way is the left or right. Additionally, deaf people are unable to
hear the instructions coming from their phone.

Purpose

We propose a unique method for receiving these navigation

instructions from smartphones that makes use of a device that
is often overlooked—the shoe—in an effort to get around the
problem. Our research would focus on creating a smart shoe
prototype that could connect to cellphones via bluetooth and
aid deliver navigational information through the vibration
units put all over the shoe. The wearer of these Tec shoes
could essentially get signals from the shoes on when, where,
and what kind of turn to make.
Tec shoe:

Did you ever consider a shoe a few years ago that could
effectively track your movements and analyze the footsteps?
While you are wearing it and going about your daily business,
does the shoe also evaluate your gait patterns and a variety of
other health metrics?

Tec shoes are present, so everything is proceeding smoothly

and normally. You getting a better handle on your health
monitoring procedure is the only goal of Tec Shoes.
A tracker built into a pair of Tec shoes makes it easy to keep
track of your daily activity, including how many steps you've
taken, which part of your feet gets the most contact, how
many calories you've burned, and how many more you should
burn. A Tec shoe also offers features like LED strip lighting
that may change its color, automatic lace tightening, and
more.

A tec shoe can pretty much give you all the necessary health
metrics so you can keep track of things and get healthier. In a
world where it is questionable whether this quick evolution of
technology is advantageous or not, it is really astonishing how
technology is assisting the general public in improving their
health. If you've ever been curious about Tec sneakers. They

Product Branding:

As brands have grown, they are no longer just associated with

a particular good or service. The business goal in this instance
of bringing the product to the market is to introduce the brand
to a limited group of people and gauge their response to the
product.
The Anxiety and Depression Association of America's
statistics shows that 40% of daily stressors endure persistent
stress, and 72% of persons who experience daily stress and
anxiety believe it interferes with their lives in some way.

Therefore, releasing the goods under private brand labels will

help the company differentiate itself from other well-known,
powerful brand names. The company will generate large
earnings for manufacturers and dealers with the use of a
private branding approach. Due to their collaboration with
other businesses, the product is more inexpensive and less
expensive. As married couples and workers make up the
majority of the population in Lexington, they are the market
that is targeted. Three planning methods, including the sales
process, campaign planning, and marketing planning, are
included in the strategic planning tools for the product's
branding.

The planning of the sales process comprises branding the

goods via traditional media, direct mail, publicity,
telemarketing, and the organization of various events. After
conducting market research and holding modest events in and
around Columbia, Orangeburg, etc., we can start by sending
emails to potential customers.

Planning a campaign enables our company to support social

media engagement and online advertising to anticipate that
users will be familiar with the brand. Customer retention,
business growth, expansion, and sales management will all be
emphasized in the third level.

The brand is increasingly well-known among consumers

because of many qualities. Customers are more likely to buy a
product if it offers appealing qualities like elegance, allure,
and health benefits, among others. The brand must expand on
its powerful brand promises and lessen its flaws.

OPERATIONAL PLAN

The activities and goals that the organization will pursue to

work toward accomplishing the goals and objectives outlined
in the strategic plan are outlined in an operational plan. It
offers the structure for a company's daily activities. A year is
covered by an operational plan. Annual operational plans
should be used to support your strategic plan. Where there is
paid employees, senior staff members will frequently create
these; nevertheless, they need management committee
approval. The Management Committee can then assess
progress towards achieving the strategic aims and objectives
based on reporting against the operational plan.

We will purchase these shoes' raw ingredients from China and

India, make them in India, and market them on online
shopping sites.

Row Material consist of:

• High-quality Leather.

• Load cell—used to produce power for the shoe-

integrated massager. Circuit chips and electrical
components

• Rubber

• Dye- used in the process of colouring

• Packing Material: cartons, boxes, tissue sheets, tags, and

barcode labels

Everyone is aware that labor costs in less developed nations

are extremely low, thus the supplier's price is reasonable
enough for us to add a profit margin that will enable us to
draw in more customers. Additionally, we looked for
providers across a variety of platforms, and the following
factors led us to select this source. In contrast to Chinese
products that imitate or duplicate Adidas or Nike, the products
are distinct. Second, Indian goods will have a better
reputation than similar goods and will be more widely
accepted. Thirdly, because the supplier is from a less
developed region of India, their negotiating position may not
be as strong.

FINANCIAL PLAN

Financial planning is the strategy required for calculating a

company's funding needs and identifying potential sources of
those funds. In essence, it entails creating a financial strategy
for the business' upcoming operations. Broad in scope, it
typically lasts for three to five years and involves choices
about long-term growth, investment, and financing.
