BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
History
The concept of exchanging gift has common for many years. This trend has increased for
last two decades and number of choices is provided to customers. Today choices exist
according to the requirement of the customers.From the beginning it is common tradition
to take only fruits and sweets when people go to their relatives and friends. With the
passage of time this trend changed day by day due to changes in the lifestyle of people.
Now they moved to the different variety of gifts and fresh flowers along with fruits and
sweets.
Gift is our cultural tradition when we go to our relatives, friends on any event. We buy
some sort of gifts, sweets, cards and fresh flowers for them.
Gift-giving is one of the good manners that maintains and strengthens relations between
the giver and the recipient. It is one of the acts that Prophet Muhammad
Messenger of Allaah used to accept gifts and reward people for giving them."
O! People provide gifts to each other it will create love between them.
In past, people visited more shops for purchasing a single gift. It was very time
consuming. So mostly people preferred to give money on different occasions such as
birth on baby, wedding ceremony and birthday and some other occasions. Now people
have changed their trend due to change in their social life. They shifted toward gifts and
fresh flowers this trend has made a separate business of gifts which provides gifts
according to the customer’s needs and requirements.
Our business CLASSIC GIFT SHOP will facilitate the customers to all traditional and
modern ranges of products such as gifts, sweets, cards, fruits, fresh flowers under one
roof. So that people not need to travel more to find different gifts as well as sweets or
fruits.
Competitive Edge:
Competitive edge is their ability to effectively serve both market segments at the same
time, a feat that no other gift shop has been able to do. Classic has accomplished this by
leveraging two competitive advantages’ the first element is a wide product selection that
appeal to target markets. While some of the products (five categories) come close to
pushing the limits of good taste, nothing is offensive or outrageously obscene. This
creates an atmosphere that has an edge, but one in which anyone would feel comfortable.
The classic concept is being led by customers as well as students. Our main features of

2. MARKET ANALYSIS
Overall market:
Although the market of gift shop is already existed but even then it has potential to
growth. The CLASSIC GIFT SHOP will be successful in doing something that no other
retail card/gift store has been able to do because all these things are available in market
but at different places.
CLASSIC GIFTS is a gift store specializing in cards, sweets, flowers, fruits and
decoration pieces. These are five main segment of business. The gifts and fruits segment
that are currently provide more sale. On occasionally basis flowers category is a major
consumer hot button according market research. CLASSIC GIFT SHOP will provide all
these categories to facilitate their customers and create unique indemnity. We currently
has one location, that is located in Gujrat. CLASSIC GIFT SHOP' goal is to provide new
and exciting products in an environment that is fun and friendly for customer and staff
alike. Customer service is our no 1 priority. Our Business focal point on the students
that to make modern their lifestyle. They decorate their rooms according to their
requirement and satisfaction as well as study point of view.
Buyers have a power to bargain because there are number of gift shops exist in the
market, low price offered by the other shops is one of the reasons behind this. If the
selling firm wants to attain the attention of buyer it should communicate to the buyer that
its product has special features CLASSIC GIFT SHOP will differentiate its product on
the base of quality and services.
Suppliers in flowers, fruits and artificial gifts are not that powerful because there are
many suppliers exist in the market.
Sweets shops
Gondal Sweets at Jalal Pur Jattan Road
QandFishan Sweets at Chowk Pakistan
Sialkot Sweets at Ramtalai Road Gujrat
And some other small competitors have large share in the market and provide our
substitute products.
The Threat of New Entrants:
The entry barriers are low but new entrants do not usually have the financial assets to
face large competitors. Structural barriers are also low because no tremendous financial
resources are required to launch a new venture, Due to this entrants focus in short run.
CLASSIC GIFT SHOP provide quality services to its customers and distinguish its
product from others competitors. Because large suppliers are available in the market.
CLASSIC GIFT SHOP only achieve its goals by providing distinguish product from their
competitors.
MICROENVIRONMENT INFLUENCES:
Political:
If government ban on raw material like solid salt, iron, steel, glass used to make gift
items or Impose heavy penalty on to make it so it’s a big threat for our businessSome
heavy taxes impose on large gift centers.
Economic:
Employment level and per capita income, when the per capita income low of
people so their purchasing power also low.
Cut though competition is found in gift business it’s depend upon quality, design,
taste etc.
We require the safe environment for gifts and should be neat and clean
(hygienically) environment for sweets, and fruits and vice versa.
This type of business requires more labor and also suffers labor cost.
Social:
Gifts are cultural activity if people change or shift any other trend therefore it’s socially
threat for our business. Religion emphasizes us about gift. If people follow idealism they
will be leave this activity. In modern era people change their life style they will move on
interior items. When the fashion & trend changed people will move that trend so it is
socially threat for our business.
Technological:
Research and development is necessary for our business as well as its threat for us. This
type of business requires modern technology to reduce the labor as well as in innovation
in the products.
Continuously reviewing our inventory and sales and adjusting our inventory levels
accordingly.
Ecological analysis:
Our products are beneficent for society it creates and increase love and affection
between two lovers, relatives and friends.

