■ Market Environment and Growth Opportunities
In Korea, customizable ballpoint pens (DIY pens) have rapidly expanded, driven by social media, with multiple cases of single stores generating several million yen in monthly sales.
In Japan as well, against the backdrop of:
- The 'Oshikatsu' (fandom support) market: estimated at around 1 trillion yen
- The character/IP market: a continuously growing area
- The SNS commerce market: experiencing high growth
we are positioning this business as a core area of experiential consumption for Gen Z.
■ Business Model
This business will generate revenue through the following three layers:
1. Experiential Revenue (Stores)
- Average spend per customer: 800 yen - 1,500 yen
- Turnover rate: 15 - 15 people per hour (estimated)
2. Parts/Repeat Revenue (E-commerce/Stores)
- Cost ratio: approx. 45-50%
- Gross profit margin: around 50%
- Continuous purchase model via SNS
3. IP/Collaboration Revenue
- Character/talent collaborations

■ Growth Strategy
This business possesses high scalability for the following reasons:

- Fast inventory turnover ensures high cash efficiency
- Optimization of advertising cost efficiency through SNS viral spread
In particular, by focusing on a franchise model, we will realize nationwide expansion with low risk.
