This master thesis project has the objective to develop an applied project for the Spanish footwear brand – MARYPAZ. We intend to implement new merchandising strategies not only in stores that already exist in Portugal, but also, new ones to be created in our territory. In this project, we have studied the footwear market in order to understand what could be our opportunities and our main treats in the sector, and therefore, how could be our approach to gain ground in the Portuguese market. Accordingly, we have identified, through an online survey, our respondents’ purchasing habits in general, and additionally, their preferences regarding the layout of a store. Based on these results, we were able to create a marketing plan that will respond to our audience’s needs. A marketing strategy was planned and marketing-mix elements were designed to formulate a new store concept that will renew MARYPAZ’s image and, consequently, restore brand’s recognition and make it more competitive. Having these components well established, we can proceed with the implementation of our project.
