Magnolia Inn

Executive Summary

The Magnolia Inn is a beautiful facility that sits atop a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in scenic Half Moon Bay California. The Inn offers seven individually furnished rooms, each with its own antique theme. We are a complete bed and breakfast Inn with a full complementary breakfast served each morning to our guests. Magnolia’s target market strategy is based on becoming a destination of choice for professional couples in the greater San Francisco Bay area who are looking for a place to relax and recharge. We will also advertise to the newly married couple who is looking for that special get away. It will be important for us to be visible to those potential guests who are traveling on Highway 101 through Half Moon Bay.

The Magnolia will have an eye catching sign that will alert potential customers and drop-ins of our existence. We will use the Yellow Pages in the Bay area to market our Inn, as well as a Web page on the Internet which will focus on the features the Inn has to offer. Each room will be displayed with its unique decor, as well the outside of the Inn showing the beautiful gardens and views of the Pacific Ocean. Attractions within 30 miles of the Inn will be displayed with information about our shuttle service, room rates and directions. The Magnolia is confident that it will not take long to build a following that will put us at full capacity within the next year. The Inn would like to see steady growth with a average of over 90% capacity for Year 1, with profits also growing at a rate of 10%.

Jim and Nancy Anderson are the sole owners of the Magnolia and live at the Inn year around. The Andersons are hands-on owners who oversee every aspect of the Inn’s operations. A small staff consisting of a cook and a maid will work at the Inn. The cook will work 20 hours per week and the maid will be on the payroll 40 hours per week as she will also help Nancy take reservations and watch the front desk when needed. Nancy will oversee the inside operations working with the maid and cook as well as taking reservations. Jim will oversee the maintenance of the Inn and grounds and drive the van to shuttle guests when the need arises. Both Jim and Nancy will promote the Inn and oversee the advertising.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

Our target market strategy is based on becoming a destination for people who are looking to get away for a few days, on the beautiful California coast. Our marketing strategy is based on superior performance in the following areas:

  • Quality facilities.
  • Beautiful location.
  • Customer service.

The target markets are separated into three segments; “Vacationers,” “Honeymooners,” and “Drop-ins.” The primary marketing opportunity is selling to these accessible target market segments that focuses on vacation and recreational needs.

Vacationers
The most dominant segment of the three is comprised of the San Francisco Bay and surrounding area. Half Moon Bay is approximately a 45 minute drive for Bay area residents. Half Moon Bay can seem like a different world and this is attractive for those people who have the need to get away but do not have the time to go far.

Honeymooners
Because of the beauty and location of our Inn, we will be a very attractive choice for people looking for a honeymoon location.

Drop-ins
When rooms are available we will welcome the drop-in customer who is looking for a place to stay for the night. Our sign can be seen from highway 101 and we expect to get quite a few drop-ins.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

The Magnolia Inn is a seven room facility that provides over night lodging and breakfast in a luxurious setting on the beautiful California Coast. There are several other Inns in the area as well as motels. Most people who need lodging in the area make reservations in advance to assure room availability. Two other Bed and Breakfast Inns, the Riptide Inn, and the Bayshore Inn are our main competitors.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

Typically in this industry the consumer is someone who is not just looking for a room to sleep in, but a facility that provides a homespun touch. A place that is unique and offers more personalized customer service. Because each Inn is offering something unique to the guest, customer service and quality of the facilities are at the forefront of importance. Location is also important and those Inns with an ocean view have an advantage, but with the limited number of rooms at Inns in the area there are enough customers to match the supply. The Magnolia will not be competing on price as the price of a room is on the high end of the scale. Guests at the Magnolia are paying for more than just a room, they are paying for a oasis away from their hectic world.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

The primary sales and marketing strategy for Magnolia includes these factors:

  • To offer a bed and breakfast facility that will appeal to the busy professional.
  • To provide unmatched customer service to our guests.
  • To concentrate our marketing in the greater San Francisco Bay area.

5.1 Competitive Edge

The Magnolia Inn sets itself apart from similar competition in the following ways.

  • Location: The sheer beauty of our setting is a huge plus. Nestled on a bluff with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean the Magnolia is the ideal place to take in mother nature. Beautiful magnolia trees and a garden area makes this setting a truly magnificent place.
  • Our rooms: Each room is individually decorated with antiques that are tasteful but comfortable. You feel as if you have stepped back in time, as luxury is present at every turn.
  • Customer service: Customer service is our number one priority. The Magnolia will treat each guest as if they are family.

5.2 Marketing Strategy

Our marketing strategy is based on becoming a destination for vacationers and honeymooners who are looking for truly beautiful and unique lodgings. With the greater San Francisco Bay area our main target market the Magnolia will use several different approaches to advertise our facility. We will use the Yellow Pages to advertise, as well as develop a Web page that will show our beautiful Inn. On highway 101 we will have an eye catching sign that will alert potential drop-ins of our existence. The Magnolia is confident that it will not take long with word-of-mouth from past customers, to build up to full capacity.

5.3 Sales Strategy

Our prime location with a beautiful ocean view and a quality facility will be an attractive choice for our potential customers. Each room is decorated individually with antiques and quality furnishings made to feel just like home. A hot tub on the deck overlooking the ocean is provided for our guests. A first class breakfast is served each morning with no expense spared. Guests will have several options on our menu so that we can accommodate most tastes. There are several fun and interesting destination spots within 30 minutes of the Inn and we will have a van ready to shuttle guests if they need the service. The Magnolia guest will feel pampered and will leave for home well rested.

5.3.1 Sales Forecast

The sales forecast table is broken down into two main revenue streams: Reservations and Drop-ins. The sales forecast for the upcoming year is based on a 10% growth rate for direct sales. The Magnolia has seven rooms to offer its guests at a rate of $175.00 per night. We expect the rate of rooms occupied to increase as the year progresses. In spite of the economic unpredictability we are experiencing, these projections appear attainable and take the increasing base into consideration. Growth rates for the years 2005 and 2006 are based on percentage increases as follows:

  • Reservations: 10% growth rate per year.
