Technology - Research -
Development - Trends
As a company, We are in a constant mode of research and identification of items and trends. This ongoing identification helps us to maintain our edge and recognize potential markets before they become acknowledged. Business Operations - The business operations will be managed by myself. If necessary we will employ assistants for merchandise research and other tasks as needed. Market Analysis and Marketing - The industry we provide items for has a large and diversified client base. Some of our clients include local individuals, photographers, event planners, dealers, local business owners, real estate agents, b and b owners, and interior design contacts which utilize vintage inventory for their clients, such as theme rooms and restaurant decor.
*Market trends show that there will be a continual growth and need for this style of inventory as people reflect upon items that help them to recapture their youth and bring to mind past experiences. This reasoning also helps to explain this sudden surge in popularity of these collectible items as well as the psychological makeup of many of today's collectors. Competition - There are several businesses which are similar in nature to ours, however as an Internet based venture we will transcend geographical territories. Marketing Activities - We will maintain involvements with designers, real estate agents and shop owners as well as contacts that we have acquired through networking and are introduced to along the way. In addition to this, we will also attempt to cultivate new contacts through both real world and online auctions/ online groups. Selling - The ongoing development of a client/contact/frequent customer mailing list and identifying potential interests focused on the product from online pages and/ or marketplace commerce , auction interest.
