recognized in India and abroad. Woodland is an Indian Brand and

The logo of Woodland was a status symbol during the nineties.
The brand is excellent in quality and styling. The brand carefully
presented itself as an outdoor trekking kind of shoe which captured
the imagination of Indian youth True to its price, the brand delivered
its promise on quality which ensured that the brand is perceived as a
value for money brand. Woodland has extended itself to accessories
and apparels. Earlier Woodland tried its hand in the formal shoe
category with the brand Woods but it did not make much impact in
that market.
The careful branding has helped the brand to garner about 40%
of the premium casual shoe market. But this market is witnessing lots
of competition with global brands flexing its muscle in India.
Woodland is a household brand with over 200 exclusive stores across
the Indian Sub-continent in addition to a distribution networkcovering over a thousand stores across the country.

STRENGTHS:-
The strength of the companys production with in its
captive facilities allows Woodland to produce
aesthetically designed, sturdy and durable shoes.

keep on changing their footwear frequently having
been fed up with the same design.
The athletic and leather shoes do start getting dented
within a year.
The price offered by woodland shoes is quite
expensive.
As they are more into formal shoes so youngsters are
less attracted.
Woodland has limited number of outlets.
7/29/2019 4. WOODLAND1
25/39
limitations
They can expand their market more by covering and focusing on
developing areas such as Navi Mumbai.
They also have a great scope to expand their market in sports
footwear.
They can also target higher middle class people by launching
new range of shoes between Rs. 750 to Rs. 1000.
As they mainly deal in leather shoes so, they can also enter into
manufacturing of all seasons shoes especially water proof shoes.
They should increase the number of production units to earn
more profits.

well as unorganized sector.
In organized sector following are the brands:-
Metro
Bata
Red tape

SUGGESTIONS
They should start manufacturing sports shoes as they can easily
sustain in that market. Sports shoes have a good demand now days.
They should increase the number of their outlets. At present
they have only 200 outlets in the country
They should the price of the product. The existing price of the
product is very high and thus the middle class people cant afford
that product.
They should come up with more variety of woman footwear as
the prevailing designs are not up to the mark.
They should work more upon their promotional efforts.
7/29/2019 4. WOODLAND1
38/39
CONCLUSION
Woodland has slowly but steadily carved its place in the world
of shoes.
They are well-known brand in mens footwear.
Because of many other big brands in the market woodland shoes
should come up with new marketing strategy.
They should opt for product development to sustain in the global
market.
7/29/2019 4. WOODLAND1
39/39
Elasticity of demand
As woodland shoes are expensive people take it as luxurious
goods, so the demand is relatively elastic.
It can be predicted that an increase in income of the people can
make the demand relatively inelastic.
