Tell us about your business:
Coastal Kits specialises in beach equipment rentals on the Sunshine Coast, serving locals and tourists seeking hassle-free beach experiences. Our mission is to enhance beach days with high-quality, eco-friendly gear, from sun loungers to water sports equipment, delivered directly to the beach. We're driven by a passion for the ocean and a commitment to sustainability, aiming to minimise the environmental impact of beach activities while maximising enjoyment. Coastal Kits embodies the spirit of carefree, eco-conscious leisure, making us a trusted companion for memorable days by the sea.
How would $5k or $10k enable you to create more profit and impact in your business?
Investing $10k in Coastal Kits would significantly boost impact by expanding our eco-friendly rental inventory, enabling us to serve more customers and reduce plastic waste in beach environments. We'd also invest in marketing to reach a broader audience, emphasising the importance of sustainable beach enjoyment. Additionally, funds would support the development of a mobile app, making it easier for customers to rent beach equipment, thereby increasing convenience, customer satisfaction, and ultimately, revenue. This strategic enhancement of services and customer experience aligns with our mission to provide hassle-free, environmentally conscious beach days on the Sunshine Coast.
Please outline what you would spend the grant on:
The $10k grant would be allocated as follows: 40% towards expanding our eco-friendly inventory, ensuring a wider range of sustainable beach equipment options. Another 30% would be dedicated to enhancing our digital presence through targeted marketing campaigns and SEO, to reach a broader audience and educate them on eco-conscious beach practices. The remaining 30% would fund the development of a user-friendly mobile app, streamlining the rental process and improving customer experience. This strategic investment in inventory, marketing, and technology is aimed at boosting revenue while amplifying our impact on promoting sustainable beach leisure on the Sunshine Coast.
