    Executive Summary

    Few months back, two sisters FaizaTanveer and Khadija Tanveer when entered Kasre-e-

    Bahbood, have never thought that one day they will become one of the finest ArtificialJeweler

    Makers and be able to develop a supply chain of a unique and popular design of a wide range of

    product in a short span of time. They both worked together with a mission of developing

    companys own brand, identity and to retain competitive edge. The production ranges a varietyof items keeping the need and fashion of the day e.g. jewelry, clutches, Pins, Brooches, Pendent

    etc.

    Now FLAMENCO ART STUDIO started working for the further expansion and promotion of

    this business. FLAMENCOis to be based on four main departments, led by respective line

    managers, Marketing, Supply chain, Production and Finances. Initial budget of our project is

    10,000 each while their long term plan is to open outlets shops. Thecriteria for the location of the

    outlets are to attract the major users/consumers of the jewelry i.e. Woman and young girls. Due

    to rapid and uncontrolled hike in price of the gold at global level, it has been felt at all sections of

    the society to move to some alternate of the real gold products. Artificialjewelry of other low

    cost metals has become popular and its demand is also increasing day by day. Especially in

    major cities, artificialjewelry has been replaced relatively at a higher pace in view of rapid living,

    cultural values and security reasons. Regarding marketing, it is decided to share a part of the

    sales outlets at the initial stage with some of the leading business networks i.e. MODEL, HKB

    and PEARL Co.Some outlets are to run at their own, while use of FACE BOOK and otherelectronics Ads facilities made effective for the smooth marketing profile and future business

    targets.

    flayers, banners and through attractive packing, etc When it succeeds in its object, the firmoccupies almost the position of a monopolist.

    Feasibility AnalysisFeasibility analysis is the process of determining if a business idea is viable or not. Its a way of

    checking whether your business can succeed in the long run and the phases through your new

    business have to pass.

    Product AnalysisWe have chosen to produce handmade jewelry. We have seen the market trends these days and

    preference of customers towards handmade jewelry. Nowa daysgold jewelry is not suitable to

    wear because of thefts and snatching and gold prices are rising with each passing day so it is very

    difficult for a common person to buy it. With such fears they are just kept inside of bank lockers

    to keep them safe that is the main reason we found this gap in the market and we come up with

    an idea of handmade jewelry. We are not offering only handmade jewelry but imitated jewelry as

    well. Girls usually want something to wear matching with their dresses thats why we are making

    jewelry of vibrant colors that can be carried with both looks whether eastern or western look

    mostly we are focusing on traditional designs of jewelry. Girls were not wearing jewelry owing

    to its huge size and some of them are metal allergic we have solved this issue we are using fancy

    stuff along with beads, laces, ribbons and fancy thread with plastic supporting. Such trends are in

    market moreover we have asked few customers in the market who regularly buy jewelry that

    what would they like to wear heavy jewelry or something that looks like the heavy jewelry but

    actually its way lighter than the heavy jewelry so the response was in our favor they want

    something that is trendy and up to date. We have also seen the demand of our product because if

    there isnt any demand for the product then all our efforts will go to vain because whe n a

    customer buy jewelry they arent buying jewelry in fact they are buying a whole experience of

    the entire range of the designer behind it.

    Target Market Feasibility

    Industry for imitated and handmade jewelry is growing so rapidly over the last year. Gold is

    getting out of range these days people are shifting towards substitutes. Every girl wants to look

    versatile in its own way. Our target audience will be girls 12 to 22 years of age even working

    class women can also wear our collection once we will be in market we will also start a

    collection for girls of 5-9 years of age.

  • 8/12/2019 Final Business Plan ... We Did It

    10/37

    Organizational Feasibility

    We have designed our jewelry on our own and they are quite unique in their own way. Currently

    at this stage of idea it is decided that all the partners will help in managing the resources that are

    needed by us. We have talked with various people we will sell our products to different malls

    preliminary we are going to sell our products to H.K.B , MODEL CO , and REAL

    BEAUTYPEARL CO side by side we will also sell them on stalls at the exhibition we are also

    going to provide the facility to customers that they can demand the jewelry on order to facilitate

    them in matching with their clothes we have also developed a page on social network to

    introduce our products to our customers they can also call or leave their queries on whtsapp.

