One that comes to mind of the many that can go wrong is\nNot Knowing your Customer.\nThe more you are going to know about your Customer/Prospect\nand understanding their needs and desires, the better chance\nof success.\nTesting small groups also would be reccommend, this way you\nare not blowing your budget on mistakes.

Use your connections and ask people if they want to serve.  That failing, see if your community has any incubators.  That failing, call your local chamber of commerce and ask them if they can put you in touch with anyone in the same industry who is not a competitor.

I agree with experience first and foremost.  Secondly, consult with the SBA and any successful business owners whose brains you can pick.  There is much to know and do.  The majority of small businesses fail and it is due to the fact that people are not prepared for the realities of operating a business and don't have enough start up capital.

Worst type of marketing is this which is made by an experienced marketer.\n\nIn other words, marketing is not only tools of advertizing. Customer communication is a big subject but is part of marketing how to use it and how use effective communication tools is not that easy it needs an experienced marketer.\n\nThe marketer will first audit the market and put marketing strategies to fulfill objectives then plan, upply tactics etc..\n\n So it is not only a matter of advertising, it is a matter of researches long complicated ones that at the end will lead to choosing the tool of communication. Advertizing is just a little drop from the sea of marketing.

If you have to ask this question, you have no business making your own marketing plan. I apologize if this sounds harsh, but there's a good reason why the majority of food services fail. Most owners go into business thinking good products and service will make them successful when it's just not true. Effective management systems and marketing make a business successful, not products and service. Products and service must meet the expectations of a customer once they get in the door, but they will not be the reason for a customer's buying decision. People buy to fulfill emotions. Successful marketing campaigns are based on promising customers a certain feeling when they come into a business, then developing a unique selling point that helps deliver that feeling to the customer. This unique selling point and the feeling is then incorporated into every aspect of the businesses marketing. In a food service, that could include the food selection, menu design, store interior/exterior design, signage, advertising, letterhead and any other item that represents the business. Successful businesses do not sell products, they sell feelings.\n\nSome examples:\nMcDonalds does not sell hamburgers. McDonalds sells convenience to adults and fun to children.\nHard Rock Cafe does not sell food. They sell nostalgia.\nHooters does not sell wings. They sell sex.\nBurger King does not sell burgers. They sell accomodation (Have it your way).\nTavern on the Green does not sell gourmet food. They sell stature.\nSubway does not sell sandwiches. They sell health.\n\nThe SBA is a good resource, but even with the best "samples" in the world, an inexperienced marketer cannot develop a solid marketing plan. Even most marketing companies don't have a clue about solid marketing plans. They specialize in negotiating good prices on advertising, then reselling the advertising to clients for a profit.\n\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\n(316) 361-0675\nbodell1@cox.net\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com\n\nFree initial consultations

Cannot response to your message, no email address? Anyway, here's something for you - In society today quality plays an important role in customer satisfaction. A classic example of customer's being discouraged due to poor quality would be the case of Skoda cars. In the 80's and early 90's Skoda was known for it poor quality and this in turn affected both the brand image and also sales of the company. Once the Volkswagen Group overtook it in 1994, strategies have been implemented to put quality back into the product and to put the customer first.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance. TK

Lincoln Blackwood.  Ford Thunderbird.  Volkswagen Phaeton.  All failed to sell well.  \nAmerican Idol (a t.v. show is a product) has been enormously successful.  The Harry Potter book/movie stuff has been insanely successful.\nGood luck with finding others!

I would have to assume that it is not particularly good.\n\nOne of the key elements in any effective marketing plan is ensuring that not only is demand created, but that the consumer has some method of fulfilling this demand.\n\nThis posting shows a lack of understanding of this basic concept.\n\nHope this helps!

There's no magic bullet.  Offer something others feel is valuable that isn't saturated and then design a strategy to get the word out at a cost that allows you to make a profit.
