3.0 Products To begin with, the products that The Lobby will provide will be Popcorn, Caramel Corn, and Cotton Candy as these items provide a highly profitable base to start from, and requiring less up front investment. The products will be developed in-house according to our family recipe. The supplies needed to produce these products will be obtained through Gold Medal, a leader in the industry. (www.gmpopcorn.com) One crucial aspect of or products comes from our ability to change the logo on the packaging to be customized to each event or customer. For example, the logo might read – “A very Special Thank You From Broadway Ford” or “ Happy Holidays from Jim Steele at First Interstate” or simply “It’s a Boy!.” This logo interchange-ability will be as important as the quality of sweets that it covers. We will be selling these products in small portions of 3.5oz. The Caramel corn will be $3.00, the popcorn will be $2.00, and cotton candy will be $1.50. For some of our customers who are reselling them we will also have caramel corn balls that will sell for $1.00. These items will be expanded upon with the addition of various flavors such as white cheddar popcorn and cinnamon caramel corn. Future plans for product expansion will lead to pralines, sugar and spiced almonds, eventually bulk candy and chocolate. This expansion will be mostly driven by customer needs, but it would be reasonable to expect that all will be available by the end of the year, in time for valentines day.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary The lobby will have a dual focus for targeting customers. We will primarily be focused on attracting recurring customers that will place an order once a week or more. These orders will provide a strong backbone from which we can grow and expand. The best customers for the company will be the ones that order every day or that order in large amounts, and as such they will be targeted immediately. The second customer group we will attract will be the customers that are non-recurring or place orders less than once a week. These customer will help us greatly expand our brand name. We will focus on these customers with an extremely high level of customer service, but as there will initially be less in amount and order volume they will have to be a very close second priority. The Lobby will maintain the family tradition of strong community involvement, and will also be actively be searching for ways to donate, sponsor, and give back to the community. 4.1 Market Segmentation We have one customer already - Autobrokers of Jackson in Driggs Market Examples: Recurring Customer Targets 9+ Movie Theaters 10+ Auto dealers 10+ Service Centers 20+ Realtors 100+ Mom and Pop Operations such as convenience stores, jewellery stores, ATV stores Supermarkets

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy The lobby will have a dual focus for targeting customers. We will primarily be focused on attracting recurring customers that will place an order once a week or more. These orders will provide a strong backbone from which we can grow and expand. The best customers for the company will be the ones that order every day or that order in large amounts, and as such they will be targeted immediately.

The Lobby will maintain the family tradition of strong community involvement, and will also be actively be searching for ways to donate, sponsor, and give back to the community. 4.3 Industry Analysis Since sugar was developed so many years ago human beings have craved it in a myriad of forms. This craving has given way to a thriving industry where we spend billions of dollars just to get a taste. This industry has survived even the harshest of economic environments. This industry is so powerful many other industries have turned to the power of sweets to augment their own profitability, movie theaters are a good example. Even with a good amount of competition the demand for candies, sweets, and snack for out weighs it supply. 4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns Their are many ways the consumer can get their hands on the various sweets, and because of this there is a certain level of competition. What our market lacks is the ability to get it on demand. Within the industry if you are going to make weekly deliveries to get the best price requires special paperwork from the bulk dealers. Even then you will usually have to wait a few days to get your product. This delay usually results with lesser quality of sweets. The best part about the competition is, that even if they are operating at 100% the demand for sweets is still wide open. After all "a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down."

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary Since the bulk of the machines needed to produce our products is already owned the initial start-up funding will be relatively small, $20,000. The funds will go primarily to the purchase of packaging, supplies, and securing a location. The obvious aim for The Lobby will be to open up and start making money as fast as possible. To do this we will have the following goals top most on our agenda. 1. Secure funding. 2. Secure a location, set up the machines, and prepare the supplies to open up business. 3. Research customers and plan the first wave of contact and customer development 4. Open up and start making money! 5.1 Competitive Edge Our biggest competitive edge comes from combining relatively cheap product, on demand delivery, and our "secret family recipe." This combination will virtually sell itself. Everyone needs a quick pick-me-up every now and again and in this economy especially getting it cheaply and with very little effort will blow away our customers. The lobby will be especially different from other companies in the aspect that we will be able to set up recurring orders as well as on demand delivery. The very nature of the location with several large populations close together will provide massive opportunities for growth. This competitive edge will give us sustainable value and high growth opportunities. 5.2 Marketing Strategy

