Our business’ product is a shoes sole. It is a additional sole that the customers can put in their own shoes at home. The differences of our product from the existing ones in the market are: 1. Our sole not only provides a feature of deodorizing the bad smell of the feet, but it also comes with different fragrances of customer’s choices. 2. It is shaped in specific way, with curves and dents, in order to support the feet’s shape which will further helps with the health of the customers: gaining less pain after a long walk and improving health in a long term. The idea of a shoes sole is brought up because the odor is a common problem in everyone’s daily life, either having it on their own or facing it by people nearby, which is often neglected because there are very few solutions to that problem that really do the solving at the right point. Some similar products of our rivals only offer one of the features at a time, but we combine it and compress them all in one. Moreover, by making it into a sole, the customers can still be fashionable and rock their own style of shoes instead of buying a new expensive pair of shoes which sometimes seems to be outdated by its limited possibility of design.

Intended target market:​ Why this group of customers is your target market? The group of customers that most likely to purchase our product are people who walked a lot, having foot odor and having problem with normal shoes pad, flat feet. The normal shoes pad that sell in the market are usually flat and don’t support the feet. This causes ​discomfort, pain,  and in some cases, serious joint and foot problems. So the customers who usually walk a lot  and have an abnormal foot shape would be one of our target group. Moreover, the feature of  deodorizing bad odor can be attracted to most of the population, from students to adults.  These people usually wear shoes from morning until night so they can experienced foot odor  at the end of the day.

Our shoes soles product is a product that provides both fragrance and customer’s health. We would need to work with both physical therapist and also perfumers at the same time. We would work with the physical therapist to figure out about the therapy and the support for the shoe soles and we would work with the perfumers to deal with the scent of a soles. The physical therapist should be the physical therapist that masters about giving a therapy on a lower part of the body such as feet, angles and legs. The perfumers should have a enough experience to know whether which smells would fit the best with shoe smells problems.
