CHAPTER 1: CONTEXT
A. Executive Summary
Fashion retailers are missing out on a large market opportunity of $9 billion
(Schlosseberg, 2015) by neglecting plus size women needs. The average
woman is a size 14 (Los Angeles Times, 2015) but most fashion retailers still
catering to woman who wear sizes 0, 2 and 4. Plus size women are known to
spend more if given more options on clothing in terms of styles and trends
with 21% of plus size women spend $150 minimum spending on clothing and
accessories, compared to 15% for standard size (Modcloth, 2015). The ‘plus
size’ swimwear market is underdeveloped and can be considered high
underdeveloped in Hong Kong and across Asia and therefore open to growth.
This identified gap and huge market potential give rational to develop
products for consumers seeking apparel that differs from the typical “Asian
standard body measurement chart” and to develop a brand that resonates
with the large demographic.
‘Every Inch’ offers a beachwear line catering to female ages 16-38 years old
leading with a plus-size ladies niche product range and clearly defined target
customer. Retailed initially online and based in Hong Kong, anticipated
success allows for quick expansion opportunities across Asia, and even
Europe and the Americas. Every Inch will serve as a diverse brand that caters
for all sizes from size XS to 6X. The product line will include swimsuits,
bikinis with 100% UV protection, cover-ups to protect the consumers from
the sun, dresses and accessories such as beach towels.
The total required budget for Every Inch campaign cost around
HK$6,952,800, the total benefit will be HK$7,174,900 and the expected
return on investment for the year 2016 will be HK$221,540. Overall in 3
years, Every Inch will gain a profit of HK$4,760,740. In order to achieve this,
Every Inch will need to perform an effective advertising strategy, marketing
and creative plan which will be discussed in this document.

B. Situation Analysis
1. Key Macroeconomic Factors (PESTLE Analysis)
I. Political - THREATS
Every Inch as a business can expand across Asia, Europe and the
Americas. Every Inch needs to ensure authenticity before producing
product, to avoid legal issues of copyrights, trademarks or product
similarities issues. We must also be aware of international trade policies.
II. Economical - OPPORTUNITIES
As mention in page 3, fashion retailers are missing a $9 billion in plus-size
market and that they are willing to spend at about $150 worth of
shopping spending. Every Inch will have the opportunity to attract the
plus-size consumers by producing stylish swimwear.

