Business Case: Penske And The Startup Company
Key Partner 1: I think it is genius to have U HAUL as a partner. Most people will think they are a competitor, but if they buy your startup company out, they would benefit because they will be able to sell the land they use as storage units. Penske also sounds like a great partner because they would be able to deliver items to households in different communities at a lower cost so you won't have to worry about scaling.
Customer Segments - Our customers SHOULD not solely be college students who want to store their belongings over the summer, but just anyone who wants to store their belongings. By only focusing on college students, I imagine the market is not as big as opening the business to a larger audience.
Key Resources - I cannot envision

The trust issue is important for our company, because we need people to be secured when they give their stuff to us. At the beginning of the company’s establishment, we will give people more benefits than they could imagine, like have free boxes, free transportation, and discount on the household. We will accurately choose the households, which would take longer time for research and examination, but the base of building up credibility is important. Therefore, we will have our advertisement on the reviews from our first customers. The household would get benefits too, because they can get a fraction of the profit which we have not established. We will also be more involved with our customers and households so that they won’t feel uncomfortable during the duration they are abroad. Our company is making a long-term goal to partner with amazon, u haul, and others in order to reduce land space that storage units take up and most importantly reduce carbon footprint because cost of transportation by air is not cost

    six full time residents and has a meager online presence consisting of only a website. The owners have recently bought another house with the goal of creating an additional adult family home and will soon be in need of six residents and at least four employees. Their current marketing strategies consist mainly of word of mouth and printed ads in local newspapers. This business could greatly benefit from growing its online presence especially during this vulnerable time of expansion. There are currently over 73,000 residents in Snohomish County over the age of 65 (United States Census Bureau, 2013). Online marketing would make it much easier and more economical to reach a growing customer base whose online focus and technological prowess continues to increase. The real customer is not the elderly person themselves. It is usually their children, often in their fifties and sixties, who are in need of a safe environment for their parents or loved ones to live where they can be assured that a high level of personal care and medical attention will be available. The idea of expanding online would be to market the business to a larger number of target customers than current marketing techniques are able to. An expanding customer base would allow the business to choose it’s residents based on level of care needed, matching personality characteristics with current residents, and those who can afford private pay instead of State pay. State pay…

    1. If I were starting a similar service, I would locate the business in Pensacola, Florida where I presently live. Florida would be the ideal place for the business in using the local credit union and having family members and friends here. To start additional stores in other states would depend on the state taxes, worker’s compensation, wages, and other legislation that should be taken into consideration. The building I would want to conduct my business would be leased. The lease building would allow funds to be used in other areas of the business whereas buying the building requires more.…

    This is where companies like the Virgin Group have adopted this kind of strategy to diversify their product line. Dixon (2009) explains what when building a customer base, it is a good idea to begin cultivating multiple customers in different industries. Then, this approach is modified to include target markets that have the countercyclical method that has been proven to work in the financial field. After targeting diverse groups of customers, companies (like the Virgin Group) should then engage in “aggressive marketing and sales efforts to win new customers in the targeted markets” (Dixon, 2009).…

    The Electoral College is a group of people who elect a president and vice president. It is described in Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution. The electors are not required to follow popular vote, so, candidates can win electoral vote and presidency and not win popular vote. It would be more politically and economically beneficial to the USA to keep the Electoral College and not let the public take full advantage of the votes because the public will most likely vote for materialistic reasons and not political reasons.…
