WAKANDA COVERED | Application Preview
WAKANDA COVERED is applying for government funding to enhance its operations. The funding will be allocated to hire an additional employee for mask assembly, particularly focusing on winter masks that provide extra protection. It will also cover new materials for updated fabric options for the 2021-2022 season and help with acquiring a new sewing machine to improve efficiency.
The business plan includes expanding beyond custom masks into custom suits and accessories, leveraging the owner's education in custom design. The owner, a business administration graduate, aims to apply their entrepreneurial skills developed through previous roles in supporting other businesses’ success to their own venture.
In terms of competition, WAKANDA COVERED faces similar offerings from Zazzle, Etsy sellers, and Costume Agent but distinguishes itself through unique, multi-layered masks. The masks not only last longer but also feature personalized designs created collaboratively with customers. This focus on quality and customization justifies the higher price point and encourages customer loyalty, as many return for different custom designs for various occasions.
