4.1 Market Segmentation
The market for Gastronome Gander’s Gatherings is single adults in their late twenties to late fifties. These singles should have above-average income and generally have some college education or degrees. We aim our events at people who have disposable income and enjoy spending that money on their entertainment.
While we have indirect competition with other singles groups, we believe that their focus tends to be on match-making/dating or they have a specific focus such as religion or nature (e.g., Sierra Club’s singles group).
The market analysis table was derived by finding the populations for each area (Census data) and then determining the percentage that are single. Next, based on the census data, an estimate of the number that are in the appropriate age bracket was calculated. Lastly, an estimate of income was performed to derive the final figure. For example, in Gourmandeville, the total population is 687,708, where approximately 61 percent are single or 419,502. Of these, approximately 45 percent are between the ages of 25 and 60, or 188,776. Lastly, 70 percent have an income greater than $35,000, for a total of 132,143 people.

The people in Washbourne tend to reflect more conservative ideals and have professional sports teams competing for leisure dollars.

4.3 Service Business Analysis
Many singles groups and matchmaking concerns have emerged in recent years, especially with the rise of the Internet. However, many singles do not want the pressure of matchmaking at every social event. Our target market, singles in the late twenties to late fifties age range, may find it difficult to meet new people after college or if they were previously married. Our events provide a strictly social function where singles can interact without the pressure of long-term commitments.
Gourmandeville is known for supporting local businesses over national chains. While not a major factor in business success, this local support can be helpful.
4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns
Various websites promote singles groups in Gourmandeville, such as Gourmandeville Singles, Gourmandeville Midlife Singles, Metrodate, and Gourmandeville Solosingles. These websites provide listings for numerous singles groups, including sports groups, religious groups, dance groups, speed dating, travel groups, single parents, and singles over 50.
Most singles groups are aimed at dating and matchmaking, while others cater to specific interests. Gastronome Gander’s Gatherings does not have direct competition with these groups, but we must market our unique differences to attract people looking for a more relaxed and social alternative.
It is important to note that "Gourmandeville Singles" refers to an escort service and is not considered our competition.
Strategy and Implementation Summary
Emphasize service: Differentiate ourselves with exceptional customer service, offering a clear and viable alternative to other dating services.
Build a relationship-oriented business: Focus on building long-term relationships with customers, becoming their preferred choice for events and socializing.
Focus on target markets: Concentrate on specific population groups that align with our key market segment. Offer an alternative to the dating/matchmaking scene and supplement existing dating services.
5.1 Competitive Edge
Our competitive edge lies in our unique differences from other singles organizations:
– Upscale events related to food and wine, offering a high degree of variety
– No match-making or dating pressure on members
– Extensive customer service, including e-mail event directions, personal greetings, name tags, and prompt follow-up on questions or issues
Our main objective is to position Gastronome Gander’s Gatherings as the premier niche singles’ social event provider in Gourmandeville, South Downes, and Washbourne. We will create customer awareness through our website, networking with media and business people, and written promotional material. Specific advertising will also be used, considering price, target audience, and potential payback.
5.3 Sales Strategy
Competitive Edge: Our relaxed atmosphere and focus on food, wine, and fun provide a unique appeal for singles to meet and form connections.
Sales Strategy: Emphasize the relaxed atmosphere of our events to potential members. Differentiate ourselves from other singles groups by promoting our niche in the market: meeting other singles without the pressure of matchmaking. Utilize online membership forms and incentives for current members to bring in new people. Maintain a database to track members and facilitate event planning.
5.3.1 Sales Forecast
We expect membership to grow by 20 people per month, with an 80% renewal rate and 25 new members per month in future years. Gross revenue is based on the number of events per month, starting with four events and increasing to five or six events in the second and third years. Profit per event is expected to range from zero to a few hundred dollars initially, increasing to $500 to $1,000 per event as membership and margins improve. Marketing costs are expected to level off as networking and word-of-mouth become more effective.
Other factors, such as the economy and job losses, may impact membership numbers. However, we believe that with effective marketing, customer satisfaction, and networking, we will surpass these forecasts.

Our sales growth, as a percentage, is exceptionally high due to the figures being the first two years of operation. Therefore, by comparison to low first-year numbers, our percent increase will seem extraordinary. Our assets are lower than industry averages due to the initial investment being small, most of the equipment being expensed, and the small size of Gastronome Gander’s Gatherings in relation to other companies within this sector: Recreation Services, SIC Code 7999.9912. Our total liabilities are higher than other companies but improve rapidly. If additional investment is acquired instead of secured loans, this will help us keep liabilities to a minimum.
