MN209 CA Group 3; Christina Conlon 10304933 Joe Kennedy 10393749 Lorna Mc Carrick 10372535The Small to Medium Enterprise that our group, Group 3, choose to interview for our Continuous Assessment was Rosso Solini Secret Soles, a small business from Kilcullen, County Kildare which has gone from strength to strength in recent years.
CEO and Owner of Rosso Solini Secret Soles, Tara Haughton. Age 16.
CEO and owner of Rosso Solini, Tara Haughton created the product and founded the business while she was in transition year of secondary school in her mini-company class.
Rosso Solini’s Business Model is based on the concept of the Business Model Framework which consists of 9 Component Parts.
One internal practice that Rosso Solini considers to be an area of strength is the business’s emphasis on quality customer service.
The traditional high end fashion houses are often more inflexible when it comes to customer service as they consider their products more of a privilege than a purchase. Rosso Solini is a more personable and accessible business which makes them more endearing to potential customers.
This is a customer profile of the age bracket of Rosso Solini’s target market, with the highest percentage of customers being within the age of 25 to 34.
The business is about to launch a distribution centre in New York City to distribute Rosso Solini’s products to outlets across the United States.Rosso Solini’s products are currently available in 22 different countries worldwide. Rosso Solini has been well received in Asian and Australian markets.
An internal challenge that Rosso Solini has to manage is Human Resource Management. The business will have to manage the recruitment of new staff to be employed at Rosso Solini’s new venture in the United States.
One external challenge that the business may faced with is intellectual property law. Tara Haughton stated that her business did not used the same shade of red that Christian Louboutin uses when designing his shoes and asked did Henry Ford sue other auto manufacturers for making black cars?
One internal practice that Rosso Solini considers to be an area of strength is their ability to be decisive. The business is very focused on their overall strategic objectives. They demonstrate this by incorporating the Decision Making Process into the day to day running of their business. These daily decisions are vital to the success of the business in the long term. Rosso Solini is committed to their strategic objectives.
We suggest that Rosso Solini should look into more advertising opportunities. If the business looked into advertising avenues such as advertising on billboards and possibly investing in television adverts, this would create greater brand awareness for Rosso Solini and their products. In turn, this would generate further sales and revenue.
