profit for the business owner. The running of this business will also help the owner get to put her
skills and knowledge into practice.

intends to position the business to be one of the leaders within the region. The business will start
as a small scale business, with the owner or proprietor having the intention of expanding it
further so as to grow into a big entity.
1.1. BUSINESS NAME
The business name will be “Brenda’s Juice Bar”. The choice of this name follows the name of
the Proprietor. As such, the Choice of the name seeks to impart ownership of the business on
the part of the proprietor. The proprietor also finds this name to be appealing, for marketing
purposes.
1.2. BUSINESS LOCATION AND ADRESS
Brenda’s Juice Bra shall be located in Kimilili Town, Bungoma County. Specifically, the shop
would be stationed at the Kimilili Town along the Bungoma Kitale Road famously known as
“Dinah” Junction. The choice of this are as a business location is informed by a number of
factors. First, the area is known for relatively high population, increasing the probability for
having many customers. Being a central place for travellers also makes it suitable for the kind of
business, given that travellers are likely to want to get something to take as they get o their
various travelling destinations.
The business with trade under the following address:
BRENDA’S JUICE BAR
P.O. BOX 122
KIMILILI
0797081647
1.3. FORMS OF BUSINESS OWNERSHIP
The Business will run a sole Proprietorship. By this, the owner will be the Manager, overseeing
the day to day operations of the business. The choice of this form of business is informed by a
number of reasons:
1. Sole proprietorship would enhance or provide room for quick decision making
2. Will need relatively small or little capital to start
3. The proprietor would be good enough to enjoy the profits alone
4. It will give the owner, me the chance to run it in the manner I would wish to
Brenda Juice Bra will be majorly a retailor type of business. By thus, the proprietor would be
selling her goods directly to the consumer. This s informed by the fact that the owner would be
meeting her customers directly. It is also informed by the shelf life of the products being offered,
much of which would require to be sold within a relatively short period, even with refrigeration.
The major day to day activity will be the preparation of the main juice commodities and the
selling of them directly to customers.
Brenda’s Juice Bar will be focused in the production and selling of Major Fresh Juice Products.
This would include selling of Blended Juice, together with Cocktail made from various fruit
products. . The focus of Production would be on a number of major Juice including; Pineapple,
Mango, Strawberry and Passion among others. The products shall be provided at relatively
affordable prices with discounts afforded, depending on the quantity required by customer.
In the recent Times, Kimilili Town has been growing extensively, with businesses booming.
The food sector has also not been left behind, with High Class, Medium and Low-cadre For
venues and hotels coming up. Even so, the Juice sector has not been well tended to, with
majority of these Food let-out’s not giving it a priority. Customers are finding it hard to get
high quality fresh juice, forcing many to rely on suppliers from other major towns so as to
quench their thirst. As such, the fresh juice sector remains untapped, presenting a viable
opportunity for the proprietor to venture into this sector. It is worth noting that the Proprietor
also has necessary basic skills on Beverages and Food, making this an option that is relatively
good for the proprietor.
1.7. GOALS OF THE BUSINESS
The venture is designed to be the largest and leading Juice Bar in Kimilili town and the
Surrounding metropolitan area. Even so, the proprietor has it that it should have as few
employees as possible. This s meant to cut down on operational costs and at the same time
increase the profit margin for the proprietor.
Long-term Goals
It is the intention of the entrepreneur that at the end of the year, the business would have grown
into a very formidable brand. This would translate to having the capacity to purchase raw
products in large qualities. Prepare huge volumes of fresh juice and have large volumes of Juice
sales on every particular day.
The proprietor intends to have a simple yet strategic entry strategy. As matter of fact, this
strategy would put in mind the nature of the industry, business location and customer
preferences. The proprietor acknowledges the fact that hers would be a business that would be
starting from scratch. As such, there would be need for a simple yet strategic method through
which information on the existence of the business would be made known. This is basically
through use of leaflets, suiting the neighboring businesses and probable close customers. The
second tool would be direct advertisements through writings on the premise, for which customers
would see the business and get in.
The mangers intend to grow further, through obtaining necessary loan facilities. This should be
good enough to help her in future open many more branches within the region, particularly in
Bungoma County.
