Short Summary
Universal Designs Salon, LLC (UDS) is seeking $8,000
to assist in our upcoming expansion phase. The expansion consists of selling hair products (hair extensions, ethnic/curly hair care products), presenting an aggressive advertisement campaign, and teaching ethnic/trendy hair
classes.
Hair Products
Universal Designs Salon currently service clients from a variety of
nationalities from Africans, African Americans to Hispanics, Indians, Caucasians, etc. While we have accumulated a steady clientele base in the last 3 years...UDS is consistently missing out on revenue due to not having
hair extensions and hair care products at hand. We currently send our clients and perspective clients
to order from online or go to
Milwaukee or Chicago to purchase their needs.
Hair Classes
In
Northeast Wisconsin we have a lot of bi-racial children and families that have
adopted African decent children. UDS would like to offer basic hair care and
styling classes so those parents can maintain their children hair between appointments. In beauty
schools the education on ethnic hair and extensions are very limited. There are
3,500 plus Salons in Northeast Wisconsin, therefore UDS would like to
fill the gap in educating a number of cosmetology professionals
in this area. Universal Designs Salon has conducted a cold calling survey to some of the salons in Green bay
and Appleton; 75 out of 200 salons said they would be interested in taking
the classes we would offer.
Advertisement Campaign
Advertisement is very important. Our number one best way of
advertisement is tied between word of mouth and people searching the internet (Google)
for black salons or salons that do extensions. We have clients coming not just
from Green bay and Appleton but from; Sturgeon Bay, Marinette, Upper Peninsula, the
Dells Winnebago county and other cities. Since our target market is spread out over the area, commercials are needed to reach more people.