    Financial Feasibility

    This business is financially feasible because capital is less required to start up business at thissmall scale initially we are putting around 7 thousand to start up. Material and supporting stuff

    such as ribbons fancy beads will e bought only in huge quantity once they are bought it can be

    used to produce them in a sufficientamount. It will cover its cost even when few units are sold to

    above mentioned retailers. But they key to success in this field is that know the preferences of

    your targeted audience make up things that meets their requirements try to fulfill the gaps in your

    field competition is so intense in this industry because there are lots of other people doing this

    same business because of its low startup cost to keep in this industry we will come up with

    unique stuff to keep alive the spirit of competition because if you are meeting the demands of

    your customers they will be overwhelmed. By looking at each and every perspective we found

    our self-suitable for the proposed business and there are chances of growth as well.

    From this analysis we have come to know that this business is feasible and now the details of the

    business is as follow

    Target ConsumerFlamenco will be focusing on two distinct groups of customers. One is the end consumer, as we

    all know industry for imitated and handmade jewelry is growing so rapidly over the last year.

    Gold is getting out of range these days people are shifting towards substitutes. Every girl wants

    to look versatile in its own way. Our target audience will be girls 12 to 22 years of age evenworking class women can also wear our collection once we will be in market we will also start a

    collection for girls of 5-9 years of age. The other is galleries, to be used as a distribution channel.

    The end consumer will be interacting with Flamenco via his website as well as through personal

    contact at exhibitions/shows. The galleries (museum shops, jewelry stores) will also be met

    through the exhibitions and shows.

    Galleries These buyers are purchasing jewelry wholesale in quantity and reselling it to the

    public. Some of the galleries are private galleries, some are artisan jewelry shops, some are

    museum stores, like the pearl continental exhibition and Alhamra Art Store. The margins are not

    as good compared to sales to individuals and there is also the expense of setting up relationships

    with the galleries to sell the art pieces, but galleries move a large quantity of work. The galleries

  • 8/12/2019 Final Business Plan ... We Did It

    14/37

    and stores that typically are interested in Contemporary's work are more upscale and modern.

    They appeal to a crowd that favors progressive or industrial design.

    Customers These buyers are familiar with Flamenco Jewelry either from stumbling across the

    website. The individual would then view the different available pieces on the website and place

    the order via the Web, phone, fax, or mail. The margins for customer sales are greater because

    there is not a distribution layer involved; it is direct from Flamenco to the end consumer. The

    individuals that are typically attracted to this type of art work are generally from cities and are

    fairly progressive. The reason for this is that the jewelry, while not flashy, is not all that

    conservative looking. They are intricate pieces, typically using organic shapes and industrial

    design. This is the reason that more progressive people will appreciate the Flamenco pieces.

    Marketing plan Product: Flamenco Art Studio is a handmade business of all the handmade items that

    includes wide range of handmade accessories for women, handmade bangles. Rings,

    earrings,Brooches, Necklaces, Mehndi accessories, Kolhapuris, Hair accessories and

    Ankletetc

    Place: Right now we have launched our handmade products in Lahore, but in future wewill launch our product 3 big cities Karachi, Sialkot and Islamabad. We will also makeour handmade products available outside the Pakistan through online sale.

    Porter five forces model

    Low cost leadershipWe are gaining this advantage by using the scrap and transforming it into useful material once

    scrap which includes wires ribbons beeds and fancy material is left out of the order that we aredone with rather than throwing it away we make jewelry out of it and sell it to the people who

    like those designs thats how we are gaining the advantage of low cost leadership.

    Threat of new entrantsThreat of new entrants is relatively high as china is also making handmade jewelry and they are

    trying to penetrate this market by providing those designs Chinese designs can be easily imitated

    but our designs are relatively difficult to imitate. There is also difference in our quality

    Plus this business doesnt require much cash to start up so entry barriers are not high.

    Bargaining power of buyersBargaining power is low as fleminco isnt a recognized brand yet its in it development stages

    much people a rent aware of this thats why we believe bargaining power is low.

    Bargaining power of suppliersBargaining power of suppliers is relatively low as we have three suppliers and can get more

    suppliers if required, who can provide us with raw material.

    Threat of substitute productsThreat of substitute product is low as we consider gold and we are replacing it so threat is low.

    Marketing strategyWe will adopt penetration marketing strategy for our handmade product range.

    Action programsAs we are at the beginning stage of our business so we have adopted penetration marketingstrategy to grab the attention of customers & we will control our cost for the implementation ofthis strategy.

