BVN Industries Where the best quality, creates the best experience! Victoria Galvin Nisha Akalanana Brian Freeman Introduction Approximately four years ago the three of us were asked to take over this company. From there we went in rather blind with the industry. We were unsure of the economy, and with little experience in the industry of outdoor lighting and picture frames We weighed all our options and with great experience in marketing, management, and finance we decided it was a step we were willing to take. Introduction (cont.) We are happy to present our triumphs and realizations over the past four years. It was a learning and growing experience for all, but we truly believe you can not grow any further without learning as you go. We are pleased with where are company is ranked in comparison to its competition, and we would love the opportunity to share with you our journey. Marketing Victoria Galvin; CMO Overview When first starting out BVN Industries unanimously decided to focus on quality. While evaluating various companies who seem to use quality well, we finalized our decisions. We researched the top companies for product Quality quality. Apple Amazon Nordstrom Google Overview (cont.) Upon discussion we concluded that although quality may raise price, we assume consumers would be willing to pay the price for a product that would last longer. Some say higher customer satisfaction leads to higher customer loyalty, which in turn, will potentially lead to higher profits. Areas of Concentration Target Markets- Tri-state Marketing Strategies Advertising Research and Development Pricing Strategies Company’s Long Term Plans Customer Impact Target Market-Digital Photo Viewer We were looking to distribute the Digital Photo Viewer to consumers between the ages of 16-20 and 25-40. We figured ages 16-20 are around the age to starting making their own money, while also being interested in technology, and would be interested in buying our product. The majority of consumers in the 25-40 range have now bought their own home, and have probably started to have their own family. This would give this age group more reason to have a product to display their family photos throughout their house, without having the bulky photo albums. Although these were our target markets, we also saw consumers in the ages above 40. Though not a huge market due to the technology, this age group were interested in having a display of their family photos. Target Market-Outdoor Light Fixture We wanted to focus on marketing our products to younger home owners. We thought with the younger home owners, they are likely to have kids as well host gatherings at their home. In this case you are more apt to be outside longer enjoying nice weather and so on. We wanted families who were going to be spending a lot of time outside, with the reasoning that they would need more light fixtures than the average house. Marketing Strategies In the following slide you will see we put most of our advertising dollars in web marketing. After much research we decided newspaper and magazines were a dying sector of marketing.

We will continue along doing a few ads in the magazine industry, while promoting ourselves mainly through web. We will be planning an expansion in Q17 to accommodate our company to make various products within each category. We will be making digital photo viewers of various sizes to meet the needs of the younger consumers. We will also be making different styles of lighting fixtures so our loyal consumers will be able to purchase an item that best fits their lifestyle. Along with WWW marketing, we will begin promoting at local home and garden shows with our light fixtures. As a company we have decided the popularity of these showcases will allow us to reach more of our target market. Customer Preference As a whole we wanted to focus our company on quality. I believe consumers wanted our products and were willing to pay the price due to our quality. With quality we are able to guarantee our product, and stand behind our product with great pride. Community Involvement We have recently partnered with Habitat for Humanity to give outdoor fixtures and lighting to the houses built within our community. We felt that this was important to give back to our community since they have helped us grow beyond what we could have imagined. In Quarter 20, after our expansion we have plans to join with Boys and Girls Club of America to give various young adults the opportunity to have a successful career.
