Jungle Zone Paintball

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Customer service is paramount in the paintball business. The starting point to accomplish this is to have a trained and motivated staff that enjoys working directly with the public. It is always easier to please your customers when the facility is exceptional and all of the equipment is in proper working order.

The satisfaction of the league players is the best marketing vehicle we have in building a loyal customer base.

5.1 Competitive Edge

Jungle Zone Paintball’s competitive advantage over its potential competitors is the following:

  • Location. The facility is located right off I-5 exit 265B and near the new Raphael Shopping Complex and Lawrence University. The new shopping complex will become a common destination for the area’s residents and Jungle Zone Paintball will benefit from the road improvement that the shopping center has created.
  • Low overhead cost. Jungle Zone Paintball’s management will keep overhead cost at a minimum. First, during resurfacing of the facility, John Martin will be project manager, saving approximately 15% of construction costs. His experience at operating paintball facilities will contribute to his ability to streamline operations while minimizing unnecessary expenses.
  • Wide range of game options. Jungle Zone Paintball will provide our customers with multiple playing fields (indoor and outdoor) and changing game scenarios that will be tailored to group skill. This diversity will bring in more customers and assure their satisfaction with the experience.
