Cliff, Massachusetts 01862

The Wild Oasis nightclub provides a local solution to the

lack of dance and live music venues in a medium­sized

market, and will help keep late­night entertainment

expenditures within the region. The company's good grasp

of how to market a nightclub adds to the plan's

attractiveness.

Industry Description

Dance clubs in the 1990s have significantly impacted cities from coast to coast. Los Angeles Hollywood, New York's Times

Square, and Seattle's Pioneer Square are just a few examples. Dazzling their audiences with high­powered lights, sound,

and music, these venues are still one of the highest cash flow businesses in the world. Studies have shown that the average

person will spend three to four hours per weekend in an entertainment environment and will spend an average of 20 to 50

dollars in that timeframe. This trend also shows no signs of declining.

The typical dance club is open from 9:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M., and within this span of five hours, the venue can achieve gross

revenues anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000 nightly. The primary sources of revenue in a nightclub are high­volume

traffic, coupled with nominal spending. In addition to alcohol revenues, a nightclub also generates substantial revenues

from door charges that can typically range from five to ten dollars per person.

For example, a 1,000­person capacity nightclub will typically accommodate approximately 1,500 people in the five­hour

span of operation. A $5 door charge, in addition to a conservative figure of $12.25 collected from each patron in alcohol

sales, would generate approximately $30,000 in nightly revenue.

Nightclubs in the late 1980s and early 1990s focused on spectacular light shows and energetic dance music. This relatively

simple concept is still quite popular today. However, these concepts have greatly evolved with society. In recent years this

industry has become more sophisticated with the availability of new technology. Larger metropolitan areas have taken

this technology to new heights with sound and lighting designs that create an exciting and memorable experience.

Fortunately, no one in the downtown Cliff area has capitalized on this specific segment of the industry to date.

Additionally, the nightclub industry is shifting towards a more entertainment­oriented concept. Guests of these clubs are

not only offered a dynamic place to dance, but also a place to participate in the entertainment through interactive

contests, theme nights, and other events. We intend to heavily utilize entertainment­oriented marketing in an effort to

withstand the perpetual shift in trends and cater to as large a client base as possible.

Nightclubs and other drinking establishments rely heavily on their primary suppliers. The primary suppliers are the

various beverage distributors that provide the establishment with both alcoholic and non­alcoholic beverages. The

alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, and liquor) are the primary sources of income in this industry. Other beverage suppliers

also play a crucial role by providing non­alcoholic beverages. These are either served alone or mixed with alcohol.

In the Cliff area, all major brands of alcoholic beverages are available, in addition to several regional brands of beer.

Initial research shows that the major distributors in the market have a high rating in both product availability and

delivery.

Business Description

The resurgence of the downtown Cliff area represents a unique opportunity for a high­energy dance club. The city's central

location, demographics, and lack of direct competition are major advantages to this project. The proposed club—

tentatively named "Wild Oasis"—will provide a local solution to the lack of dance and live music venues geared toward the

21 to 35 age group in the Noble County area and will help keep late night entertainment expenditures within the region.

The development of the University of Waters Cliff campus has been, and will continue to be, a major catalyst in bringing

people to the area. With current enrollment of over 1,300 students, the year­and­a­half old campus is slated for steady

expansion through 2010 when enrollment is expected to hit 6,000 students. Additional surrounding educational

institutions (two universities, two community colleges) also contribute to the potential customer base. Other proposals in

the area such as the Multiplex Theatre and shopping center will also greatly impact the city's traffic flow and nightlife.

The new nightclub will specialize in high­energy dance music with a quality light show, and will offer beer, wine, and an

array of liquors and mixed drinks. In addition, the club will sell non­alcoholic beverages such as soft drinks, juices, and

bottled water. A small food menu consisting mostly of appetizers and small entrees ranging in cost from $6 to $9 will also

be available. The initial hours of operation will be 8:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M. Wednesday through Saturday. The club will

draw primarily from the Cliff market while attracting guests from the area's other major cities in the state.

