There is a great potential in the wedding dress business as every years hundreds of couple get married and they also like to have the special wedding dress for the special occasion. The Unit 54 Business Skills for Proposal and Pitches Assignment is going to focus on the business proposal and evaluation of the market conditions before presenting the idea. To start one’s own business is not an easy task because most of the businesses fail because of only one reason i.e. improper research about the market. The focus of this assignment is thus on making the learner able to assess the risks involved in the business proposal.
The apparel industry is quite a flourish industry. The people all over the world love to wear the trendy clothes and this is the reason that the business environment proposal about the apparel industry is one of the effective business proposals. Providing the low cost wedding dress replica is going to be a good idea as people love stylish things but they also want the cost effectiveness. The apparel business constitutes a good amount of business in UK itself.
As the graph illustrated above depicts that there is a huge potential for growth for the apparel industry. With people having more and more interest in the stylish apparels the growth of the clothing industry seems quite promising and flourishing. As the graph shows above that the business of the clothing is quite promising in the UK because evry year the apparel industry constitutes the $4bn of business in UK. Thus low cost apparel business idea seems quite promising. (RFID, 2013)
As in the section above we have discussed the conditions of the market. After the research it is assessed that the business of apparel is quite promising and flourishing in the UK industry. In London people like to wear trendy clothes but with the limited incomes of the people sometimes they have to make a compromise with their wedding dresses. This is where the idea of the cost effective wedding dress replica comes in the existence. The current trend in the apparel industry is the cost effectiveness of the dresses. With the vulnerable economy of the world the people have become conscious about their savings this has given the rise to the new trend in the apparel industry and this trend is cost effectiveness of the wedding dresses.
Wedding dress is worn on the most special occasion of the person’s life but having wear the wedding dress only once there is trend of the replica of the beautiful dresses which is not as expensive as the original dresses as well as which are beautiful also. This is the reason that the trend is of the affordable beautiful stylish clothes. The dresses which are made this way are worn by the middle and lower middle class families.
The figure above shows that there are a great percentage of the average income people in UK. The average income people like to spend less for the apparels as their income is limited. (Doughty, 2013)

To analyze the micro as well as the macro environment is of greatest importance for the business. Without assessing the impact of the various factors of the micro and macro environment the success of the business cannot be imagined. Thus for this purpose the PESTEL analysis is done by the company. The PESTEL analysis for my company is as follows:
P- Political.

The segmentation is the process which is very crucial for approaching the customers by the company. For my business the segmentation is very essential as the market of the apparel is quite large and impossible to be approached as a whole. There are numbers of customers who have their own preferences and life style. One single strategy is not going to be a successful for each and every individual of the market. This is the reason that I would like to segment the market for my business. The segmentation can be defined as:
‘The segmentation process refers to divide the entire market into small portions in order to make the effective strategy for that small portion of market which has the individuals who have the similar needs and preferences. This is the reason that their demand patterns are also similar. (Business Plans, 2014). The types of segmentation are:
The product that I selected for my business is the cost effective replicas of the wedding dresses. For which I would use the cost effective material in making the dress and the main emphasis would be laid down on the style of the dress. The market segmentation for my product is ‘the Y generation females who like to have a great degree of impact of the TV and Social Media on their choices’. The target market is ‘working Females’.
For my product the segmentation is Demographic as well as behaviouristic. As the target market is the working class of females which defines their income and the behaviouristic also which defines the behaviour of the females towards the costs of the dresses.
Going into a new business is not easy as there always are threats to the business. This is the reason that model is given to assess the threats available to a business. The model for assessing these threats is the model given by Porter. This model is known as Porter’s Five Forces model. In this model the five forces are defined. These forces directly affect the strategy of a business and also to assess these forces is of great importance for the success of the business. The Porter’s Five Forces helps a business to know its current position in the market and also helps to know that what those advantages are that the business can make the use of and what are the weaknesses of the business. (Manktelow, 2015)
