Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We are looking to work with students to help us identify new opportunities to achieve our business goals with our e-commerce merch store (shop.laconnexional.com). 100% of the proceeds from our merch are reinvested back into supporting and building resources for people of ABCL descent. Eventually, we would like a portion of this proceeds to specifically go towards a grant fund that will support students in need. We are extremely open to feedback about user navigation and any other areas of focus, as we would like our assigned person or team to preform a comprehensive analysis of our e-commerce business and areas of improvement. We have shared a few high priority goals and desired benefits below to help guide you:

- Understanding our ideal target market

- Creating a premium user-experience from start to finish for our customers

- Evaluating pricing compare to other stores as well as value-proposition of the brand

- Create effective customer retention systems such as a membership perk

- Primary areas we would like to focus on are:

  • Strategy: Including but not limited to defining/entering new markets, delivering new products/services, defining/designing competitive advantage, evaluating/defining/designing viable business models.
  • Marketing: Including but not limited to defining market channels, designing go-to-market plans, customer acquisition/retention.
