Hunts Designs LLC | Application Preview
Hunts Designs LLC is seeking government grants to support their new business, which aims to provide a one-stop shop for blank apparel and printing services in the Poplar Bluff area. The funding will be allocated towards acquiring a storefront, necessary equipment, inventory, insurance, permits, advertising, and hiring employees.
The business plan focuses on expanding the product range and customer base, utilizing targeted advertising, and staying attuned to public trends. The owner emphasizes the gap in the local market for quality crafting and printing supplies, particularly since many entrepreneurs have emerged post-COVID.
Hunts Designs LLC will offer a variety of products, including blank apparel, tumblers, sublimation products, cut vinyl, and printing services for banners, flyers, and business cards. This comprehensive selection is intended to satisfy customer needs more effectively than existing competitors such as Hobby Lobby, Walmart, and Minit Print, who are seen as lacking in quality and variety.
The competitive advantage lies in the commitment to high-quality products and a wide selection that caters specifically to local printing businesses, making it easier for customers to find everything they need under one roof. The owner prides themselves on offering superior options and personalized service, which they believe will lead to business success.

Business Plan
I plan to grow my business by offering a wide verity of products, services, building my customer base, advertising to reach a wider audience, growing with the public and so much more. I feel like ever since COVID had taken place a lot of entrepreneurs like myself have started their own businesses. With the funding I will be able to help supply their stock in their own stores. In the Poplar Bluff area, we really don't have anything like my business in the area. In my shop I will supply blank apparel such as shirts, tumblers, coffee mugs, sublimation tumbler, HTV, Adhesive Vinyl, Cutters, Printers, etc. Also, while suppling these products, I will also be offering printing services such as banners, flyers, business cards, etc. I know there are a lot of printing companies in the Poplar Bluff area, but if I'm able to make this a one stop shop then I believe my shop will be successful. Right now, I currently print shirts and tumblers and I can't tell you how many times I was needing a sublimation tumbler or a specific color/style shirt and couldn't find one anywhere in town.

Self Identified Competition
I would have to say my top 3 competitors would have to be Hobby Lobby, Walmart, & Minit Print. Hobby Lobby will most likely be my biggest competitor as they sell a lot of craft stuff. They sell shirts but the quality isn't the greatest. They sell stainless steel tumblers, but you wouldn't be able to sublimate on them, they have HTV and Adhesive Vinyl, but the quality isn't the greatest. Walmart would be considered a competitor for the simple fact they sell shirts, but the choices are pretty slim. Minit Print would have the ability to print shirts, banners, business cards, etc. As they are great places to shop, their products they offer are pretty minimum, poor quality and they don't have everything someone would need to supply their printing business and also all in one place. I would strive to have everything someone would need to stock their business and if I don't then I would make sure to order for the future. I have always been someone to be sure to sell product that is top of the line quality and my shop would have so many more options for customers to choose from.
