Market Analysis Summary

The Aspen Estates is a newly built apartment complex in the western suburbs of Jenniville. Construction is scheduled to continue for the next eight months, however 350 condominiums and townhouses are already complete and approximately another 175 are scheduled for completion in the next eight months.

All of the residences are for sale, not rent, so it is expected that the household income of the residents of Aspen Estates will be higher than the national average. Household income is estimated at $85,000 – $100,000. Many of the residents are workers at seven large technology companies that are located within a 20 mile radius of the Estates. These workers tend to be young, 25 – 45, married or living with a partner.

4.1 Market Segmentation

The “Yuppies” are young upwardly mobile individuals aged between 23 and 33.  Their household income is between $55,000 and $80,000, they have very active busy lives and are conscious of their health.  They are single or living with a partner.

The “Young Parents” are couples with young families aged 27 – 37.  They were Yuppies with a focus on entertainment and fun, but now their main focus is their one to two children.  They have less spare time than they used to, so convenience is important to them.

The “Healthy Middles” have the highest income $90,000 to $120,000.  Much of their time is still spent taking care of their children, but their children are old enough to spend the occasional evening alone if their parents want a night out.

The “Healthy Middles” is the smallest market in the Aspen Estates, but potentially the most lucrative for Luna’s.  This group has an expected growth rate of 5% per year, beyond the influx of new home owners as the Estate residences are filled up over the next eight to 18 months.  The Yuppies are the next most lucrative group.  Although they have smaller household incomes than the “Young Parent” group, they have greater disposable income, since they have no children.

The following Market Analysis table includes residents of the Aspen Estates and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Potential Customers Growth CAGR
Yuppies 5% 750 788 827 868 911 4.98%
Young Parents 5% 880 924 970 1,019 1,070 5.01%

Total 5.00% 2,130 2,237 2,348 2,466 2,589 5.00%

4.2 Industry Analysis

  • The convenience store industry is highly fragmented, though larger players, such as 7-11, dominate since they are based in very high traffic areas and have the money during the early eighties to grow quickly.
  • Gross profits are typically 20 – 22%, with net profits

4.2.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

Convenience stores are small retail outlets, generally 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. Their product lines usually consist of staple groceries, beer, cigarettes, software drinks, dairy products, gasoline and some nonfood items. These stores not only sell products but convenience as well. They are generally located on busy streets, with easy-access parking outside the front door. The stores are often open 24 hours a day seven days a week.

The typical customer at a convenience store is a blue collar male between the age of 18 and 34. Beer and cigarettes together represent about 1/3 of merchandise sales. However, Luna’s is targeting the “Yuppies,” as the professional market grows.

4.3 Target Market Segment Strategy

The market segments identified in the previous section are the key groups that live closest to Luna’s.  These groups have been chosen because of their geographical location as well as their income levels and lifestyles.  Since the most attractive group have young children, the store will have a large candy area, as well as other products that parents need regularly for babies and young children, for example diapers and baby food.   

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Luna’s uses a strategy of impressive customer service. Luna’s will not have a typical convenience store feel.  It will provide higher-end food and hard goods than are typically found in convenience stores.  The store’s competitive edge is its prominent location, in a high income neighborhood.

Strategic Assumptions:

  1. Superior customer service will attract customers to come into the store more often.
  2. Every customer can be upsold to more products that they came in for.
  3. Marketing to high end individuals will lead to higher average sales per customer.

5.1 Competitive Edge

Luna’s competitive edge is its location and its position as first to market.  Luna’s is located within walking distance of every residence on Aspen Estates.  Currently there are no other stores offering similar products within a 2 mile radius of the Estates.  As new residents move into Aspen Estates, they will naturally chose Luna’s Convenience store as their first choice, because it is closest to their homes.  They will quickly become aware that Luna’s offers high quality organic and healthy products as well as a typical convenience store fare and it will become their preferred store for small grocery and household purchases.

5.2 Marketing Strategy

Luna’s is fortunate to have access to marketing research information that was developed by the developers of Aspen Estates, so the company has knowledge of a large portion of its potential market.  These relatively high income group presents a prime opportunity for Luna’s.  Knowing about the needs of this group will help Luna’s purchase goods that are most desired by their key target markets.   The convenient location of the store will mean that Luna’s will have to do little above the line advertising.

5.3 Sales Strategy

Luna’s will aim to provide a typical convenience store fare as well as items that they will purchase on impulse and that will increase the average sale per customer.  The sales staff will be focused on customer service and always ask customers if they have found everything that they need.

5.3.1 Sales Forecast

The average customer ticket is expected to be $5.50 cents.  This is greater than the industry average of $3.75, due to the demographics of the surrounding neighborhoods and the focus on branded goods and organic, healthy foods.

Management Summary

6.1 Personnel Plan

The following table illustrates the planned personnel over the next three years.  The industry typically has a high turnover rate, however, Luna’s will aim to avoid this by paying higher than typical minimum wage, employing older individuals than school and college age people, and focusing on making their employees as happy as their customers.

Heidi Renner $30,000 $34,000 $38,000

Total Payroll $91,200 $101,000 $110,000

Financial Plan

  2. Marketing will be minimal, since Luna’s will rely on convenient location and will not buy any advertising.
  3. The company will use tight inventory controls to manage costs.
  4. The company will gain higher grow margins than industry averages, since it is targeting women and professionals.

7.1 Important Assumptions