1.9. INDUSTRY
The success of any business depends on number factors, yet understanding the industry if often
ignored. The Fresh Juice Industry, particularly that of sales is not that saturated as may be the
case in other towns. In Kimilili Tow, there are few than 7 outlets offering Fresh Juice as the
Primary Business product. Most of the other outlets offering Fresh Juice to customers are
mainly hotels. Even in most of the hotels, Fresh Juice is offered only on order, forcing many
clients to opt for refrigerated Bottled Juice such Afia, Minute Mia, Yatta and so forth. Putting
Brenda’s Juice Bra on the map would definitely be a game changer, one that acknowledges the
challenges facing the industry.
CHAPTER TWO;
Brenda’s Juice Bar is looking forward to supply its products to nearby schools and institutions
within Kimilili area. It is the vision of the proprietor that the main Milk Bar or Parlor would be
frequented by many people, especially during the weekends, one of the major groups targeted by
the business. Some of the factor which favor this includes;
2.1. CUSTOMERS
With good and intensive marketing, Brenda’s Juice Bar intends to serve a relatively large
customer base in the area hence boosting the chances of success.
Brenda’s juice bar seeks to be a dominant player in the market. By the end of the year, the
business seeks to have at les 32% of the total Fresh Juice market in the region. This is through
provision of affordable, high quality fresh Juice Products.
2.3. COMPETITION
There is expected competition for Brenda’s Juice Bar. By this, the proprietor understands that
the business cannot function without considering what the competition or the competitor does.
Whereas the business considers the exiting competition, much of these have different model of
operation, with majority of them falling under the Hotel Cover operations. For purposes of
countering such competition, the business will seek to position itself as a Specialist in
Production and Supply of Fresh Juice, unlike having this as just one of the other products being
offered by Brenda’s Juice Bar. There will be a number of Branded categories of products
offered by Brenda’s Juice including: Juice it Up, Jamba Juice and Bowl of Heaven.
The business has to understand the market and he reality that pricing does affect the supply and
demand of the core products. The supply of Juice is the market is relative to the prices offered
by player in the market. As such, the pricing strategy adopted by Brenda’s Juice Bar will be a
Break or Make on as it will determine whether the organization will grow or not. As a matter of
fact, the company seeks to gain leverage through putting in place price that is attractive to the
customer. Looking at the Economic Status of many residents and would be consumers of the
organizations products, it is worth noting that the organization would prefer to have low prices,
so as to increase the volumes supply and increase demand for Juice products within the market.
Whereas the profit ratio will reduce per unit, the volume of sales will vindicate the proprietor as
to why they should use this strategy.
Being an a Juice Production and sales Company, much of the marketing has to be done through
the online system and direct mouth to mouth advertising. This plan proposes that a number of
approaches be used as part and parcel of the marketing strategy, this would include:
1. Search Engine Optimization- Will be realized through liaising with major Search Engine
2. Public Relations; This would include various initiatives aimed at spurring the positive
image of Brenda’s Juice Bar, Includes initiatives that are largely charity related. Would
be one of the marketing strategies that are not directly accessed through online platforms
alone.
3. Affiliate Website Partnerships, includes partnering with other companies, not necessarily
within the same sector so as to bolster image and positioning of Brenda’s Juice Bar in the
4. Print Advertising; Advertising through mainstream print media will be an important way
or reaching out to masses, many of whom may never have thought of login into the
5. Pricing Strategy; Brenda’s Juice Bar would be managed and run through the low-price
strategy, one aimed at spurring and or initiating numerous purchases, thanks to the
relatively low prices. With low profit margins and high sales volume, the company will
6. Incentives. Giving periodical incentives such as ‘Brenda’s Juice Bardays’ and ‘Brenda’s
Juice Baroffers” with help increase demand and create a bandwagon-effect to joining and
For purposes of initiating or pushing up demand for her products, display would be taken as an
important marketing factor, as such, upon entry into the sites main page, a consumer will be
provided for with sample general household products running through the middle of the front
page (Reginald, Norman & Stanislous (2011). This will include brief details such as the name
The distribution o the products is as good as any other measure, given that customers would
readily want to buy products, yet the availability of the same would a major determinant. As a
matter of fact, the business will seek to grow though provision of her products closest to the
customer. It is expected that 40% of consumers would pick u products directly from the main
Shop at Kimilili Market. It is also expected that other customers buying products in Bulk would
be able to pick up the same using lorries and other vehicles from the main distribution center in
Kimilili.
The diagram below shows how Brenda’s Juice Products shall be distributed from the producers
to the customers.
The products shall be provided at affordable prices, discounts shall be offered where necessary
especially with respect to the volume of products and or juice purchased. Frequent customers
are likely to be given more discounts as they are n assurance of sales for the company.
