(5) Market Research was conducted to know about the demand of the newly launched products of the enterprise like paper bags and cloth folders. This research was conducted through a discussion with different shopkeepers and retailers. It was also a means of market survey to hit the target group and save on time. Initially, a questionnaire was given to them and then a short oral interview was taken to know the response. Around 5-10 people, dealing in different businesses in different locations, were spoken to. 2 New Business Development Plan Template 2015 2. What were the results of your Market research? Please include how your market has changed and how you will adapt. Also who is going to buy your new product or service and why? (10) The results indicated Higher quality requirements from our products at reasonable prices because of other competitors in the market. The scope of sale is big due to huge demand for it. Our market has changed from focussing on retail shops to other shops and stores as the retailers already have bulk of paper bags in advance. We are focussing on reasonable prices with standard quality and To expand through new markets, in order to adapt. Certain grocery store shopkeepers, stationary dealers and medicine and drug dealers are willing to buy our products due to lower prices and eco-friendly nature of our products.(survey attached in the appendix) 3 New Business Development Plan Template 2015 Section D: Competitors and Competitive Advantage TOP TIP!

Prices offered by them vary from being very cheap to very expensive. 4. How are you going to be better than your competitors? Please consider your answer to Question 3 in this response The competitor analysis showed that some of our competitors hold a good reputation in the market. The main reason behind this is their marketing strategy. The publicity and advertisements by them help them in creating a good base in the market. To be better than our competitors we have to Be more innovative - Pamphlets & brochures being sent to people along with the daily newspaper will be a very innovative idea Products should be more durable. Provide a variety of options to their customers by bringing out variations in the colour scheme, type, and design, etc. of the product to give the customers a good choice. Door to door sales and putting up stalls in various localities will help us in increasing the sale of the product and also give us an advertising platform.

Your Strengths and Weaknesses are internal to your business and in the present. Your Opportunities and Threats are external to your business and in the future. 5. Complete the SWOT Analysis below. (5) Strengths – What are your strengths? E.g. We have a good reputation. Weaknesses – What are your weaknesses? - E.g. High transport cost to market Our entire team is a mix of experienced and fresh members. Our members are innovative in their approach. There is demand for our new products in the market. Our business enterprise has a good reputation. All are products are eco-friendly. There are meetings in regular intervals with brainstorming sessions while discussing plans. We have expanded our business through new markets in nearby areas. We have a loyal customer base- parent community to help us. Our team handles sales outside school premises, efficiently Our old products now seem to be repetitive and are no longer much in demand. We still have a long way to earn a big name for our enterprise. Due to other activities in school, at times there is chaos while managing things. Due to huge membership, every member cannot have a say in the decisions taken by top management. Opportunities – What opportunities do you have? E.g. Arrival of new farming technology. The new products are in demand in the new market. With sales reaching out to different localities, bigger profits opportunities have increased. Parent teacher meetings, exhibitions and other activities in the school increases chances for sales. We are expanding our business focussing on target groups. Threats – Does your business face any threats? E.g. More competitors enter the market. More competitors with similar business are in the market. We are able allocate a limited period of time for the business so business is not able to expand. Business may require greater funds in the future. Section F: Operational Plan 6. What steps will you take to develop your business? Think about the one-off tasks you need to do to start growing your business. E.g. first, we are going to source new suppliers. (5) 5 New Business Development Plan Template 2015 To keep the buyers enthusiastic about our products and to take a step ahead to develop our business, this time we have come up with a new product that is a folder. We believe that everybody needs to keep important documents in an organised manner and nothing can be better than a folder. Hence, we will be making cloth folders which are more durable and of good quality which is one elementary and coherent step that will attract buyers. These folders will be eco friendly and , hence, we keep in line with our basic motto of three Ps-Planet, People and Profit We will be targeting new areas and colonies this time so that we can sell our products to more number of people. To encourage our buyers to go for our products, we intend to introduce profitable schemes. For example, with every 2 folders, we will be providing them with a free pen. We shall continue selling saplings grown by the team members in their homes to spread the message of Go Green. 6 New Business Development Plan Template 2015 7.

