Page 5 Sigmund's Gourmet Pasta 4.0 Market Analysis Summary The market can be divided into three target markets, individuals, families and take-away business. Please see the next session for an intricate analysis of the different segments. Sigmund's expansion strategy is to further penetrate the existing markets by opening an additional store (or stores) in Eugene in 2002. This clustering approach enables Sigmund's Gourmet Pasta to increase brand awareness and improve operating and marketing efficiencies. For example: • Clustering allows Sigmund's to negotiate a fixed percentage contract with the food wholesalers. • Marketing expenditures can be spread over multiple revenue centers. This strategy reduces risks involved with opening new restaurants given that Sigmund's better understands the competitive conditions, consumer tastes, and spending patterns in the market. When the Eugene market is saturated with one or two additional stores, then Sigmund's intends to look at new markets. 4.1 Market Segmentation The market can be segmented into three target populations: • Individuals: people that dine in by themselves. • Families: a group of people, either friends or a group of non-nuclear relatives dining together. • Take away: people that prefer to eat Sigmund's food at another location. Sigmund's customers are hungry individuals between the ages of 25 and 50, making up 53% of Eugene (Eugene Chamber of Commerce). Age is not the most defined demographic of this customer base; all age groups enjoy pasta. The most defined characteristic of the target market is income. Gourmet pasta stores have been very successful in high rent, mixed-use urban areas, such as Northwest 23rd in Portland. These areas have a large day and night population consisting of business people and families who have household disposable incomes over $40,000. Combining several key demographic factors, Sigmund's arrives at a profile of the primary customer as follows: • Sophisticated families who live nearby. • Young professionals who work close to the location. • Shoppers who patronize the high rent stores.

Pasta sales are estimated to grow by at least 10% for the next five years. The big four, Pastabilities, PastaFresh, Pasta Works, and Pasta Perfect contribute $2 billion in combined 2000 revenues. The rest of the market is primarily made up of independent restaurants. Though the barrier to entry into the pasta market is low, due to insufficient capitalization, most entrants fail within their first six months. 4.2.1 Competition and Buying Patterns National Competition • Pastabilities. This restaurant offers consumers their choice of noodles, sauces, and ingredients, allowing the customer to assemble their dish as they wish. Food quality is average. • PastaFresh. This company has a limited selection but the dishes are assembled with high-quality ingredients. The price point is high, but the food is quite good. Page 7 Sigmund's Gourmet Pasta • Pasta Works. This company offers pasta that is reasonably fresh, reasonably innovative and at a lower price point. The company was sold a few years ago, and consequently the direction of management has been stagnant lately and has resulted in excessive employee turnover. • Perfect Pasta. This company had medium-priced pasta dishes that use average ingredients, no creativity, and less than average store atmosphere. Sigmund's is not sure how this company has been able to grow in size as their whole product is mediocre at best. Local Competition • (name omitted)- This is an upscale Italian restaurant that has a limited selection of pasta dishes. Although the selection is limited and pricey, the dishes are quite good. • (name omitted)- An Italian restaurant with a decent pasta selection, however quality is inconsistent. • (name omitted)- An upscale restaurant with a large wine selection and good salads. Everything else is mediocre at best and over-priced. Service can often be poor. 5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary Sigmund's will leverage their two competitive advantages, superior product and industry benchmarked customer service to build a loyal customer base. 5.1 Competitive Edge Sigmund's competitive edge is quite simple - superior product and superior service. • Product: the product will have the freshest ingredients including homemade pasta, imported cheeses, organic vegetables and top-shelf meats. The product will also be developed to enhance presentation, everything will be aesthetically pleasing. • Service: customer service will be the priority. All employees will ensure that the customers are having the most pleasant dining experience. All employees will go through an extensive training program and only experienced people will be hired. Page 8 Sigmund's Gourmet Pasta 5.2 Marketing Strategy Sigmund's Gourmet Pasta's advertising budget is very limited, so the advertising program is simple. Sigmund's will do direct mail, banner ads, and inserts, with inserts in the Register-Guard likely to be the most successful of the campaigns. Lastly, Sigmund's will leverage personal relationships to get an article about the opening of Sigmund's in the Register-Guard business section. Previously, friends who have had their restaurant featured in the Register-Guard have seen a dramatic increase of sales immediately after the article was published. 5.3 Sales Strategy The sales strategy will be to allow people to try the superior product and service for themselves. In essence, the product will speak for itself. The marketing campaign will attract people into Sigmund's and the sales strategy will be to let people experience Sigmund's, this will be sufficient to turn the person into a longterm customer. 5.3.1 Sales Forecast The first two months will be used to get the restaurant up and running. By month three things will get a bit busier. Sales will gradually increase with profitability being reached by the beginning of year two.
