Case study
Houzit is a chain of homewares stores in Brisbane that specialise in bathroom fittings, bedroom fittings, mi
ors and decorative items. They cu
ently have 15 stores spread across the greater Brisbane area, with all stores being managed and coordinated from their head office in Milton.
You have recently been appointed as the marketing manager and must now review the organisation and devise marketing strategies that will move Houzit towards its strategic goals.
The CEO has also asked you to consider some marketing opportunities that may assist Houzit in reaching its goals, and provide him with a
ief summary evaluating two alternatives, including the benefits and risks associated with each option, and making a recommendation for the opportunity most likely to produce results.
You have gleaned the following information about Houzit:
· Houzit is close to entering its fifth year of operation; offers a wide range of homeware items on easy-to-manage payment terms and supplies a three-year guarantee on every item sold.
· The typical target customers have the following characteristics:
· sophisticated people who are houseproud
· shoppers who will drive to an easy-to-access store
· customers who require payment plans to spread their commitment over an extended period
· renovators and new home builders
· 20–50 years old.
Houzit recognises the following trends and focuses its efforts on them.
· Quality – Preference for high-quality items is increasing as customers are learning to appreciate differences in quality.
· Unique items – Customers want homewares that stand out from mass-produced, low-quality items.
· Selection – People are demanding a larger selection of choices, and are no longer accepting a limited selection of homewares.
The typical Houzit store has the following characteristics.
· Location – A commercial, subu
an neighbourhood, or u
an retail district.
· Design – Bright and functional.
· Size – 1,000–1,500 m2.
· Employees – 15–20 full time, plus several casuals
· Types of transactions – 60% cash, 40% on long-term repayment plan.
· Sales
eak-ups between the existing Brisbane stores reveal sales of:
· 30% bathroom fittings
· 35% bedroom furnishings
· 20% mi
ors and decorative items
· 15% lighting fixtures (recent addition).
· A new customer’s first purchase is generally of mi
ors and decorative items, and this gives us the opportunity to sign them up to our loyalty program.
In a
ief discussion with the CEO, you asked about the changes taking place in legislation

Executive Summary
Houzit is a home furnishing chain in Brisbane that specializes in bathroom accessories, bedroom accessories, decorative items and mi
ors. Houzit is about to enter its 5th year of operation; it provides various household items through easily manageable payment terms and provides a guarantee for each item sold. They recognize its high quality products and unique products. They have a very convenient location in commercial and u
an retail areas. In addition, they are between 1,000 and 1,500 square meters in area and have a
ight and functional space with 15-20 full-time employees. However, the government has a great driving force on the issue of the sustainability. This mainly focuses on the management of waste and energy-saving environmental issues. In addition to these new regulations, they will have to find new ways to give customers with what they actually want without consuming high amounts of electricity, and increase sales from about $15 million per year to $20 million a year in coming three years.
SWOT analysis:
Strengths:
· Good staff that is very skilled about household items.
· Bright, practical and efficient retail staff in commercial city areas.
· Repeat high customer loyalty among customers.
The quality, range and availability of various products exceed that of competing products.
Weaknesses:
· Because of critical mass and shop cover, a limited marketing budget can increase
and awareness.
· Continue to fight for the growing long-term repayment plans that our clients have taken.
Opportunities:
· They will try to provide clients what they need without more electricity usage.
· The growth market in high-growth regions still occupies most of the target markets, but it is still not conscious of the latter's preferences
Threats:
· Competition from some local independent retailers can lower prices because the overhead cost of the owner's business is higher than that of our employees' stores.
· Competition for national chain companies entering the Brisbane market.
· The economic slowdown has reduced the disposable income of consumers for household goods.
· The government has a great driving force on sustainability issues. This mainly focuses on the environmental issues of waste management and energy consumption.
PEST Analysis
Political factors: The government has a great driving force on sustainability problems. This focuses on the environmental issues of energy conversations and waste management. The Houzit store was deliberately designed as a
ight shopping venue. This means that the cost of electricity for running lights and air conditioners is high. According to the new regulations, Houzit will find methods to fulfil their customers’ needs.
Economic factors: The Houzit market is a high-quality product and unique design. Compared with other competitors, the price is significantly higher (Venzin, 2016).
Social factors: With the economic downturn, this is the main reason for the buyer's disposable income contraction, and it is also the basis for high quality products in the region just because customers have limited impact on the status of trade.
Technical factors: The Houzit store was designed to be a
ight and comfortable shopping venue. This means that in order to avoid high power consumption, it takes a lot of power to run lights and air conditioners.
Marketing objectives
Opportunities:
1) According to the study, every opportunity
ings various risks and benefits. We can assess risks and increase profits, but we cannot avoid risks. According to the Houzit market survey, they have the opportunity to achieve their goals. Those are:
2) Growth market for high-growth markets A large proportion of the market's target market is still unaware of Houzit offer, but because...
