The Vision

CREATING A CONVENIENT SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

Adzurra will revolutionise the shopping experience, creating the digital bridge between
online shopping and bricks and mortal retail.

SHOPPING ON MOBILE PHONES IS THE FUTURE

The mobile app market is growing faster than ever. New research on mobile behavior
shows that consumers spend 85% of their time on smartphones whether it be walking to
work, waiting on trains or using social media late at night. This percentage is only
expected to rise as mobile technology becomes more sophisticated.

Smartphones provide convenience. Adzurra taps into this market by giving users access to
a wide range of eCommerce and retail stores on their smart phones with the latest sales,
promotions, location based alerts and more.

GROWTH POTENTIAL

Adzurra provides convenience to all shoppers around the world. The capacity for Adzurra
to grow is limitless similarly to Uber, the worlds largest taxi company, owns no vehicles
or Facebook, the worlds most popular media provider, owns no content. Adzurra has the
potential to become the worlds largest fashion provider owning no retail or eCommerce
stores.

The Vision
Adzurra aims to be the largest fashion provider,
that owns no retail or eCommerce stores.
Background
Currently, there is no convenient way to nd the latest and newest products and brands
that are trending on social media. There are three main marketing providers on the
Internet that have great functionality through phones:

1. Google
2. Facebook
3. Instagram

On Google, the marketing platform works on a bid basis. The higher the bid, the higher
the brand ranks on Google. Unfortunately, this has allowed brands with large budgets to
monopolise the Google market with their own advertisements. As a result, small and up-
and-coming brands nd it extremely di cult to rank for their speci c key words, especially
if the industry is very popular (for example retail). However, the advantage Google has
over the other platforms is that it seeks to provide targeted marketing. This is due to the
thesis that people who search keywords such as shopping, retail or clothes are
presumed to be looking for something to buy.

On Facebook, unlike Google, most users are not searching for products or brands. Most
users use Facebook for personal use thus, the ads are usually presented through a
sponsored ad on the main feed or on the side panels. The best asset Facebook holds,
similarly to Instagram, is the idea of discovery. Users can scroll down their feed and
discover new brands based on brands they have previously searched or clicked on. This
gives Facebook an edge in the marketing game but similarly to Google, can be extremely
expensive if the brand is looking for targeted marketing.

Finally, the most recent player on the Internet game is Instagram. Owned by Facebook,
Instagram has grown into the best platform for small and medium sized businesses to sell
their products. It provides users the illusion of discovery that Facebook provides plus the
products recommended to users are targeted based on which brands they follow and
photos they like. Unfortunately, the downfall of Instagram is that it is extremely difficult
to nd new brands unless you follow their page or you follow an in uencer. The
Instagram community also nd sponsored ads a nuisance because Instagram users tend
to focus on organic following rather than paid ads. Similarly to Facebook, Instagram users
are also on the platform for social media purposes and not to be sold too.

Adzurra has taken all three ideas of targeted marketing, discovery and convenience to
provide a seamless Internet shopping experience.
Costs of Advertising

Instagram: With a user base of 700 million, the cost per thousand views of a targeted
sponsored ad is $6.70.[1]

Facebook: With a user base of 2 billion monthly active users, the cost per thousand views
of a targeted ad alone is $7.34.

GoogleAds: With a user base of 2 billion monthly active users plus 1 billion hours of video
watched each day on YouTube, the cost per click on a Google Adword varies between
$0.25 to $20 per click (depending on competitiveness, tags, industry and audience).

Adzurra: Adzurra is primarily focused on providing online stores and retail shops the user
base who already have the buying intent to nd new brands and products. This gives
Adzurra the competitive edge. Users are discovering new brands and products each day
without having to go through personal content. The best part Adzurra will be charging
businesses $1 a day regardless of impressions, click throughs or ranking.

Adzurra

Logging in: Initially, the user will be required to log in to their Facebook or
Instagram (mostly, Instagram - setting another trend that users will log on to
Instagram rather than Facebook). This will allow the users to uidly interchange between
Instagram and Adzurra.

