Hey Farkers/Rotorburners.
Currently I am in year 12 completing my final assessment pieces to go towards my exit mark. In Business and Organization Management (BOM) we have been assigned the task of creating a full business proposal of a company that we see to be viable and profitable. This includes everything from target markets, projected figures, creating a product/service, marketing strategy, SWOT analysis, legal considerations, operations plans, HR planning and production methods. For my business plan I have decided to create a cut price riding apparel company, catering for the BMX racing, Downhill and Motocross industries supplying jerseys, pants, gloves, goggles and also casual wear. Basically the business will consist of everything the major companies (TLD, FOX, ROYAL etc.) are offering just at a greatly reduced cost. The product will consists of riding apparel like what TLD etc are offering and up to date with current trends. From talking with the teacher, approval has been received that I can paste my name over that of existing companies to save time and stress in creating all new patterns and designs meaning that clothing will resemble what is currently on the market. The company will have its' product available online and also in shops to cater for modern day shopper.
So where do you come in? Well there are a number of favors I would like to ask.
1. Would you please be able to direct me in the direction of data relating to Motocross, BMX and downhill figures that I can include in the assignment (such as number of participants, market share pie, and any other useful facts and figures)
2. Complete a quick survey/questionnaire below and submit as a reply to this thread.
1. Name:
2. Gender
3. Discipline you participate in. (can be all 3)
4. What do you look for when you purchase items such as jerseys, pants, gloves and goggles?
5. What price would you pay for these items?
6. Are you brand sensitive?
7. Do you look at the trends that the 'pro' riders are wearing and take that into consideration when purchasing apparel?
8. Do you think that price is a large factor when choosing what items you purchase?
9. What sort of change do you believe needs to be seen in the apparel industry?
10. Would you wear a brand of clothing that does not have the 'designer' name?
11. Do you see this company having a place in the current industry?
13. Currently, do you have any issues with the 'major' players in the apparel industry?
13. Any remarks or comments on what you believe needs to be incorporated into this company to change the industry?
14. How often would you wear riding specific clothing, and how often do you have to throw out clothing due to damage etc?
15. Do you purchase these items from the internet or from a shop?
If you would be able to take a few minutes to help me out I would be grateful. If you would like the task sheet for this assignment to validate what I am asking for I would be more that happy to supply you with that.
Thanks heaps everyone.
