...Assignment 1 Market Analysis Nearly $35 billion are spent every year on weddings and receptions. Therefore, professional wedding consultants are a commodity, not a calamity. Signature Wedding Consultants are full-service wedding consultants that offer a variety of services to our clients. We pride ourselves on being professional and courteous at all times and we have packages to suit everyone's needs. As previously stated, marriage is a billion dollar industry, therefore, just about everyone we meet is a potential client. However, we mostly advertise to brides, grooms, and family members. Market Segmentation Although the flash and excitement of impending nuptials can be intoxicating, it can also be overwhelming. Therefore, we primarily market our services to the people who need them most--brides and grooms. In 1997, 2.4 million marriages took place in the United States. According to the Encarta Encyclopedia, the current US marriage rate of nine marriages per 1,000 people is still the highest rate among the industrialized countries. This marriage rate is expected to remain at the same level in the near future. In the Savannah, GA area where Signature Wedding Consultants plans to operate their business, over 1,500 marriages are registered each year, which creates a sizable market potential for this line of business. Another customer segment is represented by the numerous family members and guests attending weddings, anniversaries, and similar events. This segment requires event preparation...

...other. Although, the wedding ceremony has the same meaning in every culture, the way of celebrating is different. An Indian marriage is entirely different from an American wedding. Indian wedding involves family members followed by the traditions, functions, customs while an American wedding is all about the bridal shower, bridal party, the veil, kissing the bride, the groom's cake and the honeymoon. Indian weddings begin by searching for a bride or groom by one of the other family members as part of the arranged marriage. Before the wedding date confirms, the family requests a priest to match the two horoscopes of the couple. Which, determines if their married life would be successful or not. However, in the U.S, arranged marriage is known as a backward thing to do and is very rare among most recent generations. The bride and groom choose their life partner and they have full rights to make a decision for marriage. Indian wedding takes at least three days for a wedding sangeet (a small family gathering with music and dance), mehndi (henna applied to the bride's hands and feet) and the wedding day. Whereas, American weddings do not take too much time. On the contrary, American wedding arrangements are completed by the wedding planners. But, in Indian wedding the homes of the bride and the groom are decorated two weeks prior to the wedding while in America homes is not an important part of marriage as they don’t celebrate at home. In an Indian wedding, the bride must wear...
