Future Group Competition: Ground Zero
However, HomeTown also exists in an age which sees 2 additional dimensions:
≒ Desire to make your own home, with things as personalised as possible
≒ Retail is out, e-tail is in.
Hometown Wants To Sell More Than Just
Furniture. It Wants To Give You A
Complete Home Solution.
So, the question posed is, In a time where everyone and everything is online, how does
HomeTown rede鍖ne a saturated category?
We need to attract consumers, provide them relevant value, while still keeping an
eye on the bottom line.
Exploring
Opportunities
Shift from collectivistic to
individualistic society
This means that individuals are going
to leave behind the notion of joint
families, and set up their nest earlier,
and on their own.
This means more homes to
decorate!
Consumers today want
personalisation.
They are spoilt for choice, and are
鍖ckle, so loyalty levels are low.
The TG is tech savvy.
This means that we need to
actively involve the consumer, and
we need to move fast!
Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality
through Holograms are no more an
idea of the future. The future is now!
This means that there are pieces of
technology that by themselves may
be irrelevant, but put together may
create some magic!

New want for their own feel
in terms of colour, size
They want to touch and feel
only chairs, and sofas.
Beds are seen, but not touched, or sat on
as the mattresses are sold separately
Customers dont listen to the
recommendations of the store
managers; Ulterior motive of
suggesting a brand

Customer experience was our prime
motivation. Everything else was just
a tool to achieve that.

Signi鍖cant point of advantage: Salesmen can recommend more items on the basis of
items at home and the d辿cor, and increase ticket size
By combining these pieces of technology, we will be able to rede鍖ne the category for
consumers, and give them something no one else has.

NOT work?
Not for those who

SCALABILITY
The B2B Market
From the perspective of a B2B extension, this model is extremely sound.
Hotels:
If hotels can give us a mapped area of a room, we can provide solutions to them. Since
they have 鍖xed room architecture, this will be easy to execute
Styles, colours, themes, models can be quickly seen, approved and purchased.
