INTRODUCTION
The proposed business is a digital business advisory service aimed at all businesses that are
digital and take the online space. With the world evolving today and making a complete shift
towards technology and the digital space, it is extremely important for every business to have an
online presence. Similarly, my business is entirely digital and aimed at any business that has an
online presence, entirely or partially. There are a set of services ranging from mentoring to social
media handling along with graphics and web development available that our customers can
choose from as per the needs of their respective businesses.
Our business encompasses all marketing efforts that use an electronic device or the internet.
Businesses leverage digital channels such as search engines, social media, email, and other
websites to connect with current and prospective customers. While traditional marketing might
exist in print ads, phone communication, or physical marketing, digital marketing can occur
electronically and online. This means that there are a number of endless possibilities for brands
including email, video, social media, or website-based marketing opportunities.
My motivation behind starting this business came from the dream of being financially
independent and having my own venture, being married to an army officer gave me all the more
reason to pursue this even further because nobody could guarantee our stay in one city for more
than 2 years and a career in the corporate world isn’t possible with that kind of instability. With
that, I started looking into skill based learning in my areas of interest when I came across
multiple online courses on skillshare and coursera and also a 6 months diploma from the Indus
Valley School of Art and Architecture in Creative advertising that covered aspects of branding,
integrated marketing communication, copy writing, illustrations and also an element of graphic
design. I was thrilled to start this business that I could operate on remotely, without my location
being an issue.
However, a major setback that stirred a crisis across the globe was COVID-19, commonly
known as the Corona Virus. This virus started from Wuhan, China in late 2019 and during the
first quarter of 2020, it had spread across the globe affecting about 1.2 million people hence
declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. This pushed all governments across the
world to enforce a lockdown putting a halt to all business activities on ground affecting
economies globally but even in such a situation, the only businesses that are working full-fledged
are those that operate online or the technology sector. The lockdown has given me, and my
clients, time to rethink business strategies for them and to create exciting content and be
prepared for the world as soon as this situation is over.
With the world being on a lockdown, people are realizing the importance of technology and
everything digital. At this stage, digital marketing is vital for your business and brand awareness.
It seems like every other brand has a website. And if they don't, they at least have a social media
presence or digital ad strategy. Digital content and marketing is so common that consumers now
expect and rely on it as a way to learn about brands. Long story short, to be competitive as a
business owner, you'll need to embrace some aspects of digital marketing.
Because digital marketing has so many options and strategies associated with it, you can get
creative and experiment with a variety of marketing tactics on a budget. With digital marketing,
you can also use tools like analytics dashboards to monitor the success and ROI of your
campaigns more than you could with a traditional promotional content -- such as a billboard or
print ad.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
We live in rapidly changing times, especially for businesses. Consider that, in a single
generation, businesses have had to adapt to entirely new marketing channels (web and social),
decide how to invest in and utilize new technologies, and compete on a global stage. One side
effect of these rapid changes and growth is that no single CEO or any employee can be an expert
in everything. This was, perhaps, always true, but it has never been more apparent.
This is why, in my opinion, some of the biggest challenges businesses face today are best met
and addressed with qualified consultants. Bringing on a consultant helps CEOs add the expertise
and skills they need to address particular problems at particular times, and can provide the best
possible outcomes. Just a few of the challenges I see businesses facing that are best addressed
with the help of a consultant include;
Uncertainty about the future
Being able to predict customer trends, market trends, etc. is vital to a changing economic
climate, but not every CEO has predictive powers. Bringing in a consultant trained in reading
and predicting those all-important trends could be the difference between a bright future and a
murky one.
Technology
As technologies change practically at the speed of light, it’s vital for companies to innovate or be
left behind, but many CEOs started their careers and businesses before many of these
technologies even existed. Consultants can be vital for integrating new technologies, in particular
mobile, app development, and cloud computing.
Customer service and maintaining reputation
In a world of instant gratification, customers expect instant customer service, and can take to the
web to share their displeasure at less than satisfactory service just as quickly. Consultants can
find ways to improve customer service and bring it into the 21st century. In a similar vein,
because customers can voice any displeasure so much more publicly and loudly than ever before,
businesses have to monitor and maintain their online reputations. And while it’s an important
task, its one best suited to a third party who can monitor and mediate with a certain amount of
distance.
Knowing when to embrace change
Early adopter or late to the game? Consultants can help CEOs determine when to embrace
change and when to stay the course. Not everything new is better, yet eschewing every change
runs the risk of becoming obsolete. A professional outside opinion can make all the difference in
these decisions. We are living in an era of constant change for the foreseeable future: change is
the new normal. Preparing for and embracing that change by investing in the right kind of advice
is the best way to meet these challenges head on.
Keeping all these above problems in view, it can easily be concluded that businesses whether
small or big need consultants and there is all the more reason for small businesses to hire them
which is what our business aims to provide.

tailoring her products according to the client’s needs. She has always been towards the creative
field which is why she lacks the skills to administer a business. She believed she didn’t
understand how to manage the social media accounts and a digital presence for her as well. Once
she was presented with the business idea, she immediately wanted to sign up for our services
because her business was also in the initial teething stage and she needed help setting it up. She
runs her business with the name of Dash of Delight.

multiple certifications under her belt including hypnotherapy. She is also working at a clinic as a
requirement for her degree and takes clients for online counselling and therapy as well as at her
own office in Bahria Town, Rawalpindi. She’s engaged to a military officer which is why she
felt the need to establish something she could own and expand because naturally, given the
nature of her fiance’s job, she will not be able to settle in one town and pursue her career.
Tatheer was already looking for some guidance when I approached her about my business and
to take her feedback and she instantly wanted to collaborate and hire me for my services. She
started her platform by the name of The Tranquileer which not only provides psychological
counselling but also a daily dose of inspiration and motivation to its audience online.

