PESTEL+C [PES]Political• The political environment does not have
an impact on water sports
Economic• Recession has had a negative impact on
the number of people vacationing• Fishing and general boating are less
expensive and will be less affected• However, our segment has a relatively
high income and may not be as affected by recessions
Social• Survivalists place emphasis on safety by
preparing for disasters to keep their families safe
• Safety is an important part of a survivalist’s life, so the emphasis on the safety of the life jacket will go hand in hand with their views

SWOT
• Body Glove is a well-known brand with the resources to develop a new innovative product
• Already established distribution channels• Brand name is currently associated with quality, durability,
and comfort
• Grow the market share by offering an improved product aimed at children
• Gain a new market segment by marketing to survivalists• Ability to become an innovator in quality child customizable
swimwear with a unique product• Grow distribution channels through Dick’s Sporting Goods
• While the company has many options for adult life jackets the current children’s selection is very small
• Currently they are not marketing to children• The company currently focuses on specialty
sports instead of general water activities
• Competitors can imitate the product by offering their own versions of custom child gear
• Larger companies with greater resources can develop the idea further
• May not be as well-known to people living away from the coast
• Neoprene already exists as a material for life jackets
