With my brother optician and student MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) in the eyewear industry. We introduced mid 2018 the brand alf (French eyewear workshop), a brand of high-end glasses made in France. Our vision is to allow our target to differentiate itself from the very atomized competition on a market that has been growing since and for many years (+5% on average) Our high-end and exclusive offer (selective distribution) whose value proposition is perceived as original by our target, aims to be established in 500 outlets in Europe by 2030. MISSIONS - Market analysis and target customer needs => pre-launch (18 months in 2017-18) => competitive intelligence ("day to day") - Definition of the value proposition => product design => pricing - Development of the Offer (2 to 3 new models per season) - Sourcing & Manufacturing : France and Japan (+ Korea + Spain) => Retroplanning => Monitoring - Omni-channel distribution plan via independent agents + Website + D2C (Opticians and Fashion Store) => Management of a team of independent multi-card agents (10 people) => 180 stores in 35 cities in 10 European countries. => Participation in trade shows (France, Italy, Germany, Denmark) => Sales growth of 25 to 40% per year - Business management => Accounting => Cash flow management - Communication strategy => Via Website and Social Networks (management of a Community Manager) #lunettes-alf
