brand is characterized by outstanding resilience in an economic climate of such monetary
uncertainty. Christian Dior aligns itself with the principles of quality, alliance, tradition, and innovation. Dior’s market
responsiveness (especially as it pertains to retail) is highly action-oriented, thanks to their talented team ambitions.
There are many Dior Key Success Factors that contribute to this world-renowned success. These include: quality,
an entrepreneurial spirit, the strive to pass on expertise, brand exclusivity, and the drive to surpass themselves.
The value of quality is highly appreciated throughout the country of Sweden, and Christian Dior is a brand that
encompasses that. Sweden - a country of tremendous innovation rooted in folklore tradition - will prove to be a
promising environment for a brand with such entrepreneurial spirit. Dior seeks to inspire, and they have the financial
and artistic means to do so.
However, for plans of new international retailing, results are subject to various types of uncertainties that don’t have
to be accounted for in homeland-national territory. For Dior, these include changes in customer purchasing power,
the value of operation assets located abroad, economic changes that are not necessarily simultaneous from one
geographic location to another, and provisions of corporate or tax law, customs regulations or import restrictions
imposed by some countries that may penalize Dior.
Other, less fiscal risks and threats to take into account include vast cultural differences between France and
Sweden, an inability to timely identify a Swedish target market and individual target customer, and seasonality
concerns.
Fortunately, the plan to open the pop-up shop during Christmas time will serve as an excellent opportunity to cater
to such an unidentified target market’s tastes and behaviors. The Christian Dior Brand does not currently operate
anywhere in Sweden. The opportunity to open a store in the country’s capital is an exciting new opportunity.
Starting smaller with an impermanent Christmas season pop-up shop will surely add a new air of excitement and
lust after the Dior brand and their beautiful, timeless pieces. Dior has stood the test of time, through innovation,
expansion and transformation. Sweden will welcome Dior’s elegance warmly, even during such fiercely cold
months.

Dior Business Model
From Single Brand to Luxury Conglomerate
Christian Dior defined a new business model in the post-war years, establishing Ready-to-Wear boutiques
and licensing deals; his designs were coped and sold in the USA as well as Europe. Many consider Dior’s
model to be a forerunner of fast luxury fashion. Now, Dior is divided by the Couture Management Group and
the LVMH Management Group. Creative Director Raf Simons has complete freedom over Dior’s designs.
Dior Ready-to-Wear, Accessories, and Beauty have a simple yet broad Business Model. Dior sells RTW,
Accessories and Beauty mainly through Dior flagships around the world. Select Dior accessories are
sold in department stores such as Bergdorf Goodman and Barneys NY. Select Dior beauty is sold in
department stores such as Macy’s and Bloomingdales, as well as at Sephora.
Dior has also opened concept shops, such as the Dior Homme boutique on 30 Avenue Montaigne in
Paris, instilled by previous designer Hedi Slimane.
Dior makes most of their profit from licensing agreements, cosmetics, perfume, and accessories. With the
influence of couture houses and designers changing over time, only a small clientele can afford the time
and expense demanded by true couture clothing.
Therefore, Dior has adopted a business model that allows them to generate most profit off of smaller accessory
goods and beauty products via wholesale channels and Dior flagships (Basics Fashion Management 101).

Company Profile
Current Position
Dior is the ultimate symbol of Elegance, Excellence and Luxury. In the 21st
Century, Dior continues to define elegance and style with the same audacity that
inspired Monsieur Dior when he launched his house.

Lady Dior bag to the Dior VIII watch and Bois de Rose jewelry, the Dior Addict
lipstick and the best selling J’adore perfume, DIOR’s creations constitute an

Distribution
Annual Spending Figures
Dior has distribution in 6 continents, 44 countries, totaling 146 doors.
All accessories are under licensing agreement as well as the ready-to-wear collection,
which is manufactured under license in the United States, Canada, and
Japan.

Dior Advertising
Campaigns
Dior puts exceptional effort into strategizing the way they advertise. They strategize their advertising
methods through their campaigns, digital magazine, YouTube channel, IPhone app, and their social
media sites; Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
When it comes to campaigning, Dior pursues in-style celebrities to model their latest and greatest
achievements at the time. In their latest campaign, “Be Dior,” Dior decided to use twenty four year old
actress, Jennifer Lawrence. In the campaign shot by photographer Paolo Roversi, Lawrence poses in
sleek Dior dresses with minimal makeup to capture the “natural aura of Jennifer Lawrence” (Kinonen).
Dior features these campaigns within all of their advertising methods. Dior’s magazine and iPhone app
brings the latest and the best ranging from runway shows, make-up items, perfumes, skincare products,
ready-to-wear collections, and watches.
Direct Marketing Initiatives
Dior’s latest direct marketing initiative includes an interactive mobile-to-desktop tactic between
their website and iPhone app. This initiative works by entering a device-specific four-digit
code found on their mobile website for WonDiorland. By using this tactic the Dior consumer
can come across further content refined from the brand’s latest fragrance, Dior addict. This
direct marketing initiative coordinates with Dior’s developing approach for their fragrance
launch and not only encourages consumer interaction within the brand’s online platforms but
also accommodates them with exclusive Dior content using a community based campaign
(Barkho).

