BACKGROUND
The luxury industry is a niche market which requires deep rooted contacts that
build with time. As new clients are often referred by members, nurturing client
relationships is key, and firms are making increasing use of the Web, moving
away from simple word-of-mouth contact and referral. Spending behavior of the
affluent supports this industry which is highly lucrative for those who can build a
good network and reputation. Rich people with money travel and travel last
minute. They purchase travel, last minute travel, adventure travel air travel and
exclusive bespoke travels from online travel agents. They also book last minute
travel which can be sold by advertising in online platforms or brokers. Lifestyle of
the affluent is just not travel it include a galore of exclusive luxury goods which
include jewelleries, cars, watches, art and rare items. Information is key to
buying decisions made by the affluent and due to paucity of time they seek
sources which can help make them these decisions or sources from where they
can buy luxury goods and services.

Businesses devoted specifically to luxury concierge services emerged at the


beginning of the decade, offering global access to the kind of lifestyle one
expects to enjoy through financial success: effortless, exclusive and often
extravagant. Recessionary times have brought new challenges to the industry,
even the wealthiest individuals are weighing up how to cut costs as the recession
bites so paying a company to book your football tickets, make restaurant
reservations or arrange flights to the Caribbean might appear excessive. Survey
conducted by US-based research firm the Luxury Institute revealed that requests
in the first quarter of 2009 rose 30 per cent on the same of 2008 and each
company said it is actively expanding due to client demand. Steve Edo, chief
executive of Pure Entertainment, says the firm is receiving especially strong
demand from the emerging and frontier markets. He even describes the sector
as “recession proof.” He further observes, there is less call for basic concierge
services such as dinner and hotel reservations and more demand for tailored,
comprehensive plans. “Clients are more interested in the bespoke experience
which includes more services all in one”.

There has been a shift in spending behaviour of affluent consumers; the focus
now seems to be on getting high quality goods at the best price. As luxury based
service providers have the insider knowledge and contacts to get the best deals
for their clients in a discreet fashion, this has emerged as one of the key ways
they can adapt to the recession. People are still willing to spend on things that
are meaningful to them and will somehow make their lives better. However, it is
about enriching their lives with new experiences, not simply being rich.

MARKET ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY OUTLOOK & MARKET TREND
Companies that specifically cater to the personal needs of individual clients
(including concierge services) generate an aggregate of $5 billion per year of
revenue. Within this industry, there are approximately 13,000 companies that
provide services identical or substantially similar to that of GATI, Inc. Aggregate
payrolls in each of the last five years has exceeded $1.3 billion, and the industry
employs more than 55,000 people.
The industry has grown significantly over the last ten years as more people have
moved into the upper strata of income due to the technology and real estate
boom. However, the present recessionary period may see a pull back in
revenues as the current economic climate has caused many people (including
wealthy people) to cut discretionary expenditures. It has also been observed that
there have been lesser cuts than anticipated towards luxury, the consumers
albeit have become more conscious of value buys unlike in the past. This is
where we intend to bridge the gap by bringing to our consumers a unique and
exclusive luxury information gateway where one can find exclusive luxury deals
and goods from multiple players for our affluent consumers to take informed
decisions.
As per Capgemini Word wealth report, annual HNWI population growth had been
a robust 7.2% from 2005 to 2007, before reversing in 2008. The same trend was
evident in HNWI financial wealth, which grew 10.4% per year in 2005-07, before
the steep contraction. The U.S., Japan and Germany together accounted for
54.0% of the world’s HNWI population in 2008, up very slightly from 53.3% in
2007, despite the substantial loss of wealth by HNWIs in those countries,
particularly the United States.

The report forecasts HNWI financial wealth will grow to $48.5 trillion by 2013,
advancing at an annualized rate of 8.1%. This growth will be driven by the
recovery in asset prices as the global economy and financial system right
themselves. Also, the 2008 flight-to-safety imperative is expected to ease. The
report expects North America and Asia-Pacific to lead the growth in HNWI
financial wealth, and predict Asia-Pacific will actually surpass North America by

Confidential Page 12
GATI, Inc

2013. Growth in these regions will be driven by increased U.S. consumer


expenditure as well as new found autonomy for the Chinese economy, which is
already experiencing increased consumer demand.

Emerging trends for the luxury industry in the next decade starting 2010 as per
Bain & Company is listed below.
 Younger consumers and new groups such as working women will become
the dominant segments as baby boomers age and retire
 Aspiration will evolve into new relationships with brands as consumers
look to fill different emotional needs with their luxury purchasing
 Retail networks and product offerings will see greater and greater
customization by country and even by city-one size fits all has stopped
working
 Market pressures in a turbulent recovery will drive a second wave of
luxury consolidation
 New luxury players will emerge as tastes and consumers change,
including brands based in emerging market companies
 The luxury shopping experience will transform as direct-owned stores,
department stores and outlets look for ways to draw in the decade's new
luxury shoppers
 Online retail is still in its infancy, but quickly becoming more than a niche
 Retailers will treat new shoppers as "in play," and offer competitive
products to those produced by typical luxury brands

COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
The Luxury industry is known for avant-gardism, it remains a surprise that luxury
is playing catch-up in embracing the e-culture and adopting technology. Luxury
brands have been locked in a love-hate relationship with technology since it
became apparent that the Internet is here to stay. But after two decades of the
World Wide Web, this scenery has changed. The presence of luxury related

Confidential Page 13
GATI, Inc

providers can be broadly categorized into two – luxury content providers and
luxury retailers.

