Business plan to add to and adapt

Business Plan:

1. Research into new and exciting products; mainly looking into smart textiles
2. Come up with a few product ideas
3. Focusing on interiors develop these design ideas further
4. Select a suitable market, send out a questionnaire to clients for feedback on idea
5. Make a sales pitch
6. Approach companies with initial ideas
7. Suggest a collaboration with a willing company
8. Develop the designs further using the companies knowledge on production and manufacture
9. Create prototype to put forward to a focus group
10. Develop the prototype ready for the final product to be put into production
11. Create initial wallpaper backdrops from research into stereotypical patterns
12. Create printed designs for magnets after extensive trend research for AW12/13
13. Put products into production
14. The idea of this product was to keep up with fashion so we would want to promote it via fashion blogs such as www.stylebubble.co.uk and interior blogs like www.designsponge.com 
15. To promote the product further and make it available to buyers from other companies we would have a stand at various trade shows; including Interiors UK
16. Once the concept was accepted, we would then go on to design a range of three different magnet collections from three different trends following on from the previous collection. These magnets would be brought out each season to keep on top of current trends so the customer can keep on building up and adapting their wallpaper.
17. The simple wallpaper backdrops would be added to every year or so after for those new customers
