QVC: Plus Size Strategic Roadmap
Business Opportunity:
2015 saw a huge explosion in the Plus Size Apparel industry. QVC has always been a leader in this category, offering every single apparel item in sizes XS – 3X. And, unlike our competitors, we don’t charge extra for the larger sizes.
Knowing our advantage, QVC’s Merchandising team turned to us to help define a roadmap to grow the category.
In just 3 months we defined a 4-year strategy to grow the business from where it is today to a point where we can gain new customers across many age groups.
