Mojo Music

Executive Summary

Mojo Music will be a CD store that specializes in used CDs and DVD rentals as well as blank CD/DVD recording media.  Our target customers are the 23,000 students of State University and 40,000 non-student residents of the university area.

Mojo Music will be located one half block from the university campus on Taylor Street which is the major retail/commercial section of the university area.  The student foot traffic on Taylor is heavy.  The university bookstore is on Taylor Street, as well as numerous coffee houses, restaurants, and shops that cater to the student population.

Though the location is perfect for our target customers, it is more important to understand what our customers want from a CD store.

Twenty five years ago, it was popular among young adults to create mix cassette tapes of their favorite music for personal use and as gifts for friends. Today, with the wide distribution of CD recording equipment, Internet technology, and new recording formats like MP3, young adults now have the ability to create personalized presentations of their favorite music.  The market for used CDs has exploded as a consequence of young listeners’ ability to create quality duplication from CDs. With the average price for a new CD at $16-$18, young adults would rather buy a used CD for a little over half that price ($8-$11).  It is even more attractive if they can get in-store purchasing credit by selling their own CDs to the store.

Mojo Music will offer popular new releases and used CDs.  We will have a attractive CD buying program that will reward customers for spending money in the store. In addition to new CDs in the store, a customer will be able to order any CD that is currently issued.  We will have that CD in the store within three days.

Affordable blank CD/DVD recording media is another important key in bringing our target customers into the store. Young adults between 17-25 years of age are the largest group purchasing CD and DVD recorders.  There is no store that sells recording media within a 10 mile radius of the university.

Similarly, there is no video/DVD rental store next to campus.  The closest rental store is four miles off campus. Due to the drop in price for DVD players, many students own DVD/CD players, so the preferred format for movies is DVD.  This is not true for the larger community with still prefers video cassette. 

Mojo Music will sell blank recording media and rent movies in DVD format.

Products

Mojo Music offers popular new CDs, used CDs, DVD rentals, and CD/DVD recording media.  The primary focus will be to satisfy the music/DVD needs of the target customers.

  • New CDs: CDs that are popular with our target group.
  • Used CDs: CDs that are in good condition and that have a reasonable chance of being purchased.
  • DVD rentals: Movies that are popular with our target customers.
  • CD/DVD recording media: Provide the best quality for the best price.

Market Analysis Summary

It is estimated that the university student community spends over $75 million with local businesses each year.  Approximately 50% of these sales are for entertainment including music and movies.   The university’s commercial/retail area borders the east side of the campus and it is the main entrance onto campus.  Each day, thousands of students shop and eat on Taylor Street before, after, and between classes.

Currently, if a student wanted to purchase a used CD, he/she would have to take a ten minute drive to reach the only used CD store in town.  Similarly, he/she would also have to drive to reach the closest video rental store to the campus community.

Mojo Music offers the student the ability to buy a CD or rent a DVD during the day while on campus.

4.1 Market Segmentation

Mojo Music will focus on three significant customer groups:

  • Used CD buyer/seller:  The shelf life for music is very short with young adults.  What was popular three months ago can quickly become boring.  The music industry is aware of this trend and is constantly releasing the next great hit to satisfy this hunger for the new.  But what does the buyer do with old CDs that are no longer being rotating into the CD player? Mojo Music will be uniquely designed to attract and retain this important customer group.
  • CD/DVD recording media buyer: This customer group is very significant. They have already embraced the technology that gives them the freedom to create their own CDs and DVDs.  The purchase/sell turnaround on a CD/DVD is very quick with this group. They will be a great source for used popular CDs and DVDs.  Mojo Music will set up an in-house credit system that will bring this customer group into the store.
  • DVD renters: As stated before, the student population represents a unique group of DVD users.  Many manufacturers now make cheap CD/DVD players that are targeted at young adults.  So DVD rentals are much higher with this customer group than the population as a whole.  Mojo Music’s location is perfect to capture the walk-in business for DVD rentals.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

The advancement of CD recording equipment, Internet technology, and new recording formats like MP3, has turned young adults into a new type of music and movie consumer.  This trend has already depressed CD sales nationwide and many CD stores have gone out of business in last five years.

To be successful, a store must respond to the market opportunity the target consumer is providing. Though the game has changed, there is still tremendous opportunity if a CD store can read the market needs and trends correctly.

The student population that Mojo Music is targeting is very comfortable with the newest technology and has easy access to CD/DVD recording equipment. This creates a new expectation in the consumer’s mind concerning what is an affordable price for music.  Most college-aged adults have reported in numerous industry polls that the price of new CDs should be lower.  This search for a lower price led to the explosion of MP3 on the Internet. Consequently, CD recording media has increased in sales.

Quality used CDs fill the niche that this concern creates by offering a lower price for popular music.

Another area where the college-age consumers is leading the market is in the use of DVDs.  At most video rental shops, DVDs are small subsection of available rentals. Currently, these shops primarily serve consumers who prefer video cassettes. Though this trend is changing, DVD owners find the selection limited.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Mojo Music will be heavily promoting the store.  We will use the student daily paper to advertise a $2 off per CD coupon.  In addition, we will have a drawing for five CD/DVD players each week.  We will continue the drawings for the first eight weeks of the store’s operation.

5.1 Competitive Edge

Mojo Music’s competitive edge is:

  • Location: Mojo Music is on Taylor Street, one half block from the entrance to the university.  The student foot traffic on Taylor Street is very strong. The closest used CD store to the university area is a ten minute drive.
  • Quality used CDs: With the average price for a new CD at $16-$18, young adults would rather buy a used CD for a little over half that price ($8-$11).  It is even more attractive if they can get in-store purchasing credit by selling their own CDs to the store.
  • CD/DVD recording media: Young adults between 17-25 years of age are the largest group purchasing CD and DVD recorders.  There is no store that sells recording media within a 10 mile radius of the university.  
  • DVD rentals: The closest rental store is four miles off campus. Due to the drop in price for DVD players, many students own DVD/CD players, so their reasonable format for movies are DVD. 

5.2 Sales Strategy

The key to Mojo Music’s sales strategy is to get the sellers of used CDs to spend their money in the store. To accomplish this goal, we will offer the seller two options for their CDs: cash and in-store credit. In-store credit will be 20% more than cash.  This can be used to buy CDs or CD/DVD recording media.  In-store credit can also be used to rent DVDs.
