strategies for promoting their company’s dance programs and
services online and public communities.
(See Appendix B for Sample Survey and Result Projections).
For secondary research, Timmons can use articles, books;
reports in the Census.gov and videos on dance marketing topics.
This research will help the company to also analyzed dance
industries statistical facts and how Joy’s Creative Arts can
perform their services better than their competitors.
Walker and Mullins, (2011) states, “Companies should start
with trade associations and trade magazines, where companies
can track and report trends on industries. Most local, state and
federal governments offer demographic data that is easy to
access on these websites including www.census.gov in the
United States” (p.117).
Other research including dance ethnography focus on face-to-
face research for the dance worlds, dance events, social and
culture aspects of dance. This search also includes political and
religious views on dance, ethnic dance in ways to express
dance. It is also good to explore by taking dance lessons,
perform dance in dance project events and teach students dance
routines. It is also good to study dance history, dance genres,
dance movies, such as” Step Up 1-5” and performances to help
get ideas on what customers are looking for in participate in
dance events, products and services. The limitations are
creating many unique dance programs, understanding dance
industry changes each year; unstructured techniques can affect
5. the research for resolving the marketing problems of Joy’s
Creative Arts. Some non-statistical and non-representative case,
respondents selected for offering dance programs may not be
available on not all research methods.
If comparing Non-Western and Western dance this allows the
company to determine what dance styles customers are more
likely to take in today’s dance world.
Most of the customers are taking folk, contemporary and hip-
hop dance, but also social dance to dance-sport and stage dance
performance. When having the knowledge of participating in
dance, it is consisted as being part of the dancing, post-
colonialism, race politics, gender, body mind and movement.
Other concepts include globalization, organized by dance
creation, preserved and displayed by media technologies.

non-talented and talented customers that are willing to buy and
participating their dance programs. This company will work
with customers with elementary, middle, high, college
undergraduate and graduate or no education. This company is

