TOMS had a million dollar loan due in Credit rating agencies expected it wouldn't be able to pay up. So, is this the end for TOMS? So, TOMS is definitely looking to rebuild itself. But is there a place for it? Russ Winer: TOMS biggest obstacle right now is just the fact that there is so much competition in the shoe business and some brands have in fact gone bankrupt. If you look at brands like Rock Port, right?
Which is a well known brand, take a look at Pay Less Shoes which is a retailer. There's just a lot of competition in this market and very difficult to make a sustainable business. Russ Winer: I think the smartest strategy for TOMS right now actually is to focus less on the corporate social responsibility angle and focus more on product.
I think they need to develop more product variety, styles, colors that consumers want to buy and I think that's the area they should focus on. Russ Winer: A lot of successful brands that started as direct to consumer like Warby Parker, like a Casper, like others, Bonobos for example, started only direct to consumer, went to retail, gave their customers a chance to again experience the brand and today, brand experience is extremely important for consumers to have a strong affinity of the brand.
I think TOMS has to do more of that. Narrator: But even if TOMS isn't able to recreate it's original success, it still made a lasting impact on the worlds of business and fashion. Brands having a social mission might be commonplace today, but TOMS was the one that made it mainstream.
