Produce Farm Business Plan

Mixed Greens Salad Gardens, (MGSG), is a brand new company that caters to the unsatiated demand for high quality salad greens. A steady flow of customers is possible due to Eugene’s proximity. MGSG is a startup grower and distributor for exotic salad greens. MGSG is located near Blue River, Oregon. It serves the southern Willamette Valley. MGSG is a product-based firm whose goals are to exceed customer’s expectations, improve production efficiency by 10 percent per year, and, last but not least, develop a sustainable farming business that can sustain itself on cash flow.

Products

MGSG will sell a spring mix of salad field greens. These greens will include red leaf, radicchio mustard greens and chicory. These greens are grown for use in salad mixtures, purchased by the end consumer as well as by restaurants who then serve it to their patrons.

The Market

MGSG will target two distinct markets: individual customers and restaurants. Individual customers will purchase greens directly from MGSG at the Saturday and Tuesday Farmer’s markets. This segment is growing at 12% and has 12,000 potential customers. The second segment is local restaurants. This market, which has only 28 customers, is less popular but more in demand all year.

Competitive Edge

MGSG has two competitive edges that will help them maintain strong growth rates, increasing their market penetration. The first edge is quality. MGSG is proud of the high quality of their exotic salad greens. Greens that are not up to MGSG’s standards of quality will be rejected as they are not good enough and given to a not for profit food bank. MGSG’s second competitive edge is their flexibility. The entire farm has been set up to allow them to change crops or scale existing crops to meet demand. This is rare as most farms are unable change crops mid-year.

Management

Heidi Ponic is the MGSG’s leader. Heidi started her career in gardening while she worked at a greenhouse. Heidi began her career after college at a large grass seed firm. Heidi’s experience at the Willamette Seed Company was what made her determined to work in agriculture. Soon after her experience at Willamette Seed Company was over, she decided that Oregon State University’s Master Degree in Horticulture Program would be the best choice for her. Heidi received her Masters from Oregon State University, which gave her the skills and detail she needed to build her farm business.

Mopeds Rental Business Plan

A new and exciting business opportunity exists in Eugene, Oregon. University Mopeds will to rent mopeds to University of Oregon students, as well as anyone who would have a need for efficient, around-town transportation. This market is currently not covered by Eugene’s businesses.

A student can have their own transportation for the school year, but it costs slightly more than a monthly cell phone bill. Mopeds are more cost-effective than cars and have lower fuel consumption. You can also insure these vehicles at a cost of $30-50 per year.

The target market for this business would be the approximately 15,000 full-time students. Autzenfield is home to thousands of students who commute every day. Parking is difficult on campus and the bus has few options. This is where the economical moped comes into play.

Many students do not have the disposable income that it takes to purchase a moped, but they are in a position to pay $50 per month to rent one. University Mopeds would buy used mopeds from $400 to $700 and lease them out. In less than one year, the average moped could be paid off.

University Moped will attempt to reach 1% of full-time students in year one. This would equate to 150 mopeds rented. The 5-year growth rate should be no less than 15%.

University Mopeds may be profitable in year 2. If they purchase a bike at an average price of $550 and rent it for ten months at $50/month, then that is likely to make them profitable.

1.1 Objectives

Rent 150 units in the first year.
By year three, University Mopeds will be completely self-sufficient and financially viable.
Rent at most 199 units by the end of year three, and 263 by year five (15% annual rate of growth).

1.2 Mission

University Mopeds is the first company to service students. University Mopeds clients can rent quality transport at a fair price. University Mopeds will also be a profitable business which will treat employees fairly and provide financially for its owners.

1.3 Keys to Success

Customer service excellence and quality.
Affordable rental prices
Reaching your target market
Integrity in our customer service results in repeat customers

Bridal Gown Shop Business Plan

Recycled dreams is an Oregon-based retail rental shop for bridal dresses and accessories. Recycled Dreams, founded by Connie Jugal and run by her, will satisfy the unmet demand for formal wedding dress rentals rather than purchasing. Traditionally, wedding party members are required by the bride to buy their dresses. They have no say in what the dress will look like. They are advised exactly what type of dress they need. The dresses end up looking awful and are often left in the closet gathering dust for years. It is therefore very practical to provide people with the option of renting a dress in light of the fact that the dress will only be used once. This makes the event far more cost effective, yet just as fashionable. Now, you can rent tuxedos for men and bridesmaids dresses for women.

The Services

Recycled Dreams rents dresses, shoes, head pieces and veils. The dresses can also be purchased by the bride or other guests if desired. However most customers will be overjoyed with the option of renting these one time pieces of clothing. Recycled Dreams provides the opportunity for the wedding party to rent all of the clothing pieces and accessories. Additionally, Recycled Dreams has developed strategic partnerships with top local vendors such as caterers, invitations and photographers. Recycled Dreams offers a one-stop shopping solution for customers, where they can rent all necessary clothing and accessories. Recycled Dreams also receives a commission for referring other people, which provides additional revenue.

The Market and Competition

Recycled Dreams aims to target two distinct market segments. These are the parents and the spouses of the bride. Couples as a market segment is growing at 9% a year with 114,584 potential customers, and the parents of the couple have a 8% growth rate with over 112,000 possible customers.

Recycled dreams faces competition from traditional bridal shops who sell the products. Recycled Dreams views these as competitors but sees them more as indirect rivals. Recycled Dreams believes the renting of dresses is an extremely valuable service. Currently, there are no other bridal rental facilities in Portland. This is a new concept. It was tested in San Francisco with great success. Recycled Dreams is now offering it in Portland.

Competitive Edge

Recycled Dreams is able to offer two unique advantages that will help them rapidly expand their customer base as well as validate their concept. The first is the concept that brides’ bridal wear can be rented. This is similar to men’s tuxedos. Because the dresses are only worn once, this makes it intuitive. Although some might feel that there is a social stigma attached with women renting clothing, there is no way for anyone other than the renting customer to know that the dress that they are wearing is rented. Their outstanding customer service is their second competitive advantage. Recycled Dreams considers their role to be the one who holds the client’s hand, guides them through the event and meets all their requirements. This philosophy has been instilled throughout the company.

Management

Recycled Dreams is an innovative idea. However, it also has a veteran founder and manager to help guide the company towards profitability. Connie brings years of retail management expertise. She was the manager of multiple stores at the Salvation Army. Connie managed stores that saw growth of up to 46% per year. Connie will draw on her extensive industry experience to make Recycled Wishes a success.

Recycled Dreams is an exciting concept that acknowledges the fact that most bridal party dresses are not the prettiest creations, are quite expensive, and almost never worn after the intended wedding. Recycled Dreams will reach profitability by month 10 with healthy sales for year one and more than doubling by the end of year three.

1.1 Objectives

The objectives for the first three years of operation include:

To create a service-based organization whose primary goal it is to exceed customer’s expectations.
Superior service and increased clientele will allow us to increase our clients’ numbers by 20% per annum.
To develop a sustainable start-up business providing cost effective bridal dresses.

1.2 Mission

Recycled Dreams’ mission is to make wedding dresses and accessories affordable.

We are able to exceed customer expectations.

Retail Furniture Manufacturer Business Plan

The $12 billion furniture industry is in production and sales. The industry’s primary focus is on wealthy customers who can spend up to $3,000 on furniture. In Richmond, there are fifteen furniture stores that are competing for these customers with deep pockets.
