2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
AESPGIBM, Ahmedabad
Brand Awareness and Feasibility Study 2.1 BRAND AWARENESS The act of creating public awareness of a specific brand in order to maximize its recognition, successful brand awareness strategies should define a company's uniqueness and set it apart from competitors. Quite simply, if potential customers do not know about a company, they will not purchase from it. Therefore, one of the preeminent goals of any business should be to build brand awareness, albeit in as cost-effective manner as possible. Consumers tend to make purchasing decisions based on peer recommendations and direct experience, as well as traditional advertising methods. This is why it is necessary to build brand awareness strategies out by instilling trust among consumers. This trust must be achieved through credibility, rather than just a catchy advertising campaign. Promotional marketing involving a one-to-one component is proving increasingly effective at building trust and acquiring new customers. Online brand awareness strategies are used frequently, albeit with differing levels of success. These online brand awareness strategies can include the use of advertising including banners, sponsorships, and email/newsletter advertising, online PR, affiliate marketing, etc. Brand awareness is an important way of promoting commodity-related products. This is because for these products, there are very few factors that differentiate one product from its competitors. Therefore, the product that maintains the highest brand awareness compared to its competitors will usually get the most sales.
AESPGIBM, Ahmedabad
Brand Awareness and Feasibility Study A feasibility study is a preliminary study undertaken to determine and document a project's viability. The results of this study are used to make a decision whether to proceed with the project, or table it. If it indeed leads to a project being approved, it will - before the real work of the proposed project starts - be used to ascertain the likelihood of the project's success. It is an analysis of possible alternative solutions to a problem and a recommendation on the best alternative. It, for example, can decide whether an order processing be carried out by a new system more efficiently than the previous one. A feasibility studys main goal is to assess the economic viability of the proposed business. The feasibility study needs to answer the question: Does the idea make economic sense? The study should provide a thorough analysis of the business opportunity, including a look at all the possible roadblocks that may stand in the way of the cooperatives success. The outcome of the feasibility study will indicate whether or not to proceed with the proposed venture. If the results of the feasibility study are positive, then the cooperative can proceed to develop a business plan. A feasibility study could be used to test a new working system, which could be used because:
The current system may no longer suit its purpose, Technological advancement may have rendered the current system obsolete, The business is expanding, allowing it to cope with extra work load, Customers are complaining about the speed and quality of work the business provides, Competitors are now winning a big enough market share due to an effective integration of a computerized system
This will include analysis of single and multi-dimensional market forces that could affect the commercial, along with the company that is carrying out the feasibility achieving more and more reputation as they have carried out safety checks which allow the system to run appropriately. Feasibility study should examine three main areas: AESPGIBM, Ahmedabad
2.2.1 Market issues: The primary area that the feasibility study needs to address is potential market opportunities for the cooperative. If an adequate level of demand does not exist for the product and the company does not know how to differentiate its product so that it can compete with established industry players, then the proposed venture should not be pursued. Questions that need to be answered in this area of the feasibility study include:
What type of industry is the company planning to enter? What are What are the possible target markets for the companys product?
What demographic characteristics do they possess? How large are these markets? Where are they located? Is the market expected to grow in the future?
Will the company be competing in a mature industry or a growth Who are the companys competitors in this market? How large are
industry?
these competitors? How established are they? How do they price their goods? How will these competitors react to the entrance of the company?
How will the company differentiate its product from those of its
competitors? What are the competitors strengths and weaknesses, and how would the company compare against them? How does the company plan on gaining market share?
Data that can help to answer these questions may be found in already-published information or through primary research activities such as market surveys conducted on AESPGIBM, Ahmedabad
Brand Awareness and Feasibility Study behalf of the company. Relevant information may be found through various sources such as government statistical publications, trade journals, industry reports. The Internet has also opened up new routes to obtaining information. The answers to market-related questions should help the company develop realistic estimates of the projected demand for the companys product for the first several years of operation. Based on this projected demand, the company can determine its anticipated level of business volume, which is needed in order to design the processing facilities. If the projected business volume is not large enough to justify a processing facility, then the project is not feasible.
2.2.2 Technological and organizational requirements: This area concerns the internal set-up of the cooperative. Questions to be answered in this area include:
produce its product? What are the costs involved? This includes the initial purchase and installation costs of the equipment as well as the operational costs of running the equipment.
Who are the potential suppliers of this equipment? Where are they
located? What sort of service and warranties do they provide? How long will it take to acquire the equipment and begin operations?
Based on its projected business volume, how much raw product will
be required by the company? What are the quality specifications? Will the company have a sufficient membership base that can provide the raw materials?
AESPGIBM, Ahmedabad
What are the possible locations for the companys facility? What
size of facility is needed? What are the costs of the building? Does the proposed location have adequate access to infrastructures and services such as major highways, railways, and utilities? Will the company build its own facility, or purchase an existing location?
customers? Who will be responsible for the transportation of goods between the facility and the market? What is the transportation costs involved?
business? How important are delivery contracts and a fixed source of supply to the success of the business?
What qualifications are needed to manage these operations? What What type of experience should management have? Are there
potential candidates available to fill such positions? What will be the cost factor involved in finding and retaining acceptable candidates?
AESPGIBM, Ahmedabad
Brand Awareness and Feasibility Study 2.2.3 Financial overview: Based on the estimates that have been gathered from the preceding sections of the study, the company needs to determine its overall financial situation. Sources and uses of financing should be listed. Questions such as the following need to be considered:
operations? For instance, what are the capital costs of the land, plant and equipment, and other start-up costs such as legal and accounting costs?
What are the operating costs involved? These include the daily
costs involved in running the business, such as wages, rent, utilities, and interest payments on outstanding debt. These will determine the cash flow requirements of the company.
Based on the estimated demand, what are the companys revenue What are the possible sources of financing for the company? Who
are potential lenders? What will be their required terms and limitations of borrowing?
profit (loss) of the company? What is the break-even point? If the results of the feasibility study indicate that the proposed venture is economically viable, then the company can begin to develop a business plan.
