Market need
The market of event decoration line is very diverse and needed by a wide range of group of people. Individuals as well as organizations demand the services we provide. We analyze this sector based on the private organization, public organization and also individual. Furthermore, we divide the individual part to a few age stages to make further analysis. a) Private Organization Private organizations make up the single largest portion of our client base. Private organizations such as businesses, corporations, and political parties host the most events on the large scale. Therefore, these events generate larger revenues per event. The majority of larger scale holiday functions will fall under this segment. b) Public Organization Government agencies host many events every year. The second single largest segment, the public sector, can save money and give back to its community at the same time. These events are moderate in scale with middle to low revenues generated. Emphasis is placed on the visibility of the event for public viewing. The majority of organizational family functions will fall under this segment. c) Age Breakdowns i. Under 24: Persons under the age of twenty-four (24) using an event decorator are rare at best. We hope to tap the early college graduates who have begun their professional careers but have not yet started their families. These events will focus mainly on themes with moderate to high energy appeal. The revenues generated will range from moderate to high, depending on the event. The majority of weddings will fall into this segment. ii. Ages 25-55: The persons that fall into this age group are employed, middle to upper-middle class families. The reason they choose event decorator is they are too busy to do it themselves. These events will generate moderate revenues, with a few generating low revenues. The majority of special occasion decoration will occur in this market segment.

iii.

Ages 56 and above: Persons over the age of 55 have reached the turning point of life. Many are retiring, others are celebrating anniversaries of significant years, and still others are seeing that their children's special events are taken care of. These events will generate moderate to high revenues depending upon the income level of the family (direct correlation to social status). Most holiday parties, and other special occasions, such as wedding receptions and reunions, will occur in this market segment.

The market of flower retail is greatly depended on the occasion or festival. Every special occasion has different demand of flowers. For instance, customers will buy for carnation for mother at Mothers Day while demand of roses will increase during Valentine day. Other than that, birthday, university graduation, Christmas, Fathers Day and New Year are occasions and festive where the market needs flower retail and services.

Degree of innovation
Our ideas to promote the business are to employ aid of advance technology despite the convention method such as distributing promotion leaflets. We aim to create an official website to market our business. The latest promotion and attractive packages offered will be updated to the website from time to time. We will also send email to our customers to inform the latest promotion to them. Besides that, the design of the event is normally unique for every high end event.

Section 5.0 Marketing Programs 5.1 Marketing Overview

Fleur Design Decoration started the business this year and the fundamental is not strong enough, so the overall marketing strategy is making moderate profit but promoting our companys name to the customers. The overall profit in the first 3 years is 30 percent of the capitalized cost. After that, the profit return will be raised to around 50 to 70 percent. The company will set up an official website in internet for us to connect with our customer. Since, the stake holders will create and maintain the website by themselves.

6.2 Financial Qs to consider

From the business plan, it is shown that the revenues are generated from the sales of products and services to customers. Our business offers products, such as fresh and artificial flowers, decorations and DIYs. On the other hand, services that we provided are decorating venues of special occasions and deliveries of our products to certain areas. In general, revenue is income that we received in the form of cash or cash equivalents. In business, an expense or expenditure is an outflow of money to another person or group to pay for an item or service, or for a category of costs. The main expenses will be coming from rents, purchasing flowers and decorations, taxes and also transport fees. These expenses are necessary to make sure that there will be no shortage in terms of our products, customers, assets and services. Assumptions that underlie the financial plan proposed are the initial capital is coming from the investments of five owners. Besides that, the assets have been included initially in the financial plan. Other than that, it is assumed that there are no liabilities in the business. To generate products and continue to provide services for our customers, ongoing sources of capital is essential to sustain these operations. Fixed capital is money used to purchase assets that will remain permanently in the business and help it to make profit. The assets are motorcycles used for delivery, registers, furniture and others. Meanwhile, working capital is part of capital invested which is

used for running business, which are money used to buy stock, pay expenses and finance credit. All the sources of the capital are from direct and online retailing, and also sales of services. Profits come from revenues minus expenses of our business. In order to ensure that our business is generating profits, we will advertise our business on the streets and also on the internet. We will offer satisfied services to our customers so that they will be loyal to our company and continue to spend their money there. In addition, we will save on the expenses like electricity and water by turning them off when they are not in use and also on some unnecessary or redundant expenses.

We will vary our products and services by adapting new technologies and methods. In short, our business will continuously innovates and generate more and more profits.
