4.0 Strategic and Market Analysis

4.1 Economic Outlook

The business of photo booth management is a relatively simply business. This section of analysis will detail the overall economic climate, and the interest rate environment, and the photo booth industry.

Currently, the economic market condition in the United States is in moderate. Unemployment rates have declined while asset prices have risen substantially.

A mild concern for the Company is its ability to price its products during times of oil spikes. As the Photo Booth Company will have high distribution costs, increases in the price of oil can have a deleterious impact on the Company’s profit and loss statement. However this event is unlikely and the price of oil would need to increase much higher before there is an impact on the Company’s revenue.

4.2 Industry Analysis

In the United States, there are 6,000 companies that maintain photo booths, vending machines, and related routes. Each year, these businesses aggregately generate more than $7.1 billion dollars of revenue.

This is a mature industry, and future growth is expected to be on par with that of the general economy.

4.3 Customer Profile

Management will target the following entities for placement of the Company’s photo booth machines:

• Hotels and Motels

• Airports

• Entertainment Facilities

4.4 Competitive Analysis

This is one of the sections of the business plan that you must write completely on your own. The key to writing a strong competitive analysis is that you do your research on the local competition. Find out who your competitors are by searching online directories and searching in your local Yellow Pages. If there are a number of competitors in the same industry (meaning that it is not feasible to describe each one) then showcase the number of businesses that compete with you, and why your business will provide customers with service/products that are of better quality or less expensive than your competition.

At this time it is difficult to determine the competition that the Company will face as it progresses through its operations. There are a number of photo booth companies that maintain machines throughout the State of New York.

5.0 Marketing Plan

Below is a description of the marketing plan that the Photo Booth Company will use to establish its locations throughout the State of New York.

5.1 Marketing Objectives

• Develop an online presence by developing a website and placing the Company’s name and contact information with online directories.

• Implement a local campaign with the Company’s targeted market via the use of flyers, local newspaper advertisements, and word of mouth advertising.

• Establish relationships with property managers, owners of entertainment venues, malls, and other facilities that would benefit from having photo booth machines.

5.2 Marketing Strategies

Marketing for the business’ photo booth machines will be very limited. The Company’s marketing campaigns will be limited to developing relationships with malls, entertainment companies, malls, and property management firms. Prior to the onset of operations, Mr. Doe will approach these businesses for placing photo booths on their properties.

The Company intends to also develop a website that will showcase the operations of the business, how a potential location can work with the Photo Booth Company, and relevant contact information. As the economy is currently sluggish, many property management firms and related organizations are looking for ways to establish secondary lines of revenue; namely through the rental of space to photo booth companies.

5.3 Pricing

However, if you have hundreds of items, condense your product list categorically. This section of the business plan should not span more than 1 page.more than 1 page.