dance that much, but that can change each year.
(See Appendix C Attendance of Products and Services
Projections).
Customers with dance experience usually participate and
purchase dance programs and services. They have different
attitudes, beliefs, experience, expectations, opinions, values or
views on participating and purchasing dance programs and
services. People participate in dance to resolve their health
problems, such as cancers and diabetes. Others participate in
dance to get away from bad situations, such as abusive
households, bullying, drugs or gangs. Then, people do dance for
dance career opportunities, as a hobby or improve their
wellness, such as relationship with others. Any media Joy’s
Creative Arts use to advertise dance programs and services will
be an educational advertisement that resolve people’s life
situations, which leads to positive outcomes on customer’s
expectations.
Besides limitations, there are negative living conditions, such as
financial, health, relationships and wellness problems that need
to be resolved. People having limited financial budgets cause
them to unable to afford their living expenses and services.
There are also people living with AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease,
cancers, eating disorders, heart diseases, HIVs, STDs and other
health issues that are hindering their health due to negative
economic and living conditions. Next, people are living with
bad relationships in family members, friends and other people.
Finally, people are suffering abuse, bullying, mental disorders
7. and participating in inactive activities, such as playing games,
gangs and watching television, which leads to lead to negative
impact on people’s financial, health, relationship and wellness
problems. Part of these problems caused by the current
economic conditions, even there are other factors that can
causes these issues.
Economic conditions can also impact on people’s financial
budgets, health, relationships with others and wellness
problems. These conditions started in 2009; but have improved,
but have a long way to go. Business conditions has also
impacted on people’s financial budgets, health, relationships
with others and wellness problems due to going out of
businesses, people losing jobs and cannot no longer their living
expenses. Other people are mistreated by businesses, which lead
them to resign from their jobs that do not provide them enough
financial support to pay for their living expenses. There are
managers and owners operate a business with no proper
education, such as MBA or certification like the owner, Joy
Michele Timmons.
Owners with MBA or other business college degree help them to
operate a business successfully than other business owners and
managers. People have also experienced scams, which is one of
the current problems with job opportunities, getting funding for
businesses and other opportunities. Some people had decided to
start their business, but online like Joy’s Creative Arts until the
economy improved years from now. Joy’s Creative Arts is not
required to be a licensed business, but required to be register as
a LLC and sole proprietorship business under department of
taxation and assessment by law. This company has to be
insurance by an insurance company like State Farms in order
avoid lawsuits for accidents, deaths, illness or injuries occur in
businesses. Other laws and regulations like in employment in
business required by law.
Competition Analysis
8. Joy’s Creative Arts is competing against Baltimore Dance
Center, Encore Baton and Dance Studio and Nickelz
Productions. These are the dance industries the owner has
business issues with in career opportunities with these
industries. The SWOT analysis used to compare all industries’
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats on offering
dance programs to customers.
Jones, Knotts and Udell (2011) suggested, “Market also
attractiveness focused on the product areas included societal
impact, business risk, demand analysis, market acceptance,
competitive capabilities, and experience and strategy” (p.41).
Curnow and Randall (2007) states, “Strategic analysis, market
assessment, strengths and weaknesses, which a person can get
the idea. No substance to found at this stage of the game. The
marketing firm is selling ideas. It will not give you any
specifics on a plan or recommendation until you sign on the
dotted line” (p.16).
Walker and Mullins (2011) also indicate, “Assessing market
attractiveness requires the important macro-environmental
trends or macro trends” (p.104).
Walker Jr. and Mullins (2011) As Michael Porter points, "A
company can outperform its rivals only if it can establish a
difference that is can preserve. It must deliver in greater value
to customers or create comparable value at a lower cost or both"
(p.4). For threats of new entrants, Joy’s Creative Arts has the
potential to compete for customers by prices, quality and new
styles and models in dance programs. However, there are
competitors maybe offering the similar dance programs as Joy’s
Creative Arts business. For threats of substitutes, unlike other
dance companies, Joy’s Creative Arts replace ballet, tap and
jazz dance combo programs with creative dance programs. Jazz
funk dance replaces the jazz hip-hop or hip-hop jazz dance
combo dance programs. Contemporary dance programs replace
9. African, ballet, liturgical, lyrical and modern dance programs.
For entry of new competitors, Joy’s Creative Arts is expected to
enter high-performance dance company industry five years now.
Next, for bargaining power of suppliers, this company have no
manufactured their apparels, refreshments, but partners with
apparel clothing companies to produce clothing products and
food companies to produce food products. Finally, for
bargaining power of consumers, Joy’s Creative Arts have the
power to switch to other dance programs or new style, better
prices, high quality, great convenience and other features. There
is a possibility the consumers can lose power when they are
loyal business lie Joy’s Creative Arts and want to buy only
Joy’s Creative Arts’ dance programs.
Campman (2001) states, The unique idea, which use the Internet
as the channel to market, find venture capitalists to give the
funds to develop the idea into a business; build market share at
any cost: take the company public through an IPO (initial public
offering); and sell the company and move on to the next idea or
use the money generated with the IPO to build a truly
sustainable business” (p.201).
Prasad (2011) claim, “The five forces model has used very
effectively for defining market entry decisions. Producers' point
of view, the most favorable matrix of force intensity is one in
which all the elements are “low” is the one that is favorable for
market entry” (p.132).
These five questions to focus on determining the strategies key
competitors used and maintain successful and unsuccessful
business. 1) What are the reasons for the company is successful
and unsuccessful? 2) How are the consumer motivates
performance?,3) What are the component costs? 4) How can this
industry work with mobile barriers? And 5) How can Joy’s
Creative can offer that their three competitors do not offer in
their company? 6) What can this company offer unique dance
programs and related services than their three competitors?, and
10. 7) What customers wants and needs in dance programs?
Walker Jr. and Mullins (2011) states, “Business level strategy
goal is to compete in its industry in order to have the
sustainable advantage over its rivals” (p.19).
The best-cost leader strategy can help Joy’s Creative Arts to
make decisions on changing the quality of offering dance
classes that would be suitable for their target audience. This
strategy also gives the company’s customers more value for the
money by evaluating low and upscale differences. Joy’s
Creative Arts can use this strategy to maintain good costs and
prices lower than other competitors with good quality and
features including raising customer satisfaction in dance
programs. A broad differentiation strategy is suitable for Joy’s
Creative Arts because it helps them to maintain low-cost in
dance classes and related services, which appeals the high range
of customers.
One critical success factor is having great staffs and teachers to
educate and train customers dance programs effectively in order
to maintain customer’s satisfaction. Another critical success
factor is to effectively evaluate customer’s problems and make
sure they are honest about their problems they are trying to
resolve. This situation is the only way Joy’s Creative Arts can
help customers to explore different options that will benefit
their expectations in products and services.
The third critical success factor is to have time to promote the
studio’s marketing offers, such as special offers. The fourth
critical success factors is to build relationships with customers
and employees no matter the ups and downs of this Joy’s
Creative Arts’ ownerships. The fifth critical success factor is
use current and new effective strategies to stay a successful
business. Finally, observe, experience, review, practice and
study dance in order to perform successful dance careers and
project events.

maintain affordable and low prices on dance programs as much
as possible, if the current prices are unsuccessful for customers
to purchase. This company will promote in shopping malls, hold

the upcoming audience in different dance styles.
The decisions on conducting competitive strategy is to expand
the company with more classes and locations like family dance
classes, which attract new customers that want to improve their
family relationships. There will be more dance classes for new
customers added to this company. Then, it is also a good idea to

and services. According to Walker and Mullins (2011), “Macro
