Assignment 1: Company Description and SWOT Analysis about
Due Week 3 and worth 100 points
In this assignment, you will conduct a SWOT (Strength,
Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat) analysis for the type of
beverage you have selected, and for your company overall. As
you work on the assignment, consider why you have chosen
one type of non-alcoholic beverage over another and the
reasons for that choice. As you complete your SWOT analysis,
be sure to include external factors such as industry / market
trends and competition, and internal factors such as your
capabilities or abilities to reach certain market segments.
Write a three to five (3-5) page paper, in which you:
Create your revised NAB company name and explain its
significance.
Develop your revised company’s Mission Statement and
provide a rationale for its components.
Hints:Use the Statement of Mission template on pp. 72-73 on
the course textbook: Successful Business Plan to aid your
development. Click here for help accessing a specific page
number in your eBook.
Extracting appropriate information from the NAB company
portfolio, where applicable. You should fill in other required
items in the template using your personal preferences.
Describe the trends in the non-alcoholic beverage industry,
especially the specific type of beverage category you have
chosen. Justify at least three (3) reasons why you have chosen
this type of non-alcoholic beverage.
Hints:Research and outline beverage industry trends. Consider
the size and growth rate of the industry overall and the specific
beverage type you have chosen. Use the worksheet in the
course text (p. 88 |Past and Future Growth of Your Industry) to
help you project the future growth rate. Consider the use of
industry associations and search engines to find reliable, recent
data.
Choose one (1) strategic position from the course text (pp. 142–
143) that you believe is the best strategic position for your
company. Explain the approach you will use to implement this
strategic position in order to distinguish your beverage from
other non-alcoholic beverages. Provide an overview of your
company’s distribution channels. Explain the manner in which
your product will reach end users. Provide a rationale for your
chosen method.
Hints:For example, will you sell your beverage in grocery
stores, restaurants, or sports venues? If so, describe the types
of resellers and distributors who will sell to resellers and fulfill
their orders. If you are attempting to sell direct-to-consumers,
such as online via a monthly subscription, how will you manage
warehousing / fulfillment / shipping?
Outline at least three (3) types of risks (including any
regulatory risks) that your business faces. Describe your
company’s plan to mitigate such risk.
Hints:You may refer to the types of risk listed in the course text
(pp. 148–149) as well as any risks not listed in the text.
Regulation weighs more heavily on beverage and food
businesses than many other types of companies, so be certain
to consider any regulatory risks your type of beverage faces.
For example, what kind of regulation and / or risks are you
likely to face if you make health claims about your beverage?
Develop a SWOT analysis for your NAB company using the
SWOT matrix worksheet in the course text (p. 153 |SWOT:
Strengths / Weaknesses / Opportunities / Threats)
Hints:What are your company’s likely strengths? Have you
chosen a beverage segment that is growing and lacks an
entrenched competitor? Are you in a niche market that has
great potential? What are the strengths that you and other team
members bring to your company? Do you or other team
members have previous experience in the food and beverage
industry?
Hints:What are your company’s likely weaknesses? Is the
competition in your industry segment entrenched? Is your own
management team inexperienced? Will it be challenging to
actually produce your product and maintain quality?
Hints:What are your company’s opportunities? Does your
segment have more demand than supply? Have larger
corporations stopped serving smaller or niche markets that
you could enter? Is a new market emerging because of
demographics, immigration, changing tastes?
Hints:What are your company’s threats? Is there a clear market
leader that will be hard and expensive to displace? Are
downward-pricing pressures in the segment making profit
margins slim? Are there little or no barriers-to-entry for new
competitors; if you have a novel idea that succeeds, can the
competition easily enter your market? If you have a global
aspect to your company, do factors such as currency
fluctuations, political instability, offshoring or outsourcing pose
threats?

Assignment 2: Marketing Plan
Due Week 6 and worth 100 points
This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a marketing plan
and sales strategy, and a marketing budget. Note: You must
submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this
assignment.
For the first six (6) months your company is in business—to
give you time to perfect your product and to learn from actual
customers—you will start marketing and selling in your own
community, a radius of twenty-five (25) miles from where you
live.
For most non-alcoholic beverages, marketing (as opposed to
the actual product itself) is key to success. Cola drinks, for
example, are fairly undifferentiated, as are many energy
drinks, juices, bottled water, and the like. Companies producing
these types of beverages differentiate themselves and attract
market share through marketing and brand awareness—both
of which are critical to success.
Section 1: Marketing Plan & Sales Strategy (MS Word or
equivalent)
Write the three to five (3-5) page Marketing Plan & Sales
Strategy section of your business plan, in which you:
1. Define your company’s target market.
a. Analyze the types of consumers who will be drinking your
beverage in demographic terms (i.e., age, education level,
income, gender, ethnic group, etc.). Support your analysis with
actual data on the size of the demographic groups in your local
community (nearby zip codes).
b. Outline the demographic information for your company
specified on the worksheet in the course text (p. 107 |
Demographic Description).
