1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
This business deals with stationery items. Where it sells different stationary items like note
book, pen, files etc. Along with these products the business also deals with print outs,
photocopy, spiral binding etc.
Mission statement: the first and foremost aim of the company is customer satisfaction. It
wants to provide a good service to the customers. In addition to the above aim it wants to earn
a good amount of profit.
Goals and objectives: the business has planned to earn a good amount of profit and with the
help of this profit it has planned to expand the business both in terms of stock of the products
and outlets.
Business philosophy: as the mission statement says customer satisfaction is very important. If
the customer is satisfied, automatically, he will visit the shop regularly and helps to improve
the business
The target customers of this business is the college students as the location of the business is
near the college vicinity.In addition to that there are many companies and government offices.
Since the location of business near by the college vicinity, the demand for the stationery
products will be very high. I have planned to offer the products at reasonable price along with
attractive discounts which may help me to create demand.
Legal form of ownership: it is a sole trading concern. This is a very small business which can
be managed by single person. So I thought its best to choose sole proprietorship.

2. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Stationery business deals with many products like note books, where both ruled and not ruled
books are available, different brands of pens and pencils are available. The list runs on and on.
So the detailed list of the product is given at the end of the report.
Along with the stationery products, the business also does printings, photocopies and spiral
binding.
I have installed a new type of copier machine which is very inexpensive compare to other
photocopier machine. The single machine does three works of three different machines i.e.
printing, photocopy and scanning. The one more advantage of this machine is that the machine
consists USB port which helps to insert portable devices like pen drive and we can directly
take the print out of the material which is in the pen drive. This feature of the machine saves a
lot of time and energy.
Due to this reason I can get more customers which will lead to more profit.

3. MARKETING PLAN
Since the location of business is near the educational institutions the market is very strong. So
automatically the demands for the products are very high.
In order to promote the product I have planned to print the hand out and distribute to the
students and to the passer by. Through this the people will come to know the business. In
addition to that I have planned to put the banner which gives the detail of the business.
Market size: there are two colleges the strength of the colleges is around 400. Along with this
the non student customers are around 50 .So, the customers to our business are around 450.
Customers:
The target customers are students.
Age: The first segment is of students from 20 to 30 yrs.
The second segment is more than 30 yrs
Gender: both men and women
Location: Phase 1 of Electronic City

Competition:
There are two major competitors to this business. They are :

Both are the major competitors. The first will compete both in stationery items and printing, whereas
