Phase 4: Enterprise and Market Competition

Phase 4

Enterprise and Market Competition

I think that the product that I will be selling to promote my business are t-shirt an bracelets. T-shirts are really simple to buy, and don’t cost very much money. If we made the shirts $35.00 and gave 60% of the profit to the organization, it would help a lot. I could also sell bracelets that I could have the girls make in their schooling years. If I am the creator of the schools, I can alter it so that the girls can take a small bit out of their time at school to create woven bracelets. I will also create a text line that will let people donate ten dollars from their phone bill to our company. Its an easy, fast way for people to donate.

• T- shirts:

        These shirts can have different graphics on them. Some could say “You Go Girl!” others may say other saying talking about the organization. If I would create these shirts in bulk, they would probably be $10-$12, so I could sell the shirts for $35 and make 60% of the profit go to the girls of the organization. I would have to get an American company to create them, so that we could sell them in the U.S. and we wouldn’t have to create shipping fees that are that high. All of the shirts would be pink and gray, the colors of the business.

• Woven Bracelets:

        The woven bracelets would have to be made in the schools that I create. I would sell one bracelet for $30.00, just to cover all the shipping and handling costs. I would create these bracelets out of any materials that need recycled. Those materials could range from things like tires to news papers. I would try to give 60% of this profit to the girls, just like the t-shirts.

Customers will be able to purchase the t-shirts and bracelets off of the website that I will create. It will be easy access to these products and an easy way to keep all of the orders that are taken organized. It will also be an easy way to get advertised if we can put ads up on other websites that lead you to our website and online store. The ads can also display the text line that can help you to donate $10 to the foundation.

The contractors or suppliers that I will need to contact will be some sort of t-shirt company. I will need a company with fair prices and a company that I can order high amounts of bulk t-shirts at. I will also need to find a company that can supply me with materials that I can use for the bracelets. I may be able to look around these girls towns and find different dumps that I could get the materials very cheap from. The creation of the bracelets will be done by the girls. I will also need to find a company that can help me to build schools in the other countries.

Rush Order Tees is a company that I would think about using for the t-shirts. They sell t-shirts in bulk and it would be easy to design my t-shirts there as well. I could decide what it looked like with the design station on the website.

For the bracelets, I would have to go to each individual country and to each individual community to find out the materials that they have and the materials that they would need to have recycled. It shouldn’t be hard to find a product that they have a surplus of that we could use.

This is a great company that builds important buildings for third world countries, like schools or houses.I think that they would be a great group to use to build the schools because they already work in places like Southern Africa and parts of Asia. They use whatever materials that they have access to in the area that they are building their buildings. They even use products like grasses and mud to create buildings. If I could team up with them, I’m sure that they would be willing to work with me on this project.

The Market and Competition

There are other businesses that are offering similar services to girls. One of these organizations is The Girl Effect. They do a lot of the same work that I do. They provide ID, education, and find good jobs for their girls. One thing that they do not do is to create their own schools for these girls. The Girl Effect also doesn’t provide any products for you to buy. They only really have packages that you can download onto your computer to help the individual to raise their own money for The Girl Effect. There are also a few companies that are addressing similar issues, like education for girls. The group World Education has helped girls to get an education and helps them to improve their life in general. They are primarily focused on education, while I focus everything, ID, education, HIV and AIDS, child marriage, and a job.
