Having accessories to make your interaction with the wii more fun and having help tips to help gamers complete their quest to complete their games. As a corporation, we would want to make sure that everyone who always wanted to get the wii to have one. Our mission statement is to make every customer satisfied like any other retail stores. We would want to go above and beyond the way any retail stores work by monitoring competitors and arrange the price of our products to make it satisfying to the market and to the customers. Sticking to our mission statement, we would have employees be trained to make every customer come back. Our business will be in a hierarchy from advertisers to sales person and up to assistant manager. To be in a high level job, you would need to have been graduated from high school and a degree in computers. Based on the hierarchy the higher the position the more responsibilities they would have. Our market would be in the entertainment. Our ideal customer would be children. Based on the ages of people who play video games, they are mostly children. Next to people who play video games, it would be teenagers. The price of the products will depend on how much my competitors are selling it, and the popularity of the product. An example would be the rating of the product, the higher the rating is, the more likely that the price would be raised. If the product have low ratings, then the product’s price will be most likely below the price the competitors are selling it for. My competition will be the world’s international retail store, like Walmart. There would be over 20 competitors because they would sell some similar products that could compete with my product. An example of products that could compete with my products, would be other electronic entertainment systems. My business will be opened from 9 A.M. to 10 P.M. It will be opened every day, except for holidays. During Black Friday, the store hours would be changed from 5 A.M. to 5 P.M. My financial plan would be stable. The net profit would be $ 1.55. The plan for my finance is to sell over five wii consoles, then sell over 15 video games, and over 3 accessories. This business will survive and not become one of the many business that go bankrupt in month because one, the product is still fresh (new), and many people like the wii. Second, the wii has many accessories that most stores would not sell, because they have other products to focus on. Page |4 General Company Description My business will be in selling the Wii. I will sell Wiis and their accessories. I will also have a membership for people who wants to have discounts on everything. I like to sell the Wii because it helps a lot of people. The Wii has many benefits, an example would be: making people happy, exercising, and having fun. My cousin owns a Wii and when we were playing it together, it made us closer to each other. My goal is to satisfy customers by having affordable prices on Wiis and other accessories. We go to other stores that sells Wiis and will try to lower our price to beat their price. Our friendly customer service will surely make you come back to buy things for the wii. The important things in my business are: to satisfy customers, have an affordable price but still have a profit, and making customers come back. Satisfied customers makes them tell other customers to come to my business. Having an affordable price makes more customers buy things at my store. I will market my products to people of all ages. The wii is used for many purposes for all ages. It can be used as a fitness exercise for old people. There are games for children and sport games for every age group. My industry would not be a growth industry because I will only sell the Wii and its accessories and I would not expand the store. The changes in the industry will be a short term if my product is very profitable and if my product is not profitable then changes will be a long term. My company will take advantage of the changes by gaining more profit. The factors that will make my company succeed are: satisfied customers, affordable price, good customer service, and quality products. My major competitive strength will be making affordable prices. The core competencies that I can offer to this business are: math and being nice. My math skills would help me do my business finances. Being nice makes good customer service because if you are mean, you will drive customers out of your store. My legal form of ownership is corporation. The positive side of corporation is that if someone sues, it won’t be me. Sole proprietorship is a bad thing because one person have to take up all the responsibilities. Partnership is also a bad thing because two people share a business and the profits. The negative side of Non-profit is that you do not receive any profit. Page |5 Products and Services The wii has a white thin box with a shiny surface. It is 6 inches wide and 8.5 inches long. On the front side of the Wii, it has three rectangle buttons. The first button is the power button. The second button is the restart button. The third button is the open button that allows you to get the video game CD from the inside of the Wii. On the same side of the Wii, it has a slot to put in the video game CD. On top of the Wii, there are USB slots to put in the accessories of the Wii. An accessory of the Wii is the Wii remote. It looks like one of the digital converter remote control except it is thinner. On the front of the Wii remote there are several buttons and on the bottom of the remote there is a square button. Another accessory is the nun-chuck. On top of the nun-chuck, there is a joystick for movement. The nunchuck is usually connected to the Wii remote by a white cord. The nun-chuck’s shape looks like a fat banana. The color of the Wii game system, wii remote, and