    13/44

    Star Event Management, although young, draws from the age-old tradition of goingabove and beyond what is expected, every time. Our systems for event planning havebeen drawn up, evaluated, practiced, worked, and reworked to ensure the maximumefficiency while minimizing the possibility of error. We employ local vendors who havethe same desire to be the best at what they do, while providing un-match able services.

    Thus, we give back to the community by providing jobs outside of our organization. Weencourage new and upcoming small businesses who provide a service within our needbase to step up to the challenge of being the best through their contract with Star EventManagement.

We care

    about the things that have meaning in the lives of our neighbors.

    Market Analysis summary

    The following sections describe the market segmentation, strategies, and industryanalysis

    Market segmentationThe breakdown of the market for event planning, falls in a wide, very diverse grouping.Individuals as well as organizations demand the services we provide. In order to providethe greatest depth of information, the market segments have been broken down intoprivate and public organizations, and age groups

    1. Private Organizations and BusinessesPrivate organizations make up the single largest portion of Star Event Management' clientbase. Private organizations such as businesses, corporations, and political parties host the

    most events on the largest scales, therefore, these events generate larger revenues perevent. The majority of larger scale holiday functions will fall under this segment.

    2. Public OrganizationsGovernment agencies host many events every year. Star Event Management hopes toalleviate the pressure of event planning for public employees. The second single largestsegment, the public sector, can save money and give back to its community at the sametime. These events are moderate in scale with middle to low revenues generated.

    13

  • 8/14/2019 Star Event Management

    14/44

    Emphasis is placed on the visibility of the event for public viewing. The majority oforganizational family functions will fall under this segment

    3. Age Breakdowns

    Under 24: Persons under the age of twenty-four (24) using an event planner are rare atbest. We hope to tap the early college graduates who have begun their professionalcareers but have not yet started their families. These events will focus mainly on themeswith moderate to high energy appeal. The revenues generated will range from moderateto high, depending on the event. The majority of weddings will fall into this segment.Ages 25-55: The persons that fall into this age group are employed, middle to upper-middle class families. The reason they choose event planners is they are too busy to do itthemselves. Therefore, Star Event Management will be on hand for questions, contactwill be moderate in length but occur regularly so as not to disturb the daily life of the

    families. These events will generate moderate revenues, with a few generating lowrevenues. The majority of special Star Event Management planning will occur in thismarket segment.

    Ages 56 and above: Persons over the age of 55 have reached the turning point of life.Many are retiring, others are celebrating anniversaries of significant years, and still othersare seeing that their children's special events are taken care of. These events will generatemoderate to high revenues depending upon the income level of the family (directcorrelation to social status). Most holiday parties, and other special Star EventManagement, such as wedding receptions and reunions, will occur in this market segment

    4. OtherThis segment has no direct information to compile for a description. It consists of anyevent planned that does not fit into one of the above categories.

    Target Market segment Strategy

    15

  • 8/14/2019 Star Event Management

    16/44

    Our target markets are middle to upper-middle class families, couples, individuals, orprivate and public organizations. We chose these groups because they are most able toafford event planners, and have the least amount of time to spare for event planning ingeneral. Families demand attention, employees are overburdened, and overwhelmingdetail needed to plan large events are too large a constraint to place on people not trained

    in the area of event planning.

    The fast pace of the world we live in leaves little time for extra things we would like todo, like plan events, parties, and social get-togethers. Star Event Managementfills theneed by being available to take on the burden of planning so that people can spend timeon more important things, like family and friends. The demand for this service can onlyincrease considering the rise in incomes, population, and need for interpersonal relationsin the workplace.

    Service Business Analysis

    Star Event Management is in a unique position of competition. We compete againsthotels with conference facilities, conference centers, other event planners both on thelarge and small scale, persons within an organization who are assigned the task oforganizing an event, and people who wish to organize their own events without thebenefit of assistance. The benefits and drawbacks of each of our competitors as comparedwith the services we offer are hardly a match in quality and price.

    Hotels and Conference Centers

    Strengths: On-site facilities, equipment, and support staff. Ability to transport and housepersons for overnight stays. Able to internalize costs of transportation and equipment.Weakness: Often very expensive, impersonal, rely on unskilled labor for support staff.The error rate is high due to high volume and traffic from other events happening at thesame time

    2. Other Event Planners

    Strengths: Have been in the market longer, have established a reputation and client base.Weakness: Reputation precedes them, no systems-based businesses designed to produceconsistent results; focus on smaller events, specialized events are main focused rather

    16

  • 8/14/2019 Star Event Management

    17/44

    than all events; do not have the supporting products to market with, or instead of, eventplanning services

    3. Employees or Persons wishing to do it themselves

    Strengths: Internalized cost of planning the event; able to add tiny personalized touchesthat have meaning within the group or family.Weakness: Consumes time that could be spent on other things; don't have access to thebest prices, services, and other needed resources available.

