[insert details of Company ’s founding, history, and development]
Goals/Objectives
Our mission here is to further expand our consumer base by developing mechanism that allows
individuals to place their orders via the World Wide Web. This is a practical marketing solution
that allows consumers who enjoy our products to access our inventory and order our products
online.
Market Potential/Target Demographic
Preliminary research revealed that there is a significant interest in this concept. Because all
orders will be shipped to consumers, the location of Company facilities has no significance in
this plan. The available consumer base consists of a wide range of national and international
end-users, including wedding and party planners, catering agencies, restaurants, schools,
sidewalk cafés, large institutions, as well as individual homes. Our research is based on
information collected by canvassing existing customers and from conducting consumer polls.
Research was also conducted on the following topics:
Staffing requirements
Equipment requirements
Materials and supplies
Packaging requirements
Costs associated with packaging and shipping the products
The best methods for shipping perishable products