the nun-chuck is ghost white. The wii wheel is shaped as a regular car driving wheel. The color is white and in the center of the wii wheel, there is a wii remote attached to it. Dual Glow Sabers for Nintendo Wii looks like one of those light sabers from any Star Wars movie. The wii zapper looks like a Sci- Fi gun .The color of the Nyko- Perfect shot is white. The color of the wii zapper is white. The Nyko- Perfect shot looks like a handgun. The cover of the handle is blue and the trigger is blue. The whole color of the Nyko- Perfect shot is white. The front side of the barrel is light orange. The nerf sports pack consist of a mini tennis racket, golf club and a baseball bat. The handle of each equipment is light blue. The main color of each accessory is white. The neo-fit looks like a weight machine but the outer lines look like the outer line of a stamp. There is a motion sensor that is added to the Wii Station. It is a thin shape rectangle that can be attached on top of any television. The factors of my competitive advantage is that I have cousins who loves the wii and I can have them spread the word about my great store around to their friends. My store will only focus on one product and its accessories. An advantage for my store is that I might be the only store that sell the Wii. There has been shortages of Wiis in other stores so when my store opens it will bring many consumers to my store to buy wiis. A disadvantage factor is that not many people will know about my store because it is new. Another factor of a disadvantage is there might be no consumers who are willing to buy the Wii because of the bad economy. The pricing for the Wii will be the same as the other stores. The price will be $249.99 and some of the accessories will be between twenty to sixty dollars. The games will be from ten to thirty dollars. Here are some of my products: Page |6 Page |7 Marketing Plan Market research - Why? A market research can save you from wasting money. If you open a business and you didn't do your market research it can have an effect on your business because if customers do not like the product or service you are selling than your business will fail. If you do a market research like a survey, and you ask people about your service/ product, and if people like it, then you can open your business. Market research can show which location is best for you. For my research, most people lived in 89142, so I would start a business in the 89142 area. A positive side of market research can be the age group that likes your product. If people who has the same age likes the product than that would be your target audience. Market research - How? For my primary research I did a survey. There was eight questions in my survey. The questions were related to customer service and price. I gave my survey to twenty- five people. I asked people during class, during lunch, and at home. Most of the people who did my survey were fourteen and fifteen. The majority of the people who took my survey was male. The zip code 89142 was where most people lived. Some people said that my questions was a little bit confusing. Overall, people said that if I do my business it will be okay. For my secondary research, I research the internet for research market for the wii. There was one website called Game Pro that said: “Research firm names Wii the next-generation winner through 2008.” They say that the wii will be sold more than the Xbox 360 and the Play Station 3 in 2008. Economics The total size of my market is 61,661,470 people. The target size that I calculated for my market was from the age to five to nineteen years. I used the U.S. Census Bureau. The national number of people from age five to nine years is 19,709,887. The number for ten to fourteen year old is 20,627,397, and the number for fifteen to nineteen is 21,324,186. I used the U.S. Census Bureau excel from July 1, 2000, to 2006. I used the information for July 1, 2006 for both sexes. For the total size market in Nevada would be 504,969. The total age in Nevada that would buy the wii would be five to twenty-four. The reason why I thought that the age five to twenty-four would buy the wii because the age group would still play video games to waste time. I would not choose the age from twenty-six and up because that age group is worried about getting a job, being married and financial problems. Age five to twenty-four might still live with their parent’s house and if their children want something the parents might get it. Page |8 The percentage of the market I will have would be about two percent. The reason why is that there are major retail stores that sells the wii. The major retail stores that I could think of would be: Walmart, Target, Sam’s Club, Costco, Gamestop, and Frys. These retail stores have a big reputation with the consumers because the consumers shop there to buy things. Walmart, Target, Sam’s Club, Costco, Gamestop, and Frys have been around a long time that customers would naturally go to buy their stuff from these stores. An example, would be, if you needed a present for someone, some people would think, straight away, that they should go to Walmart. The current demand for the wii is up. On ebay, the current demand for the wii is greater than the Xbox 360 and the Playstation3. The internet page is: http://www.trendrr.com/timeseries/Demand_for_Wii_products_is_major_Numb er_of_current_auctions_on_E__379423. Another source that says that the demand is high for the Wii is: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/322001_wiidemand02.html. It says that there is over two point eight million wiis sold in the United States. The barriers for my business would be customer acceptance, brand recognition, high production costs, high capital costs, change in technology, and high marketing costs. There are many