Executive Summary

The Prada pop up shop in Peru was an idea created by students for their Retail Management class. The goal of this pop up shop was not only to leverage Prada’s sales and growth within Latin America, but to also create an art installation piece that will create buzz and excitement in Peru. Peru is an attractive location for Prada to build their pop up shop because of the amount of growth the country has been taking on and the high amount of tourism traffic. With currently no locations in Peru, Prada has the ability to be creative and innovative when penetrating into the Peruvian luxury market. An art installation will be a successful design solution for Prada’s pop up shop because it creates an experience leaving Peruvians wanting more. A pop up shop running for strictly a week time span will give Prada the chance to test out the market in Peru without losing too many sales and profits, causing financial risk. The Peruvian Prada pop up shop will be held in the Jockey Plaza in Lima, Peru. This places the pop up shop in the same location as most of its luxury competitors. The design of the shop will be minimal, modern, and clean, to portray the current futuristic aesthetic that the brand is displaying in it’s product lines and marketing. The team thinks that with a mysterious exterior and a short selling period, this will leave consumers feeling curious and acting with a sense of urgency. Prada will be able to get a quick analysis for if the market in Peru and if it is the right choice for them.

The PRADA Group is one of the world’s leaders in design, production and distribution of luxury handbags, small leather goods, footwear, ready-to-wear, accessories, eyewear and fragrances. The Group owns some of the most prestigious international brands: Prada, Miu Miu, Car Shoe and Church’s.

COMPANY ANALYSIS Prada currently sells footwear, perfumes, accessories, apparel, leather goods, and travel accessories. Prada is not only a product or brand but an entire experience when buying/ purchasing the product. Their business is defined as a multi-product luxury brand that manufactures their own products and distributes them through their own retail stores, as well as through multi brand third party retailers and its e-commerce site.

“Prada’s engagement in the world of ideas and innovation, as it has always considered fashion, luxury, and style as an overarching project beyond the continuous production of clothes, shoes, and bags. Careful observation of and curiosity about the world, society, and culture are at the core of Prada’s creativity and modernity. This pursuit has pushed Prada beyond the physical limitations of boutiques and showrooms, provoked an interaction with different and seemingly distant worlds, and introduced a new way to create a natural, almost fashionless fashion” (Prada, 2016) Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli

Prada was founded in 1913 by Mario Prada and his brother Martino. It was originally a leather goods shop named Fratelli Prada, meaning Prada Brothers. Mario’s daughter Lucia took over the company after his son showed no interested in the family business. Lucia’s own daughter, Miuccia, would follow, taking over the business in 1978. Miuccia and her business manager and now husband, Bertelli, evolved the company into what you see today. They ceased the importing of English goods, and began selling back packs and totes. With Bertelli aiding the business aspect of the company, Miuccia was able to focus on creative. Prada released it’s first set of backpacks and totes in 1979, while they were not an immediate success, they would become Prada’s iconic turning point. Miuccia and Bertelli then sought out wholesale department stores and boutiques to sell Prada. In 1989, Prada released its first women’s ready-to-wear collection. The 90’s solidified Prada as one of the top luxury houses in the world. They expanded their market into the US, and opened the high fashion brand Miu Miu, courtesy of Miuccia’s nickname. Mid-90s, they launched their Men’s ready-to-wear collection. Prada had grown into a multimillion dollar global company. By the end of the 90’s Prada was purchasing over 50% stakes in emerging designers such as Helmut Lang, and Jill Sanders, thus tripling their revenue. Today, Prada is a multibillion dollar company, with a reported revenue of 3.91 billion and approximately 11,500 employees.

MARKET POSITIONING The above map shows a comparison of Prada with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top five competitors. This perceptual map was created based on pricing and number of locations world wide. Pradaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitors all sell products ranging from accessories, leather bags, ready to wear clothing, eye-wear and shoes. Although Guess is not considered to be in the luxury market, they do pose some competition. According to research and findings, Prada has a very low accessibility and a high price point. Their prestige pricing keeps them in line with Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci. While Hermes, Coach, Burberry and Guess still have niche markets that can possibly take sales away from the Prada brand.

