Value Proposition: We will manufacture products according to orders given us from the clients. We will try our best to fulfill their requirements and provide them the standard they require to maintain our clients and expand our market. Our machinery is latest and we fulfill the basic requirement that is completing orders on time to build our reputation in the market. Secondly we are new in the market and we want to attract more and more clients in the local market in the start so we will offer low rates as to other stitching units. In this field even a single penny difference in the rates results in big profits, so by offering low rates and cutting down our profit margin we will attract clients. Our target is to provide quality services according to orders given to us. As said above that very big names in the market have booked their orders for many coming years but they also receiving orders on the regular basis.

intend selling our African attire. Here is a preview of what we got from the critically conducted SWOT Analysis ‘’ONLINE DARZI’’ ● Strength: Our strength lies in the fact that we have state of the art facility and industrial sewing machines that has positioned us to meet the demand even if the demand tripled over night or if we have a massive order to meet and emergency need. Another factor that counts to our advantage is the background of our Chief Executive Office; he has a robust experience in the industry and also a pretty good academic qualification to match the experience acquired which has placed him amongst the top flight fashion designers. We are not ignoring the fact that our team of highly qualified and dedicated workers (tailors and support staff) will also serve as strength for our organization. ● Weakness: We do not take for granted the facts that we have weaknesses. In fact, the reality that we are setting up a sewing / fashion design business in a city with other smaller and larger sewing / fashion design businesses might likely pose a challenge for us in breaking into the already saturated market. In essence our chosen location might be our weakness. But never the less, we have plans to launch out with a big bang. We know with that, we will be able to create a positive impression and we have a proper handle when it comes to building on already gather momentum. ● Opportunities: The opportunities available to us are unlimited. Loads of people in Lagos state put on Africa attire for various occasions and all what we are going to do to push our products to them is already perfected. Threat:
The threat that is likely going to confront us is the fact that we are competing with already established sewing / fashion design businesses and also there are other entrepreneurs who are likely going to launch similar business within the location of our business. Of course, they will compete with us in winning over the available market. Another threat that we are likely going to face is unfavorable government policies and economic downturn. Usually economic downturn affects purchasing / spending powers and unfavorable government policies can hinder the importation of some sewing materials from other parts of the world.
