The economic situation of teens and tweens is on the rise and they are able and willing to spend more money on Pink products.
2. The main aspirational groups for the Victoria's Secret Pink line comprise of teen and tweens who are now found to be in a hurry to transform into maturity lifestyles and leaving behind childlike ways.

Pink is encouraging young girls to dress more mature and bypass traditional images.
3. Parents feel that they have to spend a lot of money annually buying Pink’s products for the young consumers. This can be negative since most teens do not have the income to buy for themselves.
