Lola Getts . . . What She Wants
Lola Getts Active’s mission is to make the plus-size
woman feel empowered and beautiful by designing
and fitting top quality, fashionable, performance active
wear exclusively for the woman sized 14-24.
Lola Getts Active targets women aged 18-45 who are
striving to live a healthy lifestyle and at the same time
managing career and family. This woman appreciates
quality and is willing to spend more on one incredible
piece of active wear that will last, than repurchase
lower quality items several times over.

We do this By Creating Quality Active Wear Designed for Her
Plus size women hold 28% of the active apparel purchasing power, but spend only 17% . . .NPD
And this is why $3.1 Billion is being left on the table:
1 Clothes fit poorlyMajor players refuse to make plus sizes2
Retailers shun the plus size customer
3
The Active Wear Market is a $30 Billion Industry . . .And growing 2x as fast as the overall apparel industry NPD
Lululemon is already generating $1.5B in revenue solely in standard sizes and stores only in North America.

The Plus-Size Active Woman is not the Minority
67% of US women wear a size 14 or larger Refinery 29
57% of US women wear at least some clothing in sizes 16 and above Modcloth
53% of overweight people and 41% of obese people say they exercise three or more days a week! Gallup Poll
YET . . .
62% of plus-size women say they have a hard time finding the styles they want NPD

The Plus-Size Woman is a Different Consumer
Her proportions are different from regular sizes
– Therefore the normal grading up of sizes leaves these customers with poorly fitting clothes.
She prefers to shop online
– She is twice as likely to shop online as her smaller counterparts.
– She is also buying more than 50% more of her clothing online than women who only wear standard sizes.
She is willing to pay for quality fashionable products.
– She spends on average 25% more and buys 17% more items per order than regular-sized shoppers.

But The Industry Continues to Ignore Her
Retailers relegate plus size women to the upper level, back corners of the store.
Retailers do not want to identify with plus size customers.
– They do not want to hurt their own brand image or the self identification of their customers by seeing larger women shopping in their stores or wearing their clothes on the street.
Manufacturers do not want to make different patterns.
– To properly fit, they must make completely new patterns and manufacturers do not want to spend the money.

How We Will Get There
Lola Getts Active is raising $1.5M to launch a full scale marketing campaign, build inventory, infrastructure, and finance working capital needs until the company is at break-even and self financing (18-24 months).
Another capital raise will occur in approximately 3-4 years. This will allow further expansion into complimentary lines of business, broadened apparel lines, and the creation of a community portal supporting all aspects of the plus size woman.
We anticipate in 5-7 years we will either be bought out by a strategic partner, private equity firm or raise additional funds for further growth.
