VALIDATION

Happy Mama piñata compared to competitors is a one of a kind business here in South Florida.

The services provided by Happy Mama piñata are not offered anywhere else. After conducting

market research on the type of service the company will provide, the only true competitors are

found in online markets. Happy Mama piñata’s relatable competitors are Party City, Party Max,

Target, Wal-Mart and other small local business that have relatable merchandise but no

customization over any of the products sold by these companies. Online markets that offer

similar services are Etsy, Amazon and business like the ones previously mention that sell

products online. These businesses, however, fail to offer the ability to customize and design

unique products based on creativity and the general idea of the customer. There is no true

competitor for this business.

PROTOTYPE & TEST SALES/PRE-SALES

Sales will be conducted mainly via Social Media and direct order. An Etsy account has also been

made to market products already made with the option for special customization. Customers can

visit Happy Mama piñata’s Instagram page and see what has been made but overall be able to

order products based on inspirational photos, ideas, and event theme. The customization of the

piñatas is what really sells the product. As oppose to finding something already made Happy

Mama piñata will offer the customer the ability to create their own unique pinata for their event

unlike anything offered anywhere else or in a store. Sales have been successful via Instagram.

ABOUT ME

Yusimi

For as long as I can remember I’ve had a passion for arts and crafts. My friends and family constantly

relied on me and asked me for help to put together our family parties. One day a friend brought a piñata to me

she had purchased online. It looked nothing like the product description or like the picture of what she could

expect. She asked me to use my crafting skills to transform the piñata. The transformation was a success and it

was the talk of the party. After that day I had people reaching out to me on my personal Instagram page to ask

me to make piñatas for them. Since then I decided to turn my hobbies into a small business I now call Happy

Mama Piñata. Behind the scenes of my production I am a mom and a teacher. Both require also my creativity

and have become my muse for my projects. I put all my passion into my work. I like to create unique things and

make my customers happy. I love the wow factor and the faces I get when they receive their piñata.
