EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

variety of coffee and pastry products. The company plans to build a

strong market position in the town, due to the partners' industry experience and mild competitive climate in the area. B&B aims to offer its products at a competitive price to meet the demand of the middle-to higher-income local market area residents and tourists. The company intends to hire two full-time pastry bakers and six part-time baristas to handle customer service and day to day operations.

rest of the required financing. The company plans to build a strong market position in the town, due to the partners' industry experience and mild competitive climate in the area.

MARKETING STRATEGY
The process of marketing involves creating a market offering, to satisfy the needs and wants of the present and potential customers. To develop and market our products we use the strategy of marketing mix. The marketing mix is a business tool used in marketing and by marketing professionals. The marketing

mix is often crucial when determining a product or brand's

offering, and is often synonymous with the four Ps: PRICE: The price is very important as it determines the company's profit and hence, survival. Adjusting the price has a profound impact on the marketing strategy, and depending on the price elasticity of the product, often it will affect the demand and sales as well. PRODUCT: A product is seen as an item that satisfies what a consumer needs or wants. It is a tangible good or an intangible service. Intangible products are service based like the tourism industry, the hotel industry and the financial industry. PROMOTION: Promotion comprises elements such as: advertising, public relations, personal selling and sales promotion PLACE: Various strategies such as intensive distribution, selective distribution, exclusive distribution and franchising can be used by the marketer to complement the other aspects of the

marketing mix.

PROMOTIONAL STRATEGY
We at B&B will use personal selling and sales promotion techniques in order to promote the franchise and boost its sales. Professional salesmen

will present the products in the form of conversation

with one or more prospective customers for the purpose of making sales. At the same time the shortterm incentives will encourage the buyers to make immediate purchase of the product.

TARGET MARKET
B&B's focus is on meeting the demand of a regular local resident customer base, as well as a significant level of tourist traffic from nearby highways. The dominant target market for B&B is a regular stream of

local residents. Personal and expedient customer

service at a competitive price is key to maintaining the local market share of this target market.

MARKET NEEDS
Because Mumbai has a hot climate for eight months out of the year, iced coffee products are very much in demand. During the remaining cooler four months of the year, hot coffee products are in significantly high demand, along with a slower but consistent demand for iced coffee products. Much of the day's activity occurs in the morning hours before eleven a.m., with a

relatively steady flow for the remainder of the day.

MARKET SEGMENTATION
B&B focuses on the middle- and upper-income markets. These market segments consume the majority of coffee, espresso and bakery products. Local Residents B&B wants to establish a large regular customer base. This will establish a healthy, consistent revenue base to ensure stability of the business. Tourists Tourist traffic comprises approximately 35% of the revenues. High visibility and competitive products and service are critical to capture this segment of the market.

BREAK-EVEN POINT ANALYSIS

B&B's Break-even Analysis is based on the average of the firstyear figures for total sales by units, and by operating expenses. These are presented as per-unit revenue, per-unit cost, and fixed costs. These conservative assumptions make for a more accurate estimate of real risk. B&B should break even by the fourth month of its operation as it steadily increases its sales.
