1. Marketing Strategy
Smartcrew4you's marketing plan will be based on a communication campaign andstrategic alliances that will raise awareness of the value Smartcrew4you offers. To
reach individual customers, an advertising campaign will be undertaken in the
Internet, Golden Pages as well as the local newspapers.
The advertising campaign will be supported with a strong strategic alliance effort to
develop relationships with the retrofit companies. These relationships will beinstrumental in generating a steady flow of business from the retrofit company’s pool
of clients. The relationships will be formed through general networking, creating a
working relationship between Smartcrew4you and the retrofit businesses. Once a
relationship is formed, Smartcrew4you will develop financial incentives for theretrofit businesses to use Smartcrew4you with their clients. While this will be labor
intensive initially, once a solid relationship is developed, it will amply pay for it self
in the future business that it develops.
1.1. Critical Issues
Smartcrew4you is a start-up business. Its critical issue is to only expand at a rate
that is designed to serve the customer. Expansion should only occur when it isrequired to meet the needs of the current customers, not theoretical, future
customers. It must take a fiscally conservative approach, recognizing that it takestime to build reputation and goodwill within the community. If this is done
effectively, over time, the business will flourish.

1.3. Target Market Strategy
SmartCrew4you will focus on two market groups within the industry:
1. Non Residential (Commercial) segment (including buildings used for professional purposes).
2. Residential segment (excluding apartment buildings - first year).
Commercial segment
The non residential market requires the shortest amount of time to completion of projects and usually the least amount of customization. Since our projects
impinge upon business profitability, it is absolutely crucial for our project
foremen to maintain schedule and keep the customer apprised of the project's
progress. The commercial segment will be limited by building height (multi-story building).
2. Residential segment
Although the above is also true for the residential owner, time is not as critical,quality and meeting the needs/wants of the client come first in the residential
segment. The client is often willing to wait a little longer to have the project done
to his/her specifications. The project foremen must be willing to be more flexibleand willing to listen to the client.
The company can handle any residential building that needs its services (we arelimited by height multi-storey apartments in the first year). The residential
segment is considered to be the company's cash cow Even during the slow

campaign. This campaign will rely on ads in the local newspapers, Golden Pages,
Internet, and door to door sale.
2. Marketing Mix
Smartcrew4you's marketing mix is comprised of the following approaches to pricing,
distribution, advertising and promotion, and customer service:
• Pricing- The pricing scheme will be based on the size of the building as well as thelevel of comprehensiveness that is desired.
• Distribution- All services will be provide on-site within a 50-mile radius of the city
Dublin in first year
• Advertising and Promotion- To reach individual customers, an advertising
campaign will be undertaken in the Internet, Golden Pages, door to door sale, and the
local newspapers.
• Customer Service- Smartcrew4you recognizes superior customer service isrequired for success and this will be constantly emphasized.
2.1. Product Marketing
The service itself is a key component to our marketing mix. Our service should be our best advertisement. In this case even more so than with many other businesses, we have to develop contacts with people who can be our
recommenders

Of the approximately 356,000 houses completed between 1992 and 2001,
approximately:
• 100,000 were detached
• 213,000 were semi-detached/terraced
• 43,000 were apartments
We can therefore estimate the incidence of BER ’s according to building type as set
out in table below.

Market forecasts
Given current installation rates it is estimated that only 15% of existing solidwall properties will be insulated by 2020 unless there is major acceleration of
solid wall insulations and possible market transformation
Greater emphasis in Government schemes needs to be put on solid wallinsulation and market transformation needs to be backed up with vigorous
promotion, financial incentives and product innovation
Research is required to provide more robust data on domestic solid wallinsulation, in particular costs, the value of the industry, installation rates, barriers to growth, trends and forecasts. There is also a need for a product
audit to detail the different solid wall insulation systems available, their
characteristics, benefits and applications.
