This is the group project for one of my college elective course: Marketing and Management of Arts. The proposal was made when I was in the second year of college. My partner and me decided to choose perfume as our main product. However, we want to create some differences among all competitors in the perfume market. Therefore, we would like to open a DIY perfume shop, and thus proposed the outline of our business plan. The plan included our marketing method, estimate of cost, shopping mechanism...etc.

4. We found our inspiration
from a book.
For women, finding a suitable, personal fragrance can be much
more difficult than buying a dress or choosing some accessories.
There are thousands different types of fragrance, decorated with stylish
design and packed in delicate glass bottle which can easily catch
people’s attention via their appearance. However, if these fancy
perfume packing were took off, can perfume still catch women’s
eyes? Or women are just simply pursuing the deluxe, fashion packing
of perfume? In other words, when women are buying perfumes, what
do they care the most: packing, brand of perfume, or fragrance its
very self?
Therefore, we believe that we can establish a “pure” fragrance
shop, where no famous brand logos, superstar’s endorsement and
advertising exist. Our customers can simply experience and enjoy the
perfume as well as different scents. Most importantly, our customers
can blend their own perfume in the shop to meet their preference and
personal odor. We hope our shop can help our customers to express
their unique style and broaden their experience and senses in smell.

Motivation
“The point is to fall in love with a smell, to wear that smell, voilà. To realize that a
carefully chosen smell that arouses emotion within oneself will make their life
more beautiful. ”— Eddie Roschi, Co-Founder of Le Labo
6. In short, this is a DIY perfume shop:
• Everyone can blend and create their favorite and personal fragrance.
• In the shop, we provide various raw materials for making perfume, including
essence, base oil, alcohol, emulsifier, hydrosols and natural dyes…etc. We
also provide devices and tools for customers to use. Our customers only
need to pay for DIY fees (bottles and materials included) and they can use
everything provided in the shop to make their perfume.
• In addition to DIY hand-made perfumes, we also sell ready-made perfumes
for customers who simply just want to buy from the options we created for
them. (They are also very good and special, too!)

8. • According to the data provided by Trendgo Research, the main consumers in perfume
market are 20~45 year-old females with college (or above) education background,
living in Northern Taiwan. Therefore, such consumer group is our target customers.
• To be more specific about our target customers, they are 25~40 year-old females with
middle-high income and sensitive to fashion trend and leisure life.
• Even though in Taiwan market there are still about 43% females who don’t wear
perfume, but according to the research there are still approximately 57% females who
wear perfume always or occasionally. Therefore, we believe DIY perfume business can
be much expansive in this market.