PRADA IN P ER U

Prada plans to expand and grow into the luxury market sector in Latin America. Latin America is currently an area where Prada lacks the most customers and number of physical retail locations. When thinking of a country that would be the best location for a Prada pop up shop, Colombia, Cuba, and Peru were explored. After much consideration, Peru was found to be the most promising. Political Risk factors state that Peru had low percentage of political risk. Peru also has a fairly high economic growth forecast at 6.33%. Peruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth is something that Prada can capitalize on.

STATE OF INDUSTRY Luxury retailers expanding by opening outlets and stores that target the upper and upper middle class customers. While luxury brands are affordable to a small number of population, some customers are using credit cards and purchasing luxury goods for aspirational reasons. Internet retailing has not shown a significant impact on sales in Peru, most local consumers prefer to shop in store. Rising disposable income levels enable consumers to purchase more often and spend on luxury items. Local manufacturers being approached by brands to create product locally and reduce cost, this has presented some issues as manufacturers are not equip to this type of demand. Local manufacturers should improve their production system in order to offer competitive prices. Key factors that are likely to be used by brands as competition grows in area are geographic expansion, periodical promotional activity, and improvements to customer service levels.

MARKET SIZE These numbers demonstrate the current retail industry state in Peru. While the past 5 years the retail sales percentage have seen a decrease, the retail sales index has increased. The market size is predicted to grow by monumental amounts within the next 5 years, making this an ideal time for Prada to test the waters in Peru.

INDIRECT COMPETITORS

Indirect Competitors of a Prada Pop Up Shop are other luxury brands currently in Peru. These luxury brands include Max Mara, Moschino, Versace, Bvlgari, TAG Heuer, and Dior. Brands specifically in the Jockey Plaza shopping mall that pose a threat include, BCBG,Armani, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Swarovski, Chanel Beauty, and Brooks Brothers. Online retailers that impose a threat to Pradaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business in Peru are Bag Borrow or Steal, which is an online platform where customers can rent luxury brandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bags , such as Prada. An indirect competitor that is not a luxury retailers are luxury spas, such as Peru Wellbeing Spa . Another thing that could threaten the business of a Prada Pop up Shop is Peruvians able to travel to Europe without a visa. This makes it easy for Peruvians to spend their money on travel rather than luxury goods. It has been reported that luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, and Burberry have been poking around in the Peruvian market. Gucci, which is currently present in the country only in the form of a watch boutique, is looking to enter with the help of a Panamanian group

Prada is currently looking to reach more customers in Latin America and expand into the luxury market in that area. Peru’s low political risk factor and high percentage of growth makes it the perfect place for Prada to open a Pop up shop within Latin America. Prada’s pop up shop in Peru will be held in the Jockey Plaza shopping center, because of the high number of foot traffic and the number of luxury competitors that are already selling in that market place. We chose to place the shop on the first floor of the Jockey Plaza to localize ourselves with our luxury competitors. This pop up shop will be held from May 27 - June 2nd, to coincide with Lima Design Week (held from May 27 - June 01). Because Prada’s pop up shop will be designed as an art installation, taking place at the same time as Lima Design Week will only further enhance the gratitude of this new retail space. We chose to create Prada’s Peru pop up shop in a futuristic design to match the aesthetic of their current product line. The pop up shop will feature Prada’s Robot collection which is being sold for the months of June, July and August. Along with their staple selling pieces such as the Galleria Bag. Their current advertising with space filled backgrounds and a futuristic feel was the inspiration behind the store design and product category. The store will feel clean, minimalistic, and bold to match the aesthetic of the brand and their new products.

