MARKET AND CLIENTS
Skill and implementation strategy
Our USP (unique selling proposition) which is our perspective of strategizing is being skillful at
what we do. Good customer service, and creating a pleasant environment for our customers will
be very crucial to implementing our business plan.
Customers
We have tried to envisage a situation where all and sundry that desire to look good to his best taste
or preference be satisfied. This entails the students and workers at the institution that is few
kilometer from the location of the enterprise, working class personnel in the town where the
enterprise is located, the travelers who stops by at the mart for some hours during a long journey
and as well for families living around who desire the best for their male family members. The
enterprise customers are expected to grow by 10% per annum.
Competitive Edge
There are other few number of salon around but they are located at the outskirt of town where it is
inaccessible to clients. More also, some of the enterprise existing before, happens to be a ‘unisex
saloon’ thereby not concentrating intently on the other cure vital services desired by men before
and after ‘service transactions’. Most importantly, most men in the business locality are reputable
workers in institutions and government parastals and therefore desire not to associate themselves
in the salon where ladies do their luxury ungrounded services. These men request to be given their
own services in a grounded atmosphere in order not to jeopardize their reputation by being attended
to in the same room with mere ladies who are their subjects.
Our business atmosphere will be a relaxing one where clients are highly attended to and pampered.
Free chilled can water will be served at the waiting room opposite to the services room with glass
door, air condition as they enter for service. Television and audio sets will be located in the waiting
room with well selected relaxed music and comedies for energizing the mind and body after and
during the day’s activities.
Also, needful products are displayed at the showcase room adjacent to the waiting room where
clients can purchase products needful for their after service upkeep at home. Most clients are

6
working class and have no time to go after these products they need to have for their ‘self service’
at home. Therefore, the enterprise through this medium reaches the expected needs of their clients.
SWOT ANALYSIS
 Strength:
We are for humanitarian services. We will have personalized services. Emphasis is laid on quality
of services and concentration on a niche market allows a potential high mark up. We have excellent
premises and new equipment, flexibility with employees and low running cost.
The employment of part-time workers will allow us to adjust to more enlarge services and output
in short term as required.
 Weakness:
A 30 – day credit services required on our products will be necessary to gain clients, but cash
purchase of equipments, machines and leasing charges means that the business needs external
finance in the early stages. This may reduce our daily working target and also meeting up with the
projected returns per annum.
 Opportunities:
According to our field survey and statistics collected, there will be influx of population into the
locality where the enterprise is based due to the establishment of tertiary5 institutions and
government set-ups around, due to this nature of set-ups, the population invariable will be more or
men of high caliber. Demand for our services therefore is expected to rise. Only one existing
service of this nature can be obtained but at an outskirt of the town and no personalized services
are available.
The premises and strategic position will allow for further expansion and possible outdoor
recreation centre. There is always demand among our worker-clients and students in the vicinity
for skillful entrepreneur worker experience placements on holiday work in this type of operation.
 Threats:
The strategic position may be taken over by the government for erection of structure or high tax
imposition due to the excellent nature of the place, marketing is the grounded experienced worker
of the enterprise and may be travelling overseas for workshop presentations due to the bodies he

7
is associated with. Competitors may enter the market because of the fast growing nature of the
environment.
MARKETING STRATEGY
The enterprise marketing strategy is a simple one satisfied clients are at best marketing tool. When
a client leaves our business premises with a new look, he is broadcasting our name and quality to
the public.
Most of our clients will be referrals from existing clients. The only physical advertising will be the
small few pages leaflets consisting of styles made by the business workers which is being given to
each customer as he leaves the premises.
No major advertising campaigns are anticipated except for the wall posters for our new prospective
customers. Our research has shown that word of mouth is the best advertising medium for this type
of business.
We will however, run specials throughout the month, and also ask clients for referral and reward
them with discounted or free services depending on the number of clients they bring. There will
be plans for lottery to offer free trip to Canada for new exhibition workshops that will be offered
for specific range o time say 2 months for a client with maximum number of referrals say 25
persons.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION
DURATION OF WORK TIME
The business will run daily at early hours of the day for those who may wish to shave up to look
good before going to work and throughout the day and even far into the night for those who wants
services after their day’s activities.
MARKETING/SELLING METHODOLOGY
The enterprise is at a strategic position along the major metro highway road and also located just
close to the mall where travellers stop-by for relaxation during a long journey. The constant
attention driven music and steady power with serene environment creates an attractive haven for
all who passes or stops by thereby making them desire our services even if when they do not budget
for it.
