Competitive Comparison
Tempting Events, although young, draws from the age-old tradition of going above and beyond
what is expected, every time. Our systems for event planning have been drawn up, evaluated,
practiced, worked, and reworked to ensure the maximum efficiency while minimizing the
possibility of error. We employ local vendors who have the same desire to be the best at what
they do, while providing un-match able services. Thus, we give back to the community by
providing jobs outside of our organization. We encourage new and upcoming small businesses
that provide a service within our need base to step up to the challenge of being the best through
their contract with Tempting Events. Our products will serve the function of aiding those that
cannot afford the cost of an event planner. We wish to make our event planning tips available to
those who need a helping hand. Tempting Events is a member of the community. Through event
planning, Tempting Events gets the opportunity to laugh when the community laughs and cry
when the community cries, to rejoice when the community rejoices and to help put the pieces
back together when things change or begin to fall apart. We care about the things that have
meaning in the lives of our neighbours.

Market Analysis of Tempting Events

The following sections describe the market segmentation, strategies, and industry analysis.
Market Segmentation
The breakdown of the market for event planning falls in a wide, very diverse grouping.
Individuals as well as organizations demand the services we provide. In order to provide the
15

greatest depth of information, the market segments have been broken down into private and
public organizations, and age groups.
Private Organizations and Businesses
Private organizations make up the single largest portion of Tempting Events client base. Private
organizations such as businesses, corporations, and political parties host the most events on the
largest scales; therefore, these events generate larger revenues per event. The majority of larger
scale holiday functions will fall under this segment.
Public Organizations
Government agencies host many events every year. Tempting Events hopes to all alleviate the
pressure of event planning for public employees. The second single largest segment, the public
sector, can save money and give back to its community at the same time. These events are
moderate in scale with middle to low revenues generated. Emphasis is placed on the visibility of
the event for public viewing. The majority of organizational family functions will fall under this
segment.
Age Breakdowns

Under 24:

Persons under the age of twenty-four (24) using an event planner are rare at best. We hope to tap
the early college graduates who have begun their professional careers but have not yet started
their families. These events will focus mainly on themes with moderate to high energy appeal.
The revenues generated will range from moderate to high, depending on the event. The majority
of weddings will fall into this segment.

Ages 25-55:

The persons that fall into this age group are employed, middle to upper-middle class families.
The reason they choose event planners is they are too busy to do it themselves. Therefore,
Tempting Events will be on hand for questions, contact will be moderate in length but occur
regularly so as not to disturb the daily life of the families. These events will generate moderate
revenues, with a few generating low revenues. The majority of special occasion planning will
occur in this market segment.

Ages 56 and above:

Persons over the age of 55 have reached the turning point of life. Many are retiring, others are
celebrating anniversaries of significant years, and still others are seeing that their children's
special events are taken care of. These events will generate moderate to high revenues depending
16

upon the income level of the family (direct correlation to social status). Most holiday parties, and
other special occasions, such as wedding receptions and reunions, will occur in this market
segment.
Other
This segment has no direct information to compile for a description. It consists of any event
planned that does not fit into one of the above categories.

Target Market Segment Strategy


Our target markets are middle to upper-middle class families, couples, individuals, or private and
public organizations. We chose these groups because they are most able to afford event planners,
and have the least amount of time to spare for event planning in general. Families demand
attention, employees are overburdened, and over whelming detail needed to plan large events are
too large a constraint to place on people not trained in the area of event planning. The fast pace
of the world we live in leaves little time for extra things we would like to do, like plan events,
parties, and social get-togethers.
Tempting Events fills the need by being available to take on the burden of planning so that
people can spend time on more important things, like family and friends. The demand for this
service can only increase considering the rise in incomes, population, and need for interpersonal
relations in the workplace.

Service Business Analysis (SWOT Analysis)


Tempting Events is in a unique position of competition. We compete against hotels with
conference facilities, conference centres, other event planners both on the large and small scale,
persons within an organization who are assigned the task of organizing an event, and people who
wish to organize their own events without the benefit of assistance. The benefits and drawbacks
of each of our competitors as compared with the services we offer are hardly a match in quality
and price.