§ Hints: At American FactFinder (http://census.gov), you will
find demographic information on potential consumers in your
area. If you are selling through other businesses (such as
grocery stores), indicate the number of those businesses in
your local area. You will find information about such
businesses in your local area at County Business Patterns
(http://www.census.gov/econ/cbp/). Check Chapter 2 of
Successful Business Plan for more research sources.
2. Assess your company’s market competition.
a. Use the factors listed in the course text graphic (p. 123 |
Assess the Competition) to assess your company’s market
competition.
b. Defend your strategy to successfully compete against market
leaders in your segment.
§ Hints: For example, in the soft drink market, it is intimidating
to try to compete against Coke and Pepsi. Newcomers in mature
markets typically must pursue niche markets or even create
new market categories, as Red Bull did with energy drinks.
c. Defend your plan to differentiate yourself from the
competition using the information detailed on the worksheet in
the text (p. 131 | Market Share Distribution).
§ Hints: Every business faces competition and the non-alcoholic
beverage market is an especially crowded market.
3. Clarify your company’s message using the information
provided on the worksheet in the text (p. 160 | The Five F’s).
o
§ Hints: Before you choose your marketing vehicles, you must
determine the message you want to convey through those
vehicles.
4. Identify the marketing vehicles you plan to use to build your
company’s brand. Justify the key reasons why they will be
effective. Provide examples of other non-alcoholic beverage
companies that use these tactics effectively.
o
§ Hints: If you plan to use online marketing tactics, refer to the
worksheet in the text (p.171 | Online Marketing Tactics) to aid
your response. Remember that even if you’re selling through
grocery stores you need to build your brand and social media is
a major part of that in regard to beverages. Some of the
marketing tactics that beverage companies use include:
sampling in grocery stores, building a following on social
media, sponsoring events, exhibiting at trade shows attended
by retailers, and so on. You will use a combination of these
tactics. For example, if you decide to give out samples in
grocery stores, promote your sampling on your social media
networks and those of the grocery store.
o
§ Hints: If you are planning to distribute through resellers,
describe how you plan to reach them, for example, through
industry trade shows or by establishing your own sales force.
For information on trade shows, visit the Trade Show News
Network (http://www.tsnn.com). You can exhibit or network at
these shows.
5. Format your assignment according to these formatting
requirements:
a. Cite the resources you have used to complete the exercise.
Note: There is no minimum requirement for the number of
resources used in the exercise.
b. Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow
APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for
any additional instructions.
c. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment,
the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and
the date. The cover page and the reference page are not
included in the required page length.
Section 2: Marketing Budget (MS Excel worksheets template)
Section 2 uses the “Business Plan Financials” MS Excel template
(see: Course Required Files in Week 1). Use the “Business Plan
Financials Guide” (see: Course Required Files in Week 1) to
support your development of the Marketing Budget.
6. Complete the Marketing Budget worksheet for your
company.
o
§ Hints: The goal of the marketing budget is to help you
determine how much it will cost you to reach your market and
achieve your sales goals.
§ Hints: When filling out the “Marketing Budget” worksheet in
the Excel spreadsheet:
o Begin in the current year and complete a marketing budget
for the first year of your business. The information you enter in
the marketing budget spreadsheet will flow through to your
“Income Statement” in the Business Plan Financials.
o Leave the number at zero (0) for any marketing vehicles you
do not intend to use.
o Remember that all marketing activities involve costs. If social
media represents a significant portion of your marketing,
assume you will have cost of advertising and that should be
reflected on your budget. Even if a social media site charges
nothing to use it, you will need to use company resources to
manage the site, pay someone to execute your social media
marketing campaigns, and will most likely pay for ads on that
site.
o Do NOT leave the “Marketing Budget” blank, assuming you
will not have any marketing costs.

Consider the use of industry associations and search engines to find reliable, recent data. Choose one (1) strategic position from the course text (pp. 142– 143) that you believe is the best strategic position for your company. Explain the approach you will use to implement this strategic position in order to distinguish your beverage from other non-alcoholic beverages. Provide an overview of your company’s distribution channels. Explain the manner in which your product will reach end users. Provide a rationale for your chosen method.

What are the strengths that you and other team members bring to your company? Do you or other team members have previous experience in the food and beverage industry? Hints:What are your company’s likely weaknesses? Is the competition in your industry segment entrenched? Is your own management team inexperienced? Will it be challenging to actually produce your product and maintain quality? Hints:What are your company’s opportunities? Does your segment have more demand than supply? Have larger corporations stopped serving smaller or niche markets that you could enter? Is a new market emerging because of demographics, immigration, changing tastes? Hints:What are your company’s threats? Is there a clear market leader that will be hard and expensive to displace? Are downward-pricing pressures in the segment making profit margins slim? Are there little or no barriers-to-entry for new competitors; if you have a novel idea that succeeds, can the competition easily enter your market? If you have a global aspect to your company, do factors such as currency fluctuations, political instability, offshoring or outsourcing pose threats?

