Wheelie Deals

Executive Summary

Wheelie Deals is a wholesale distributor that serves the retail bicycle industry.  Wheelie Deals will carve out a focused niche within this industry, providing closeouts, last-year models, and seconds.  Currently, most of the large wholesalers will occasionally have a closeout to offer, however, the availability of special deals is spotty.  Wheelie Deals will quickly become the #1 source to provide retail shops with above average margins.

Wheelie Deals is lead by Dan Psycle, MBA, a veteran of the bicycle industry.  Dan has modeled Wheelie Deals off of an already successful wholesale distributor business model and will quickly gain market share.  Profitability will be reached by month eight with comfortable profits by year three.

Market Analysis Summary

The retail bicycle market can be broken down into two segments, the independent bicycle shops and the chain bicycle shops.  Most bike shops are independent, however, there is a growing trend of bicycle shops being part of a chain.

4.1 Market Segmentation

The two segments that Wheelie Deals will be targeting are:

  • Independent bicycle shop. The large majority of bicycle retailers are independently owned sole proprietorships.  They are usually owned by one person and range from three to 10 employees, depending on the season.
  • Chain bicycle shops. Although chains are not the predominant business form, most large cities (over 200,000 people) have at least one chain serving the community.  Sometimes the chains are franchises with different owners, other times they are same owners with multiple stores.

The majority of sales will be to the independent bicycle shops, the reason being most of the chains have a very uniformed product offering that does not deviate for specials and closeouts.  The chains tend to value consistency of product offerings at the expense of profit margins.

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Potential Customers Growth CAGR
Independant bicycle shops 9% 12,458 13,579 14,801 16,133 17,585 9.00%
Chain bicycle shops 8% 8,045 8,689 9,384 10,135 10,946 8.00%

Total 8.61% 20,503 22,268 24,185 26,268 28,531 8.61%

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

Wheelie Deals will target the retail bicycle shops through three means:

  • Trade shows. Wheelie Deals will be visible at the two major industry trade shows.  75% of the retail bicycle shops attend at least one trade show a year.  The shows provide retailers an opportunity to view upcoming products and chat with a spokesman from the company, as well place pre-season orders.
  • Advertisements. Wheelie Deals will be advertising in Bicycle Retailer, the industry magazine.  90% of the bicycle shops in America receive a copy of Bicycle Retailer making the advertising opportunities especially valuable.
  • Website. Wheelie Deals will develop a website that includes a current catalog of their offerings.  This will be the most up-to-date source of product information and availability.  All advertising activities and trade show presence will highlight the website as an indispensable source of information.

4.3 Industry Analysis

Currently the industry is served by 10-15 different wholesalers.  Each wholesaler has their own niche to some degree, but generally they have a fairly wide product offering. Some or most of the wholesalers have a sale or closeout section, but this typically makes up a small percentage of their business.  It is well known that the margins in the retail bicycle industry are small;  30% for bicycles, 75% for components, and 100% for clothing.  Closeouts are a great way to increase store traffic and significantly helps out the shop’s bottom line with higher margins.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

The major competitors are:

  • Seattle Bike Supply: this is a national distributor with several warehouses spread out across the country.  Seattle sells closeout products, but they make up a small portion of their business.
  • Quality Bicycle Products: this is a relatively high-end bicycle component distributor that operates on a national scale, however, they only have one warehouse in Minneapolis, MN.
  • Riteway: this is a national wholesaler with multiple warehouses.  Riteway has an extensive product catalog and does offer a decent amount of closeouts, in part due to a minority holding of the GT bicycle company.

Bicycle retailers tend to favor one type of distributor for certain things.  Some variables that influence decision is price, availability, shipping time, and available terms.  The retailers will often use one main wholesaler and aggregate as much as possible into an order to save shipping costs.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Wheelie Deals sales and marketing strategy will be based on occupying an unmet niche in the retail bicycle wholesale industry.  Wheelie Deals will be a wholesaler only for closeout items.  This focus will allow Wheelie Deals to stand out relative to the other wholesalers in the industry.

5.1 Competitive Edge

Wheelie Deals’ competitive edge is specializing in the closeout niche.  Currently, there are no wholesalers that are specializing to a large degree.  Everyone carries a fairly wide range of products.  It is a clear advantage to be focused and only concentrate a specific niche.  By focusing on closeouts, retail shops can contact Wheelie Deals and always find products that offer nice margins, uncharacteristic of the bicycle industry. 

The trend of the industry in general is of consolidation.  By offering value-added services such as closeout items which provide the retailer with better than average margins, Wheelie Deals is developing value that creates a steady flow of customers.

5.2 Sales Strategy

The sales strategy will be intertwined with the product offerings.  It is of small value to have great closeouts if there is little demand.  By having a well thought out product selection, Wheelie Deals will significantly increase the chances of turning a prospective customer into a sale.  Wheelie Deals will emphasize the popularity and quick turnover of the items that they stock.  Wheelie Deals will shy away from items that may be a good deal but are a hard sell because they are likely to sit on the retailers shelf. 

Additionally, Wheelie Deals will have constantly changing inventory which will encourage shops to frequently inquire with Wheelie Deals.  Lastly, Wheelie Deals will have an email update service that will be sent to interested shops which is a “hotsheet” that details the current specials.

5.2.1 Sales Forecast

The first month will be used to secure warehouse space, set it up to accept inventory, and hire personnel.  During the first six weeks relationships will be established with many different manufactures of parts.  These relationships will be based on Wheelie Deals willingness to take all of their closeouts.  Typically, the manufacturer will call several distributors and eventually will find someone to take some, or all of their product.  Wheelie Deals increased willingness to take closeouts will create an incentive for the manufacturer to contact Wheelie Deals first.

Month three will mark the first decent month of sales.  It is forecasted that sales will steadily increase after this month.

Management Summary

Dan Psycle received a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Washington & Jefferson College. After college he worked in a bicycle shop as a mechanic but quickly moved to sales and finally manager all in a span of a year.  Dan stayed at the shop for two more additional years, learning all of the nuances of the bicycle industry.  By this time, Dan felt he had a comfortable grasp of the bicycle industry and now it was time for more schooling.

Dan moved out to Eugene, OR to pursue a MBA from the University of Oregon. A friend of Dan’s family had a wholesale distribution company for plumbing supplies.  Dan spent a week with this company to gain insight into the wholesale distribution industry in hopes of transferring this information into a distribution business for the bicycling industry.
