3.0 Services

Chiropractors, also known as doctors of chiropractic or chiropractic physicians, diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are associated with the body's muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems, especially the spine. Chiropractors believe interference with these systems impairs normal functions and lowers resistance to disease. They also hold that the spinal or vertebral dysfunction alters many important body functions by affecting the nervous system, and the skeletal imbalance through joint or articular dysfunction.

This chiropractor's approach to health care is holistic, emphasizing the patient's overall health and wellness. Betcher Chiropractic recognizes that there are many factors that can effect one's wellness including but not limited to: exercise, diet, rest, environment, and hereditary. Betcher Chiropractic provides natural, drugless, nonsurgical health treatments, relying on the bodies inherent recuperative functions.

4.1 Market Segmentation

Betcher Chiropractic has identified two distinct market segments that it will target services to.

Individuals age 45-65This customer segment has experienced an increase in wellness issues, particularly those that are related to the vertebral dysfunction. This segment often has the disposable income to pay for visits in the event that their insurance does not cover chiropractic visits.

• Have a household income of at least $65,000• 67% of the group have at least an undergraduate degree• 29% of the customers have a graduate degree• Tend to fall in the middle or slightly to the left politically• Are open to try new treatments in search of a wellness program that will reduce their current

pain levels• 44% of the customer are vegetarian• 67% of the customers are cognizant of their food intake and are careful to analyze their diet

Individuals age 25-44This segment is in search of a wellness treatment/program to address their constant or intermittent pains.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

Betcher Chiropractic has targeted these groups for two separate but important reasons. Each factor applies more directly to one of the two different groups.

• Health Problems: A variety of health problems associated with the body's muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems is the impetus for the majority of customers age 45-65. It is at this mid to late portion of a person's life that they began to develop more wellness issues. This customer segment seeks out chiropractors to aid in the management of the pain/discomfort.

• Openness to alternative medicine: For individuals age 25-44, the willingness to try alternative medicine therapy is a significant motivator for the customers to use a chiropractor's treatment. They are open to the possibility that an alternative form of treatment can be effective in allowing them to manage their pain. This openness to alternative treatment could be a result of western medicine's ineffectiveness, or a willness to try non-conventional means.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

Chiropractors are licensed doctors of chiropractic medicine. All states regulate the practice of chiropractic and grant licenses to chiropractors who meet educational and examination requirements. Most state boards require a four year bachelors degree in additional to chiropractic college coursework from an accredited program for becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic. There are currently 16 accredited Chiropractic Education programs.

The job market for chiropractors is growing at a faster rate than the average of all occupations. There are about 50,000 licensed chiropractors, most in a solo practice, although some practice with a group. Median annual earnings of salaried chiropractors was $67,030 in 2000. The middle 50% earned between $44,030 and $105,520 a year.

Self employed doctors typically earn more than their salaried counterparts. Typically chiropractic doctors experience relatively low earnings initially, increasing as their practice grows.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

There are approximately 2,300 chiropractic doctors in Oregon, 1,390 in Portland alone. In Portland, 89% of the chiropractors are in a solo practice. The direct competitors to Betcher Chiropractic are other local chiropractors. Indirect competitors are other alternative treatment providers as well as more traditional physicians.

Buying patterns of customers are usually dictated by the element of networking or word of mouth. Patients are more likely to visit a doctor that is recommended to them, however not everyone can get a referral. Patients that have success with a chiropractor are often quite vocal about their results thereby increasing the word of mouth effect.

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

Betcher Chiropractic will leverage its competitive edge of a strict individual, holistic approach which is more successful than other doctors by truly concentrating on the individual and making specific analysis and recommendations for the particular individual. The marketing strategy will employ several different methods including free public seminars, print advertising, and networking activities. The sales effort will be a specific and conscious effort to exceed the customer's expectations. This effort recognizes the significant value of word of mouth referrals and by adopting this approach fuels these customer base building activities.

5.1 Sales Strategy

The sales strategy is based on the need to exceed all of the customer's expectations. By exceeding all expectations, customer's will have only positive things to say about Betcher Chiropractic. Additionally, a patient that has been successfully treated is particularly vocal about the experience with their friends and aquaintances because the improvement of one's wellness is so fundamental and apparent in one's life.

5.1.1 Sales Forecast

Betcher Chiropractic has developed a conservative forecast that recognizes growth in a doctor's practice is slow, steady and incremental. This type of growth is acceptable because it adopts a long-term perspective as opposed to short-term profits that are unlikely to be sustainable. Please review the following chart and table for more detailed information of the sales forecasts.

5.2 Competitive Edge

Betcher Chiropractic's competitive edge is the holistic individual approach to wellness. The basic assumptions of this approach are:

1. Each patient is a distinct individual. While there are many common problems among people, each individual's body reacts differently to different stimuli and the most effective treatment assumes that analysis must be made using traditional flow chart frameworks while taking into account the significant individual variance.

2. All wellness treatments must be addressed in a holistic manner. The human body is a complex "ecosystem" of many interconnected systems. Wellness problems are rarely specific to an organ or system, they are generally affected by various systems working together and should be treated accordingly.

Betcher Chiropractic treats every patient with these philosophical approaches. Betcher Chiropractic is able to offer more effective treatment relative to other doctors because its mission is to treat patients in the most effective manner. Success is achieved by addressing the problems that prompted the patient to visit the doctor. By religiously following the above mentioned approaches Betcher Chiropractic can offer more effective care.

5.3 Marketing Strategy

The marketing strategy is based on three different types of activities:

1. Public Seminars: Betcher Chiropractic will offer numerous free public seminars in an effort to increase visibility in the surrounding communities. Seminars are an effective way of introducing Betcher Chiropractic to prospective customers. They increase visibility of Betcher Chiropractic and provide a venue to develop a trust relationship with the individual, an important foundation of a doctor-patient relationship.

2. Print Advertising: Betcher Chiropractic has identified several publications that Betcher Chiropractic will advertise in including The Oregonian and Willamette Weekly.

3. Networking: This marketing effort recognizes that the buying patterns of patients are often based on who you know. By performing numerous networking activities both professional and personally, Betcher Chiropractic will be introduced to a larger number of people and this will increase the number of conversions from potential customer to patient.

5.4 Milestones

Betcher Chiropractic has identified four specific milestones that will be ambitious but achievable goals for the organization:

1. Completion of the business plan.2. Secure and prepare the facilities.3. Full time status.4. Profitability.

6.0 Management Summary

Tarri Betcher received her undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Oregon. Throughout school Tarri believed hat she wanted to serve in some sort of care taker role but was unsure in what capacity.

During her final year, Tarri assisted a chiropractor. What she really enjoyed about this line of work was the amount of success or progress that the doctor made with each patient.

Recognizing that most chiropractors are in solo practice, Tarri took an additional year of post undergraduate course work to strengthen her business/small business management skills in anticipation of a future practice.

Tarri began her four year chiropractic college course work at the Portland Chiropractic College. During this four year period where Tarri, was an honors student, earning all of her education requirements and participating in numerous clinics providing her with hands-on experience. Upon graduation Tarri began work on a business plan for the new solo practice, a recognition of the importance of a plan in the success of her future business venture.