    As at this stage we are making our handmade products by our self so it will helpful in controllingcost but in future we will launch it on a large scale so we will hire more labor to meet the

  • 8/12/2019 Final Business Plan ... We Did It

    19/37

    requirement hence, we will increase the prices according to the demand of our handmade products.

    Budgets & controlsWe have a budget of approximately Rs 40,000. As we are at the initial stage of our business butin future we will increase it according to the increase in sales and revenues. We will control ourcost as we are not hiring any individual to market our product we will promote our products byourselves at this initial stage. As we will use radio, brochures, pamphlets &facebook page etc forthe marketing that are not very expensive means of advertisement.

    Competitive Edge

    Flamenco competitive edge is fairly simple. It is based on creative, unusual designs. While this

    strategy can be replicated, it is not easy. Creative, unusual designs require skills. While not

    everyone has artistic skill, Umama is certainly not the only one graced with this skill. Regardless,

    Umama is very skilled in what she does, and every piece that she manufactures incorporates an

    element of creative, unusual, eye catching design that stands out from most jewelry.

    Business ModelSometimes the process which company performs becomes very important not only for company

    but also for the customers because customers really want to know how the product came into

    being. So what we did is, we selected 6 step business model, which starts from getting raw

    material from supplier and ends up at product in hand of customers. The detail of the business

    model is as follow:

  • 8/12/2019 Final Business Plan ... We Did It

    20/37

    Product in hand of customers

    In the first step of getting raw material from suppliers, we will get our raw material from Shalmimarket and 3 suppliers in the market are Ahmad laces center, Abu Bakar mote center and Arooj

    plastics and glues. We almost get all our raw material from them including ribbons, laces, cotton

    balls, artificial flowers, beads, and fancy thread with plastic supporting. Then after this step we

    will get design from our design department, being headed by UmamaManzoor, who is our

    professional designer and help us in providing unique and diverse range of design to the

    customers.

    These designs are then being forwarded to the manufacturing department; head of this

    department is FaizaTanveer. The onward step till final touches to the product is done in thisdepartment. FaizaTanveer will firstly finalize the designs of the design department and then she

    will implement those designs with help of labor. She is responsible for this department and

    department include 17 labors. The labor in this department is almost being paid according to the

    product they manufacture. We basically pay Rs.70 per dozen to the labor. In a single day 700

    products are almost made.

    After manufacturing all products we will do final touches to the product and FaizaTanveer,

    being a head of this department will see all these activity to assure the quality because we believein delivering the best to our customers. In the step of final touches, the product is keenly

    observed and tags are attached to the products, which contains labeling, warnings and price tags.

    Market DemandThe demand of the jewelry product is elastic

    When Deman d is Elastic, price has a large impact on the demand for jewelrys.

    This is generally true for Jewelry, as they are not required to exist.

    Price elasticity of demand is defined as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided bythe percentage change in price. For handmade jewelry, the change in quantity demanded exceeds

    the change in price, therefore, its elasticity is larger than one and the product is deemed to be

    elastic.

    Nature of demand curveSince the existence of close substitutes limits the monopoly power, the demand curve faced by a

    monopolistically competitive firm is fairly elastic. The precise degree of elasticity will however,

    depend upon the number of firms in the group product or industry. If the number of firms is

    fairly large and the product of each firm is not very similar, the demand curve of a firm will be

    quite elastic. In case, there is close competition among the rival firms for the sale of similar

    products, the demand curve of a firm will be less elastic.

    The Market StructureMonopolistic competition is a market situation in which there are relatively large numbers of

    small firms which produce or sell similar but not identical commodities to the customers.

    There are many other firms in the market which sell similar products (not identical) with

    different brand names. The firm supplying jewelry enjoys a monopoly position over the sale of

    its own product. It also faces competition from firms selling similar products.

    Reasons for Monopolistic/Imperfect Competition in Jewelry Market

    The main characteristic or features of monopolistic competition are as under:

    A fairly large number of sellers

    In jewelry the number of firms in monopolistic competition is fairly large. Each firm produces or

    sells a close substitute for the product of other firms in the product group or industry.

    Differentiation in products

    Under monopolistic competition, the firms sell differentiated products. Product differentiation

    may be real or imaginary.

    Real differentiation is done through differences in the materials used, design, color etc.

    Imaginary differences may be created through advertisement, brand name, trademarks

    etc.
