The brief of Oxfam Shop
Oxfam Shop is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oxfam Australia, operating in the highly competitive Australian retail environment as a non-profit organisation. Oxfam Australia began as Community Aid Abroad more than 50 years ago. Today Oxfam participates in the Fair-trade Labelling Organisation (FLO) recognised around the world. The Oxfam Shop is a multi-channel retail business comprised of an e-commerce website, direct mail program and retail outlets. It is registered as a Fair Trade Organisation by the World Fair Trade Association (WFTO). Fair trade empowers disadvantaged communities in developing countries by paying them fair and stable prices for their work, helping them to gain the skills they need to develop their business, and giving them access to world markets.
The foods and handicrafts on the Oxfam Shop website are sourced from individual workers, craft bodies and fair trade organisations. Oxfam Shop buys these goods at a fair price and sells them in Australia so that communities may be helped in their struggle for a better life. But working in the non-profit sector and the highly competitive online retail space, is not without its challenges and tensions - how do you go about driving sales through strategic and tactical thinking and gain insight from the mass of available data? (Panalysis, 2014)
Oxfam Shop operates under an organization, Oxfam Australia. The following are Oxfam Australia (2015) vision, values and goals. Your new product should be fitted in the organization's philosophy.
