CONCLUSION 44

Launching a men’s luxury fashion line is like dancing with Edyta Śliwińska. She is complex and requires your undivided attention.

Who is Paolo Poffandi? His origins stem to Corfu, and farther back to Venice, Italy. He has lived in nine countries and describes himself simply as Tanned. He enjoys ten-minute chess and staying fit. He has lived in nine countries and can speak French, Greek and some Italian.

Eight years as a stockbroker and fifteen years in project finance have shaped his views on the world of investments. Now, he is investing in his own creation.

The Paolo Poffandi Brand targets the ultra high net worth perfectionist. The entire collection will be made in Italy, assuring “quality” is never compromised.

There are plans to open storefronts in Dubai, Beverly Hills, Milan, New York, London, Paris, Moscow, Shanghai, Beijing, Macau, and Monte-Carlo.

We will also market on the Web, through personal stylists, and top end retailers. The apparel will come ready to wear as well as custom fitted. Franchising the brand is a possibility once we have demonstrated the viability of a corporate model.

Patent pending signature accessories composed of precious metals and gems are also part of the product line.

INTRODUCTION

Paolo Poffandi

CORPORATE STRUCTURE

1

The Paolo Poffandi Brand represents the original name of its creator. A corporation will be structured once seed capital has been secured.

The launch will consist of a Start-Up and Ramp-Up stage in the first two years.

The Start-Up Stage (Year 1)

In this stage, we will:

1) design an e-commerce web site 2) create samples for Spring/Summer Collection; Autumn/Winter Collection/ Evening Wear, shoes, and accessories. 3) create marketing packages for agents and distributors 5) implement accounting systems 6) launch an advertising/PR campaign

This stage will require an investment of $100,000

The Ramp-Up Stage (Year 2)

In this stage, we will:

1) invest in a storefront (please see Financials 1) 2) penetrate retail channels

This stage will require an additional investment of $1,500,000

2

LAUNCH

Apart from the sophisticated logo, which has garnered acclaim, and stylish clothing, how does Paolo Poffandi distinguish himself from the competition? The brand is not to be confused with a mid-luxury brand. It is a Top End Luxury Brand.

Below, and in no particular order, are suits of mid-luxury brands by Fendi, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Canali, Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Gucci, Armani and Hugo Boss. Which one is the Armani* suit? They are indistinguishable. It appears that if we did nothing else but imitate a mid-luxury brand, we would still be able to carve a niche in the marketplace, after years of branding campaigns.

BRANDING

The Paolo Poffandi Brand is synonymous with unparalleled luxury and uncompromising craftsmanship.

The creation of Patent Pending jewelry, featuring men’s accessories never seen before, promises to revolutionize men’s luxury apparel. You have not seen anything, yet.

The retail experience for Luxury goods is evolving. The luxury consumer expects craftmanship and ease of purchase, as has always been the case.

1. From a Forbes article(a) :

“Gucci for example has made Amazon.com their official authorized online retailer.

Why? Again, because people look to these services more and more to make purchases rather than purchase decisions. They are learning about products elsewhere such as via advertising, social media, and more traditional media. The comfort and sophistication of buying via the internet’s largest retailers is both trusted by and appealing to consumers. In the end consumers are looking for an easy way to get the things they want. The hassle of the traditional luxury buying experience is the industry’s biggest threat.

Today successful luxury brands have taken responsibility over manufacturing, creating retail demand, and finally fulfilling the demand by selling direct to consumers. The value of the middle-man third party retailer is quickly evaporating.

Conclusion: Online marketing should be an integral compoment of the marketing mix.

16

THE MARKET PLACE

2. From a Business of Fashion (BOF) article(b) :

“One of the most exciting findings is that by 2018, in the next five years, based on our predictions and based on how fast the region is growing, Asia Pacific will be the biggest region in the world for luxury goods,” Flur Roberts, the head of luxury goods research at Euromonitor, told BoF. “This is predominantly due to China, but also the emerging Asian markets like Malaysia and Indonesia. India is also a major contributor.”

Since the start of the firm’s luxury goods research practice back in 2004, Western Europe has been the “clear leader” in luxury consumption and has accounted for more than 33 percent of all luxury spending in the past year. However, with luxury consumption in Asia Pacific expected to grow 170 percent over the next five years, the region is set to dethrone Western Europe as early as 2018.”

