Your Project: Marketing Outskirts 1812
Facebook Site: Outskirts 1812
Background Information: Outskirts 1812 is a "boutique business", which refers to a business of a smaller size that sells their own luxury products or unique services or hand-curated products that are often unique or fit into a niche. In considering marketing for Outskirts 1812, it may be useful to look both at how major health and wellness venues market themselves, as well as how other boutique businesses market themselves.
The goal of Outskirts 1812 is to "bring health and wellness to all that visit. This unique venture offers health and wellness retreats, workshops and classes, seasonal and holiday activities (such as Halloween Hayrides and Christmas Tree Sales), a space to host private and public entertainment events (such as weddings or live music), sale of plants and gift items, and coming this summer "glamping!" One unique feature of this business is their "therapy goats," which are used to provide "Goat Yoga."
Industry Classification: Public companies self-identify their primary industry using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). They may also identify secondary industries, often unrelated to the primary. Because they are self-identified, competitors often have different primary industries.
NAICS 711310 Promoters of Performing Arts, Sports, and Similar Events with Facilities
