comp shop FRA | Page 3

INTRODUCTION The comp shop commenced on the 11th November 2016. Although it was 7 degrees, the sun was shinning and oxford street was booming with tourists. I’m carrying out a comp shop to identify how COS’ competitors are performing in the current market. The brands I will be visiting are COS’ direct competitors, ZARA and Reiss. However, COS does have an online competitor, this being ASOS. Finally, I will also be focusing on the aspirational brands that COS products reflect, but have a higher pricing architecture.
