NAPLES, FL-Mall-based specialty retailer Aeropostale plans a brand-building 2006 with a refocused assortment of merchandise and a new ticketing strategy it hopes will drive customers through the door, the company says.

“We’re going to invest in the building of the future,” chairman and chief executive officer Julian R. Geiger told participants at Thursday’s 2006 ICR XChange Conference Presentation in Naples, FL.

For Aeropostale, that means refocusing its assortment of clothing and accessories geared toward the 11- to 18-year-old group by upgrading its selection to include more trendy fashions at better price points. A new line of fashion styles dubbed Veneer should help, the company said. Also planned is an alignment of Aeropostale’s marketing and design departments to forge a working relationship that will keep the company on track with the latest fashion trends.