    Strategy and Implementation Summary

    Marketing and Competition

    We have discussed our client base as being predominately middle to upper-middle classindividuals, couples or families, public and private organizations. We must then look atthe needs of these markets and cater to them. We promise the same great results, everytime.

    When marketing to individuals, the idea of releasing them from the task, freeing theirtime for family and friends, and the promise of a worry-free event are the buzz words andconcepts. Our marketing is predominantly by word of mouth or visual connection to largeevents these individuals have participated in or worked at.

    When marketing to public or private organizations, the idea of greater efficiency for themoney and a professional event without error would be the key concept. Groups,especially large ones, do not wish to deal with problems that arise due to oversight ontheir part. If the guarantee of worry-free, error-free events is available at a cost benefit tothem, there really appears to be no better choice.

    Sales Strategy

    Star Event Management deals with a diverse market of clients. Within each marketsegment, closing of sales will differ. Each approach is described as follows.

    1. Private and Public OrganizationsSales will be concluded one to two days after the end of the event. A follow-upphone call will be placed informing the client of the total cost, number ofattendees, and information about the billing packet that will arrive at their offices.Feedback forms will be included in these packets to ensure the client is being

    17

  • 8/14/2019 Star Event Management

    18/44

    served as they deem appropriate. Form letter thank-yous will be sent followingeach event.

    2. Individuals

    Sales will be concluded with a follow-up phone call one to two days after theevent. The phone call will explain the total cost of the event, number of attendees,and information concerning the billing. Individual parties of any age group areplaced on a billing cycle. Invoices will be sent out the 25th of the month and willbe due the 10th of the following month. Feedback forms will be included in thesepackets to ensure the client is being served as they deem appropriate. Thank-youcards will follow each individual event.

    Sales Forecast

    By beginning on a smaller scale, Star Event Managementhas the foresight to grow at arapid pace to keep up with demand. We wish to maintain a steady rate of sales growth;however, we understand that sales of products and services will vary in different months.As noted in the graph and chart, rapid increases during the holiday season will boostsales, then allow that growth to level off at a steady rate

    Management Summary

    Information and expense details are presented in subtopics Organizational Structure andPersonnel Plan.

    Organizational Structure

    The management team within Star Event Managementwill be small in the beginning.The primary employee is the founder, who plans events, then contracts with caterers,decorators, disc jockeys, and bands to fill out the event. A contract labor site managerwill be on hand to work the events as a liaison and vendor coordinator. Thus, there are

    two main employees with various levels of vendors.

    When Star Event Managementreaches its expansion goals, each office will have one totwo event planners, an office assistant, two to three site managers for the events, and aproduct and marketing specialist. This team will function as one with constantcommunication through weekly staff meetings, email, and message boards. All jobs areinterrelated. The performance of one affects the performance of the others; therefore,each team member expects nothing but the best from each other.

    As it functions currently, we see no gaps in the management of this organization. ShouldStar Event Managementgrow beyond its estimated size, more positions in specializedareas will need to be added as well as additional site support and office assistance. To fillthese positions, Star Event Managementis looking for energetic, teachable, detail-oriented persons who want the potential to grow and improve their skills within theorganization. Star Event Managementwants to be the best; therefore, they will hire thosewho want to succeed.

    Personnel Plan

    The following table shows the estimated personnel needs forStar Event Management.

    Personnel Plan

    Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

    Event Specialist $36,000 $40,000 $42,000

    Site Manager $11,097 $13,750 $14,560

    Total People 0 0 0

    Total Payroll $56,044 $63,310 $66,560

    Financial Plan

    Service-based businesses require little funds to start-up, and as they grow and expand,less funds to maintain. The charts and graphs that follow will show that investment upfront allows Star Event Managementto function debt-free with little overhead. This givesStar Event Managementa quicker break-even point and increased profit margins from the

    start. As Star Event Managementgrows, the debt-free philosophy will be maintained untilit is impossible to function during growth periods without financial assistance.

    Important Assumptions

    22

    Projected Balance SheetStar Event Managementis set up for success. According to the numbers, we start out fair and end up amazing. ByFY2000, we will be worth over $125,000 with a profit margin of over 30%. We are operating with little to zero debt,

    boosting the net worth even higher. Our only weakness is the products to be released in FY2000 have not beenaccounted for as an investment of funds. This will effect the cash flow in a moderate way, and is undetermined how itwill effect the profit ratio of the business.
