Below are the SWOT analysis that was conducted for Cinnamon and Frankincense
Perfume Production:
Strengths:
7|Page
Our strengths are numerous and lie in the fact that our excellent customer service is top
notch as we run one that is not only flexible but also personal to each client’s leading to a
high retention rate for our company. In addition, we have employed professional hands
who have specialist skills added to vast experience that will not only help in
ensuring the company operates efficiently but also grow to enviable heights.
Weakness
Due to the rising costs of production, financial resources might act as an impediment to our
fast growth. In addition, since we are relatively new in the industry, and with the stiff
competition in Ethiopia, our weakness lies in the fact that we do not yet have an
established reputation. To combat this, we would need to roll out effective publicity and
advertising strategies that will ensure that we garner positive attention.
Opportunities
The opportunities in this field are numerous. The internet is one of the opportunities we
intend to explore for our perfume business and to use in penetrating the market. There is
also boundless opportunity in the business aspect, as important personalities and celebrities
are looking to create a Cinnamon and Frankincense perfume as a venture for themselves.
Ethiopia has many of such people and we are poised to take our share of these market.
Threats
Threats always abound for any business either new or existing. The arrival of new
competitors to same location, the emergence of imitation and a downturn in the economy
are all threatening factors that are likely to affect our business. However, there are
strategies in place to combat these threats.
The perfume industry is one that looks a bit saturated with only few perfumes and brand
names making it to the top in the industry. Because of this fact, we intend to ensure that we
constantly engage in research and development that will see to the growth of not only for
8|Page
our fragrance line but also for the company as a whole. Another trend is in ensuring that
we do not produce only one range but we will, produce others as well, for clients who like
a whole range or who prefer other fragrances that are not perfumes alone. Knowing what to
produce will be done after we carried out a feasibility study and a thorough market survey.
Everyone wants to reek of a good fragrance as this is what stands them out and boosts
their confidence as well, and so our target market will not be restricted to just a few people.
We intend to produce fragrances for everyone who loves to smell good and even for those
who want to try out fragrances that are adventurous. Our location in Addis Ababa makes us
quite suitable to ensure that our vision for this materializes. Knowing how important it is to
stand out in this market and be amongst the top leading brands, we have conducted a thorough market
survey to know what will be required from us by our target market. We have identified our target market
and broken them down into definable categories that will help our marketing and customer care executives
had better attend to them whilst carrying out their tasks.

also are also equipped with listening ears and an attention span that would ensure that all
customers are patiently attended. Our customer care executives would ensure that our
customers’ database is always updated, that way we can always send out information to all
our customers when we need too.

Conclusion
ABADCHGE perfume production factory is located at better place because there is
raw material and we can gates a customer by providing a qualified and quantified to the
market. As shown in the above the company constructs its profit is high but by considering
the pricing approach can reduce in order to have and attract the customer.
The employee in this organization will be unskilled and skilled worker but the
business founder will provide self-employee in this organization.
In order to facilitate sell of our product and to get to the customer we will use some method
like advertising through Billboards, Radio, F.M Channels, and Newspapers and also social
media like face book, by provide our own website. The factory will produce 200000 unit per
annum with complete skilled worker and reliable machines.
