Opportunity
Problem
It is difficult to find time to organize events, parties, or other social activities due the pace of modern life. With the increasing number of people and incomes, the demand for this service is only going to increase.
Solution
Occasionsis open to all. They offer their expertise and products for helping customers plan events. The Party Packs are complete kits that make it easy to host a party, from the food and drinks to the decorations. The event planning software brings interactive event planning as close as their personal computer. Through these and other affordable products and services, Occasions aims to be the number one resource for any event.
Market
The market for event planners is broken down into many distinct segments. Individuals, as well as organizations, demand the services we provide. We break down the market segments into private and public organisations, as well as age groups, in order to give the most detailed information.
Competition
Occasions finds itself in a unique situation of competition. Occasions competes against conference centers, hotels with conference facilities, other event planners on a large and small scale, individuals within an organisation who are given the task of organizing events, and those who want to organize their own events. The benefits and drawbacks of each of our competitors as compared with the services we offer are hardly a match in quality and price.
Why Us
Occasions has a primary purpose to be a service-oriented business. However, we also offer products which can help customers plan their event. Our customers get our expertise and contacts to plan their perfect party at their perfect price.
Expectations
Forecast
These rates are provided for information. These rates will not impact the loan burden. Occasions is hit the most (but not nearly as badly as other service-based businesses) by the 24% tax rate, which is nearly a quarter of the total sales. These numbers will become more of a reference than influence as Occasions grows.