Club Design

Our goal is to provide a comfortable and welcoming environment as well as a unique, exciting nightclub experience. This

dance club will feature high ceilings and a contemporary look with dynamic upscale decor, furnishings, and color scheme

modeled after a big city loft. The central area of the club will consist of a large dance floor with cocktail seating along the

perimeter and a large bar located nearby. A VIP lounge for special guests is also being explored.

The focus of the club's design will be to create a highly social atmosphere. This will be achieved through the placement of

couches, booth seating, and a quieter lounge area located away from the dancing and music.

State­of­the­art sound and lighting will round off the club's environment. A RMS point­of­sale system will be put into

place and will serve as a sales, labor, and liquor/inventory control system. This system will ensure an accurate, secure, and

efficient control over labor costs, as well as day to day inventory, thus minimizing the possibility of loss or theft.

MARKETING PLAN

Area Analysis

The geographic target market for this nightclub is all of Noble County, which includes the city of Cliff and many others.

Current population of the county is over 680,000 people, 26% of whom fall into the proposed age demographic (21 to 35)

for the club. This number is expected to rise significantly over the next decade.

Cliff, the city in which the proposed club will reside, is Noble County's largest city, accounting for 28% of the total

population, and the third largest city in the state. The 51­square­mile city has been nationally recognized for its

outstanding quality of living in national consumer magazines.

There are several contributing factors behind the emergence of the downtown area of Cliff. The $70 million

redevelopment of the University of Waters Cliff campus has been the largest stimulus for economic growth in the area to

date. Various other projects, including a multiplex theater, shopping center, marina, numerous restaurants, and

residential housing, have been proposed or are currently in development. Growth in the area is also attributable to the

expansion or relocation of major corporations representing the computer, sportswear, and aircraft production industries.

Many of these companies have created new, higher­technology jobs in the areas that have welcomed in a younger and

more affluent workforce.

Cliff was chosen as the location for the new club for several reasons. First, the city is an emerging market with lower real

estate rates and at the same time high levels of commercial development. Second, Cliff lacks direct competition from

other dance clubs. The next major city, which is over 45 minutes away from downtown Cliff, maintains a highly

competitive nighttime entertainment market yet poses little threat to the development of a Cliff dance club.

Site Analysis

The proposed location for the venue is at 1039 Thurman Avenue on the first and second floors of the Pfeiffer Building.

Thurman Avenue is the downtown area's primary commercial business street, and has excellent freeway and back street

access. The club would occupy approximately 7,300 square feet (5,500 downstairs and 1,800 upstairs) of the building. This

location is centrally located to many existing and proposed attractions in downtown Cliff. Its second­story addition

provides for an excellent nighttime view of parts of the city and the Mark Anthony Waterway.

The site and the proposed club are a perfect fit. The Pfeiffer Building is the creation of its current owner, a prominent local

developer responsible for downtown's newest office complex, the Maximus Building. His experience with renovation of

historic buildings will facilitate the development of the nightclub. Additionally, the Pfeiffer Building resides in one of

downtown Cliff's busiest intersections with access to the city's major interstate freeways. Plans for the building include

installation of high­speed Internet connections in an effort to attract technology companies. Thus far, a technology firm as

well as a local recruiting company already have agreed to lease space.

Target Market & Demographics

The primary target market for this venue is the age group of 21 to 35. Market research indicates that the demand for a new

dance club in Cliff among this demographic is very high. Most are tired of the existing scene and are looking for a local

place to dance, meet people, and have a good time. Currently, high­energy dance clubs are only found in the next largest

city, but the 45­minute drive north discourages much of Noble County's market from frequenting these venues. This,

coupled with the tremendous current and forecasted growth throughout the region, indicates that the time is perfect for

such a venture in Cliff.

The market research study included men and women within the target market that do, or would, support the downtown

Cliff nightclub entertainment industry. The most common responses and comments regarding existing venues in the area

were:

Not enough room to dance

Tired of the existing sports bar/tavern atmosphere

Existing venues play the same music every night; no variety

Low quality light and sound

Lack of energy and excitement; too low key

Therefore, the venue being proposed will address all of these concerns. It will maintain a heavy focus on dancing—offering

the largest dance floor in the downtown area—and will offer a high­energy, very social atmosphere for the prospective

market. The interior will be designed with an upscale decor and the lighting and sound will drive the ambience. Most of

all, the music will be consistent, but not played out. DJs will be responsible for playing a variety of music our patrons like,

from Top 40 to remixed techno to hits from the 1970s and 1980s.

