A.

 INTRODUCTION 

“BABY STEPS”, a start­up venture by Mr. ..............to set up a boutique style
retail   business   of   maternity   and   child   clothing   and   accessories   in   ..............
District. The business has been formed as a sole proprietorship concern. The

unit   is   going   to   be   started   under   the   scheme   of  THE   KERALA   STATE

DEVELOPMENT   CORPORATION   FOR   SCHEDULED   CASTES   AND

SCHEDULED TRIBES LIMTED MULTI PURPOSE LOAN SCHEME. 

The   general   market   for   baby   products   seem   relatively   recession­proof.   The
business keeps bringing new customers no matter what’s happening with the
economy in the country. The maternity wear has made steady inroads in India
over the last few years, segmenting into prenatal and post­natal apparel and
accessories. Factors like a rise in number of working women, nuclear families,
higher   discretionary   spending   and   high   disposable   incomes   have   led   to   the
growth of maternity wear segment in India. 
Indian   women   have   also   started   accepting   baby   clothing,   accessories   and
maternity wear not as a luxury, but as a basic need. As a result, the Indian
innerwear market is worth 19,950 crore (2014) and is estimated to grow at 13
percent to reach 68,270 crore by 2024. This sudden surge in the revenue graph
shows   that   the   baby   and   maternity   care   products   4  industry   in   India   is
eventually   transforming   from   a   small­time   interest   market   into   a   growing
commercial industry since 2007. 
Therefore, with growing income patterns and households, the market of baby
and   maternity   wear   and   accessories   looks   quite   lucrative   holding   enormous
potential of providing more and better options of apparels and essentials for new
mothers to make their motherhood most memorable.

B. Objectives 
It   is   Baby   Step’s   mission   to   become   the   premier   maternity   boutique   for   the
upscale expectant mother and her child. This will be accomplished by offering
the newest fashions and the highest level of customer attention. Our objectives
are: 

2
•T
  o create a baby wear, maternity clothes and accessory boutique. 

• Q
  uickly   gain   market   share   by   addressing   the   upper­end   price   point   of

maternity and infant clothing. 
C. Management 

Baby   Steps   will   be   led   by   its   founder   and   promoter   Mr.   .................   He   is   a

by   the   founder   and   his   able   team   of   two   sales   personnel.   The   procurement,
administration and  marketing  will be handled  by ............ himself. The two other
sales staff will take care of the sales and the customer management. The Finance &
Accounts will be outsourced to an external accountant and supervised by the promoter.

Baby   Steps   has   identified   two   distinct   market   segments   to   target.   The   first
segment   is   the   actual   parents,   those   that   are   buying   the   products   for
themselves, their babies or for their spouses. The second group are friends and
other people buying gifts.

E. Strategy 

Baby Steps will leverage their competitive edge of product selection for both women
and children to gain market share. The products will be sourced from Ernakulam and
Coimbatore. 
Baby Steps will be the only state of the art store offering clothing and accessories in
Adimali for expectant and new mothers, as well as for infants and children. This will
create unmatched convenience and lead to higher customer tickets. 
The store will be laid out in a 500 Sq.ft area in ........, with a view to cater to the needs
of   nearby   locations   like   ....................................   The   location   is   surrounded   by   major
hospitals   –   General   Hospital,   Morning   Star   Medical   Centre,   Vijayaraja   Hospital,
Kurian’s Clinic, Mapanikattu Hospital etc. 
The   marketing   strategy   will   be   two­pronged   in   its   attempt   to   increase   the   target
customer's awareness of Baby Steps; a focused advertising campaign and the location
of the retail space. The advertising measures include hoardings, brochures, local print,
audio and visual media, social media marketing and search engine optimization. 
The sales strategy will be to offer the highest level of customer service. All employees
will   receive   training   on   customer   attention.   All   customers   will   be   given   as   much
attention as they need, and, no customers will leave the store unsatisfied, even if they
do not make a purchase. Ensuring all customers are both satisfied and impressed with
the service that they received, will ensure a steady increase in sales.
