10.KEY SUCCESS FACTORS

There are a number of factors, which contribute towards the success of a project. In case of the project of Boutiquesome of the Key Success Factors are as follows:

Proper care while producing dresses should be adopted

Proper Inventory management i.e. keeping minimum inventory as per past sales trends.

The dress designs should be according to the emerging trends and fashions.

Designing of dresses according to the consumer tastes/preferences gathered through consumer surveys.

The location of the outlet should be properly selected and attractively decorated so as to target the clientele effectively.

The customer satisfaction should be given due importance, because it is the customer satisfaction, which can increase the sales. Hence, excellent customer service should be provided.

11. THREATS FOR THE BUSINESS 

Competitive Structure of the market

The market of the boutiques is highly competitive; therefore if the entrepreneur is not well responsive to the tastes and response of the clientele as well as the fashions in vogue he/she may not be able to capitalize the opportunity properly.

Do not partner with a competing store.

Pilferage in the designs

The designs which a designer produces can be sold by the staff even before that design is launched and that can pose serious threat to the business because in the fashion industry it is the uniqueness of the design which matters.

Selection of the wrong venue

Selection of the wrong venue can be a major hurdle in achieving the desired business objectives. Selection of the wrong design

If the designs are not selected according to the tastes of the clientele then it can be detrimental for the business, so the clientele taste should be properly tracked.

Improper documentation of the sales receipt record may lead to problems with Tax department.