Demographic data obtained from Noble County's web site demonstrates that the region contains over 175,000 individuals

within our target market, 26% of the total population. Estimates indicate an expected 3­4% annual growth over the next

10 years.

Promotions

Promotional efforts are critical to the proposed club's success. Accordingly, the venue will offer nightly, weekly, and

monthly promotional specials. These promotions will help to stimulate excitement for the new club, thus leading to high

traffic and exposure. The main idea is to offer a new entertainment experience night after night. This is the key ingredient

for success and profitability, as well as longevity, in the nightclub industry. Proposals include:

Prize giveaways

Nightly dance floor and stage contests

Cooperative promotions with local radio stations

Entertainment will be provided by charismatic disc jockeys featuring a blend of current Top 40 and dance music. During

the week, special theme nights and promotions will be used to attract a more diverse crowd, and to increase the number

of customers who frequent the dance club. These theme nights will change as popularity and demand dictate.

The market will be targeted and reached via the following primary vehicles: advertisements in local print media,

strategically broadcast radio spots, and an Internet web site. Advertisements printed in the local and college newspapers,

as well as broadcasts over the local radio stations will provide exciting club information on current promotions and

specials. A more "grass roots" marketing campaign also will be employed. This includes club representatives and

spokespersons attending area events, postering of college campuses, a "prize patrol" van, and other person­to­person

marketing efforts.

Competition

The new nightclub will meet a demand in the Cliff area that is not currently being served. We will provide a high quality,

energetic nightclub while maintaining a safe, secure atmosphere for guests to enjoy themselves and the surroundings.

Providing a safe nightclub is essential to maintaining customer loyalty and growth. Therefore, security at the new club will

be top priority.

Currently, nighttime competition in the area is limited to mostly bar/tavern facilities including McArthur's, Lucky Six,

Jubilee, The Harbor, and Westside Elite. Only Jubilee and The Harbor offer large­scale dancing facilities. The proposed

club will be the largest dance facility in the downtown area. While the proposed club will be in direct competition with

these other facilities, it also will attract a different clientele of individuals seeking a superior dance venue which can

currently only be found in the next largest city in the state, 45 minutes away.

Our review of the market concludes that there are four entertainment venues that can be considered direct competition to

the proposed new venue. We do realize that the proposed venue will also compete indirectly for every entertainment

dollar spent in the Cliff area.

MANAGEMENT PLAN

Ed Tiller will fulfill the role of Owner/Operating Partner of this venture. He is currently the president of XTZ. Mr. Tiller's

residential construction. His fields of expertise will be utilized in this venture via his direct responsibility for the overall

business management structure and personnel. Additionally, he will assume the public relations and marketing roles for

the club.

XTZ has contracted entertainment industry specialists, SVC Nightclub and Bar Services, Inc. Their involvement will exist

in several facets, most notably, through providing assistance in launching this nightclub venue. SVC has over 12 years of

experience in the nightclub industry and has assisted many first­time club operators in getting their proposed venues off

the ground successfully. SVC will assist in the development of the design, concept, and strategies of the new nightclub. SVC

is also a full­service advertising agency and will assist in all production and placement of all advertisement for the new

venue. In addition, they will assist in the hiring process of the management staff, disc jockeys, bartenders, waitresses, and

security staff. They will also provide educational services for management­level personnel who will be responsible for the

day to day operations of the club.

Interviews for a general manager, bar manager, and all other personnel will be conducted by Joe Sorge of SVC. Final

decisions for each position will be made by Mr. Tiller.

Revenues

The estimated revenues are based on a 350 capacity nightclub venue, with an average daily incoming traffic ranging from

approximately 225 to 325 guests Wednesday through Saturday. These forecasts are considered somewhat conservative

based on the size and scope of the market. Additionally, each guest is forecasted to spend an average of $8 to $13 on

beverages, depending on the night. The total door covers are less than the bar covers, due to special promotions and VIP

passes. Door cover charges are anticipated to be five dollars.
