THE PROBLEM
The volatile nature of women’s love for high-quality fashion
Social media has propagated an “in-today, outtomorrow” feel about women’s fashion
Luxury fashion brands have significantly raised their
prices over the years, making-up for an increase in
reliance on mark-downs
Consumers now resent paying full-retail prices for clothes they will only
4
wear a few times.
WHAT CUSTOMERS WANTS
To have a different dress for each occasion
To have a dress that will fit the context of each
occasion
To have a dress that will impress
To make a fashion statement
To make a statement about their social status
To avoid investing in something that will not be
used often

UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION
The main argument that differentiates BTR from other
women's clothes renting companies is that BTR offers highfashion, high-quality and luxurious products in a
subscription-based pricing and timely delivery system. Many
brands that are listed on the website are luxurious or high
Fashion. While competitors have a wider and more
comprehensive selection, BTR focuses on dresses and
accessories to help consumers make a fashion statement for
the occasion.

MARKET ANALYSIS
Market Growth
The Canadian Online Fashion industry has been posting large revenue
gains and growth within the past five years. The IBISWorld industry
report found that the average growth between 2014 and 2019 was
12.8%, while annual growth within 2019 to 2023 is expected to
"boom" at an estimated 7.8%. Many factors contribute to this growth,
such as an annual increase in disposable income of 2.7% over the next
five years, an increase in online security, accessibility, and consumer
preferences.
Market Opportunity
Now is the perfect time for this market because of the increase in
social media platform, famous social media influencers can rent
clothes to attract attention to their page. The new type of online
business market transaction, which differs greatly from the traditional
physical store, allows for new business opportunities.
17
COMPETITION
There are major competitors in the Canadian fashion industry,
contributing to market volume and growth. Bridal boutiques are not
considered as competitive as they pertain to another market. Few
competitors are located in the Montreal economic region. However,
from a national perspective, many competitors are present, and most
are already well established. These include:
Rent Frock Repeat
FitzRoy Rental
From a local perspective, Atelier Privé and La Petite Robe Noire
are the main competitors. However, they do not propose a monthly
subscription model. Also, Atelier Privé does not have an online
service.
Reheart is another potential competitor but is not necessarily a
threat because its genre is too different from the one BTR proposes.
Reheart proposes regular clothes and very few designers’ dresses like
BTR.

Values: Innovation, Service, Sustainability
Innovation: We promote innovation - integrating
high end e-commerce features and capabilities to offer

Service: We strive to offer a high quality service in terms of
responsiveness on all the communication channels: online via our

Sustainability:
Clothes that sit in the back of your closet add no value to your lives.
Instead, they take up a lot of space and contribute to excessive
amounts of waste.
Sharing clothes means less waste of clothes. Periodically, Beyond the
Runway organizes sample sales or donate to charities.
