Introduction
The Palácio Corporation is a three-division diversified designer and manufacturer of products and accompanying services for the $295 billion luxury products market, the $450 billion health and wellness market, and the $130 billion selected premium consumer products market.
Problem
We found problems in several distinct categories:
Home fitness equipment
Most home exercise equipment is functional-only, ugly and uninspiring. This causes consumers to not want to use the equipment.
Online fitness classes
Many online fitness classes take place in a studio setting and the programming lacks visual appeal and variety.
Luxury products
Luxury consumers are constantly on the hunt for the next unique and collectable luxury product.
Selected premium consumer products
We anticipate our first-to-market product being a beach and pool accessory.
Problem: Beach and pool—people love going to the beach or pool, but hate the shlep of it.
Solution
Palácio is a three-division designer and manufacturer striving to deliver impeccable quality products and services:

Business Model
Palácio is an e-commerce B2C company via its website. We design and plan to manufacture all of our products in the US with the exception of our upcoming line of handbags which we anticipate to be manufactured in Italy. We plan on selling our products and services directly to our customers through our branded e-commerce website, www.palacio.com. For select products we also have a distribution model through catalogs and retailers. Finally, some of our lower-priced products are positioned to be licensed to qualified manufacturing and fulfillment outlets.
In addition to our products, we plan to enter the rapidly expanding, high growth global market of online fitness and health classes. We are building a proprietary membership model set to welcome both current online fitness class enthusiasts as well as new members.
We envision launching one product per division, with the intent this lead product has ample opportunity to become the ambassador for that division or brand. Behind that lead product are a multitude of other products and services in the design and testing phase. Our aim is to build each PRODUCT into a line and the line into a brand in and of itself. This organic and dynamic development and growth model sets the stage for diversification and high value creation in the company.
