Principles of entrepreneurship (ENT530): Business model canvas: Calipar.co / Maria Maisarah Osman … [et al.]

We have conducted SWOT analysis for our two competitors, Converse and Fippers. Converse is a long-running shoes product company while Fippers is a company that sells various design slippers. Both of these companies are well known and already have their own fans. Although these two companies already have loyal fans of their products, we find that there are still some weaknesses and threats in their business. However, it is common in a business where there will be strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Furthermore, under the element of key partnerships, Calipar.co has chosen Medshoe HQ as the supplier for shoes and slippers. We chose Medshoe HQ because it is one of the best shoes and slipper manufacturers in Malaysia. Calipar.co has also chosen to partner with Nova Infinity Sdn Bhd as our product packaging supplier. The design and price offered by Nova Infinity Sdn Bhd is very attractive and affordable. In addition, we chose J&T Express as the delivery service for our products to customers who purchase online.