AREA ATTRACTIONS

HUMAN RESOURCES This shop will require a mix of experienced Prada employees and local staffing. The store Manager and an Assistant Manager will be sent over from Prada’s corporate office to help set up, hire, and train for the shop. They will train prior to leaving and consult with a Merchandising Manager about the products that will be featured, their display and information. The Manager and Assistant Manager will be compensated for their flights, hotels, food and other expenses. They will also receive a bonus along with their usual yearly salary, which for Managers at Prada is around 95K per year, and for Assistant Managers is 62K per year. Prior to arriving in Lima, the Prada corporate hiring team will research local competitors like Carolina Herrera, Coach and Ferragamo, Max Mara reaching out to their current sales associates and informing them of this opportunity. Once the Prada representatives arrive, they will interview the narrowed list of candidates and hire 6 Sales Associates, and 2 Loss Prevention Agents and 2 Janitors.

Since this shop is a test for further Prada expansion in Latin America, these performance indicators will be extremely important. The shop will have a camera that tracks the number of people that enter the store each day, that will then be crossed with the number of transactions each day to find the conversion rate. Staff training will also be an important factor that will be measured by the Manager and Assistant Manager, to evaluate how these top sales associates perform and if they would be suited to work for Prada if they decide to pursue Lima.

Trade Regulations Peruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy to attract foreign private investment has been particularly successful. Peru still uses tariffs as its main instrument of border protection. As of 2015, Peru has received imports of $US 41.948 billion. They have a real GDP Growth Rate of %2.246 and an Inflation Rate of % 2.316. Payment The consumer price index has exhibited moderation in recent months. Peru expects consumer prices to converge toward the central bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal range in the coming months. It is predicted that exchangerate volatility will remain intense in the coming months. All major cities have an abundance of ATMs so withdrawing money is not a problem within the country. Debit and credit cards are widely accepted in Peru. Building Peru does not have an energy code, but has a code sections on mechanical and electrical equipment and insulation. Peru has a national mandatory code, the National Building Regulation or RNE. The RNE covers administrative requirements, the regulation of the conversion of rustic or rural areas to urban areas, and the regulation of all type of buildings, addressing standards and standards for architecture, structures, sanitation, and mechanical and electrical installations.

GANTT CHART May 1st Social Media Glitch Projection Email Survey

May 27

June 2nd

June 5th

Pre Launch While the structure is being built, Prada will hire a videographer to create a glitch video that will project on screens covering the construction site. Once the shop is completely, Prada will post a video on their Social Media (Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter) to introduce the shop to their new target customers in Peru. Prada will hire a social media manager to post every few hours about the up and coming pop up shop. This video will feature a glitch, much like the one being of their newest collection ending with the words “PRADA pop up shop...Coming Soon to Peru”. Launch To launch the pop up shop Prada will host exclusive Launch Party including cocktails, hors d’oeuvres at the Jockey Plaza. The guest list will include socialites, dignitaries and their wives, Peruvian celebrities, and executives. Attendees will get an exclusive look into the new location and will be the first ones to buy the products. When an attendee of the launch event purchases a product they will receive an exclusive gift of Prada Candy Set. Post Launch Prada will reach out to customers who purchased at the pop up shop via email, thanking them for their business while also encouraging them to respond to the survey linked below with their thoughts on whether Prada should invest in a permanent location at the Jockey Plaza. 45

Financial Plan The financial statement gives an overview of the operational costs versus the potential net profit. While Prada will endure a loss at the expense of the shop, it will enable the company to test this new market with an ultimately lower investment cost. Through evaluation of sales, customer responses, and employee success factor reviews, Prada will have a clear view on the potential success of opening a full line store in Peru. The Distribution Prada has seven distribution centers, six being in Italy and one being in Britain. This shop will be stocked via the British distribution center. The products will be shipped to the local Lima port and stocked in the back room of the pop up shop. This method of stocking product is made possible by the fact that this shop will only be open a week, making their inventory small enough to be held in store.

CONCLUSION After conducting research on the luxury market in Peru, we think that Pradaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pop up shop in Jockey Plaza will be successful. The shop will be placed in line with other luxury retailers, providing the competition that is necessary to thrive. The growth in Lima, Peru is evident through research, and we hope that our shop experiences similar growth and expansion. The futuristic design of the shop will capture the eye of high class Peruvians looking to shop locally for Pradaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goods. The attention that this store will capture can help leverage the brand in Latin America and provide Prada with a way to test the market.
