Wholesale Landscape Products Business Plan

March 3, 2023 By JamesCall Leave a Comment


Wholesale Landscape Products Business Plan


The marketplace for nursery products and services is changing, both in nature and scope. The consumer is now more upscale and the market continues to expand.

The number of households in the United States has increased by 10 percent over the past seven years to 140.9million. The National Association of Home Builders anticipates 903,000 new home starts this year, while there will be more than 4.5 million sales of existing homes, according to the National Association of Realtors.

These facts alone suggest a future full of opportunities for forest byproducts. They are not the only thing. There has been a significant population shift. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce the baby boomers dominate the housing market. In the next four year, the 45-to 56-year-old age bracket will rise by 54 percent. In recent years, 50 percent of nursery sales was made to customers aged 45-60.

The average cost of landscaping, which involves the installation of plant material in existing or modified landscapes, was $500 per household last year. This allowed retailers to make more than $5B in sales.

Glen Mar Forest Products will be offering this growing customer base a brand new product line that will make landscaping a more enjoyable experience. Rainbow Mulch(tm), is the product. This color-enhanced shredded hardwood mulch is environmentally safe and colorfast. It is non-toxic and safe for animals and plants. The product contains only organic ingredients and is made from virgin timber products.

The customer can choose from five rainbow colors:

  • Rainbow Gold

Promotional Products Maker Business Plan

March 3, 2023 By JamesCall Leave a Comment


Promotional Products Maker Business Plan



Introduction

There is a market in the advertising specialty sector for velour & leatherette drawstring bags, eyeglass bag, jewelry bags, pen bags and pen bags that can hold promotional products to increase their perceived worth. Elsewares Promotional Products & Packaging was established to supply these logo-imprinted products to advertising specialists distributors, who then market them to the end users.


The products

Elsewares intends to develop an inventory of unique products and drawstring packaging products that can add perceived value to those products. These products, which are sourced from Mexico or the Far East, will have various company logos imprinted before being shipped to distributors.

Elsewares joining the Advertising Specialties Institute trade organization will give them print and electronic acces to a network (13,000 to 14,000 ASI)-listed advertising specialty distributors. This is part a $7 billion industry. In terms of advertising dollars, this is only behind newsprint and TV. Elsewares will only market its products through distributors. They will not sell directly the end users. Elsewares aims to reach distributors by placing advertisements in trade publications and using an in-house marketing team and a network with salaried, commission-based sales representatives.

We will also be promoting these unique packaging products concurrently with our marketing campaign. This gives us three sales opportunities: The sale of the promotional item by itself, the sale to distributors of other packaging products, and the combination of our promotional product with packaging.


The Market

Sales in the advertising specialties industry have been growing at a rate of almost 7% per year for the past decade and reached over $7 billion in sales last year. This is an established industry with many suppliers and distributors. The combined sales of the three suppliers selling only velour- and leatherette drawstring bags was $2,500,000. These three suppliers are located along the East Coast. The Midwest and West Coast have the largest number of advertising specialty distributors. We believe that by focusing our marketing efforts on the West Coast distributors (many of whom already have positive business relationships with our personnel), we will be able to capture a substantial market share in the packaging niche over three years.


Considerations for Financial Planning

A portion of our initial startup budget will be used to purchase inventory and office equipment. The balance will be used for catalog costs and initial advertising expenses. We project that additional financing will be required to finance the initial 12 months of operation.

Elsewares aims to increase its sales in the West United States, and achieve a respectable sales level by Year 2. With our per month fixed cost estimate and anticipated monthly unit sales we should hit running monthly break-even after the fourth month.

Elsewares wants a financial package built on a 5-year-old note that will be amortized over 15 year. The founder will personally guarantee this note. The company will be allowed to amortize the note over 15-years, which will provide the opportunity for it to build a strong track record, which will allow it to seek alternative financing. Elsewares’ owners have no intention of taking any profits out the business, until long-term debt is satisfied. Whatever profits remain after the above debt payments will be used to finance growth, mainly through the acquisition of additional inventory.

1.1 Objectives

Presently, the East Coast is home of three leading suppliers for imprinted pouches to distributors of advertising specialty products. They do a combined $2,000,000 in sales of pouches. Elsewares will concentrate its sales efforts in the West and aim to have a solid sales volume by the end. Elsewares is planning to factor in our growth by diversifying its product offering into unique promotional products which will be attractive in their own right or packaged within a drawstring pouch, which we also can provide.

1.2 Mission

Elsewares is developing a collection of unique products, as well as drawstring packaging products, that will increase the perceived value of these products. These products, which will be sourced from Mexico and the Far East, will be imprinted in-house with various company logos before they are shipped to the distributors.