The Main Marketing idea for The Lobby will be KIS - "Keep It Simple!" In the beginning we will provide several incentives to attract new clients, and as we expand we will delve into more elaborate marketing plans. The main source for our marketing will be from flyers and business cards. Each business card will be good for a buy one get one free. During the initial phase of start-up we will utilize the proven "Free Samples" method. We will canvas our targets and provide free samples to get them hooked on our "secret recipe." Our clients will be provided a small amount to see how they test for resale or for customer satisfaction. The cost in this type of a program will be very small due to the low cost of goods, but will attract a large amounts of customers. There will be a referral program in which clients will receive free product for referring new clients. Again we will keep it simple, the more people that try our "secret recipe" the more customers we will have. To keep track of these referrals we will simply ask where the new client heard of us. For the recurring customers that are using our product for resale, such as movie theaters and convenience stores we will depending on order size have a buy-back program. the program will simply work like this: Customer buys a tub for $2.50 if it doesn't sell in 2 days we buy it back for $1.50. All item bought back in this manner will be donated back to the community at one of the various non-profit organizations. These donations will be tax deductible to the amount of $2.50 per unit. Since the shelf life for these items is about 5 days, they can then sell them or give them away as needed. About the time we start expanding to pralines and other items we will look into radio and print ads.

5.3 Sales Strategy In the beginning prime market targets will be researched and approached. Using one of our marketing programs and a proven sales process the client will be presented our product line from which they can select which products they would like, then they will be able to set up a delivery schedule. As far as compensation goes, in the beginning their will be only The owner for employees. When the need for additional support arrives they will be compensated on an hourly basis with a bonus for new clients added. The order process will be simple they will be able to place an order over the phone, email, or online from our website. these orders will be processed the same day or the customer will be notified when the order can be completed. the official hours of delivery will be 10 am to 6 pm this will allow the morning to be saved for product creation and the afternoon for sales. The pricing structure will be $3.00 per 3.5 ounces of caramel corn, $2.00 per 3.5 ounces of popcorn, and $1.00 per bag of cotton candy. There will be a discount of $0.50 per unit for recurring customers, except in the case of Cotton Candy in which case the discount will be $0.25 per unit. The Cost to produce these product are $0.95 per unit of caramel corn, $0.35 per unit of popcorn ($0.40 per unit if flavored), and $0.18 per bag of cotton candy. All deliveries will initially be hand deliveries. For special events and large production needs special delivery times and pricing will be available but will not fall too far from those outlined from above. All moneys will be placed into the business account from which all expenses will be drawn. Product supplies, operation expenses, and loan repayment will be the top priorities for the moneys. 5.3.1 Sales Forecast The following chart and table show our present sales forecast. we project sales to grow at roughly 10% per year. We also expect noticeable jumps in sales when we expand our product line, the addition of a bulk candy line is an illustration of this. The numbers we have presented here are low estimates, it would not be unreasonable to expect much higher growth rates. Table: Sales Forecast Sales Forecast FY 2010

Glenn Myers - Local Attorney Mark Rohde - Local Entrepreneur Ethan and Carol Spring - Local business owners 6.1 Personnel Plan The personnel plan is noticeably blank, their will be no extra employees needed to start up with. In fact the need for an extra associate will not happen until we reach the state where we are consistently sell 100 Units a day or more. This will be completely customer driven I would expect within in the first year it would be likely that the need will arise. However it maybe in the first month, and because of this i have not forecasted for it. This forecast shows a situation where we perform less than expected, however unlikely. When we do take on an associate they will be paid an hourly wage. The best part is, if we are selling 100 or more units a day we will have more than enough money coming in to cover all payroll, insurance, and taxes from our profits.

7.0 Financial Plan To begin with the first month will be understandably the slowest month for The Lobby with an average of 30 units sold per day. However, due to the low cost of production even this slow we should be profitable within the first month. Every month thereafter I have a very low forecasted growth of 10%. It wound not be unreasonable to expect growth of 20% to 30%. The majority of the profits from the first year will go to paying of debts and becoming self-sustaining. The profit margin is high enough that we will even have enough to fund growth of our product line. The biggest growth within the first year will be the addition of the praline line of sugar and spiced nuts. This will be a significant boost to our profits. Initially we will be seeking funding from the private sector. In order to insure that our investors get their loans repaid we will be beginning loan repayment the first month and after the first months of operation a portion of the monthly profits will go to repayment in order to speed up this process. The bottom line is, The Lobby will be able to start with a relatively small amount of money. The Lobby will be able to show a profit within the first month, and also begin loan repayment that same month. The Lobby even in a worst case scenario will still be able to become self-sustaining and grow in the first year! 7.1 Start-up Funding The Start-up cost of The Lobby will consist primarily of equipment, supplies, and leasehold improvements. Mr. Rohde will invest equipment, benefits, and labor to start up. We will be seeking funding through a bank and through the SBA in the amount of $20,000.00. The amount allocated for leasehold improvement will go to bringing the site up to the standards of the health department.

7.2 Important Assumptions Important assumptions for this plan are found in the following table. As we will be seeking funding the rates in the following table are high estimates. 7.3 Break-even Analysis The break-even analysis shows that The Lobby has sufficient sales strength to remain viable. Our break-even point is close to 1,300 units per month and our sales forecast for the next year calls for almost 1500 units per month on average. Projections are detailed in the following table.
