Thank you all :)

Some of the answers are kind of ethnocentric but definitely useful!

However, im not sure about this, but is the word "Scandinavia" provocative? There is a lot of nationalism in this thread, but i assume you all know that close to no product is "All-American"?

I would love some more answers to the three questions :)

1st: make a survey, so it's easier to answer.
2nd: These guys aren't being serious, except for maybe the fact that shipping plays a role, it can outprice your gear at times.
3rd: Scandinavia doesn't provoke me, at least, and I think it could be a good name for a company that goes along with its name (promoting technical, yet stylish outerwear)

Also, try something new.

A survey does not allow a debate. Answers must be visible.
The purpose for the questions is not stated, besides the BA thesis :)

Regarding distribution - no problem. It is possible to design in Scandinavia and produce in US, other Europe, Asia and so on... There is also economies of scale and scope to consider if retailers are used as channel :) we wouldn't know yet :)

But thanks for the answer :)

Cold, wet and very beautiful nature, quite rugged and lots of nature

That would be sweet!! technical clothing with nice styling.

Advertising and not too high prices, AKA dont make it armani. But yeah advertising and portraying it as a steezy scandinavian company for high quality clothes would be a killer.

PS are you actually gonna make this company? I would be interested...

Thanks a lot :)
The company already exist in its best wellbeing, but if the company wants to go global, a new branding strategy might be necessary :) The company is one of my sponsors as a freeskier and surfer, which is why I found them obvious as a case for my thesis. :)
