CMBA - Connecticut Motorsports Business Association

Executive Summary

Introduction
The Connecticut Motorsports Business Association is a nonprofit trade association of motorsports businesses in Connecticut and other interested parties. CMBA works to enhance and improve the motorsports business climate in Connecticut by promoting the sport to the general public, protecting the rights of motorsports businesses, and assisting businesses to improve their sales and profits.

The Organization
CMBA was founded in 1974 as the Connecticut Motorcycle Dealers Association. In 1992 the association expanded to allow motorcycle accessory shops full participation in the Association. The name was changed in 1995 to the Connecticut Motorsports Business Association in recognition of the other motorsports products, such as personal watercraft and ski mobiles, that our members sell and service.

Our management team consists of the board of directors and officers of CMBA working closely with the executive director. In addition, a professional lobbyist is employed to keep us appraised of legislative activities and to help us affect desired outcomes. Ultimately the work will be divided among committees and the executive director may need to add staff to the Association management team.

Services
CMBA provides a variety of services to motorsport businesses including the scheduling and coordination of a number of activities and events. These include monthly dinner meetings for information sharing, a spring motorcycle show, the winter conference and seminars, an annual Awards Banquet, and an annual Connecticut SuperRide.

In addition we provide direct services to motorsport businesses that include professional lobbyist services to represent our members with government agencies, communications in the form of a monthly newsletter and regular monthly meetings as well as special bulletins, and group benefits such as coordinating our members’ dealings with insurance companies and distributors for rates and discounts.

Among the services planned for the future are: a group insurance medical plan for all members, a group buying plan, bringing the CMBA members onto the Internet for consumer sales and inter-member product distribution, a permanent rider education facility, and the development of a Connecticut Motorsport Park.

The Market
Research shows that the motorcycle industry has been growing for the past seven years. This includes all types of motorcycles. Today’s retail sales produce more than 3.5 times the dollars produced in 1983. In addition, Powersports research stated that “56% of motorsports customers turn to their friendly neighborhood dealer for all of their routine service work.” This creates a market with tremendous opportunities for small, local businesses if they can get the right tools to take advantage of the possibilities. For the most part, our potential members are very small businesses with limited resources for training and marketing. We can help them improve their earnings and increase the value of their investments with sales and management training and well as marketing information and marketing aids.

There are more than 100 businesses in Connecticut involved with motorsports. In addition, there are potential associate members outside the state, such as manufacturers, distributors, insurance companies, and others who service and sell to our members.

Since CMBA’s goal is to bring together all interested parties in the motorsport industry, the company plans to have a broad target market with management focusing on franchised dealers, independent accessory and repair outlets, insurance companies, distributors/manufacturers, and other interested parties.

Financial Considerations
Our main strategy is the growth of membership. A large membership base provides revenue from dues and also positions CMBA as the true representative of the Connecticut motorsports industry.

We want to finance growth solely through cash flow. We recognize that this means we will have to grow more slowly than we might like but that no assessment of members or borrowing is necessary.

Our funding on membership and other services is expected to increase from more than $195,000 the first year to more than $263,000 the third. Net surplus is estimated to rise slowly but steadily over the next three years. Cash flow is expected to remain healthy. We plan to apply any surplus to legislative activities, marketing activities, or hold it for contingencies.

Market Analysis Summary

There are more than 100 businesses in Connecticut involved with motorsports; from franchised dealers and independent accessory shops, repair facilities, and used vehicle dealers to insurance agencies, distributors, manufacturers, and other interested parties. In addition, there are potential associate members outside the state, such as manufacturers, distributors, insurance companies, and others who service and sell to our members.

4.1 Market Segmentation

  1. Franchised dealers.
  2. Independent accessory, repair, used motorcycle, parts stores.
  3. Insurance companies and agencies.
  4. Distributors and manufacturers.
  5. Other interested parties.

1999 2000 2001 2002 2003
Potential Customers Growth CAGR
Franchised Dealers -10% 25 23 21 19 17 -9.19%
Independent Shops 0% 50 50 50 50 50 0.00%
Associate Members 20% 25 30 36 43 52 20.09%
Total 4.44% 100 103 107 112 119 4.44%

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

Past experience has shown that most businesses in our industry will not join this association of their own accord. Instead, we must mount an aggressive membership drive.

NOTE: The number of franchised dealers is shrinking by mergers and acquisitions. Future growth of membership will require attracting the independent shops.

One important trend is the hectic nature of our lives combined with increasing competitiveness in the marketplace, not just from our own industry, but from a wide range of products and services targeting our customers’ dollars. In addition, mail order and Internet marketers also erode our market share.

A more positive trend is that new motorcycle and other powersports equipment sales seem to be increasing. Consumer confidence is up and so is consumer spending.

4.2.2 Market Growth

According to the D.J. Brown Composite Index in Dealernews magazine, the motorcycle industry is celebrating its seventh straight year of expansion. And it’s not just cruisers and sportbikes, the report continues, it’s also touring bikes and dirtbikes. Street motorcycles, including cruisers, sportbikes, tourers, and standards are up 17% through the end of 1998. Today’s retail sales produce more than 3.5 times the dollars produced in 1983.

In addition, Powersports research, also reported in Dealernews, stated that “56% of motorsports customers turn to their friendly neighborhood dealer for all of their routine service work.”

