Marketing Plan
Powershirts
CASE OVERVIEW Powershirts is a potential e-tailing partner for a clothing manufacturer located in Guadalajara, Mexico. The information we were given about Powershirts and the manufacturer is very limited, and we had no direct contact with management. The manufacturer has sold shirts in the Mexican market and has also sold men's slacks in the United States under a label undisclosed to us. They can produce shirts in any color; sleeve length, weight, and can add a logo to their products. While we do not have specifics regarding plant capacity, financial resources, or cost information, we have been told they have sufficient capacity and financial reserves to expand. Our goal has been to consider potential markets Powershirts may enter, and to prepare a general marketing plan, including web site design and content.
WHAT IS THEIR MARKET? Considering the information we have about Powershirts, the markets we have focused on are the advertising specialty market and e-commerce. These markets include many different popular products such as mouse pads, mugs, glasses, hats pens, and basically any product a logo or emblem can be printed or embroidered on. Shirts are also included in this market. Businesses need shirts with logos not only as uniforms, but to advertise for their company or to inspire employee loyalty. Sports teams, schools, and hospitals also purchase shirts with logos on then and could be potential clients. Also, non-profit organizations purchase shirts with emblems to advertise about their group or their goals. Powershirts' ability to produce quality shirts with embroidery or printing gives them the ability to enter this market. Also, buyers do not have strong brand loyalty in this market but rather focus on the quality of the product and the quality of the customer service. Thus, although there are many competitors in this market, it seems Powershirts may easily enter it. This is also an area that may provide Powershirts
