Marketing Strategy

As we're all aware, word of mouth is one of the most trusted forms of marketing. While being a very simple strategy, we

are sure this will be our most successful way of marketing. As individuals, we're already known locally for the good food

we prepare. We've even had so many people tell us we should start a catering service because they'd faithfully support.

We've even had people try our food (free) and offer to buy more! We also plan to market flyers throughout the city and

radio announcements to get the word out to an even larger audience.

Financial Plan

We project start up cost around $150,000. Our goal is to raise $100,000 through our FoodStart campaign. $40,000 will

be financed through an individual personal investor with the remaining $10,000 being raised by G.L.O. INC through car-

washes, bake sales and discount card fundraisers. This will give us the initial start up amount needed to secure the

location, electrical/maintenance servicing and interior design. We project first year sales to double our initial start up

cost with consistent profit increases in the years following.
