Business Summary
Hours of operation:
Monday -Sunday: 9am -5pm
Location:
Main Boulevard
Items sold:
Baked goods
Workers:
3 workers will be hired
Problem Statement
People living alongside the Main Boulevard get their baked goods from the bakery section of the XMART hypermarket, which lacks variety and freshness. Moreover, most common products are usually out-of-stock because of the high demand.
Objective
Our main objective is to set up a bakery for the ease and convenience of our community people. Also,
- To provide freshly baked comfort food.
- Create such an outlet that provides our consumers with a wide variety of baked goods.
- Gain profitability within the first couple of years and start strategizing about expanding the business.
Location
The main Boulevard is a very lively and happening place at lunch hours and in the morning. There are a few offices, and universities within a walking distance. Renting a shop in such a location is a bit costly. Shop number 6 is a 3,500 square feet shop and currently, there is a working kitchen in the shop, but a little remodeling needs to be done. There are usually a lot of activities being held at this place, attracting hundreds of people. The most wanted and demanded thing at a place, with such a footfall, is food.
Market Analysis
Bakery items have been the nutrition products for people for quite a long time. This is because of the convenience factor and product availability. Bread has been a staple morning breakfast of many national and international cuisines and shares the majority of the market share in the industry of bakery items.
Competitive Analysis
Currently, there is an XMART in the area where people buy their baked goods from. All the other bakeries are far from the Main Boulevard so XYZ will be the only bakery providing solely freshly goods within a radius of 10 miles.
Marketing
I plan to advertise in all mediums, print, Internet, social media, and Radio. I will print advertisements in all newspapers and magazines. Also, I will place ad banners on the internet to make people aware of our brand. Also,
- Website: Create a website about the XYZ bakery. Mention all the products that are being sold and all the running promotions.
- Social media pages: Create social media pages and advertise the products.
- Newspaper: Print ads in all the local community newspapers.
