Metalart: Retailing for the High-End market
Revamping, Restructuring, Innovating Using the Profit Model Approach
By
Farah Woolley
The market
Handicraft production is a primary source of employment for many underdeveloped countries. The world handicrafts market is estimated to be US $235 billion. With increased globalization, products are becoming more and more homogeneous, with artisans facing increased competition from producers all over the world, particularly in China which represents the most dominant exporter in the global home accessory market.
At one time, Haiti was the premier supplier of handicrafts in the Caribbean. In 2005, Haitian total exports were estimated at $391–$416 million, about 80 percent of which went to the United States, Haiti’s largest commercial partner. Estimates for handicraft exports for that year range from less than $10 million to as much as $40 million. By the 1990s, the political situation and the embargo on exports had significantly destroyed the capability of most industries in Haiti. Yet many of those who are familiar with the situation believe that the handicraft sector, which includes as many as 400,000 artisans, remains one of the few promising sectors in Haiti’s devastated economy.
The company
Metalart is a medium size manufacturing company specialized in the production of metal, wrought iron and papier mâché motifs for the home décor segment. The metal crafts represent the biggest share of the company`s production. 105 artisans and staffs are currently employed, either as salaried employees or outside contractors The company has been keen on providing the highest quality handicrafts, meeting the agreed delivery dates, and executing the custom work exactly in accordance with the customers’ concept. Metalart has and still going through rough times with the constant political turmoil and economic difficulties. The focus of this business plan is to identify the company’s weaknesses and strategically plan its future.
The new strategies
• Identify and sell to market niches such as high-end home accessories
• Look to local and regional markets for opportunities that may have been overlooked
• Invest in resources to reliably deliver modest quantities of unique, high quality goods destined for higher-end retail stores.
• Through the Profit Capturing Mechanism Metalart must beat the local competition and increasing their profit margins.
