The Pottery Table

Executive Summary

The Pottery Table is a new 44-seat paint-it-yourself pottery studio in Monroe. It’s fun. It’s easy. It’s a great place to have a party or create a one-of-a-kind gift.

The store staff provides the pre-fired pottery, supplies, and a clean, cozy, and relaxing place to put it all together–plus idea books and a helpful staff to get the “artist” started. The customers provide the inspiration to create unique gifts with a warm and personal touch–like a mug with a child’s handprint, a custom photo frame, or a bowl for a canine companion.

A customer can even create items to match home decor with unmatched creative flexibility and color choice. The Pottery Table supplies everything the “artist” needs:

  • Hundreds of pre-fired pottery choices.
  • A huge selection of non-toxic glazes.
  • All the brushes, sponges, and supplies.

When the artist is finished, a clear glaze will be applied and the pottery will be re-fired. The customer can pick up his or her work in about a week. It’s food and dishwasher safe.

Janet Miller, owner of The Pottery Table, has been a pottery instructor for over ten years, including leading classes through the city’s recreation program. Over the ten years, she has instructed hundreds of children and adults in the joy of creating unique pottery.

Total 10.27% 86,000 94,780 104,495 115,246 127,147 10.27%

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

The target market strategy for The Pottery Table is as follows:

  • Seniors: This is an important group for morning and early afternoon studio time. Active seniors are members of community senior organizations and clubs. The Pottery Table can market directly to these groups in order to attract seniors.
  • Youth (ages 3 – 10): The Pottery Table will focus on bringing pre-schoolers in during the morning and early afternoon and school-aged children during the late afternoon.
  • New Mothers: The Pottery Table believes that marketing to new mothers is the best way to build future customers. The new mother’s program will focus on creating pottery that will celebrate the new baby.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

The Pottery Table is a do-it-yourself craft business where customers create their own unique piece of pottery.

There has been a number of successful do-it-yourself businesses that focus on the joy of the creative process. Currently, in Monroe, there is only one existing pottery store that offers the same service. The Kiln Room is located on the south side of town, in the commercial district. Its focus is the more serious pottery customer.

The Pottery Table’s focus is more entertainment than education. The key is how the customer feels about the experience rather than the pottery. Repeat business, as well as referrals, are crucial to the success of a craft business.
