ONLINE COUNSELLING SERVICE
INDUSTRY
INTRODUCTION
Nowadays community, everyone evaluated by their appearance, outfit and body shape,
especially female. This unfriendly situation many social problems such as cosmetic
surgery, over diet or even suicide. Instead of making yourself more fit in others expect,
to solve these problems has to reduce the fundamental thinking. For example, first,
women need to recognize and accept their selves. Second, be enough confident about
what they are. Last make them self-precious. To reach this goal I would like to build a
special company that provide them a way to find out their own potential value through
internet.

Overall attractiveness of the industry:
It is a low attractive market although every products form the beauty industry is
different, the purpose is same. Therefore, variety companies and products are
competing in the same time and it is easy to enter the market. The only way is to make
our products more useful and customize.
3. 3 Customers and Their Needs
Normally customers will come to us is because they already lost their way and
confidence. Everyone can come to our beauty class but to be honest the lesson which we
provide is aim for women. For example, cooking, ikebana, design, make up...etc.



Therefore, our customers are mainly female from everywhere and every-age in New
Zealand. Our job is to make them more positive and optimistic to the life.
3. 4 The Product and Service
We mainly provide our customers with some professional lessons (studio
classroom) which women will be interesting in like cooking, ikebana, design
and sports. Through these online training, they might be more confident and
proud of them self. Also, we have members club and outdoor activities which
form up in our website that will hold parties regularly for them to meet some
new people which can enhance their social skills.
Overall, our service aim to cure their mental problems in a simple way. Once
women have something they can show off and feel professional, they will not
be depress or over focus on their face value.
3. 5 Suppliers and Partners
Our suppliers would be application companies who create an application of believed our
self to help us achieve the goal through a humour way. For example, making an
application which for women to type their height and weight and it will comes out a
Hollywood module to represent them. Also, an application which can provide online
lesson to our members in the cell phone so they can learning anywhere and anyplace.
Furthermore, women magazine will be another important suppliers for us to put on
companys information and advertisement.
We would be working in partnership with women's union, schools or workplaces. With
the successful introduction of our online lesson purpose, they will be able to follow suit
and take advantage of the new and reduced the environment discrimination on female.
Furthermore, schools will be able to educate children in the right values and hence they
will be aware of the benefits of believe them self.
3. 6 Strategy: Differentiation (FOCUSED MARKET)
The company mainly focused in female who already lost their confidence (psychological
side). Therefore, make our lesson special and suitable (customise) for each woman's
different needed. The differentiation of our products and service come from the
innovation behind potential capability the processes of learning in order to make it
reality and more persuasiveness for everyone. Also, the price will be charge differently
which depends in the service. The overall strategy is therefore Differentiation.




3. 7 Value Chain Activity: Make the product or service.




The most important value chain activity for business is to make the product and service.
Companys products are the lesson and service is counselling their thinking after class. Our products
have to be very useful and suitable for customers. Not only provide them special lesson but also
guide them to the right value of their body and appearance.
Overall, the service of the lesson, activities are very important to the business, if we cannot make
products correctly, then we are unable to fulfil the purpose of our business which is to provide the
chance and positive thinking for female.
