    Myntra offline @LogicserveDigi

    To push its profits, Myntra, an app-based fashion retailer, is counting on its in-house brands at the time when local e-tailers are under stress to chop off their cash burns and earn some profits.

    Among more than dozen of Myntra’s own labels, Roadster, one of the top selling brand, in this year, clocked sales of Rs. 320 Crore and eyes to become Rs. 650 Crore ( $100 million) brand by 2016. After Roadster, brands such as Dressberry, All About You, and HRX are the highest grossing in-house labels.

    Acquired by Flipkart last year, Myntra clocks more than Rs. 700 Crore in sales from all its in-house brands and is geared up to end the year at $550 million in GMV (Gross Merchandise Value).

    Focussing on in-house labels online, Myntra has put its labels in direct competition with brick and mortar stores such as Lifestyle, Shoppers Stop, Spencers and Future Group.

    According to Anant Narayanan, Myntra’s CEO, by 2016 the firm expects to collect in around Rs. 2000 Crore from its in-house brands, a timeline when it plans to strike Rs. 6500 Crore ($1 Bn) in GMV.

    Considering the leadership position Myntra enjoys in the fashion and lifestyle market, experts said that a successful private label strategy will allow the e-tailer to benefit from the margins in the range of 40-50%.

  • News: Myntra Wants Margins Up to 38 – 40% from its E-retailers

    Myntra wants margins @LogicserveDigi

    Currently, enjoying a Numero Uno position in the fashion e-space, Myntra is seeking out more margins from its e-retailers. Myntra is known to have demanded margins of up to 36 – 40% from the previous margins of 28– 32% from e-retailers and thus making them feel uncomfortable.

    Several e-retailers selling fashion accessories, apparel, footwear and lifestyle products to Myntra have been approached by them with similar demands. Most of these e-retailers are solely dependent on online volume sales for their existence. On the other hand, brick and mortar franchises operate at margins in the range of 30-35%.

    Also, since these ecommerce giants need to earn decent profits for sustenance whilst offering attractive discounts to their shoppers, it is these vendors who have to cough up decent margins for continuing their business. Most vendors are in a tight spot and wary of the usual sales pressure tactics undertaken by these ecommerce giants.

    LogicSpeak:

    With fashion e-retail going big ways, it is time ecommerce giants work on ways to generate profits by setting in place a cost effective supply chain and reducing marketing and staff expenses rather than hiking margins from their vendors. Ecommerce giants and vendors need to work towards evolving a mutually beneficial work relationship for each other’s sustenance in the future.
