Toms’ OriginIn 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie
befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. He had a remarkable drive to help them, and thus, in that same year, opened Toms Shoes, a company devoted to matching every pair of shoes purchased by customers with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need.
In 2007, Mycoskie returned to Argentina with 10,000 pairs of shoes for 10,000 children.

Toms Today• As of September 2010,
Toms has donated over a million pairs of shoes to children in need.
• Manufacturers are located in three countries: Argentina, China and Ethiopia.
• A mere 4-6 months after a pair of Toms shoes is sold, a new pair is on a child’s feet.

Where We Give

The Facts: One for One Movement
• It is said that if the world was a village of 100, 40 of them wouldn't have shoes!
• In some countries, children have to walk miles barefoot just to get clean water or food, or go to school.
• In Ethiopia, roughly one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.o Podoconiosis is 100% preventable by wearing
shoe... Toms can be the cure!

The One for One Movement’s Purpose
• For every pair of Toms shoes purchased, one pair is donated to a person in need.
• Helping those dealing with poverty.

Opening a Toms Store!Toms, a fairly new enterprise, has not had much
experience internationally. For this reason, we propose that Toms invest in an international
franchise.
Location: Santiago,
Chile
![Page 9: Market Plan By: Jessica Bender and Eva Cybulski. Our mission is to provide quality, light-weight shoes, and with our non-profit subsidiary, engage in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551805c75503466e558b482f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why Santiago?• Santiago is the capital of
Chile.o Also the most populated, with 5,278,044
residents.
• Today, western fashion is prominent in Chilean communities – so it makes sense to open a Toms store in one of the most culturally-diverse cities.
• Opening a store in Chile would mean direct transportation of shoes from the Toms factory in Argentina.

Toms Style in Chile• Toms incorporates
Argentinean alpargata designs into lightweight shoes.
• These shoes can be simple and straightforward…
• Or in sync with the creative designs of Chilean clothing.
• Chileans do not compromise fashion for comfort.o The Toms shoe design would be a
sensible addition to the clothing trends in Santiago.

Chile’s LocationChile is situated in South
America, stretching across much of the western
coastline, bordering the South Pacific Ocean.
The summers are dry and warm, and winters are
cool and wet. The summer weather is ideal for Toms
shoes, which are both lightweight and stylish.

Chile’s Economy• In terms of economical freedom worldwide, Chile
is ranked number 11.• With a market command system, the country has
a GDP of 203.925 billion dollars annually.• Capitalism
o Very little government involvement with privately owned companies.o Company owners decide on what is made, how much of it is made, and
how much products/services are sold for.

More Importantly…
Although the government inevitably has some control over Chile’s economy, the important part is that the way it runs is fairly similar to the way
America’s economy runs.
Our two countries are very close trading partners and share a free trade agreement.