Market Analysis
P.E.S.T.E.L.
Change took place in the Swedish fashion
industry around the start of the Millenium.
A new generation of architects, chefs, and

Sweden: Industry Analysis
Stockholm
The Swedish fashion industry continues to grow with total sales amounting to 237 billion kronor
in 2013, exports counting for 62% of this figure. (Boost for Swedish Fashion Industry Abroad)
Sweden is an export dependent country, with more than half of what Sweden produces being
exports. In 2011 sales totaled SEK 206 billion, however of this number only 83 billion are sold
in the domestic market. Although the fashion industry in Sweden continues to grow in size,
so does the amount of exports. Exports in Sweden attribute to 60% of the sales, while 40%
remain domestic. The high ratio of exports to the domestic market is primarily due to H&M.
The Swedish global company exports approximately 94% of sales. (Portnoff)
Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and the most populous city in the Nordic region with a
total population of 2.2 million in the metropolitan area. Stockholm is the cultural, political, and
economic center of Sweden, encompassing over one third of the country’s GDP.
In recent years tourism has played a big part in Stockholm sales. Stockholm County is
ranked as the 10th largest visitor destination in Europe with over 10 million commercial
overnight stays per year. (Welcome to the Capital of Scandinavia)
Including H&M
Excluding H&M

Key Players
Stockholm houses some of Sweden’s most stylish shops
and boutiques showcasing innovative Scandanavian
design. Swedish culture is very tradition based and therefore
Stockholm has lots of vintage fashion and antique stores. In
terms of luxury brands and designers Stockholm has
high-end department stores as well as retailers that carry
designer brands. Brick and mortar
designer shops are less frequent because the antique stores
or traditional Swedish boutiques stand on there own, rather
than the luxury designers.
Nathalie Schuterman - An exclusive boutique that
stocks high-end international designers such as: 3.1
Philip Lim, Bottega Veneta, Miu Miu and Christian
Louboutin.
Nordiska Kompaniet - A luxury department store
that has all the must-have Scandinavian fashion
pieces as well as international designers.
Anna Holtblad - Known as one of the pioneers of
contemporary Swedish fashion. Over the past two decades
Holtblad has stayed true to her idea of timeless Scandinavian
fashion. Her price ranges from a loose fitting t-shirt at SEK
766 to a Mohair blend coat at SEK 4,196.
Sturegallerian - One of the most exclusive shopping
malls in Sweden. Sturegallerian has over 50 luxury
boutiques and gourmet restaurants. It’s a favorite of
Stockholm’s elite and royalty is often seem shopping
here.