ways to overcome these barriers. I could add a bonus on the purchase of the wii, like a video game that is unpopular. I could jack up the price on the Wii really high for a week, and announce that there is a sale on the wii, and the sale price would be a couple of dollars down than other retail price. The change in technology will greatly affect my business. The reason why the change in technology will greatly affect my business is because there will be a newer game station in the future that has features better than the wii and then the demand for the Wii will go down. When the demand for the Wii go down, then there will be not enough profit to be made. The change in government regulations could also affect my business. The reason why is that the Wii is made in other countries like Japan, and if the government bans any trade with other countries that makes the Wii for some reason, like there is lead in the wii or there is some problems of how other countries test the wii if it is safe, then I will have no supply for demand. The change in the economy will affect my business because, if the economy is turning bad, then the consumers will be careful on what to buy. Consumers will be deciding what to buy that will be a need and not a want, and the Wii is not a need, it is just a want for most people. The change in industry could Page |9 have an effect on my business. If the industry can’t make enough wiis then, there it would not meet the demand of the consumers. Product The products that I would sell, are: the Wii console, accessories for the Wii, and knowledge of the Wii. Features and Benefits The important feature about the Wii, is that it is gives you movement in the game. Another important feature about the Wii is that it gives customers extra fun features than other entertainment products. The wii console gives customers entertainment and sometimes it can give them enough fun to forget the bad things in their life. The accessories makes the wii more exciting. Customers The typical type of customer for my business would be someone who could be a mother, teenager, and family. A mother would probably have kids and would like to make her children happy. The age the mother would be is from twenty to forty-two. Most of the time adults don’t usually play the wii, only children do. The mother would have to have a job to support her family, and she would probably work five days a week because the games for the wii could cost a lot and she must have a lot of money to buy wii games for her children. The typical car that she would drive would be a car that could support weight for everyday items and have luxury. The food that she might eat would be food that is sometimes homemade but mostly store bought on her work days. If she is divorced, she might not have time to cook for her children. On her days off, she would spend a little bit of time to play the games with her kids, and most of the time she would be cooking at home to feed the family.

X S S S 5 Sales Method The products that could compete with me would be, PlayStation 1,2,3, PSP, computers, Xbox, Nintendo DS, and Xbox 360. The companies that would compete against me, would be: Target, GameStop, Walmart, Fys, Sam’s Club, Direct Buy, Kmart, Circuit City, Bestbuy, and Toy R US. The major competitors are: Target, Bestbuy, Walmart, and Gamestop. These competitors would only compete with me with certain products, and in certain locations. I think that my important indirect competitors would be against arcade stores. The product can be compared to competition by having the best price, or quality than the other business’s products. P a g e | 14 Niche My niche would be families, because children would want to buy video games and their parents would buy it. The age group of the children could be from ages eight to fifteen, and they would most likely be guys, because not everybody who buys the wii would be girls because they would be busy buying clothes, makeup, teen magazines, and etc. Then they would buy the wii console around celebrations or rewards because people would buy video games for celebrations, like Christmas, or if the person that they are getting the video game did something good. Strategy The first thing that I would do is to find a location for my business that will attract people to come into my store. Then when I open my business, I would put an ad in the newspaper with the prices of my products or put it on advertisement on the internet or popular websites like Yahoo. This will allow people to knw that there is a store that sells Wii consoles, other accessories, and what the price is. In my business there will be a Wii for people to try out the wii. If people are coming and buying Wii games, I would make up a membership program that would help people get discounts, and knowledge on cheat codes, and when new games would come out. The membership program would require the consumers to pay a monthly fee. If the business goes well, then I would require people to have a membership card before entering my store. When the business is not going well, because people refuse to go to my store to get a membership card, then I would change the store to say that everyone is welcome. On holidays, like Black Friday or Christmas, I would boost the price up a week before the holiday, and on the holiday, I would bump the price down to the original price minus ten dollars. After the holidays I would bump the price to the original price. If there are some accessories for the wii, and video games that aren’t being bought, then I would make a sale on certain items to make customers buy it. Before I produce a video game or an accessory, I would check online the prices of my competitors are selling it for. After that, I would put the video game or the accessory out and sell it the same price that my competitors are