Liana is specifically founded to provide daily wear options to young university and office going girls; therefore, we understand their need of buying stuff that is both adorable and affordable. This is the very reason we have kept the prices of our frocks in between 3000 to 6500 pkr, as compared to the ones being sold by our competitors whose starting prices are 6000 and 7000 rupees and go up till 12000 rupees. A commitment to providing modern and modish clothing options for young girls that are affordable as well without any compromise on the quality is the foundation of our brand Liana. With the focus on fulfilling the styling and dressing expectations of young girls, this report articulates the vision, mission and execution strategy that will maximize brand's success probability online.