Functionality & Affordability
Consumer Demographic
The fashion industry in Sweden has always been ahead of its time. When designers were still putting large logos on garments
in the 1990’s Sweden began producing functional everyday wear, making Swedish fashion cool. Brands like Acne and Cheap
Monday came on the scene with huge popularity because they created clothing the young generation could afford.
Michael Elmenbeck, one of the curators and founders of Bon Magazine stated:
“We wanted fashion we could afford. I guess it is part of our socialist heritage. Just look at H&M and IKEA, it has shaped us.”
H & M is still synonymous with Swedish fashion today because of the functional, trendy, and affordable pieces it offers. (Dagliden)
Sustainability
Sustainability has become very important to Swedish fashion designers.
Gudren Sjoden is a pioneer of sustainable fashion focusing on using textiles and natural materials that fit all ages and figures.
Shoe Company, Swedish Hasbeens, entered the market in 2006 producing sustainable handmade collections in small factories,
emphasizing respect for people and the environment. (Swedish Fashion From Catwalk to Sidewalk)
Blogging
Yvan Rodic, a regular attendee of Stockholm Fashion Week, says the country’s blogging culture contributed to its global success.
“Sweden is a pioneering country when it comes to blogging,” he says. “In the last decade, people from around the world have
started looking at Swedish blogs for inspiration -- mostly to enjoy the photos since they don’t necessarily understand the language.”
Readers have then been educated on the brands and how to create outfits without spending a fortune. “I think this was a perfect
match for the world of blogging since it promotes individuality and helped Sweden become a mini phenomenon in fashion,” Rodic
says. (Stenman)
Being that our Dior pop up shop is being held in Sweden, we wanted
to focus on the luxurious Swedes born in the later millennial generation,
also known as Generation x consumers, and the baby boomers as our
target customers. The Sweden population is estimated to be 9,723,809
people with 1, 385,000 of those people making up the Stockholm
population. 50.9% of the Sweden population is between the ages of
25 to 64. The median age in Sweden is 41 years old with a population
growth rate of 0.79% (Sweden).
As for the baby boomer generation, 77 million people were born
between 1946 and 1964. This baby boomer age group is greater in
terms of size and percent of the population in the U.S. for the first time
ever. The 55 and over age group authorizes more than three-fourths
of wealth. The boomer median family net worth is three times higher
than younger generations and they have an average annual disposable
income of $24,000. Baby boomers outspend all other generations by
an estimated $400 billion dollars each year on consumer goods and
services (Resources). Generation x adults range in age from 30-44
years old. In 2009, the total population of this generation was a total of
49,660,301 people. The median household income for the generation
x consumer is $73,601 between the ages of 30 to 34, while the
median household income for ages 35 to 39 and ages 40 to 44 range
from $81,107 and $84,278 (Demographic). 33% of consumers believe
that a household income of more than $250,000 is what is necessary
to consider themselves as “wealthy” consumers (Who). Consumers,
who make $200,000 annually, spent $141 per month on apparel items
for themselves. 60,000,000 consumers earn more than $100,000 a
year while 80,000,000 consumers earn less than that. According to
the Cotton Incorporated Lifestyle Monitor Survey, 23% of consumers
bought luxury apparel in 2014 (Keeping).
For our pop up shop in Stockholm, Sweden, we at Dior believe
that these demographics fit our consumer and believe that our consumer
will help constitute a successful pop up shop.

Consumer Lifestyle
Stockholm Consumer Lifestyles
Sweden continues to lead in Western
Europe when adopting the internet.
When looking towards the fashion
industry this has put brick and mortar
stores under an increasing amount of
pressure because internet retailing is
flourishing. Consumers are engaging
in “showrooming” - where they can
inspect a product in store before
purchasing later online.
Additionally Sweden is leading the
world in “M-Commerce” (Mobile
Commerce). The Economist
newspaper noted that “97% of Swedish mobile phone users could pay for goods at participating
businesses.” Sweden has shown that m-commerce can be safe and easy, something that has previously
prevented it’s adoption in the past.
This has also lead swedes to go completely cashless. The Swedish consumer is a huge fan of payment
cards, so much so that large bank branches and even some retailers are completely cashless. In 2010
shops have been prohibited from adding a surcharge for use of a payment card which has encouraged this
trend. Some worry that this will leave the less fortunate consumers without a payment card behind, however
with 95% of Swedish consumers having a bank account this is not likely. (Consumer Lifestyles in Sweden)