First Page: Upon logging in, the main page will show a feed of all the popular trends on
Adzurra. The user will also be able to interchange between 'Trends' to 'What's new' in
order to discover new and up and coming brands on social media. This gives the
underdogs of social media a chance to shine. The third option in the front page is to
discover trends around the world - Adzurra will provide a map that shows which brands
people are liking, purchasing from or are impressed with 'impressions' in different cities
such as Paris or New York. This gives users an idea on what is trending in fashion all over
the globe.

Second Page: Upon clicking on 'Trending', 'Whats New' or 'Global Fashion', the user will be
presented with two feeds- a product feed and a store feed. Users may nd what products
are trending or what store's and brands are heavily liked as well.

Third Page: When a User clicks on the Product or Brand, the store's mini website will be
showcased where their Instagram feed is shown, their Facebook is integrated and their
content is published. Adzurra simply connects users to brands and does not provide the
transaction phase.

Account Page: When a user creates a pro le or logs in with their Instagram (Facebook etc),
the user will be able to access previous products and brands that they have liked and a
maps feature to show which stores or brands are special and where they are located.
Users of Adzurra will be noti ed when their products are on sale, if the product is near
them (if they are shopping) and if there is something that is trending highly (a celebrity
sponsor) on Adzurra.

GENDER

Adzurra caters for men and women.

The best thing about Adzurra is that the platform is tailored to your style based on what
you previously liked.
What about Bricks and Mortar Shops?
Though e-Commerce is growing faster than ever, the future of in-store shopping is not
extinct. Research by GFK Global showed that the appeal of online shopping is cost savings,
broader choice, immediacy and convenience. Conversely, the appeal of in-store shopping
is face to face interaction, instant grati cation of receiving goods upon purchase and the
tactile experience of physically interacting with the product.

Adzurra believes that the future of in store shopping serves a different purpose to online
shopping one can prosper with the other. The myth that in-store shopping is becoming
extinct due to online shopping is false as both types of shopping serve extremely different
purposes.

This is the reason why Adzurra works with eCommerce businesses and bricks and mortar
shops. Users can find products and stores that have an online presence as well as an
actual store in their local areas. Geo-tagging allows users to find products near them,
sending notifications of sales and promotions from stores based on location.

Shopping is an experience for everyone.


The Global Experience

Adzurras unique value proposition is that the app uses location based data to help users
locate products and stores, send notifications of sales and promotions and discover new
trends, brands and styles trending on social media globally.

Fashion is a global language in a globalised world


Sharine Hornig, CEO of Adzurra
Financial Overview
According to LemonStand, an eCommerce Software Platform for online retailers,
currently there are 12 million e-commerce stores on the internet.

So if Adzurra can capture just 1% of the worlds current online retail market:

120,000 x $1

___________

$120,000 a day x 365= 43,800,000.

___________

$43,800,000 p.a

and this doesnt include your bricks and mortar shops or click throughs.

According to the Australian Government Productivity Commission, there are


140,000 retail businesses in Australia.

In terms of bricks and mortar shops, if we only target 1% of the Australian market

1,400 x $1

____________

$1400 a day x 365 = $511,000 per year

____________

$511,000 p.a

First Year Forecast

If the first year figure is 1000 stores (eCommerce and Bricks and Mortar)...
1000 x $1

__________

$1000 a day x 365 = $365,000 per year

___________

$365,000 p.a GROSS

Other options for generating revenue can be click throughs ($10c per click through to a
website) and an RSS Feed where content by our stores can be published for more website
traffic.

But if we work on achieving the 1% of eCommerce and Bricks and Mortar Stores over the
next 3 years...

eCommerce: 1% is 120,000

Bricks and Mortar: 1% is 1,400

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3


eCommerce 40,000 80,000 120,000
Bricks and Mortar 466 932 1398

Service Fee $1 (p.a) $14,779,090 $29,540,180 $44,310,270

Option: Click Through $4046 a day x 365= $8,000 a day x 365= $12,139 a day x 365=

10c per click (1 click) $1,476,790 $2,920,000 $4,430,735
