1. Assignment
Create and launch a highly potential new private label named The Third in The Netherlands and Germany. The categories in which The Third offers products are: Home, Women, Men & Kids.
2. Project objectives
The objective of this project case is three-fold:
1) Create a Buying Plan in PowerPoint and related buying supporting documents;
2) Create 1 prototype in cooperation with a partner University;
3) Create an online shop window and promo video together with all groups, in which your actual prototype will be presented.
2.1 Buying Plan
Develop a new collection for your product group. Each employee has a specific role (see job descriptions). Make sure that all collections in the category home, women, men, kids match the identity of the brand. The Third wants to be a one-stop family store. Take while making the production plan all current developments in consideration. Each group designs a virtual floor plan for +/- 20m2 according to the “shop-in-shop” concept. Within the 20m2 there are 2 walls, which can be used in the floor plan. For the requirements of this Buying Plan, please see the study guide.
Next to the Buying Plan, you will also provide in a separate document:
1. Technical Pack, including prototype comments and packing manual (Excel file, file to be uploaded in .xlsx format);
2. Quality test report (word file);
3. Financial Plan (Excel file, file to be uploaded in .xlsx format);
