smoked fish. BOG also offers a custom basket which allow customers to pick items from a listand BOG will assemble the basket with their custom ingredients.

Inaddition to these, BOG will typically have one or two specials, often seasonally based.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary

BOG will be going after two distinct market segments, individuals and corporations. Bothgroups buy gift baskets as a goodwill gesture, typically for different reasons. Individualstypically buy the baskets as a present with over half of sales occur during holidays.Corporations buy the baskets as presents as well but usually for events unrelated to the

4.1 Market Segmentation

BOG's has two distinct groups of customers, individuals and corporate customers:1. Individuals- The individuals are people who are looking to give a friend, relative,

colleague, etc., a gift basket as a gesture of goodwill. These customers typically do nothave a specific type of gift basket in mind when they look at BOG's product offerings,they just want to give a gift.

2. Corporate- The corporate customer is typically buying the basket for a colleague atwork, either as a sign of appreciation, for a special event, or as a thank you for acustomer. The corporate market can be further broken down to banks, health care,employment gifts, real estate, apartments, special events/promotions, corporateheadquarters, hotels/vacation resorts, and automobile dealerships.

of the purchasers of gift baskets. The corporate customer could be buying the basket forsomeone within their company, or they could be buying it for a customer, vendor, etc. Thetrend for the corporation to purchase gifts is not a new phenomenon and therefore wouldappear to be a solid market segment to pursue.

4.3 Competition and Buying Patterns

There are many different forms of competition in the gift basket business:1. Similar gift basket type retail stores: There are several of these stores located in

Salem. These competitors offer a wide range of gift baskets, however none of them areconcentrating on the higher end, gourmet product line.2. Nut/fruit companies: There are several stores that concentrate on nuts and or fruit

baskets.3. Bath product gift basket companies: There is currently one gift basket company

that concentrates on bath products. Bath products have a slightly smaller population of people who appreciate these products (as women predominately appreciate bathproducts more then men do).

4. Regional gift basket: There is one retailer that sells gift baskets composed of localproducts. These type of baskets tend to appeal to people that are buying gifts forpeople that are not from this area.

5. Candy gift baskets: There are several candy stores that offer, as one on theirproducts, a candy gift basket. Similar to the bath products basket, candy typicallyappeals to women a bit more so then men.

6. Florists: Flowers are a similar product that competes with gift baskets. Once againflowers tend to appeal to women more so then men.

The purchasing of gift baskets is very "seasonal." More than half of the gift basket purchasingoccurs during a wide variety of holidays.

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

BOG's marketing and sales strategy will be based on two different types of media, brochuresand a website. Through these two tools, customers will become familiar with BOG's products.BOG will also heavily rely on word of mouth referrals for business. BOG does not anticipate

any difficulties in developing these referrals as BOG's mission is customer centric. Everythingthey do revolves around developing a happy customer.

5.1 Competitive Edge

The Basket of Goodies

8/8/2019 Basket of Goodies

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/basket-of-goodies 10/24

2. Unrelenting desire for the highest quality product and service. This market space isalready crowded, a mediocre gift basket service will not succeed, so there must be

some sort of differentiation. Susan only uses the finest quality ingredients and canafford to because of her low overhead. Additionally, she always follows the maxim thatthe customer must be 100% satisfied. That means she is willing to loose money in theshort run if necessary to please a customer, confident that in the long run that this is awise business decision.

5.2 Sales Strategy

BOG's sales strategy will be targeted at obtaining both the individual and corporate clients. Itis our belief that the individual customers will be primarily obtained through word of mouthreferrals. It is likely that they will have spoken to a previous client about BOG and the referralof our services will speak for itself. Our sales strategy will be to use an emphasis on our valueand high quality when trying to close the sale of the prospect. The prospective client can get asimilar product from a number of different vendors. BOG will attempt to close the sale byshowing the high quality of the basket by highlighting some of the individual ingredients.BOG's expectation is that once they are impressed with the quality of the basket, they willthen be surprised that it is priced the same as competing products. The combination of theperception of higher quality and the recognition of value should turn a lead into a customer.

Additionally, we provide several ways to procure the baskets. One way is for the customer tocome by the office and place the order. The customer can also place the order through aphone call. Either they have ordered before, or are looking at a brochure and know what theywant, or they can visit our website for a complete catalog of our products. To receive theproduct, they can pick up the product, or they may have it shipped via UPS. BOG believes thatby providing the customer a wide range of options, they will feel that they are special as we

will do a wide range of services to accommodate them. Our sales strategy for individuals andparticularly corporations will be based on our Web presence in conjunction with our printedcatalog. Both media will have detailed information about our service offerings.

Through our marketing efforts we will be driving people to our website and/or catalog. Once onour website, people will see the wide range of product offerings we have and then can contactus. The website will be especially useful for someone out of town who is need of a gift forsomeone. BOG expects the corporate customers to utilize the website as a catalog, as well asan order taker, because it takes less time for them to order on the Web then it does from

them to do in person.

does not need a business plan to raise capital, it will be an indispensable tool for theongoing performance and improvement of the company.

6.0 Management Summary

BOG will be formed as a sole proprietorship, owned and operated by Susan Presento. There isno compelling need to incorporate. The advantage of incorporation would be limited liability,yet the disadvantage would be the set-up costs and maintenance (tax disadvantages). Acomprehensive insurance policy should cover any liability that BOG is exposed to.

Susan Presento, founder and owner, has a degree in communications from the University of Portland. During her undergraduate years, Susan worked at Nothstroms, perfecting her

customer-centric perspective. After graduation, Susan managed a flower shop in Salem. It wasduring these three years that Susan gained her insight to the gift giving practices of Oregonians. Susan also gained valuable management experience in her work at the florist.Susan will be relying on Robert Presento, her husband to help out in the pick up of theingredients of her products. In addition to Robert's help, Susan will be using Jennifer Simonwho works in the purchasing department of a large corporation. Jennifer will act as aconsultant regarding the purchasing habits of corporations, a niche of the industry that Susanwould like to be a part of.

6.1 Personnel Plan

The staff of BOG will consist of Susan working full time. Susan's husband Robert will help withinventory procurement but will not be listed on the payroll. Robert will be picking up inventoryon his way home from work occasionally and will not be billing BOG for his work. JenniferSimon will be an consultant for BOG for insight into the corporate market. By month eight BOGwill have gotten fairly busy, at least for Susan and she will bring on board a part-time

employee. This employee will be used for the assembly of the baskets.
