KAPPAHL

 

Vision

“KappAhl is to be the leading and most profitable fashion chain in the Nordic area for the customer group aged 30–50.” This is the vision that drives KappAhl forward. It says where we are heading and what we are striving for together. All our day-to-day activities are to lead ultimately towards the vision. Each initiative, each change, each decision.

 

Mission

KappAhl’s mission is “Value-for-money fashion with wide appeal’’. It is the company’s task to give people the opportunity to be well dressed. When customers have shopped at KappAhl they should feel fashionably dressed and that they have spent their money wisely.

 

Strategy

KappAhl’s strategy is aimed at earnings growth and improved profitability.
The strategy consists of:
• expanding the store network,
• continually upgrading stores,
• increasing sales in existing stores,
• using economies of scale in the business model.

 

Market

KappAhl sells clothes in the fashion markets of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Poland. The company’s single largest market is Sweden. The total value of KappAhl’s market at the beginning of 2009 was SEK 194 billion after several years of good growth.

 

Customers

KappAhl sells fashion for the whole family, but the main target group is women aged 30 to 50 who buy for all members of the family. KappAhl devotes considerable resources to understanding customers and their circumstances. KappAhl monitors fashion trends and adapts them to products that meet customers’ needs. This customer focus is an important reason why KappAhl is one of the largest womenswear retailers in the Nordic region and why the company is also forging ahead in childrenswear and menswear.
