1) You.
My name is Alyssa Freeberg and I am a sophomore marketing major and retailing minor at the University of Florida. I love to dance and play tennis as well as look at the newest fashion trends. I have experience working in retail at a boutique as well as a merchandiser for an online clothing website that I created. My aspirations are to become a buyer for Bloomingdale's. I see this business concept helping out many woman and men that have trouble shopping for their specific body type.
2) What are you offering to customers?
I am offering a computer software program that goes into shopping online sites that helps customers shop online through features that help flatter their body type.
3) Who are you offering it to?
I am offering it to women and men clothing and apparel retailers that have online shopping aspects. I want to capture consumers that have a difficult time flattering their specific body types. Specifically to woman with big boobs or tiny waists but large thighs for example.
4) Why do they care?
They care because it is such a struggle for many consumers to find clothing that is on trend and fits them well and shows their bodies in the best way possible.
5) What are your core competencies? The fact that consumers can shop for clothing based on their personal choices on how to embody their self issues.
In addition to these five elements, please spend a paragraph evaluating whether you believe these elements fit together or whether there are aspects of your business concept that are weaker / out-of-joint with the others.
I believe these elements truly fit together because they help make the business concept more substantial and more thought out. I believe it gives a deeper understanding of the business and where you want to go with it.
Alyssa, I really like your business idea. It is really hard to find clothing that fits my body type, and I just want to look good in the clothes I buy. I love to online shop, but it's hard to see how the clothes will fit and look like when I see the clothes on perfect size 0 models. This computer software is a great idea to decide on what clothes to buy without having to go to the store. It really makes online shopping more efficient. I think this is really important for all companies that sell clothes online. Make sure to check out my blog post! http://itsmyblogforentc3003.blogspot.com/2016/02/idea-napkin-no-1.html
ReplyDeleteHey Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow fashion lover, I want to say kudos to you for helping people find their best fit of the latest trends today. I love your idea and it's very clear to me that it's definitely something your passionate about given your background. I'd love to be one of your customers! The only thing I will critique is to make sure to proof read before you post your blog post. The entire second to last paragraph was something I think you accidentally forgot to delete but a good way to do so it to just never forget to read before you click publish. Either way, great job, awesome project and here's mine if you'd like to check it out: http://entreprevision.blogspot.com/2016/02/idea-napkin-no-1.html