Consumer Psychographic
Sales Potential
Our Consumer is Geographically located in Stockholm while purchasing our products. They are also international cultural travelers from
all over the world.
Our Dior consumer has many Interests. They are an avid shopper, reader, fashion blogger, and traveler. They value art and fashion as
a hobby, making their purchasing motives fashion forward.
Dior makes our customers Opinions & Beliefs show by wearing the clothing. They enjoy designer and luxury items where price
sensitivity does not exist. They believe that Dior makes a statement, it’s sophisticated, and projects a confident self-image.
The consumer wearing Dior has many quality Personality traits. They are admirable, elegant, educated, mature, and sophisticated.
These customers are loyal to the brand, and they buy different items across the product range.
Behavioral Information
Our customer grew up in the age of advancing technology. The Specific Technology Usage of our consumer is growing. As a millennial,
they are constantly using these devices in their favor for shopping, blogging, and social media purposes. They are a social generation
who socialized while consuming products, media and services. It has been predicted that in 2015, millennial annual spending will
grow to $1.4 trillion by 2020, representing 30% of all retail sales. Online shopping, shopping from mobile devices, and preferences
for “new entries to the marketplace” over established brands, will continue to grow and challenge existing retailers (The Year of the
Millennial 2015 Predictions).
The Shopping Habits of our consumer is not only growing on an e-commerce basis, but also in brick-and-mortar stores. Studies have
shown that millennial’s prefer tangible products. Companies that offer an online and physical location provide millennial’s with what
they want, and when they want it.
In Stockholm, Sweden, consumers purchase products based off of sufficient information stating if their purchase will be a reasonable
necessity. Since they’re buying limited products and consuming less, the value of the purchase is important to them. This key trait
gives luxury brands like Dior an advantage over other businesses because they offer the high quality, one of a kind products Swedish
customers are looking for.
The biggest selling period in Stockholm is between Christmas and New Years. Mellandagarn, which means
“Middle Days,” is the best shopping week in all of Sweden. Stores drop their prices significantly to get rid of
excess stock after Christmas. During this time signs are everywhere saying, “REA!” meaning sale in Swedish,
alerting consumers of the low prices. (Naughton)
Estimating Competition
Dior’s pop-up shop will be placed in the exclusive shopping district in Stockholm dating back to 1855.
Bibliotekstan is home to international and Scandinavian high-end design boutiques. Although this will drive
more foot traffic into our store, this also increases our competition. Our direct competitors will be neighboring
shops: Louis Vuitton, Prada, Burberry, Michael Kors, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Stella McCartney.
Area Attractions
A great place to shop luxury designers is in Bibliotekstan. Stockholm’s most affluent shopping district is found
in the downtown area named Bibliotekstan. This area is home to Scandinavian luxury designers as well as
international boutiques. This area will draw in a lot of foot traffic during the holiday season for natives as well
as tourists.
The area is very well organized with the positioning of the international and Scandinavian luxury designers,
sportswear, accessories, restaurants, and cafes. The city also offers many tours of the location to help
consumers navigate the area and get the most out of their shopping day.

Area Factors
With an expected population rise of 200,000 inhabitants between 2000 and 2030, Stockholm is committed to creating a sustainable
community and reducing CO2 emissions to zero by 2050.
>> Focusing urban development near transit stations has been a priority in Stockholm. Along these stations, the city is broken up into many
compact, self-sufficient districts that contain homes and a wide variety of businesses. These districts are mixed-use, with workplaces and shops
built close to residential areas.
Pedestrian Traffic: Over the last 15 years, Stockholm has cut pedestrian deaths by 31% and overall traffic deaths by 45%. Last year, Stockholm
city suffered only six traffic deaths, or about 1 per 150,000 residents.
>> The congestion charge has reduced traffic in the city center by 15%-20% or approximately 100,000 trips. Travel times have reduced 30-50%.
CO2 emissions have, however, decreased by far less since there has been a slight increase in the suburbs. (Eco Mobility)
Public Transportation: Stockholm’s public transit network consists of three metro lines, three shuttle trains, two local train connection lines, three
light rail lines, 17 bus routes, and an inner-city boat. A single ticket system is valid for all systems throughout the city. The city has coordinated
schedules between all modes, to minimize waiting time. The central train station is the hub where all public transport lines meet.
- Car journeys by county residents across the charging zone have declined, and journeys by public transport have increased.
- Stockholm is often praised for its comfortable, efficient and safe transportation.
>> Stockholders are always heedful of their beautiful surroundings, and this has led to many inner city buses running on Eco-friendly fuels such
as ethanol. The Stockholm underground is also known as the world’s longest art gallery as so many of its stations are adorned with the works of
different artists. (Eco Mobility)
Vehicular Transportation / Parking: Stockholm Parking has 22 park-and-ride facilities strategically placed around Stockholm outside of the
congestion fee toll area. These facilities are easy to find and rather inexpensive to use – the parking fee for the whole day is usually only 20SEK.
You can find all the information you need about our park-and ride facilities by going on their website. (Stockholder)
Infrastructure: Sweden possesses a modern transportation network, regarded as a vital component of equitable wealth distribution. Sweden’s
energy sector is strong, with energy production and usage per capita being among the highest in Europe. Sweden is among the world’s leaders
in information technology, computer hardware, software, and services. It has the highest number of phone lines (combined fixed and mobile) per
capita, as well as the highest percentage of Internet users in the world. (Eco Mobility)