Now the trend has changed and a shift in consumer preferences occurs. Two decades ago,
Trend of exchanging of gifts is not as popular as now. It is one of the cultural tradition
that when someone go to the other’s home. He/she considers it is better to take something
like fruits, sweets, gifts or flowers according to the event. According to our survey,
consumers can be classified into four categories:
Social: Social consumer include those people who go to other’s home and meet with
others and want to buy some fruits, sweets, or gifts to take for hosts along with them.
Interior designer: Tend to those people who have been interest to decorate their homes
with different decoration items like wall sceneries.
Entertainers: Entertainers are those who seek to attend parties like birthday parties and
marriage ceremonies. They have to purchase some gifts as well as sweets and flowers.
Potential customers: some customers prefer our products due to quality and service
and reasonable price.
Other key trends indicates that people, due to their busy schedules are seeking to buy
different things like gifts, fresh flowers, fruits and sweets at one place. Now a days, value
oriented people desire quality in fruits and sweets, strong packing and convenience.
In our project of gift shop that name is CLASSIC GIFT SHOP open in Gujrat city then
expanding it in other cities.
Marketing strategy:
Product:
We will offer gifts, flowers, fruits, and sweets that can be used as both for our personal
use and as a gifts to others. Our competitive advantage will be providing a variety of gifts
along with fresh flowers, fruits and sweets, and also our ability to keep up all these things
according to market trends and customer requirements.
Pricing:
Researcher indicates that consumers wishes to pay the possible lowest price. After
comparison with other products initially we will use cost based price strategy. We will
use this strategy to capture the market and facilitate customers.
Average price of different items is provided:
Classic gift shop will use direct selling strategy so there will be no need the distribution
channel. When we promote our business as website lunching or facilitate the customers
on telephone service so we will be need 1-3 distributor persons in near future.
Advertising:
Print (broachers, banners) and local TV channels advertising will be used to gain the
awareness of our product and encourage consumer to visit our outlet.
Its position as a combination of gifts, fresh flowers, fruits and sweets will be explained.
Our research indicate that people are comfortable with this positioning, Because when
they go to buy some sort of gifts or fresh flowers as well as some fruits or sweets they
have to stay at different places. We want consumer’s acceptance for this positioning and
build a brand image that reinforces variety of things and convenience.
Promotion:
We will use several promotion activities as part of our marketing concept. Cost of basket
for providing fruits are estimated Rs. 100. Further we will promote our products through
web pages, where people/customer can order for their required products. We estimate the
server costs and development costs to be “5000” for the first year. With the help of web
page catalog will be quickly updated. It will also provide feedback from the customers
through e-mail. We will offer a small gift if someone buy two gifts. As, it has been shown
that giving something free promote sales.
Product packaging:
CLASSIC GIFT SHOP will use boxes for gifts, tin boxes for sweets and baskets for fruits
packaging. It’s costing will be………………….There is some reason for this
packaging .it look attractive and unique, especially for fruits packaging. It is practical and
re-useable. We will encourage buyers to re-use the baskets and boxes for other purposes,
creating an environment friendly image.
Competitor’s Strengths
Our major competitors (Dubai collection, Siddique Corporation) have potential location
which is giving them the edge over other gift shops. They have captured the gift shop
market with attractive location but they are charging skimming prices as well. Although
they have threat to us in terms of gifts range but we will provide some extra features in
our business which never have been before in any business.
We will provide sweets and fresh flowers to customers in order to capitalize the
opportunity of attracting more customers’ then that of them. The main edge our
competitors have that they are operating for a long time and with attractive designs in
their products, but we will target a great deal of those gifts which will ethical and
religiously attract the customer as well can be used as decoration pieces.
We will provide our products in an outlet where different counters are provided for
different products. Fresh flower, fruits and sweets section of our business will be a unique
idea which is never been implemented by any of our competitors. It will be based on our
strategy to increase the profits of the business.
During our first 1,2 years we will be selling our products through our own shop but using
the two tiered market approach we will soon be reachable in high society areas where
rich people like to shop around the gifts and decorate their houses in order to show some
status symbols in the their societies.

Deal Structure:
CLASSIC GIFT SHOP will require Rs.500000 to start up and grow at the rapid rate
necessary for the shop to achieve its potential.
We will outsource our gifts, fresh flowers, fruits and sweets from famous
manufactures for sweets with Qandfishan located in Gujrat, flowers contracted
with Sajid flower shop located in Gujrat and Artificial gifts and cards contracted
with Holiday gift industry located in Madni market Gujranwala and Classic cards
located in Urdu bazar Lahore.Although we feel we can maintain a strong
relationship with each contracted party, there is potential that they may choose to
manufacture our product for their own purposes, like they open their own outlet
and provide same things that we will provide.In addition, any manufacture cease
production of our products for any reason. This could cause a shortage in supply.
Inconsistent quality in the production of our products is possible because we can
not directly supervise its production.
Our business is trading concern so; we don’t have any patent for our products.
When we will go to the other cities for promotion, the people of these cities may
not accept our product as early time period.
Sale may increase rapidly; it will require additional capital to meet these needs.
We hope our contracted parties will be able to provide products to handle increase
in demand.
At the start, our sale may be less than expected. So, will reduce our profit margin,
and used cost based strategy. We also have potential team that will be helpful to
gain our desired sales.
The concept of providing combination of gifts with fresh flowers, fruits and
sweets that is not already exist according to our survey this idea is acceptable
So, this is not a great threat.
Our business has no contingent liability. We will try to prevent from all these risk that we
described.
