Marketing Plan
Market Analysis
Target Market
The most critical step is to understand the customer’s needs and to satisfy
their wants. It is important to consider the geographic market area and the number of
potential customers. The potential customers are students within the campus aged 12-
18 years of old, teacher and other people in the campus. Since the location of the
business is only within the school campus, the price must be suitable to the customers.
The better the seller understands the potential customers, the better the chances of
success in meeting their needs more effectively than your competition.
Competitive Analysis
Understanding the competitor’s strengths and weaknesses is also one
factor in order to know how the product can be more interesting and appealing to the
customers than the competitors are offering. This includes the quality, uniqueness, and
the service of the business. The price must also be affordable than the competitor’s and
also to the public.
