Overall, the market view from different perspectives gives a positive image for the business entry of BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY. Both the fashion industry and the advertising industry show good conditions for this start-up company.

Location

BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY, located in the heart of  BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE REGION, has been attracting outstanding companies from all over the world for many years. A very good infrastructure thanks to the airport and modern public transport networks promotes the local economy. Many events, stage events, fairs and exhibitions, as well as an overall multicultural climate of life, led to the fact that many cultural institutions have settled there, and a high interest in cultural offers has formed in the population.

The availability of young, skilled and highly motivated workers, and well-equipped office space, as well as the good work of local institutions, are also location factors that have contributed to the ruling of the CEO’s decision to head office.

At the beginning, the premises of XXXX will serve as the company’s headquarters. Right in the neighborhood, there is a studio that can be rented for recordings and castings.

Competitive Examination

In the business environment of BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY, there are active companies which have a similar business focus. BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE LOCATION currently has X competitors. These are:

[CHART, DIAGRAM, IMAGE or TABLE REMOVED]

Since all these agencies have been established in the market for a long time, it is important to consider them in order to distinguish BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY from them, and thus be able to survive in the market.

This analysis has been done in advance and has led BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY to focus on “New Faces” and classic beauty ideals. This is partly because it has been determined that all agencies, with the exception of XXXX Models, focus on another market segment, the “People Models”. This means that the models traded there do not meet the requirements of fashion designers and top photographers. In terms of appearance, people models are more in line with the normal ideal of beauty and are not used in fashion shows for top brands. Due to their broad positioning, these agencies will not have the exclusivity factor of BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY for a long time.

From the modeling agency XXXX Models, the start-up company will differ  because it does not have the social factor. In addition, BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY will build a more engaging website that will be more inviting to both the customer and interested models than XXXX Models.

Overall, it is important to constantly rebalance the market and see what competitors are available.

Since orders are mostly placed by personal contacts, BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY will take care of the rapid development of a corresponding network and promising contacts. The open Brazilian style of the founder, BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE FOUNDER, will certainly come into its own and support this project.

With each successful order, it will be easier for the company to acquire additional customers. Since numerous projects can only be realized in cooperation with other agencies, it is important to work together only with the most competent and experienced companies, because each link in the production chain of a successful shoot contributes its elemental part to the success of the project.

Well-placed marketing, supported by partners and sponsors, is also essential for the agency’s full coverage and will provide a differentiation from other market participants.

In conclusion, the competitive situation of BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY can be considered positive due to the special offer and the well thought-out marketing strategy with a focus on exclusivity and reliability. While the company will have to come to terms with existing and eventually emerging competitors, excellent cooperation with partners and customers will enable market penetration to be satisfactorily achieved.

Risk Analysis

The main risk of market entry will be the non-acceptance of the agency in the industry. This can happen on the one hand by poorly executed first orders; on the other hand by bad word-of-mouth propaganda, which is fueled above all by competitors. Above all, the cooperation with a mother agency offers the necessary protection. In addition, absolute professionalism and reliability are essential in all business and personal contacts.

Expensive marketing investments must also lead to more sales and prices and services must therefore be properly matched. Sickness, accident and accident insurance are recommended to be legally secured. Insurance will also be used for damage and theft. Because of the nature of the business, it is extremely important not to compromise on performance and to focus on quality and reliability. Only in this way can customers be tied up in the long term.

Since a well-designed website and local search engine optimization should be operated, benevolent customer opinions are extremely important, provided that they are communicated on the rating portals (for example, XXXX, XXXX, etc.).

Due to the experience and qualifications of the founder, the numerous challenges of the business model are very likely to be handled well.

SWOT- Analysis

The following SWOT-table shows the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in a clear format.

Partner

The main partner of BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY will be New York-based sister of the founder, XXXX, BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE BRAND. She has been living in New York for nine years and will make contacts with the fashion industry at the same time. Thus, even at the beginning, a small international clientele can be set up, which extends from  BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE REGION to New York.

Another important partner is the cooperation with the mother agency. But also photographers and stylists become important partners of the company. By working together with them, it is only possible to do a really convincing job.

Marketing plan

Effective marketing is one of the main pillars of agency models. In addition to an attractive website, the above-mentioned cultural and media projects, social media channels, and the development of personal contacts, are to be used. The marketing instruments are based on the previously defined target groups. The pricing policy is also a marketing tool, insofar as it can highlight the exclusivity of the models.

Pricing Strategy

The modeling agency, as is customary in the industry, will retain a percentage of the hired model’s fee. In addition, there will be the possibility of buy-outs and, of course, exclusive contracts, which bring the agency a particularly high margin since high prices are paid here.

BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE REGION fee usually consists of a commission and an administrative commission. The agency’s commission in  BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE REGION is on average at XX%. If a model receives the fee as an advance payment, an agency commission of XX% will be charged, i.e. X%  is a surcharge for the pre-financing.

The prices vary depending on the order for the models. For example, title photos for magazines are paid less well than advertisements. The price for each model increases depending on the level of awareness. This means that the market and the demand here determine the price. Therefore, the entire pricing policy will be based on market behavior. However, it can be said that this will move in the upper price segment, since the customers are quality-conscious customers and the impression of exclusivity should also be reflected in the price.

Above all, the agency will stand out from the competition thanks to its outstanding and comprehensive service. Thus, although the prices are the same, the service is more comprehensive.

BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE Communication Policy

In the media landscape it is very important to have a strong presence in order to be taken seriously by partners and customers. Especially for the model business, this is of elementary importance. For the business success, the start-up company will have to come to terms with existing market participants. As a result, a marketing mix of internet and magazine advertising, social media marketing and attendance at industry events (fashion shows, press and other information and networking events in the industry) is very important for effective communication with customers and potential partners. Special attention will also be paid to the organization of cultural and media events. Two projects are planned so far. On the one hand there will be a BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE REGION Fashion Week. At this event, fashion lovers, scouts, trade visitors and media representatives meet at events around Brazilian fashion trends and lifestyle. The aim is to cooperate with various institutions, such as department stores, restaurants and cultural institutions.

Another project will be “XXXX Girls”. Here are made with football clubs contacts and these can choose a model, which represents the club. On the internet, football fans will have the opportunity to vote for the girls. Again, the founder promises media attention and a wide spread in social networks.

Both actions will generate a broad media interest, which should be considered a successful public relations tool.

For distributing on catwalks or other events as well as for sending and sharing in a personal conversation, print materials will complement the marketing of the BASIC BUSINESS PLAN TEMPLATE COMPANY. Also smaller freebies for customers as well as event program info booklets, which fulfill at the same time a marketing function, are distributed.

There will also be a public opening event to introduce the modeling agency on the market. Here are invited both local personalities as well as representatives from the media and fashion industry. Of course, at this time, some prominent models will already speak for the agency’s exclusivity and thus already act as a marketing tool.

In order for the agency to be able to position itself on the market and potential customers to take advantage of the offers and services, public relations becomes an important point of marketing. With good public relations, it is possible for customers to build trust in the company for the first time and also in the long term. The different target groups, i.e. potential customers or potential business partners, are addressed in a specific way. Above all, this will be achieved through the establishment and maintenance of a press mailing list, certain public relations events and publications in sector-specific media.

To be consistent with the company, the corporate identity plays a special role. Communicating a consistent look helps customers quickly memorize the business. All funds used for internal and external corporate communication are therefore given a uniform design.