III. Social - OPPORTUNITES
People are getting bigger and becoming more active during summer. But
the plus-size markets are being under-developed in Asia (Ward 2015).
Every Inch will have the opportunity to cater for the plus-size market by
creating a stylish and unique style that can fit them. Every Inch will carry
and to encourage plus-size women to feel comfortable, sexy and worthy
when they purchase our product. The social media is now essential for
business access. Every Inch will this opportunity to promote the brand
through social media.
IV. Technological - OPPORTUNITIES
The Internet is a part of our waking day. People operate devices
everywhere they go, with an average of 150 screen views per day (Leung,
2015). Every Inch has an opportunity to create engaging content via
YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, to trend in the social media platforms.
Advertising with drive traffic, Direct Marketing a part of the conversation
and leading to conversion. All of the technological efforts aim to convert
into sale. Every Inch can use this opportunity to promote the brand, while
the Internet is very popular all over the world.
V. Legal – THREATS
There is a big chance that Every Inch will face copyright issues, not
necessarily the brand but other fashion brand may try to copy Every Inch
and this make the swimwear brand less valuable. Every Inch also need to
be aware of what other fashion retailers are doing and making sure that
the creative team are aware of copyright infringement issues. The
Creative Director of the company need to guide and monitor the designers
in every pieces that they produce.
4 major studio project - Every Inch business plan
VI. Environmental - THREATS
The need for UV Protection:
The importance of Fitness has led to a surge in outdoor exercises
exposing us to harmful sunrays. Wearing UV protection products can
protect our skin from sun damage that can lead to skin cancer. In 10
years, an increase of more than 2 million diagnosed with skin cancer has
been recorded (Sparks, 2015). Therefore, Every Inch will have the
opportunity to introduce a swimwear brand that consists of 100% UV
protection, create safer products and to educate consumer on how UV
protection is important, as it protects our skin from exposing in the sun
that may possibly lead to skin cancer (Sparks, 2015).
Weather effect on Fashion Sales:
Weather will play a crucial part in a swimwear brand. The summer in
Hong Kong is between June-August, the junk boat party season. Hong
Kong experiences typhoons, thunderstorms, and rain even during the
summer. Every Inch will face a big threat if in case a typhoon arrived
during the junk boat party day. This will affect not only the consumer’s
interest but also the cost of the junk boat and the cost for postponing the
event. The business might lose more rather than gaining any profit. Every
Inch must detail this in delivery and try to maximize conversation
opportunities online around the weather.
major studio project - Every Inch business plan 5
2. Key Microeconomic Factors (Porters Five Forces)
Threat of Substitutes:
(THREATS) Economies of scale can capture market share
quicker. With many swimwear brands
accessible globally, Every Inch must
differentiate the brand promise to resonate
with target customers. With all brands
following pre-requisite ‘trends’, similarity is
inevitable. Every Inch needs to come up with
something exciting, while following trends,
but be different for it personality.
Existing Rivalry:
(OPPORTUNITIES) Every Inch will face many rivalries in the
swimwear market. Whether in Hong Kong or
an internationally brand, most swimwear
brand carries smaller sizes: Roxy, Ozzie
Cozzie. H&M, Forever 21 and ASOS offer
larger sizes for women. As tough competitors
Every Inch’s opportunity is unique designs
that your friends wont be wearing.

Threat of Substitutes

Threat of New
Entrants
Supplier Bargaining
Power
Customer Bargaining Power:
(OPPORTUNITIES) To keep the customer interested, promotional
discounts are an effective bargaining power
in Hong Kong (Chen, 2015). However as a
new brand with little brand loyalty Every
Inch must keep a part of the contestation and
promote and remind through all channels.
Threat of New Entrants:
(OPPORTUNITIES) In order for Every Inch to enter the
swimwear market easily, the marketing plan
and advertisement need to look attractive
and something that consumers would feel
excited about the brand. Every Inch has
unique selling point of catering for small to
larger sizes, 100% UV protection swimsuits
and exciting collaborations with different
party event in Hong Kong and across Asia.
Supplier Bargaining Power:
(THREATS) The suppliers will increase competition
within an industry by threatening to raise
prices and reduce the good quality and
services into a weaker one. Every Inch will
face a threat in terms of pricing issues. While
the suppliers will increase the prices with fair
or bad quality, Every Inch will then be forced
to increase their selling prices and this may
led to consumer not to buy the product due to
high price.

4. Brand Unique Selling Point
The unique selling points of this brand will be the fact that it caters for
plus-size ladies with larger sizes, creating swimwear that uses Lycra
and fabrics containing UV protection. UV protection is important
because it protects our skin from sun exposure that would lead to skin
cancer.
The Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) fabrics protect us from strong
heat radiation and sun exposure. Therefore we desire to create a
brand not only to sell unique swimwear but to also protect our
consumer from obtaining skin disease as one of our priority. This
makes our brand more valuable.
5. Differentiation
Every Inch is different from other main competitors such as, Roxy,
Ozzie Cozzie, H&M, O’Neill and Sabina Swims. It is because Every Inch
sells swimwear that consists of 100% UV protection and we cater
sizes from XS-6X. Every Inch also provides a unique packaging design
to be shipped out to the consumers.
Every Inch also has numbers of marketing and advertising strategy
such as, Junk boat party, party collaborations in summer events in
Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore, look book distributions in
selected well-known bars and coffee shop in Hong Kong, newspaper
advertisement in one of the popular and free distribution of
newspaper in Hong Kong, HK Magazine, and partnering with Sassy
