Summary:碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 國際創業與經營管理學程碩士在職專班 === 98 === Just Love Someone (JLS) is an entrepreneurial initiative designed to ensure, encourage, and enable a standard of education for children worldwide through apparel. JLS leverages the sophisticated and comprehensive fashion industry with a philanthropic approach by developing a mass merchandising approach to promotional, marketing, event, and uniform apparel. The products create a double impact, fulfilling the need of the consumer, while also impacting the education of a child in need. Just Love Someone is setting out to establish a new standard in the mass merchandising industry, holding corporations, companies, educational institutions, and organizations accountable for playing their part in society, by giving back. JLS is developing relationships with leading t‐shirt and apparel suppliers and innovators of earth conscious materials from around the world. We will offer various price levels through mass merchandising, offering a range of basic, fashion foreword style, and eco‐friendly styles. JLS seeks to inspire people to live by our motto of “Just Love Someone. Something. Somewhere”, and will continue to give back to children in the form of educational motivation, scholarships, and supplies. According to the Global Issues Organization, there are 2.2 billion children in the world, out of which 117 million are uneducated and don’t have the resources or ability to change their situation. Just Love Someone’s goals and initiatives are to actively impact as many of these children’s lives as possible. JLS sets out to combine appearance, quality and influence to be the first mass merchandising company, holding corporations and organizations accountable for their participation in Social Activities. Consumers will be able to place apparel orders online through justlovesomeone.com and through an active sales representative. JLS will distinguish the apparel from all other clothing and wholesale lines currently in the industry through our unique branding and way of giving back. Each JLS product will have a subtle, but distinguishable armband on the bottom of every left sleeve. The armband is representative of the full circle effect that Just Love Someone brings about. JLS mass merchandising will initially target United States companies, organizations, colleges, and later expand globally to Canada, South America, Europe, Asia.The existing potential mass merchandising market in the U.S. has reported that 42% of companies already have International Philanthropic presence, while almost 46% of those companies are developing strategic plans to further increase and refine their involvement in this area. JLS is creating a means for companies and organizations to fulfill their needs of custom t‐shirts and apparel in uniforms, special event wear, and promotional wear, while also meeting standards in the corporate social responsibility realm. JLS mass merchandising will turnover 15% of the profits earned on each order in a to be distributed by Just Love Someone in the name of the purchasing company, in one of the following ways: - In the form of an educational scholarship to current employees or children of employees looking to further their education. - Donate the fund to a foundation/charity/or cause that the company is already passionate about and working with. - Donate the funds to the Just Love Someone “Global Education Initiative Program”, which works to enhance the educational learning environment of children living in rural or less fortunate places in the world, through the distribution of school supplies and necessary materials to create a positive and enriching environment for learning.