Elsewares joining the Advertising Specialties Institute trade organization will give them print and electronic acces to a network (13,000 to 14,000 ASI)-listed advertising specialty distributors. This is part a $7 billion industry. This puts it behind newsprint and TV in terms spent on advertising. Elsewares’ products will be sold only through these distributors. Elsewares plans to reach these distributors through advertising in trade publications, an in-house selling force, and a network if salaried and commission-based reps.

1.3 Keys to Success

Management at Elsewares believes that the company has the right products and people to draw loyal customers. It is our business philosophy, however, that will ensure our success. Advertising specialty requires that products be delivered on-time and with high quality imprinting. These demands are being met

Elsewares will satisfy this demand by maintaining acceptable inventory levels that will be delivered on time according to pre-arranged shipping schedules.

Elsewares is going to establish a quality assurance procedure to control the imprinting process on-site. This will ensure that imprint quality is acceptable.

Elsewares, in addition to offering a complete line velour packaging materials, will also offer a unique range of promotional products. This will encourage advertising specialist distributors to think of Elsewares when searching for original products.

    MLM Cleaning Products Business Plan

    March 3, 2023 By JamesCall Leave a Comment


    MLM Cleaning Products Business Plan


    Earthly Clean is an environmentally-friendly cleaning product company that uses multi-level marketing (MLM). Earthly Clean has been founded by Devon McGregor. The company was registered as an Illinois LLC.

    The Products

    Earthly Clean has a range of non-toxic and environmentally friendly cleaning products that can be used for any household use. Earthly Clean is finalizing a contactual agreement with a major cleaning supply manufacturer for the production of a complete line of private label products. Earthly Clean buys direct from the manufacturer, so product prices will be very competitive. Earthly Clean finds it very valuable that the manufacturer will allow Earthly Clean orders of as little as $150. Earthly Clean can use this information to help them achieve efficient inventory management. Products that will be part of the initial product line include: all purpose soap, bathroom cleaner, basin/tub and tile cleaner, detergent, window cleaner, bleach, laundry liquid and a variety of different air fresheners. Earthly Clean offers high-quality products at competitive prices.

    The Market

    Earthly Clean sells products to two groups of customers. The first segment are individual consumers who are purchasing the products for personal (household) use. These are consumers who care about the environment and want non-toxic cleaners in their home. These are people of the younger generation who are politically liberal and are open to making a difference in improving our environment.

    The second target segment is made up of a small group of customers who are not in the first segment. Some of these people will be recruited to become distributors. A distributor is an individual who sells Earthly Clean products independently to their set of customers. This segment is made up of actual consumers who buy and use products. This creates a sales force who believes in the products they sell. If the distributors in this group are able to recruit distributors, they receive a commission. This is how the MLM business model works. Earthly Clean sells its products to consumers. Some of these consumers become distributors, which in turn generates revenue for Earthly Clean. These new distributors can attract more people to buy, and they make money both on the sales of their own products as well as on all the sales made by their salespeople.

    An Efficient Distribution Model

    This is a cost-effective distribution method that allows products to be purchased privately from their manufacturer. It ensures the best quality and lowest prices. They are then shipped directly to the consumers. The old bureaucratic distribution structure with enormous corporate profits is no longer necessary. MLM business models are often confused for pyramid schemes that are illegal in the U.S.

    Pyramid schemes offer compensation for new salespeople. It is possible to promise financial rewards for more people you recruit. This does not depend on what the people sell. Herein lies the crucial distinction that regulatory authorities analyze when determining if a business is a pyramid scheme: the way compensation is rewarded. If it is based on recruitment it is presumed illegal. Earthly Clean only compensates distributors for sales, an effective and efficient sales and distribution system.

    Earthly Clean is a dynamic new business that combines individuals’ passion for making a difference in the world with the opportunity to earn money. Earthly Clean can quickly generate steady revenue by carefully applying the multi-level marketing model. Sales forecasts show that the sales for years 2 and 3 will be $125,000 and $90,000. Net profit for the same years will reach 4.19% and 8.66%.

    1.1 Mission

    Earthly Clean’s mission consists of the creation of an environmentally-friendly distribution company that utilizes grassroots and network marketing techniques to promote the product and make meaningful contributions to the environment. Earthly Clean exists for its members to support each other and the environment.

    1.2 Objectives

    • To create a profitable company that sells environmentally friendly cleaning products.
    • Design an organization that compensates individuals for sales made by other people that they recruit.

  • Create a marketing machine that is more efficient than the outdated distribution systems.
  • 1.3 Keys to Success

    • Distribute only quality, environmentally friendly products.
    • To recruit new people for the sales team.
    • Establish the company on solid foundations of integrity.