Tell us about your 4 P’s (Product, Price, Place, Promotion). (10) a) Product – What is your product? Are you changing your product? Our main product is cloth bags but we also grow saplings. However,this year we plan to make cloth folders.We believe that we need to concentrate both on the folders as well as the saplings.We also believe that we need to focus on specialisation.Specialisation always helps in many ways.Most important is that the more we produce a particular product,we can reap economies of scale of production. We also wish to add more varieties of bags.We have realised that sale of bags is losing its charm.People are not very keen on buying them.We have certain mimitations too. Hence,this year we have diversified.We are selling cloth folders .As of now,there is not much competition as most of the folders available in the market are plastic folders, ours is totally eco friendly made of cloth. b) Price – What price will you sell it at? Have you changed your pricing strategy? We have changed our pricing strategy.We have reduced the number of total cloth bags so the income earned on these bags has also subsequently decreased as the revenue earned from them did not give us a good profit to cover up our costs and pay wages to the ladies. We hope to earn good revenue from the cloth folders so we plan to produce quite a number of cloth folders. The cloth folders will be available in different sizes and varieties. We shall get a good market response because of our not very expensive and good quality folders. Moreover these are eco friendly. The saplings are also priced very economically priced just 30 INR .We aren’t investing much apart from the manure.The investment is human labour for students have to toil to do real gardening. c) Place – Where will you sell your product? Will you change where you sell your product? All events in the school-the Parent Teacher Meetings,the various events,exhibitions are places where we already sell our product.But we are tapping other venues too.Our students have been going to different colonies around the school and have been able to sell quite a number of bags. Moreover, other people who are not connected to the school also are aware about our business and about its social cause.People wantto try our other products so we plan to sell the folders in all these venues too. Our saplings are in collaboration with our ECO CLUB.Our Eco Club is very vibrant..It keeps putting up stalls in many places,nearby localities,parks etc..as part of their Green Campaign Initiative.So,we have many venues to sell these. d) Promotion – How will you promote your product? How will your reach your market more effectively? We intend to promote our product through Word of Mouth to the students, and guardians/parents visiting the school. This will be all the year round. The information will be shared in school notices and flyers, leaflets, banners. Our products would be sold during the Results Distribution Days, Diwali fete, Christmas Carnival, Annual Program and Parents Meetings. Special discounts, family 10 New Business Development Plan Template 2015 packs and offers during such programs will be also available. We will also use our school website and newsletter for advertising. We have a blog which has all details about the enterprise. Apart from all these , promotion of Product saplings will be carried out by distributing leaflets which will have all the benefits of medicinal plants…This will not only be a good promotional campaign but will also add to the knowledge of our customers. 11 New Business Development Plan Template 2015 Section H: People, Profit, Planet 10.How does your business meet the People, Profit and Planet criteria? Please give an example for each criteria. Refer back to Question 7 in your Business Idea Template to help you. (6) People – How will your business further help your community? Nirmaan Enterprise works for a noble cause. We do not earn profits for ourselves but for the women engaged in our enterprise. Money that we get is given to the women involved in the enterprise. These women are not economically sound, thus, we help them to earn money for their livelihood. This practice will continue and we shall keep giving them employment opportunities... Profit – How are you going to increase your profits? Selling saplings has increased our profits. Now, we are focusing on paper folders and are introducing many more new things, for example-more variety of plants, pencil pouches, new designs in bags and ,of course, new ways of selling our products. This is, certainly, going to increase profits in our enterprise. Planet – How will your business benefit the planet and be more environmentally friendly? We have been promoting eco friendly things - we shall continue promoting the use of cloth bags instead of polybags. We have been selling saplings grown from our own nursery. We have, in fact, created a nursery for this purpose which means we have created a special green patch in our school. Our paper folders are also one way of spreading the message of `Go Green`. Section I: Financing Strategy 11. How much money do you have to re-invest in your business? Do you need to raise additional capital to develop your business? If so, how will you raise this money? (10) Refer back to Question 8 in your Business Idea Template to help you. We have a decent profit of approximately Rs.20,000 from our enterprise. Even after ploughing enough into buying material for the bags and folders that we intend making, a part can be used for the maintenance of our nursery, especially, using the expert advice of professionals. Moreover, this year the cloth for making the bags as well as folders is being collected from the staff members of our school. We are collecting sarees for this purpose.We have got an impressive number of good silk sarees which have already been given to the women to make the bags and folders…also the waste cardboard from old registers, books, bed sheet packing has been planned to be collected from students only. Hence, most part of the profits can be used to develop the garden. So raising money for the development of our school business is not a challenge… Section J: Financial Management 12. What is your method of record-keeping and how are you going to improve your financial management processes? (5) E.g. We use a spreadsheet. We aim to update our accounts on a weekly basis. Here are two examples…It looks to be a monthly affair but it is more or less a fortnightly affair…Moreover, this is the work of a very junior student who has just learnt to keep records.(record attached in the appendix) 12 New Business Development Plan Template 2015 Section K: Sustainability and Business Development 13. How will you keep your business running after this school year? E.g. We will mentor new students and pass the business onto them. (5) We always mentor new students. This year, we even have an advisory board…The advisory board is the think-tank of the Enterprise. They come up with ideas which are then implemented. The year we started, we had students who toiled hard to make it a real force to reckon with. Two girls from the founder members- Shivangi Arora & Tanya Gupta, who shall join university this year, are still attached to the enterprise as mentors.We have Rohan Garg & Shambhavi Prabhakar as mentors ( still in school ).By inducting new members, we are creating new entrepreneurs every year. The mentors are torch bearers who explain the working and other aspects to the new members and keep devising novel and innovative ways and methods to improve our business. 14. Where do you see the business in 5 years? E.g. We will grow our product range to include other vegetables and we will expand our market by selling our products in 3 new districts.(5) In five years, we see our business registered as a small scale industry with the Department of Industries, Delhi. We also see more of green patches in and around our school neighbourhood.

They are complementary goods. Although we will sell them separately. iv) Imputed cost is not taken into account while calculating profit as it is not an explicit cost. It is only the opportunity cost . v) Cloth scrap is available from boutiques and tailors free of cost. Also seeds and other resources are already available from the school garden. vi) Sewing machine, electric iron directly given as donations in the first year itself. Scissors were bought in the very first year. Therefore, no depreciation is charged on these items. Axe, sickle and other equipments are already there for the school garden. vii) Costs are subject to vary with the quality of material and price changes due to inflation.