IOBM. She has taken the course of small business management this semester for which she
along with her partner decided to produce and sell sustainable stationary items. Their current
products are a notebook made from recycled seed paper and seed pencils that have seeds like
fenugreek, tomato, chilli, spinach and raddish which can be planted once the pencil has been
used. Given that it is a full load semester and they lacked expertise in the area of marketing and
also designing, they appreciated the idea of my business and felt like anyone in their position
could really benefit from it. The services they wanted to use were logo design and content for
their social media pages so they could focus entirely on their product and outsource certain tasks
that are essential for a business to flourish.

Discussion- Shayma is a marketing major currently enrolled at IOBM as a senior and has taken
up the course of small business and entrepreneurship this semester. Shayma along with her
group members came up with the idea of growing plants disguised as cartoon characters so
while people could resort to having a healthy lifestyle, they could also do it their way by adding
an element of themselves to it, they run this business by the name of Plantoonz. In her free time,
Shayma likes spending time with her friends and family and enjoys reading however there’s
barely any free time for her being a senior and she already struggles with keeping up her hobbies
so when she found out about my business, she was excited to jump on board with me and hired
me for logo creation and social media handling because she thought it was good value for the
money being charged and also that it was a one stop shop and she didn’t have to look for
different people to handle multiple tasks.

business by the name of Mystique Glam, where she imports jewellery and sells them
countrywide. She loves going for hiking and devotes her Sunday morning entirely to go to the
hiking trails in Islamabad to have her own moments of peace and tranquility. She has to deal
with customers on a daily basis while keeping strict check on the shipment and quality of her
product. She said she really felt like she needed to outsource her customer service and social
media account handling so she could focus entirely on getting the best product and making sure
the logistics ran smoothly. When presented with the idea of my business, Mahvish was delighted
to find out and immediately hired me to handle her social media pages and to create content for
her, she said she didn’t have to worry about reaching her target audience from a huge pool of
online users and she also managed to make her accounts look attractive by following a specific
theme for her online presence.

given the nature of her job. She has to deal with the day to day affairs of students, faculty and
the staff as well at times, apart from this she is also responsible for making sure all things are
running smoothly while having to maintain a curriculum for the school. Faryal constantly
struggles with finding the time to shift the majority of management tasks online and to be able to
market her school better. She said she really needed help because managing everything
singlehandedly was getting too complicated and she said she could really use my business with
her projects and even wanted to hire me but I unfortunately had to turn her down because my
expertise didn’t suit her needs exactly and I didn’t want to over commit.

and décor. For her course of small business and entrepreneurship this semester, she paired with
her group members to create a website which will serve as an online magazine revolving around
news, media and entertainment for millennials. Anum said she lacked time to juggle everything
and would have really appreciated if she could outsource her own business’ administrative tasks
to someone. As far as her website was concerned, she was already looking for a designer to help
her build the website and incorporate the element of design and creativity into it. For her too, it
was great value for money.

something very close to his heart. Personally, Eliazar has a lot of work on any given day and has
always felt the need to put everything down on a paper to keep track of his progress, owing to
his habit, he along with his partner decided to create a mindful planner for people to increase
their productivity and also keep track of their tasks. When I presented Eliazar with my business
idea, he immediately wanted to sign up for my services because he wanted to work and put his
ideas on paper as his product, the mindful planner. Eliazar and his partner, Ali hired me to create
their logo and to design their product.

then printed as per the customer’s wants however being a resident of Malir Cantonment, he has
to travel all the way to Saddar after university on most days and then back home which takes up
a lot of his time. Given the lack of time, he struggles with keeping up with his customer service
as he’d prefer a prompt response but can’t be available 24/7 or even at the quickest instance.
Secondly, he also wanted someone to help him and his partner in their venture of The Mindful
Planner, to design their product. Ali had contacted me earlier when he was setting his personal
business up to help him manage his social media accounts and I had been charging him for my
services, which included social media handling- prompt customer service and content
creation.