Strengths:

stays. Able to internalize costs of transportation and equipment.
Weakness:
Often very expensive, impersonal, rely on unskilled labour for support staff. The error rate is
high due to high volume and traffic from other events happening at the same time.
Other Event Planners
Strengths:
Have been in the market longer have established a reputation and client base.
Weakness:
21

Reputation precedes them, no systems-based businesses designed to produce consistent results;


focus on smaller events, specialized events are main focused rather than all events; do not have
the supporting products to market with, or instead of, event planning services.
Employees or Persons wishing to do it themselves
Strengths:
Internalized cost of planning the event; able to add tiny personalized touches that have meaning
within the group or family.
Weakness:
Consumes time that could be spent on other things; don't have an access to the best prices,
services, and other needed resources available.
Strategy and Implementation Summary
Marketing and Competition
We have discussed our client base as being predominately from middle to upper-middle class
and elite class individuals, couples or families, public and private organizations. We must then
look at the needs of these markets and cater to them. We promise the same and best results, every
time. When marketing to individuals, the idea of releasing them from the task, freeing their time
for family and friends, and the promise of a worry-free event are the buzz words and concepts.
Our marketing is predominantly by word of mouth or visual connection to large events these
individuals have participated in or worked at. When marketing to public or private organizations,
the idea of greater efficiency for the money and a professional event without error would be the
key concept. Groups, especially large ones, do not wish to deal with problems that arise due to
oversight on their part. If the guarantee of worry-free, error-free events is available at a cost
benefit to them, there really appears to be no better choice.
Sales Strategy
Tempting Events will deal with a diverse market of clients. Within each market segment, closing
of sales will differ. Each approach is described as follows:
Private and Public Organizations
Sales will be concluded one to two days after the end of the event. A follow-up phone call will be
placed informing the client of the total cost, number of attendees, and information about the
billing packet that will arrive at their offices. Feedback forms will be included in these packets to
ensure the client is being served as they deem appropriate. Form letter thank-you will be sent
following each event.
Individuals
Sales will be concluded with a follow-up phone call one to two days after the event. The phone
call will explain the total cost of the event, number of attendees, and information concerning the
billing. Individual parties of any age group are placed on a billing cycle. Invoices will be sent out
the 25th of the month and will be due the 10th of the following month. Feedback forms will be
22

included in these packets to ensure the client is being served as they deem appropriate. Thankyou cards will follow each individual event.
Sales Forecast
By beginning on a smaller scale, Tempting Events has the foresight to grow at a rapid pace to
keep up with demand. We wish to maintain a steady rate of sales growth; however, we
understand that sales of products and services will vary in different months. As noted in the
graph and chart, rapid increases during the holiday season will boost sales, then allow that
growth to level off at a steady rate.
Management Summary
Information and expense details are presented in subtopics Organizational Structure and
Personnel Plan.
Organizational Structure
The management team within Tempting Events will be small in the beginning. The primary
employee is the founder, who plans events, then contracts with caterers, decorators, disc jockeys,
and bands to fill out the event. A contract labour site manager will be on hand to work the events
as a liaison and vendor coordinator. Thus, there are two main employees with various levels of
vendors. When Tempting Events reaches its expansion goals, each office will have one to two
event planners, an office assistant, two to three site managers for the events, and a product and
marketing specialist. This team will function as one with constant communication through
weekly staff meetings, email, and message boards. All jobs are interrelated. The performance of
one affects the performance of the others; therefore, each team member expects nothing but the
best from each other. As it functions currently, we see no gaps in the management of this
organization. Should Tempting Events grow beyond its estimated size; more positions in
specialized areas will need to be added as well as additional site support and office assistance. To
fill these positions, Tempting Events is looking for energetic, teachable, detail-oriented persons
who want the potential to grow and improve their skills within the organization. Tempting
Events wants to be the best; therefore, they will hire those who want to succeed.
Financial Plan
Service-based businesses require little funds to start up, and as they grow and expand, less funds
to maintain. The charts and graphs that follow will show that investment upfront allows
Tempting Events to function debt-free with little overhead. This gives Tempting Events a
quicker break-even point and increased profit margins from the start. As Tempting Events
grows, the debt-free philosophy will be maintained until it is impossible to function during
growth periods without financial assistance.
Important Assumptions
Tax rates are noted for information. We carry no loan burden that would be affected by these
rates. What hits Tempting Events the hardest (but not nearly are bad as other service
businesses), is the tax rate of 23.5%, which is nearly one quarter of the total sales. As Tempting
Events continues to grow these numbers will be reference rather than influence.
23

Key Financial Indicators


The break-even point for Tempting Events is based on the assumption that we will produce 22
events per month and average approximately Rs.250000 per event. In the current situation, we
average more than this assumption for our public and private organization events. These
currently make up 18 of the 22 average events hosted per month.
Break-even Analysis
The break-even point will appear more rapidly for Tempting Events than for other types
of home-based businesses. Start-up costs are limited to minimal equipment, there is little or no
staff to pay in the beginning, and contracted companies will handle any additional equipment
required for the planned events.
(Graph)
Projected Profit and Loss
Leading the industry in event planning requires the use of the resources available at the lowest
cost. As noted in the table, we spend less money on overhead than other event planners with an
outside office or office space in their own facility. This saving swallows us to market in creative
ways and spend funds on expansion into other areas when the time is right.

DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

The main objective of conducting this research was to determine and analyze the factors that had a part to
play in Event quality and then because of this stress, effects on the Events. Primary data was gathered by