Human Resources
Strategic Process Plan
>> Sweden has hundreds of thousands of the most luxurious, innovative architecture and contacting firms in the world.
>> For Swedes, sustainability is not just a construction initiative, but it is a way of life.
>> By 2022, a completely new city will have grown up around Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The goal is to create an environmental technology
center to bring together research, innovation and established companies in the field of sustainability and environmental technology. The environmental
profile of this new district is based on the extensive climate work already being carried out at Arland. (Sweden.se)
Legal Issues
>> As the European Union is a Customs Union, goods can be bought from other member countries without restrictions - although VAT and
excise duty can still apply.
>> Sweden is a member of the WTO
>> Swedish Consumer Agency is a Swedish Government Agency that answers to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and all Consumer Affairs
with a National Board for consumer Complaints (located in Stockholm). Its main task is to issue non-binding recommendations on the resolution
of disputes between consumers and business operators. A person can, free of charge, file complaints against a company. If the company does
not follow the recommendation from ARN, the consumer has the possibility to take the matter to court. (Sweden.se)

enhancing customer experience with our Christmas themed space. Since this is a holiday pop-up shop, the
design of the space invites customers inside with an extravagant facade, visually appealing open box window
displays, and an entry way that leads through a Dior Christmas art display that provides customers with the
ultimate Christmas shopping experience.
Our store atmosphere is lightly enhanced with Dior scents, and soft Swedish holiday music that offers familiarity
with the brand to connect with the customer. The interior space is designed with visual customization in mind,
focusing on appropriate light fixtures, furniture, flooring materials, and decor that flows with our Christmas
aesthetic. The physicality and environment of this retail space stimulates each customer by providing a tactile,
sophisticated interior where every object adds a purposeful touch.
The floor plan of Dior’s pop-up shop is designed for a ground level space in the luxurious Stockholm area
Bibliotekstan. Customers must venture through the opulent entrance that then leads them to the open floor
plan where merchandise and customer service departments are located. The free-flow layout allows customer
traffic to flow in an unstructured manner, although merchandise is strategically categorized with appropriate
space for maximum product exposure and customer convenience. Merchandise is presented using an ideaoriented
presentation technique. This plan offers flexibility to our customers while also encourages impulse
buying and browsing.
The Safety, Security, and Asset Protection is assessed by incorporating security personnel at the entrance.
The construction of the space took the knowledge of deviant behavior in mind by designing the entire space
to be seen visually, at all times. The space in the store is limited, and only a small amount of merchandise
is being sold which makes theft less of a factor. Bibliotekstan also implements appropriate security systems
within all of their retail spaces.

Appendix
Written Rational (Communication & Promotional Plan)
The pre-launch for Dior’s Stockholm holiday pop-up begins two months prior to the opening of the store. During this time, Dior will be advertising
the shop on their social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, E-commerce, smart phone app, and Blog.) There will be a short promotional video
made during our pre-launch that will be posted throughout the entire duration of our pop-up through various social media networks. In addition
to using social media, advertisements will also be placed in one of the most commonly read magazine in Sweden - Sweden’s ELLE Magazine
during September, and November (ELLE Magazine Advertising.)
Based off of our customers daily transportation activities, there will be outdoor promotion on the outside of local public buses during our prelaunch
as well as while the store is open to invite any gift buyers (Bus Advertising Prices and options.)
There will be a personalized promotional gift basket of Dior makeup products sent to important personnel including: elite customers, magazine
editors, high profile bloggers, and celebrities in the surrounding area. Within the basket, there will be an invitation to the Grand Opening cocktail
party which will be held the night before opening day in December.
All of our customers will receive a limited addition Dior Christmas Ornament with their purchase.

Written Rational (Financial Analysis)
To begin, we determined an average of 1000 footfall per day based on the area we are located in. This gave us a number of 2000 in foot traffic
for month one, and 4000 in month two. The first month has a lower conversion rate of only 10% of total footfall per day in the area because
consumers are still learning about the boutique, whereas in month two we have a 20% conversion rate because the consumers are more aware of
our location and shop. Additionally we will be open 20 days out of each month, so the final equation used to determine the foot traffic per month
was total foot traffic per day in the area (1000) multiplied by 20 (days we are open in a month) multiplied by the conversion rate.
We came about our average basket figure from first determining average prices of our products sold, and then determining on average what
consumers would buy day to day. For example we have our wealthier consumer who is buying Dior’s high end jewelry, and then we also have the
consumer on a budget who might just stop in to buy Dior’s perfume or a lipstick. From this analysis we determined 10 baskets (see appendix)
and then found the average price of all 10 baskets. After finding our basket pricing we found our total monthly revenues from multiplying our dayto-day
footfall (2000 for month one) by a conversion rate, and then by the average basket per month. Again the conversion rate was higher in the
second month because consumers are more aware of the boutique.
Lastly, we found our cost of goods sold by multiplying our revenue by 40% because our markup is at 60%.
After finding the pricing of our goods, revenues, and percentages per product category, we dove into other costs we might need. This includes
but is not limited to: hotel and air fare, legal permits, iPads for sales associates, interior fixtures, rent, wages, and logistics. Please see the
appendix for all reasoning and citations for our pricing.
