Uniqueness of our products

In our Elegance wear fashion company we strive to be above the rest hence want to produce truly unique attire than our competitors when it comes to cocktail dresses and evening wear. This involves the strategy of making our designs not only in pure western style but also with some unique touches from the East whereby eastern meets western. This involves importing Indian materials and fabrics that will be used in making our dresses. Some Indian touch will be added to our western attires of simple silhouettes like a modern cocktail dress with some nicely colored Indian fabric like that of Indian saris. This will make our dresses unique and open to various cultures who consider some western designs very revealing.

Help

The market:

Fashion has changed over the years and has been transformed through its licensing system from a small scale system to global one. A major difference in fashion during the 1950s from that of nowadays was dress codes and specifying the right attire for time and place. For example, throughout the decade fashionable middleclass women wore a hat almost every day and to be seen without a hat was inappropriate dressing (Pozaman 2010).

The current market is more conscious and has a wider range of attire to choose from. This is mainly due to technological advancements and specialization in the industry. Designing of clothes has become computerized consequently more designs. There is also cut throat competition from the service providers which mean that customers have many options to choose from.

Fashion trends tell a lot about the perceived character and social status of a person. Therefore, people are more particular about what they buy to wear. The wealthy, high end market, would want to look classy and sophisticated. They will want to buy expensive clothing. (Steele 2010).

The market in the fashion industry has grown and the size of the market matters. The main target market for our Elegance wear company is women who are more aware of fashion than men. Our goal is to increase the size of this market and the more women customers we get all over the world the more we anticipate reaching our goals which are to be a top notch fashion house.

However with every business there are challenges and the major challenge in fashion is competition. In our case since we are beginners our major are Kate Spade fashions, Vera Wang designs, Calvin Klein, Bill Blass fashions and many others. These fashion giant industries are the major sources of competitions. They offer slightly more expensive clothing and attire but customers prefer them since they offer quality products that are durable and are owned by the best designers in America like for example Calvin Klein. Their products are quality like the Gucci, Versace, Prada outfits. These materials are expensive to buy and make quality cocktail, evening dresses. The evidence of  the demand of such attires is like for example Gucci which has taken the whole world by storm from Gucci shoes, bags, jackets, caps and hats, belts, trousers and many others. Almost every individual and potential wants or is seeking something Gucci. So the market out there in the fashion industry is very competitive. Many designers all over the world for example Indian designers have been influenced by western culture and forgetting their own unique designs. So in our company as western designers, we will do the unusual and we will involve some Indian fabrics and material that will add an exquisite touch to our attires and make them acceptable to our culture and many cultures all over the world.

The marketing strategy:

This is the most important part of this paper. The marketing strategy is the one that differentiates high fliers and very successful companies like Calvin Klein in the fashion industry and the unsuccessful fashion houses. So our business, Elegance wear fashions should have a genius marketing strategy plan, target the high end market and be very successful.

The Elegance company has a very good market strategy plan. First of all it targets most the middle aged people, men and women who love class but everybody is wanted at Elegance Company regardless of age. The primary customer is a woman who is professional with a household income of about $10,000 monthly.

To begin with in designing our market strategy we will prepare open end questionnaires for our potential customers all over the world and also as many designers and interested designers we can find in all the continents. We will also visit various institutions and countries that are developing well in fashion. The questions will be in the English language or structured in the language of a specific country like for example Dubai where the writings are in Arabic. They will be straight forward and in yes/no format that need little explanation where necessary and this will offer a good market analysis and also customer preference analysis globally. For example do you think Elegance wears stands a chance? What do you think Elegance Wears should do to be successful? What other products would you like for us to bring to satisfy you as our customer? and many other questions.

VIP support

VIP support ensures that your enquiries will be answered immediately by our Support Team. Extra attention is guaranteed.

We will also conduct some research through interviews of interested parties and know what people like to wear in different parts of the world and why. This will help a long way in making our company successful.

