As part of my university journey, I completed a course project that required me to design and market a sustainable and profitable business idea. I received full marks and a bonus for my project, which impressed the course instructor, Dr. Daheri, who praised me for delivering a master’s degree students level work.
My project was STYLMe, an app-based solution that addresses the challenge of choosing and matching clothes for different occasions and preferences. This helps users find the perfect outfits for any occasion, while saving them time.
The app collects detailed data from the users about their measurements and style preferences when they sign up.
The app has two main offerings: a basic one and a premium one.
- Basic offering: provides suggestions for matching outfits from various clothing stores. This offering generates revenue by taking a commission or a fee from each purchase made through the app.
- Premium offering: a subscription service that sends users a box of tailored outfits every season, based on their preferences and measurements. This offering targets busy people who want to look fashionable without spending time on shopping and comparing.
I diversified the products to create different customer experiences and value propositions. I also developed the customer journey map, the marketing strategy, the pricing model, and the market entry plan for my project.
Although this was a theoretical project, I enjoyed working on it and applying the concepts of consumer behavior.
