Citation preview
The Industry• Name and describe the market or industry that
you will work within—in other words, the chosen “sandbox” where you will play.
• For market or industry descriptions see the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) at www.census.gov/naics or industries at a glance at http://www.bls.gov/bls/industry.htm
• Talk about any trends and changes in the industry.
• Talk about whether the industry is growing and, if so, by how much.
The Product• Talk about the product or service that you will
sell.• Talk about what sets the product or service
apart from what is currently being sold to customers.
• Talk about any ways you can protect the product or service from being easily copied by the competition.
• Present any product pictures, drawings, or renderings you might have (on additional slides if necessary).
The Market• The idea for a market study is to tell the “story of the market”
in numbers starting with the big picture and then narrowing down the data to a more detailed view. Use as many slides as you need and don’t clutter the information.
• Talk specifically about where your customers are located. Are they within a city, county, state, region, nation, or international place? Maps are good to use here if it makes sense.
• Talk about the numbers of customers in the market and possibly even what they spend on your kind of products and services.
• Present any community profiles for these places. The Census Bureau is a great place to find such information at www.census.gov
• If you are targeting business customers look at the Economic Census at http://www.census.gov/econ/census02/ for help.
The Targeted Customers
• Talk about your targeted customers. Remember, you can segment customers by type, buying behavior, location, and so on.
• Describe who they are by discussing some of the following things: (use multiple slides if needed)– Demographics (characteristics they share in common)– Buying Behavior (how and why they buy the product) – Size (numbers of them / dollars they spend)– Projected Sales– Trends (growth / opportunities)
Target Market Strategy• For your targeted customers, talk about how you will
customize your marketing efforts to fit their needs.• Remember, if this group of customers is really unique
then something about your strategy must be different.• Talk about…
– The Message: What slogan or positioning statement will you use for this target market?
– The Pricing: Will the pricing have to be different for this type of customer? If so, what price will you charge?
– Product Customization: Will the product or service have to be customized for this customer?
– Distribution: Will the product get to this customer?
Target Market Sales Approach• Talk about your specific sales and promotional ideas
for this target market which might include:– Contact Sphere: What other businesses or professions might
naturally refer this group of customers to your business?– Advertising: What specific types of media will you use and at
what cost?– Public Relations: What kinds of media relations, press releases,
and events might you use to reach this group of customers?– Personal Selling: Do you require a sales force to reach this
group of customers? If so, how many and at what cost?– Sales Promotions: What kinds of sales tools might you use?
Discounts, coupons, loyalty programs?

• These measures might be leading indicators of such things as customers, growth, innovation, internal operations, or financial performance.– Example: “The Chamber of Commerce will measure five
metrics in determining our success: annual member engagement, member retention, net member growth, market penetration, and employee engagement.
– Example: “For our restaurant to be successful, we must closely measure four activities: reservations and table turns, food costs, staff turn-over rates, and total staffing costs.”
