marketing strategies that compete intensively in the clothes retail
industry. One of them is a prudent investment in 
promotions and advertising. The company has chosen the field of
advertising the online platform where ads and special offers appear
on the screens frequently. It not only enhances brand awareness but
keeps people informed about its promotions, discounts, new
collections, or just motivates them to make purchases via online or
offline means.

popular and financially stable is the pricing enterprises. H&M
differentiates its brand by virtue of proposing low prices for high
quality and design products. The company wins the pricing battle

twice expensive. This is due to their focus on cost minimization in
terms of manufacturing and transportation.
