...competitive advantage in the market place. “Market Segmentation and Product Positioning” Identify the marketing segment for the product and explain why this segment was selected. Tekale’s Beauty Salon will be targeting three dissimilar groups of clients. The salon will work hard to particularly appeal to each of these groups. Tekale’s Beauty Salon will target Women, Men, and Children. Men will characteristically create up to 75% of the clientele. Men have shorter hair and require a faster, simpler job. Tekale’s Salon will gear toward women who cannot meet the expense of an upscale salon. There is not often a dissimilarity in quality of an upscale salon comparative to a family hair salon other than a upscale salon will tend to pamper you more, only accepts appointments, and the salon it self is generally a bit plusher. Someone who is financially responsible as opposed to someone who likes lavishness will support a family style salon. Young mothers and children will also be welcome in my salon. Typically, children are disreputably complicated when is comes to getting haircuts. Tekale’s Salon will be a laid-back environment where children can have fun while they are waiting and we will work with parents to compose children while haircuts are perform.

...Trend Setters Christina Zabala Bus/210 September 7, 2014 Kenneth Harrell Trend Setters The business plan that I found to examine is for Hair and Beauty Salons to offer a girls day of pampering. As any business, this is a highly competitive industry with diverse target markets. With such diversity on the market, with an ever changing industry, hair salons must have an aggressive and strategic approach to maintain its desirable ambition. The important thing to starting any business is having a business plan and goal to attain and succeed, this can include the background of the business organization or simply using a swot analysis. A swot analysis is a technique that focuses on identifying the internal strengths and weaknesses of the proposed new venture. It also focuses on the assessing external opportunities and threats that the competitive environment will promote or impede the success of the new venture. The hair and beauty salon I chose to write my thoughts and analysis on is called Trend Setters. This was the starting of a new adventure with great potential for Curley, Co, co-owner with husband Roller Comb, Jr. in MyTown, Texas. Trend Setters beauty salon is a “full service beauty salon dedicated to consistently providing high customer satisfaction by rendering excellent service, quality products, and furnishing an enjoyable atmosphere with an acceptable price/value relationship.” It will also maintain a friendly, fair, and creative work environment which respected...

The content of this paper will describe the components of a strategic management process and indicate why strategic management is needed in a company, furthermore, a description of how General Electric (GE) uses strategic management process in their company. Components of a Strategic Management Process The first component is environmental scanning, which is basically gathering information from external and internal environments to key people within the corporation. Its purpose is to identify strategic factors that will establish the future of a corporation. An easy way of predicting the future of a corporation is through a SWOT Analysis. SWOT is used to describe the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for a specific company. The external environment consists of opportunities and threats (Wheelen & Hunger, 2008, p. 11). These variables happen outside the organization, which management has no control over. For instance, one company does not have the right to prevent another company of marketing the same product or service. Company A must strive to become better than other competitors.

...SWOT Analysis * Human Resources- Staffs Strengths: La Belleza Salon and Spa salon has 9 staffs. This indicates that the salon is not that big compared to known salons like Bench Fix, Davids’ salon and other salons who has branches in different cities. With this, having only 9 staffs is easy to manage and to communicate with staffs and the manager. The salaries expense is not that big as well because the salon has few staffs. Weaknesses: For the information that the market of the salon to where it is located consists of 8,000 residences living in that subdivision. Therefore, the salon doesn’t have enough staffs to handle with the market people they have. They will have hard time handling the customers especially when customers are coming in and out continuously. The customers won’t be patient enough to wait for their turn since the salon is new. * Physical Resources- Location Strengths: La Belleza Nail and Spa salon is new, so basically their equipments are also new. The furnitures and the interior of the salon are fresh so people would love to visit and try their services. Renovation is not needed. The salon is located inside a mall in village, we can tell that the rent expense would not cost much compared if they have their own establishment. Weaknesses: The salon is located inside the mall of the subdivision, so basically homeowners and residents are the one who will visit and be able to see the salon. The market people are 8,000...