Thorough survey will also be made on the best and well established fashion companies in the world where some marketing scouts will be sent to survey other potential competitors and major competitors. They are to give a detailed analysis of what they saw and the information they were able to obtain especially on our range of products that are cocktail dresses, evening wear and Jewellery.

Effective research on the internet will be done by our IT department where an extensive search will be made of fashion companies not just in the country but worldwide. This will help in getting new ideas and expounding on them to come up with something we will consider unique of our own as the fashion industry keeps having new innovations with every year. Fashion comes and goes like for example the best cocktail dress that was in fashion 5years ago has ceased to exist since it has been surpassed by the latest innovated fashions. By this our company has included Indian fabrics and materials to add a unique touch to our attires.

We will also have our artists who draw our designs prepare sketches of our soon to be fashion line and post them on our website to attract great designers from the outside world. This is a good market strategy since great designers love good sketches that are innovative and will contact any potential partners.

The marketing strategy is also to involve advertisement whereby commercials will be done and aired on national television in specific countries to advertise our products . There will also be posters of our fashion house in magazines and newspapers worldwide for potential customers to read.

The most important other marketing strategy is to have access to information on daily basis since something that was in fashion 6months ago is now no longer in fashion today. So we need business personnel who are conversant with the laws of supply and demand and are able to make detailed analysis on the market on daily basis to see when it is growing and when it is deteriorating to avoid making losses.

Operations

The main operations of the company are:

  • The official business hours will be from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday to Friday in every branch depending on the time zone of a country.
  • Procurement of raw material. The fabrics mainly silk, velvet and satin, prada, Indian fabrics and others
  • Purchase of jewelry to resell
  • Designing of clothes. This includes both continuance and innovation.
  • Monthly obligations. These are mainly the bills accrued(electricity, water) and salaries
  • Quarterly servicing of the three year loan
  • Yearly obligations. They are tax remissions, premium for employees' medical insurance cover among others.

The main risk is our possible failure to get a large customer base that guarantees generation of cash inflows that will ensure profitability. Another risk is the probable default on our loan. This can lead to closure of our business as the bank looks to recover its money. Further, there is the risk of success not being replicated in our branches. This would mean that that would be wrong investment decisions. Basically, the risk of loss is the single largest risk factor.

Strengths: Our main strength is the fact that our initial premise is in a posh neighborhood in the US where no business of its kind is running and also the various branches we have worldwide. This will help attract a good number of customers as it will be convenient for us. We also have a team of inspired and motivated designers that are interested in making outfits that will make our customers the envy of all people. They will continually come up with new designs that will interest the customers. (Stecker 1996)

Weaknesses: Firstly it is expensive to buy and import the fabrics required in making classy clothing. The startup capital is also sizeable. This makes it difficult to reduce the cost of production. Secondly, we are relatively new in the business and it is challenging to win over clients who have been regulars at other fashion shops.  Another weakness is the quick and rapid changing trends of the fashion industry. We could come up with a new design and produce many units only for the design to become obsolete after a few months. Like for example our use of Indian fabric.

Opportunities: This business presents us with an opportunity of making financial gains. If our sales exceed our obligations and cost of sales we make a profit. We also have an opportunity to create a reputation for ourselves as one of the leading financial companies in the world. We can also work in tandem with modeling companies worldwide for our mutual benefit.

Threats: One of our biggest threats is the counterfeit products especially while importing. They can greatly reduce our sales and in cases dent the public perception of the company. Patent and copyright rights are also difficult to ascertain and they also differ from country to country. Our designs could be produced and distributed under different labels by different fashion shops legally. There is also the threat of competition from other fashion houses and you need to have a good market strategy to counter this threat that mostly never ceases to end since fashion and design keeps growing day by day and fashion sense comes and goes giving way to other fashions.

Executive Summary:

Elegance wear is a fashion and design company in the US that will open on march this year and establish branches in the UK, India, Dubai and other parts of the world. We are looking at the business plan involved in the creation of the fashion company Elegance Wear.  Elegance wear clothing selections and exclusive personal style services include a detailed assessment of class and style that our customers are well dressed.