Conclusion: Penetrate the Asia Pacific market.

3. From a Sphere article(c) :

“Rebecca Robins and Manfredi Ricca, directors at brand consultancy Interbrand, and co-authors of 2012’s Meta-Luxury: Brands and the Culture of Excellence argue that Luxury as a term has become bloated, overused and meaningless.

They call for a refocusing on true luxury, luxury as a pursuit of painstaking craftsmanship, quality and excellence, to maintain consumer confidence and impress today’s discerning connoisseurs who aren’t fooled by luxury that isn’t credible. They argue that true luxury brands such as Hermès and perfumer Francis Kurkdijan put excellence and product first, and let business follow, and are still a commercial success because people believe in them.

“It makes the brand irreplaceable, rather than disposable. Something truly unique. Consumers today are looking for something with meaning and longevity and this is the way to achieve that,” explains Robins.”

Conclusion: Put excellence and product first, and let business follow. Become irreplaceable.

17

The marketing mix will consist of advertising and public relations campaigns to support direct in-home sales, digital marketing, corporate storefronts, and affiliated retail chains. The Public Relations effort will consist of sponsoring artists, white paper research, social media curators, sponsorships, magazine/television publicity, and fashion shows.

MARKETING

Integrating a central manufacturing hub to an ecommerce web site is a matter of necessity, not choice. The internet experience must also be multi-lingual. Traffic will be directed to the web site through advertising and public relations campaigns. Internet marketing provides the most lucrative profit margins.

Email campaigns will direct buyers to the web site where they can shop online.

Wealth Window (www.wealthwindow.com) is a unique, high performing database of 18MM individuals that consistently outperforms the competition. While most providers of high-income consumers rely on information derived from census data, geo-targeting, and demographics to identify the rich, WW utilizes over 80 proprietary sources (many that are not included anywhere else) to identify positions, possessions and proclivities, at an individual level, and categorize many wealthy individuals that other resources overlook or miss. Wealth Window is an Omni-channel portal to the most affluent consumers in the US, and allows direct mail, email, digital, mobile and video messages to the same individuals in a true integrated campaign.

Outlets of Luxury brands like SHOPSTYLE.com, will also provide additional revenues, but are considered Retail channels due to the markups.

Digital Marketing

Storefronts

For those consumers who are not as adept with the internet, there is the storefront experience - and in-home fashion stylists. We are projecting opening one store. The assumption is that it will cost(d) $100,000 [$112 /sq ft] to furbish a 800 sq ft space and $500,000 per year ($625 /sq ft ) to lease in Beverly Hills’s Rodeo Drive (e). This is reasonable compared to other cities in the world (f).

19

ClothiersEquipped with a laptop, a catalog, a tape measure and swatches, Clothiers (personal Stylists) can visit their clients in their homes or offices. They transmit the client’s measurements directly to the manufacturing hub over the internet. Profit margins are expected to be greater than Storefronts’ but not as great as those of the Internet portal.

This model has been tried and tested by J. Hilburn (www.jhilburn.com/partnerlocator) a mid-luxury men’s clothing line. The commissions they offer stylists range from 10% to 30%. The model includes team leaders which share in the success of their teams.

Astor & Black also provides a remarkable commentary on the trends in this video.

RetailThis entails creating relationships with established luxury retailers such as Harrod’s of London. The profit margins are expected to be modest, even though revenues are expected to be double that of other sales channels. We expect retailers to command a 300% markup on our apparel, and a 100% markup on accessories. If our suits cost $500 to make, and we wholesale them for $1,000, the retail price will be in the $4,000 - $8,000 range.

Retail also includes internet outlets such as shopstyle.com.

For accessories such as a pair of Button Cuff Bars, which may cost $30,000 to make, the wholesale price is expected to be $45,000, and retail at $90,000.

20

Storefronts for luxury brands are capital-intensive and must be in the most prestigious real estate in order to gain acceptance. They must also be backed by ample advertising budgets. The interior design must border on palatial. Profit margins are expected to be the least generous. Potential cities for storefronts include but are not limited to Beverly Hills, Paris, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, New York, Beijing, Monaco and London.