selling it for. If the membership program does not go on really well, then I would put in another incentive to P a g e | 15 bring in more people to apply for the membership program. An incentive could be a chat online system for people who are in the membership program to talk to each other or free demo games every month. Promotion To promote my business I would put ads on the internet, billboards, and taxi’s, events, and concerts. The kind of media would be when I have good prices on a product, and when the products are popular. I would use the media every Black Friday, because then my store would have great prices compared to my competitors on Black Friday. I would use this mix because this is likely the most effective method. A low-cost method for my promotional budget would be doing a free interview with the news on Black Friday. Other methods rather than paid advertising would be telling friends about my business and spreading influence other than people watching ads about the business on television. The image that I would want is that I have the best price for the Wii console, accessories, and its games. I want the customers to see me as the first store that they can go to look at the prices of the Wii and its accessories. For my graphic image, I would have a business card since it would be much cheaper and smaller to fit into a customer’s wallet. Mr. H’s Wii World To make sure that I know if I have a repeated customer, I would have a system that would contact them. I would want to make sure that my business care about them and show that I want them back. P a g e | 16 Promotional Budget I would spend about 5% of my budget for my promotional budget. I would spend 2.5% of my promotional budget for the grand opening. After that, I would only spend the other 2.5% for major holidays. Pricing My prices with the competitors is a little bit lower, because I want to attract customers and steal other business’s customers. If I had my price higher than the competitors than it would not attract many customers, so I would rather have my price lower than the competitor’s price. Price is very important and customers make their purchase decisions on price. An example would be gas. When the gas was at three dollars, many people chose not to drive their cars and instead, they would ride their bikes to work or they would car pool. The credit policy is that if their product has a problem then they would have a 7-day money back. The customer service would be friendly and have full knowledge of what the wii is. Proposed Location Location of my business, would be very important to the customer. The reason is that almost every business is selling the Wii for at least $249. The location matters because all the stores are selling the Wii at the same price, so if the Wii store is closer to their home then they would go there because they do not care to drive to a distant Wii store that is selling for a dollar less. There would be parking in my business because the Wii is still a popular product and I would want the customers to park where my business is. If there is no parking lot for my business, then people would park at another store that might have the same product. That could lead them to shop at that store. So, I would have the parking lot to make sure the customers would go buy my products instead of my competitors. There would be interior space because I would have to showcase my products to have the customers look at it and decide to buy it. My location would be convenient to families, like near Target, sicne there are a lot of businesses that sells the Wii. If my location would be convenient to families, then they would go to my business because they would not want to go to other business even if other business have the same price as my product so they would not have to go to a far away business even if they have the same price as mine. There would be another way because if drivers see that my business have lots of customers, then they would think that my business would be popular so they would come to my store. P a g e | 17 The location that I have come up with for my store will be next to a retail store like Target. It would make a lot of people see the store because Target is a big corporation and it would save them gas if they want to go to a store that sells things for the wii. They could go to my store instead of going several miles to a games store. I would think that the customers would not expect that they would see a Wii store near Target. The reason why would be that a Wii store would usually be in a mall, like GameStop. Customers would probably want to have all the stores have products that they need in the same store. The customers would think that it would be a good idea for a store that sells the Wii next to a store that sells everyday things. (an example would be a Wii store next to Target) The location of my competition would be located near family homes because most of their products that they sell are for families. It would be better for my business to be near my competitors so that I can save money on advertising. If my business is next to my competitor, this leads to selling a lot of stuff and that would include the Wii. They would see my business and would want to see my business first if they are shopping for the Wii since my business is focus on only one product. Distribution Channels The distribution channels would be online and in store. My web address would by, www.wiirulesbyh.com and my mail order would by 6468 Za Zu Pitts Ave. NV, 89122. On the website there would be prices on products and they could buy it. The delivery would by a week from your purchase. There would be news about the wii ( an example could be a next generation of the wii). The type of store that I have is a wholesale store, since I buy things from the manufacturers.