UOP BUS 599 Assignment 2 Marketing Plan NEW Check this A+ tutorial guideline at http://www.uopassignments.com/bus-599-stayer/bus- 599-assignment-2-marketing-plan-recent For more classes visit http://www.uopassignments.com Assignment 2: Marketing Plan Due Week 6 and worth 100 points This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a marketing plan and sales strategy, and a marketing budget. Note: You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. For the first six (6) months your company is in business—to give you time to perfect your product and to learn from actual customers—you will start marketing and selling in your own community, a radius of twenty-five (25) miles from where you live. For most non-alcoholic beverages, marketing (as opposed to the actual product itself) is key to success. Cola drinks, for example, are fairly undifferentiated, as are many energy drinks, juices, bottled water, and the like. Companies producing these types of beverages differentiate themselves and attract market share through marketing and brand awareness—both of which are critical to success. Section 1: Marketing Plan & Sales Strategy (MS Word or equivalent) Write the three to five (3-5) page Marketing Plan & Sales Strategy section of your business plan, in which you: 1. Define your company’s target market. a. Analyze the types of consumers who will be drinking your
  • 6. beverage in demographic terms (i.e., age, education level, income, gender, ethnic group, etc.). Support your analysis with actual data on the size of the demographic groups in your local community (nearby zip codes). b. Outline the demographic information for your company specified on the worksheet in the course text (p. 107 | Demographic Description). § Hints: At American FactFinder (http://census.gov), you will find demographic information on potential consumers in your area. If you are selling through other businesses (such as grocery stores), indicate the number of those businesses in your local area. You will find information about such businesses in your local area at County Business Patterns (http://www.census.gov/econ/cbp/). Check Chapter 2 of Successful Business Plan for more research sources. 2. Assess your company’s market competition. a. Use the factors listed in the course text graphic (p. 123 | Assess the Competition) to assess your company’s market competition. b. Defend your strategy to successfully compete against market leaders in your segment. § Hints: For example, in the soft drink market, it is intimidating to try to compete against Coke and Pepsi. Newcomers in mature markets typically must pursue niche markets or even create new market categories, as Red Bull did with energy drinks. c. Defend your plan to differentiate yourself from the competition using the information detailed on the worksheet in the text (p. 131 | Market Share Distribution). § Hints: Every business faces competition and the non-alcoholic beverage market is an especially crowded market. 3. Clarify your company’s message using the information provided on the worksheet in the text (p. 160 | The Five F’s). o § Hints: Before you choose your marketing vehicles, you must
  • 7. determine the message you want to convey through those vehicles. 4. Identify the marketing vehicles you plan to use to build your company’s brand. Justify the key reasons why they will be effective. Provide examples of other non-alcoholic beverage companies that use these tactics effectively. o § Hints: If you plan to use online marketing tactics, refer to the worksheet in the text (p.171 | Online Marketing Tactics) to aid your response. Remember that even if you’re selling through grocery stores you need to build your brand and social media is a major part of that in regard to beverages. Some of the marketing tactics that beverage companies use include: sampling in grocery stores, building a following on social media, sponsoring events, exhibiting at trade shows attended by retailers, and so on. You will use a combination of these tactics. For example, if you decide to give out samples in grocery stores, promote your sampling on your social media networks and those of the grocery store. o § Hints: If you are planning to distribute through resellers, describe how you plan to reach them, for example, through industry trade shows or by establishing your own sales force. For information on trade shows, visit the Trade Show News Network (http://www.tsnn.com). You can exhibit or network at these shows. 5. Format your assignment according to these formatting requirements: a. Cite the resources you have used to complete the exercise. Note: There is no minimum requirement for the number of resources used in the exercise. b. Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for
  • 8. any additional instructions. c. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length. Section 2: Marketing Budget (MS Excel worksheets template) Section 2 uses the “Business Plan Financials” MS Excel template (see: Course Required Files in Week 1). Use the “Business Plan Financials Guide” (see: Course Required Files in Week 1) to support your development of the Marketing Budget. 6. Complete the Marketing Budget worksheet for your company. o § Hints: The goal of the marketing budget is to help you determine how much it will cost you to reach your market and achieve your sales goals. § Hints: When filling out the “Marketing Budget” worksheet in the Excel spreadsheet: o Begin in the current year and complete a marketing budget for the first year of your business. The information you enter in the marketing budget spreadsheet will flow through to your “Income Statement” in the Business Plan Financials. o Leave the number at zero (0) for any marketing vehicles you do not intend to use. o Remember that all marketing activities involve costs. If social media represents a significant portion of your marketing, assume you will have cost of advertising and that should be reflected on your budget. Even if a social media site charges nothing to use it, you will need to use company resources to manage the site, pay someone to execute your social media marketing campaigns, and will most likely pay for ads on that site. o Do NOT leave the “Marketing Budget” blank, assuming you will not have any marketing costs.
