CASH FLOW
For the past 3 years since 2007, Polo RL's net income has been somewhat consistent at around $400,000-$420,000 annually; This is good being that the retail sales market has declined due to the recession. A key factor has been an increase in the percentage of sales
MARKETING
CUSTOMER AWARENESS/CONNECTING WITH THE CUSTOMERS
From a personal experience, I really think polo connects with its customers in many reasons because you are allowed to give your input for certain styles of clothing and if it makes the cut then you are certain to see what you designed in stores. Also, if you go to the company website then you will see that you are able to create your own type, color, or style on certain items and you will be able to customized it with whatever writing that your prefer, and I cant think of any other clothing lines that offers that to their customers and I may not seem like much but that is huge when you are a fashion addict like myself.

ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES OF BUSINESSES
Being that Europe is the cornerstone of the polo brand expansion, when they purchased Poloco for $200 Million, they knew that was just what the company needed in order to conquer the European market and also help with the growth in the United States; This is sure to gain new revenue and profit stream
FRANCHISING
Polo is the brand name of the Polo Ralph Lauren company. It comes from a popular sport that Ralph Lauren loves. Polo is a team sport played on horseback in which the objective is to score goals against an opposing team. The Polo Ralph Lauren symbol with the man on the horse relates to the sport itself.

Polo Ralph Lauren's revenues topped $4.8 billion in fiscal 2009 (ended March 28, 2009).[1] In response to the poor economic conditions in the United States and European economies, the company has cut costs and inventories in order to prevent markdowns that would only decrease its net profits
Polo participates and contributes to many charities and fund raisers. Like, the Pink Pony Women's clothing line which supports programs associated with breast cancer prevention. And the company just had a long running offer for the earthquake in Haiti, to offer 100% proceeds when you purchased certain items on their website.