If any of my products are delayed before it arrives to my store, this would mean there could be only ten or less of the same product which would then mean I would have to raise the price until I can get more. Location The location must have a good view for cars to see the store and must have trees. It must also be a one story building. The location must have a low crime rate. The amount of space would be 1,000 feet sq. There is only one way to go to the store and one way out and they are located at the front of the store. My location of Mr. H's Wii World store must be convenient for transportation because not a lot of people will go buy the wii so there would be no need to be near the supplier. For disabled people I would have an easy walk-in access so that it would allow people who lives near my business to go buy stuff from my business. The parking rules would be that it would be a two-hour parking and is only for customers. The proximity requirements of my business for transportation would be far away. My business hours would be from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Here is a basic layout, of my store. Exit Aisles for products Customer Service Center Entrance P a g e | 21 Legal Environment For my business I would need an insurance coverage, licensing requirements, and building code. I need permits to have a license to sell electronics. I also need an insurance coverage for any robberies or fires. I will also make sure the building code is up to code. Personnel There would be about thirteen employees. The type of jobs in my store would be: assistant manager, salesperson, and cashiers. To find the right employees I will be asking questions about their experience in business and may ask about their history. The place where I would be talking to them could be at a restaurant. Assistant manager gets about $165. A salesperson gets $16.75. Cashiers receives about seventeen dollars. To get the assistant manager job, he/she must have a couple years of managing and have good leadership. A salesperson, must be able to “know the customer” and have good manners. A cashier must know basic math. Here is what each person with that job, must do. An assistant manager must make sure that everything is in good order and must be able to deal with customer complaints. The salesperson will be helping customers on knowing the product. The cashiers will be dealing with the pricing of the product and know how to deal with money. There would be schedules of the work days and how much each employee would do. Inventory The type of inventory would be finished goods. The average value of my stock would be around $2300. P a g e | 22 Suppliers The place that I will buy the products would be from Winkeen Technology Company. They are located in the mainland of China. Their history says that they have been open around 1995. They have markets in several countries. If my supplier was bankrupt or has stopped production of the Wii, I would have already have a backup supplier. During my business I would expect some delivery problems since my supplier is in China. The cost of the products will fluctuate and to deal with this problem, I would raise the price of my products, to keep it from going out of stock. Credit Policies My business will have a credit policies since most people would not carry alot of cash to pay for the products. The limit of my credit policy would be $260. To find out if my customers can apply for my credit policy, I would check their credit history. In my credit policy, they must pay the price of the product in three days. Even though they have a credit policy with my business, they would not have a discount on products. Managing Your Accounts Receivable This is a chart, if my customers are going to pay monthly. My policy on slow customers if they don't pay up the price would be making three phone calls every month, if they still don't pay then I will send them a letter. If they don't pay after the week, I sent the letter, I would get my attorneys to make threats to them. Total Accounts Receivable Aging Current 30 Days 260 265 60 Days 275 90 Days Over 90 Days 290 Managing Your Accounts Payable To manage my accounts payable, I would pay them every time, they send me a letter, if there is any chance, I would ask my suppliers, if I could get a discount. 310 P a g e | 23 Management and Organization The general manager and my assistant manager, would manage the business on a day-to-day basis. The person must have experience on how to manage the business for a couple of years. There would be a plan if the person was lost or incapacitated. General Manager Asst. Manager Salesperson Cashier Salesperson Cashier Asst. Manager Salesperson Salesperson Cashier Salesperson Cashier Professional and Advisory Support For my professional and advisory support, I would have an attorney, an accountant, Mr. Arfuso, my dad, and an insurance agent. For my accountant, I would choose Nicky as my accountant. For my attorney, it would be someone who fits in my budget price. My insurance agent will be from Jade Insurance.
