INDUSTRY
Industry Growth The organization is well structured for continued expansion. The leather apparel and accessories market is a modest specialty business that has the potential of immense growth in select markets lacking a quality leather retailer like Jamin Leather® to take the reins. A strategic growth opportunity for an investor to explore a brick-and-mortar franchise strategically placed somewhere within their preferred region.
Strategic Growth Opportunities: The established business methodologies refined by Jamin Leather® are expected to yield growth going forward with the addition of expanded, privately owned Brick-and-Mortar locations. A new focus on strength in numbers theory! The more the brand is recognized the increase in online sales strengthening the brand.
Favorable Outlook for Brick-and-Mortar: US online shopping is forecast to grow at an annual compounded rate of approximately 5% per year. Though that may be true for big business, smaller independents are being buried further and further online as more and more wholesalers, large conglomerates and foreign business infiltrate the online US market, in turn, leaving a real big gap for Brick-and-Mortar businesses to succeed. Personal service and the ability to touch & feel the selection is not there, not to mention smell. These points are significantly more important for a leather goods retailer. As the owner would say “I like the smell of my business”. It’s all about the 4 “f’s”: fashion, fit, feel and fun of owning a Jamin Leather® franchise that makes this business favorable!