4.2.3 Market Needs

For the most part, our members and potential members are very small businesses with limited resources for training and marketing. We can help them improve their earnings and increase the value of their investments with sales and management training and well as marketing information and marketing aids.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

CMBA will focus on three major projects: Winter Conference combined with Motorcycle Show, SuperRide, and Annual Awards Banquet.

Other revenue will come from monthly dinner meetings (profit on dinner plus sponsorship) and sale of advertising in the monthly newsletter.

5.1 Strategy Pyramid

Our main strategy is the growth of membership. A large membership base provides revenue from dues and also positions CMBA as the true representative of the Connecticut motorsports industry.

The tactics to grow the membership are:

  1. At least twice-annual visits to all potential members within the state, and at least twice-annual telephone to potential associate members outside the state by the executive director,
  2. Creating value of membership to encourage potential members to join, and
  3. Building awareness of the Association and the value of membership.

Programs to support these tactics are:

  1. Association advertising and promotions to bring customers to member locations,
  2. Special events such as Winter Conference, Motorcycle Show, SuperRide, and Awards Banquet,
  3. Support and development of places for our customers to use their equipment and get training,
  4. Legislative and government agency activity and education, and
  5. Mutual legal aid and support.

5.2 Value Proposition

Our members operate with the knowledge and experience of many businesses over many years instead of trial and error. The opportunity to network with peers as well as industry and government leaders provides value far in excess of the cost of membership.

Our members share in the power of numbers when dealing with insurance carriers, distributors and manufacturers, and other vendors. They have the opportunity to tap into each others inventory for better customer service.

5.3 Competitive Edge

Dealing with highly independent small-business owners requires an aggressive presentation of the value of membership to encourage prospects to spend their time and money with the Association.

Direct on-site presentations by the executive director (and possibly members of the Membership Committee) accompanied by presentation materials that clearly demonstrate value of membership will be used to reach membership size objectives.

Increasing the meeting schedule from twice-yearly to monthly-–always at the same location and same day of the month-–will enable more members and prospective members to attend more meetings. This will build fellowship and trust among competing businesses to raise the standards of the whole industry. In addition, upgrading the newsletter to a monthly publication–-along with fax and email notices-–will improve the flow in critical information and raise the awareness of the benefits of membership.

5.4 Marketing Strategy

As shown by the Funding Forecast table and chart, the major sources of funding will each have its own strategic plan.

  1. The Winter Conference combined with the Motorcycle Show will be marketed to motorsports businesses throughout New England and New York. Planning the Conference and promoting it to the industry begins in July. The Motorcycle Show is either done in association with an independent show promoter or, lacking one, we’ll do it ourselves.
  2. Preparation for the annual SuperRide begins immediately after the previous SuperRide, soliciting early reservations by vendors and development of sponsors. Promotion to the general public begins after Labor Day and hits its peak in March.
  3. The Awards Banquet planning is already in place and will be marketed initially within our membership, then to the industry within Connecticut, and then to the motorcycling public in Connecticut.

5.4.1 Fundraising Programs

Our fundraising programs include monthly objectives with a financial bonus incentive to the executive director to exceeding each month’s objective. The executive director will report to the president and the board of directors each month, and the officers and directors will communicate among themselves, either by meeting or telephoning (also fax or email), at least once a month. The executive director will conference with the president at least weekly.

5.4.2 Funding Forecast

The following table and chart give a run-down on forecasted funding. With a full-time executive director in place, we expect first-year funding to jump dramatically over previous years and then grow incrementally as membership and member services increase.

Revenue assumptions are based on past history plus adjustments for this new initiative:

  1. Conference revenues are based upon conferences done in years past, enhanced by the support of the Association.
  2. Motorcycle Show revenues are based upon the past three years of experience, enhanced by new “partners.”
  3. SuperRide revenues are based upon ten years of experience, enhanced by the support of the Association.
  4. Awards Banquet revenues are based upon the best estimates of the committee members.

Totals $169,500

Management Summary

The initial management team consists of the board of directors and officers of CMBA working closely with the executive director. In addition, a professional lobbyist is employed to keep us appraised of legislative activities and to help us affect desired outcomes. Ultimately the work will be divided among committees and the executive director may need to add staff to the Association management team.

6.1 Personnel Plan

The following table summarizes our personnel expenditures (executive director and lobbyist) for the first three years, with compensation increasing from about $43K the first year to about $59K in the third. We believe this plan is a good compromise between fairness and expedience, and meets the commitment of our mission statement. The detailed monthly personnel plan for the first year is included in the appendix.

Personnel Plan
FY 2000 FY 2001 FY 2002
Executive Director $39,000 $44,000 $53,000
Other $4,200 $5,000 $6,000
Total People 2 2 2
Total Payroll $43,200 $49,000 $59,000

Financial Plan

  • We want to finance growth solely through cash flow. We recognize that this means we will have to grow more slowly than we might like but that no assessment of members or borrowing is necessary.
  • The most important factor in our case is attention to details and to the plan. Therefore, we need to develop a permanent system of communication and accountability between the executive director and the board of directors and officers.
  • We are also assuming beginning cash reserves on June 30th of $12,000 according the the Treasurer.