Many popular brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Cartier, Movado, etc. and many
from the space exclusive jewelleries can be easily found in the Internet arena.
Equally important is the presence of publishers and content aggregators of
luxury related information and trends in the digital space. We intend to couple
both these spaces and create one stop shop where consumers can learn, search
and shop the A-Z of luxury and executive lifestyle and trends. This gives us a
unique leverage since we would house a plethora of information as well as
provide for sale, luxury goods from various brands.

Our competitors would include websites like the robbreport.com, luxist.com,


luxury-insider.com and similar of their likes. Our focus is to drive revenues
primarily through our online presence. We intend to generate 20% of our total
sales leads from our online website while the rest through conventional
mediums. A quick look on the traffic statistics of some of the our competing
websites reveals that new visitors are generally low for niche sites concentrating
on luxury, hence it is imperative of the websites to maximize revenues through
increasing contact with the consumers. The table listed below shows the number
of monthly unique visitors and total visitors on respective web sites.

The luxury industry is estimated to be $227 Billion (153 billion euro), at current
exchange rates in 2009, though the recessionary pressures has decreased the
overall market size; it is estimated to recover gradually from 2011. The market
all the more is crowded with a lot of players, but the fact is that each player can
be successful given they personalize their offering as per consumer preferences.
Personalization and localization are key to succeeding in this industry.

GATI, Inc

MARKETING AND SALES STRATEGY


GATI, Inc. intends to maintain an extensive marketing campaign that will ensure
maximum visibility for the business in its targeted market. Our marketing
objective is to initially build a market name for our company through mediums
which are closer towards our target market, these would include -

• Developing an online presence by developing a website and placing the


Company’s name and contact information with online directories.
• Developing and distributing brochures to businesses that may become
clients of GATI Inc.
• Implementing a public relations campaign that will increase the visibility of
the Company in targeted lifestyle publications that focus on upper class

Mr. François M. Mitchell intends on using a number of marketing strategies that


will increase the visibility and number of clients for the business from the onset
of operations. As the Company is targeting a highly specific demographic, these
marketing campaigns will be highly focused on providing information specifically
to wealthy individuals and corporations.

The business will also maintain a slick flash based interactive website that will
showcase the services of the business, preliminary pricing information, contact
information, and how to enrol in the Company’s concierge service programs. This
website will be search engine optimized so that people searching online for
concierge services can easily find the Company’s website.

The Company will also hire a public relations firm to have newsworthy public
relations announcements and news releases printed in popular lifestyle
magazines and other publications that are read by wealthy individuals. As the
business grows, management may engage a larger advertising campaign that
will include placing print advertisements in popular magazines such as Forbes,
Fortune, Robb Report, and other high end lifestyle magazines.

We also plan to market our business through a mega launch event inviting
celebrities and affluent customers to our launch party in front of a media blitz.
This would include entertainment programs and dinner along with show casing
our products and services. We intend to conduct such event periodically to
establish our brand.

now that they’re a reality, Mr. Mitchell will take the helm of this Mega-Yacht and
navigate it only through the golden waters with diamond sparkles to platinum
ports Worldwide. Mr. Mitchell will be running the day-to-day operations, including
supervising in-house and virtual staff, and maintaining rare inventory.

Mrs. Arie R. Mitchell, Vice President, brings to GATI, Inc. over eight years of
experience in multiple fields, including being in the 1st class of the GIA Institute in
Madagascar. She has worked in the areas of Diamonds, a family owned Rough
and Polished Gemstone mine, Custom Jewellery, Agriculture, the Restaurant and
Hospitality industry, and Real Estate. Her management, insight, and experience
are a valuable asset to GATI, Inc., and will be for a lifetime. Mrs. Mitchell will
manage employees, handle bookkeeping, supervise marketing and develop
business leads 24/7.

Mr. Aravind Kumar, our Chief Operating Officer (COO), was chosen not only for his
IT skills, as systems administrator, but for his managerial and leadership skills
under pressure also. He holds an MS in Computer Science, and a BS in
Technology. Originally from India, his skills and networking capability will thrust
GATI, Inc. faster into the Asian Luxury and Executive markets, than many of our
competitors. Mr. Kumar will ensure GATI, Inc.’s current technologic readiness in
all areas, and work in the marketing, advertising and branding departments. He
reports directly to the CEO.

8. RISKS
1. Funding is key to our operations, since we are into the luxury & executive
industry we need to build a brand for ourselves which requires extensive
budget for marketing campaign. More over funds are needed to acquire
expensive luxury goods and items.

2. Economic recession as hit all industries worldwide, our focus on US and


Europe luxury market is on the pretext that no more recessionary pressure
would be present in these market. We assume that the pressures have
bottomed out in these economies.

3. Developing traffic for website with focus on limited audience is difficult and
requires more resources than normal; moreover the Internet behaviour of our
target market is not well established, but improving rapidly.
