3.0 The MarketExplanationDescribe the general characteristics of the distinct segments of prospects that make up the market for your offerings. Factors to consider:
Sample from CitiLoc, Inc.Our market involves two segments; cities and businesses. The cities will provide about 10% of our service income with businesses providing the rest.Cities will find this of value because they will be able to present their information in a format specifically designed to assist and attract businesses. Businesses will derive great value from the service because, from a single source, they will be able to evaluate all of the major cities in the United States against a wide variety of selection criteria. Our objective is to have over 500 cities represented in our data base and between 1,000 and 2,000 businesses using the data base annually to assist in their location of a new operations site. The modern business world is focusing on communications and information technology as the driving force for growth. Support for this growth involves production of communications equipment, data storage equipment, computers (and related technologies such as chips, monitors, etc.), software and much more. Because these businesses are accustomed to using high-tech solutions for their business, we believe they will embrace our service when planning their expansion. Alternatives, such as individual city web sites and city information packets represent competition, however the benefits of our centralized data base of all the cities far outweighs the effort involved in using these alternatives. |
