The Concept
Recognizing the fact that there is a lot of competition in the market for shoes in longer sizes, the bigger shoe retailers One, Two and Step recognize this. By focusing on niches, we will limit competition. We will also target other retailers whose prices and quality are too high or not efficient for shoe size.
One, Two, Step! Three keys to success are key for us. The first is to establish high-quality, high-value relationships with its suppliers and customers. It is also important to deliver their products on time and in a reliable manner. Reliable administration is the last key to success. This business plan provides the structure necessary to achieve this last key.
One, Two, Step! The business is initially set up to be a home-based venture with plans to eventually expand to a shop/boutique. This will allow you to save money while still providing the best service and support.
The Market