Discussion- Aizdi is an inspired entrepreneur who started her pret wear line in Karachi and made
a huge success out of her first ever exhibition. Her work revolved around dealing with clients,
creating the image of epitome and grace they see themselves in, keeping in mind the kind of taste
they have and how to cater to it, the budget they give, meeting deadlines and alterations, trying to
please the customer and not forgetting what the brand stands for. She does all of this while taking
care of two children, 8 and 4 and also travelling between Toronto and Karachi very frequently.
This however also came with a few troubles that included tailors and workers not showing up,
late opening of markets, strikes affecting the labour, unavailability of cloth and other materials.
All of this coordination cost her the resources to market her brand and keep on top of her
customer service which is why she was excited to find out that she has options to outsource her
marketing and social media handling without having to hire a full-time employee.

managing clients, dates, weather conditions and unacceptable demands made by the clients at
the last minute. She said she had to deal with the creative mindset of the clients and then
implement it as per Drape’s standards. Purchasing material, handling vendors, working with
clients, creating layouts, indoor/outdoor field selection and giving the photographer a visual idea
of how to capture the venue and event while turning dreams into reality left little to no time for
her to market her business because she also had to deal with the all troubles that came with the
business like last minute cancellations, unpredictable weather, strikes etc and said would really
appreciate a service where she could outsource the marketing and handling of her existing social
media accounts. For her, Digital Delight was the perfect avenue for her to be able to run the
remaining aspects of her business smoothly by also having a virtual assistant on board.

family in DHA, Karachi. He enjoys sailing in his free time and tries to be regular on the
weekends, he’s also actively involved with multiple NGOs which helped provide basic education
to the underprivileged children and help them lead better lives. He said it took a lot of time for
him to commute between his office, fuel station and his residence and needed help with having a
better platform to help manage his fuel station and keep records instead of having office riders to
go and check all the way. He said he could utilize their resources in a better way if he had a
management system. Apart from this, Sharik said that he needed a resource to market his
business and give it an online presence so he could reach a greater audience and expand his
business.

last 9 years and has been involved in multiple projects over the years concerning the community
however with his nature of work, he doesn’t have a lot of free time to come up with something
innovative and mostly he’s on the road travelling from one place to another for work. When he
was presented with the idea of digital delight, he was thrilled and said that he had been looking
for a virtual assistant to help him with his projects in real estate and also that he wanted to build
an online community for the mosque so he could arrange multiple activities for the families and
kids including workshops and get-togethers and be able to market it better by sharing it on their
online community.
BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS
VALUE PROPOSITION
Our business aims to provide services to make it easier for businesses with an online presence to
get their work done in the quickest yet efficient manner possible. A commonality we found in
our customer profiling was the lack of time and skill that business owners faced that created a
hindrance in their delivering the best to their client so we act as a key partner in their businesses
and provide the services mentioned above. Our aim is to have customer gain more audience for
their business and to also maximize their sales with better graphics, understanding the social
media algorithms better, great content and the right tools they can use to be on top of their
game. As more and more businesses successfully experiment with digital advertising, they’re
realizing that taking the social media advertising route makes total sense. Here’s why:
Lower ad costs: When compared to traditional advertising methods such as print media,
TV and radio advertising, social ads are not only dependable, but also cheaper. What’s
more, you’re allowed to engage on various social media channels for free before
scaling with paid ads. You’re free to grow on your own, at your own pace.
Targeted reach: Traditional advertising doesn’t give you the luxury to reach out to
your target audience the way social media ads do. It simply doesn’t work that way.
When you’re doing offline advertising, you’re taking the blind, shotgun approach
where your returns are dismal even if you’re making big investments. Using social
media ads you reach out to targeted prospects, increase your conversions and
ultimately get a higher return on investment.
Real-time performance analysis: Knowing if your ad is working or not is integral in order
to improve it. When you’re doing any type offline advertising, you’re unable to analyze
the performance of your ad campaign. Which cripples massively cripples your efforts.
Social media ads on the other hand allow you to constantly keep track of how well your
ad is performing. You’re able to change your ad on the fly and instantaneously see the
results.
Ability to reach more: People are no longer dependent on Google search when they
need to connect to something or someone. Today, search is not limited to the mighty
web search engines. It has moved beyond, which is why social media platforms such as
Facebook and Twitter are the new search engines.
The social media world is evolving and is so is the SEO arena. And there are high chances that
social signals may start having effect on your rankings. So why not be prepared by building your
social media presence with valuable content? It’s important for businesses of all types to
understand that social media ads are only getting bigger and smarter. Social media advertising is
where the future is headed. It’s the new wave.
CUSTOMER SEGMENTS
Digital Delight plans to cater to businesses generally that have an online presence but once I
went through the customer profiling, I carefully segmented a few groups that I essentially
wanted to serve. These segments include;
40000
20000
The logo designed for Digital Delight was designed entirely using Adobe Illustrator using a
shade from the decided color themes i.e. Crimson, along with basic black and white. The logo
represents a woman working on a laptop which is the essence of the business, the Digital
Evangelist running a business online.
COLOR THEMES
The colors chosen for a final theme were orange and red.
Orange color represents optimism,
independence, adventure, creativity, fun.
Commonly considered as the color of
encouragement meant for extroverts,
exuding happiness and joy. It’s a
motivating color that motivates young
people.
The suggested color shades were
Burnt orange
Tangerine
Tiger
Gold
Bright Amber
It was finally decided to use a monotone theme in the family of Red to represent Digital Delight
to give an energetic and exciting vibe. The specifically chosen shades were mahogany, maroon
and crimson.
