Levi Strauss hopes Beyoncé deal will pay off

A declaration endorsed by the board stated: "Service levels have improved and confidence from customers and consumers in our ability to be a reliable partner should increase further in 2025.

"Traffic has been flattish overall or even in decline during the current year and a consistent trend of bargain hunting is still directing price-sensitive consumers more to outlets rather than mainline stores.

"The outlet business is however a highly professionalised and profitable business model for us and hence bears more opportunities than risks.

"While consumers are still attracted by special offers and the ability to swiftly compare prices across platforms out new brand ambassador Beyonce with whom we launched a global marketing campaign in 2024 to last for 12 months is expected to boost brand awareness and should allow us to reduce promotional activities both on and offline."
