The world is changing and the senior market is no exception to the rule. On average, life expectancy has increased by 1 month every year for 30 years and has stabilized today at 85 for women who make up Damartex’s core target. This evolution represents a significant growth potential on a segment of clientele that the Group and its brands master fully.

Longer life expectancy and home care have created new requirements for seniors.Damartex’s purpose is to satisfy its customers desires while helping them remain on trendwhatever their age. Thanks to its knowledge of the 55+ market, each brand provides solutions adapted to each customer segment,from younger to older seniors.

DAMARTEX GROUP 55+06AN OMNI-CHANNEL STRATEGY

The concept of Omni-channel is a core component of Damartex’s strategy. The idea is to offer more choice to the customer by adapting the distribution channels to her habits and lifestyle.

The Damartex Group relies on the specifics of each channel which come into play differently according to the Brand and Country. So the customer can discover the full offer in the catalogue, order online at any time (via a tablet or PC), buy the product from a store or collect at a specified pick up point. This approach allows us to develop a 360° relationship with our customers.

“We are present where the customer is expecting us.”

“As seniors are searching for new experiences, they use innovative technology.

The 55+ segment is the segment that boasts the highest growth rate

for e-commerce.”

E-commerce has imposed itself as a true growth lever for Damartex with ambitions to continue at the same pace for the years to come.

E-commerce is a major instrument to recruit new customers, develop brand awareness, communicate values or invest new markets. “The web allows us to adapt to the evolution of our customers’ behaviours by offering them a unique, interactive buying experience, which benefits our other marketing channels of catalogues and stores. This translates into product advice or outfit suggestions to which are added the immediate availability of items, secure payments and order follow-up” stated the international e-commerce Director.

The web is also an outstanding communication tool that contributes to enhancing the image of the brand with senior customers thanks to added visibility on social media and the mass availability of tablets and smartphones.

“Senior customers are looking for a closer relationship with the brand,

and also more service and advice.”

FASHION DESIGNER’S KNOW-HOW

In 1974, a workwear manufacturer came up with the idea of selling a specific collection to artisans’ wives:this is how La Maison du Jersey came to be.

As specialists of upper market ready-to-wear, La Maison du Jersey claims a fashion designer’s know-how. With well-fitting patterns, a wide range of sizes, attractive materials essentially produced in France and Italy, careful finishes and quality accessories, each garment signed by “La Maison du Jersey” enhances the personality and the figure of the woman who wears it.

The concept of the brand relies on the offer of elegant outfits dedicated to demanding customers. Without claiming to be fundamentally fashionable, La Maison du Jersey has attracted its customers by offering on-trend, full outfits.

DAMARTEX GROUP 55+22

The Damartex group closed the 2015/2016 fiscal year with a turnover standing at €717.3 million in an economic environment which remains difficult, despite low positive signals observed over the last few months. This performance is connected to several factors which make the strength of the group:

. The distribution of the sales over 8 brands grouped into 2 complementary activities namely “Textile” and “Home & Lifestyle*” that each provide a specific solution to one of our customer segments. The “Home & Lifestyle*” market, which is a genuine growth lever, has gained strength with the acquisition of Coopers of Stortford in 2013 and Vivadia in 2016. Today, this activity accounts for 13.4% of the Group’s turnover.

. International presence which allows the group to dampen the crisis phenomena linked to markets: the share of turnover abroad represents 41%.

. A differentiated, omni-channel strategy that offers the possibility to balance out the activity and to benefit from growth drivers. The Web channel represents €64 million of turnover (8.9% of the Group’s total) and has seen significant growth. Stores represent a quarter of the turnover.

The Damartex group’s strategy has helped keep results positive over the last 3 years in a context of recurring recessions.It is characterized by the following elements:. A very fine management of its commercial, distribution and structure costs;

. Targeted acquisitions of companies with positive contribution that provide a better coverage of the market, an established know-how, and diversified sources of revenue. With this in mind, the acquisition of Coopers of Stortford in 2013 contributed to results and to an increase in the activity on the Home & Lifestyle market on which the Group was already present.

In spite of the unfavourable environment, particularly in France, the Group has remained profitable and has closed the last fiscal year with a current operating income of €21.6 million.
