    0. Executive Summary

    We want to open a caf and are consider a business form that can meet the consumers demandand can contribute to the society. Deriving from the real demand of the market that young peoplenow are so busy with their work and the average age of getting marriage is also older, we think of an idea named Kupid Caf. Kupid caf is not as simply as a space for happy families andclose friends relaxing, but also a place for love matching.

    Love is very important to everyone, in any age. A family is also irreplaceable. According to theannouncement of The ministry of Culture, sports and tourism and Unicef, the average age of marriage in Vietnam has been increasing with both males and females, which of males hasincreased 2.9 years; 2.2 years with females. One of the main reasons is most of peoples timespending on their career so they do not have much time for their private life. Besides, theproportion of people getting divorced is increasing. Finding love of these seems to be difficult.Thus, our target segments are: youths (aged 18-22), young working people (aged 23-34) and thecustomers who are nearly middle aged but havent found love or have got divorced.

    In the meantime, the model like kupid caf doesnt still appear in Ha Noi, we are the first, sowe can make easy access to our customers and build a good image of our caf in customers. Wecan easily to make our caf become a strong brand kupid caf with a special service matching.

    Besides, we must meet the demand of going to caf with normal purposes: gathering to chat, talk,reading, relaxing, working with wifi, etc.

    In the future, we want to combine all demands together. People spend time with kupid caf astheir habit. kupid caf will become a bridge to connect people together. We hope that we canbecome the place reserving the memories of couples.

    We target the customers from upper middles class and higher classes. Our price will be equal anda bit higher than the average price of the market. The price of a drink will vary from 20,000 to80,000VND.

    Our revenue in the first year is estimated to be more than 900 million VND. We spend more than6000 USD for marketing, equal to 120,000,000 VND. Our promotion mix:

    - Advertising: on websites, forums, newspapers, etc. Our purpose is to make a hit, then the mainTV channels and newspaper will pay attention to us and talk about us because we are totally new

    and we can attract so much consumers attention.- Sales promotion: we apply discounts on special days, like the opening day, 14/2, 8/3 or 30/10.We also try to add new product choices every 2 weeks.

    year profit of 700 million Vietnamese Dong.

    matching will help busy people make appointments with someone, create talkingatmosphere . Therefore, we tend to businessmen and businesswomen who dont spendmore time on making friend, finding sweetheart.

    kupid caf is near Ho Tay. This place is crowded with many companies, organizationswith many famous caf, such as: May 22 caf , Delta caf , Nhan caf , Hoi caf , and etc.Each coffee house has its own style, making special point to stand out in Ha Noi. But

    these caf only serve drinks and spaces with live music and music , except of our matching service. Therefore, kupid caf will stand out by supplying extra servicesand many after-sales services . This requires other caf to have some strategies to keeptheir clients.

    + having successful couples thank to love matching services

    c) Marriage agencies and acquaintance services

    These agencies and services will promote many activities, consultancy services , andreduce fees for these services. They also carry on some marketing plan on TV, internet,SMS, etc

    These agencies and services can co-operate with coffee houses and coffee bar, in orderto offer matching model like us. But customers will pay more money. However,kupid caf recommends matching to you free, you dont have to pay any moneyto bear this service. All things you have to do are fill out our matching forms, andsupply us your profile ( hobby, orders, ideal sweethearts standards, etc)

    14. Uncertainties with the marketing plan

    a) Financial budgetAs we offer matching service in all the services in caf without requiring any fees,we still pay extra money to maintain this services. Therefore, financial resources of ourcaf are rather large, time to return on capital will be longer.

    We need to take careful consideration into the prices, as this prices cover all the costs of services in kupid caf .

    The costs of maintaining our web page, advertising cost, salary of marketing team mustbe estimate carefully.

    Specific financial plan and persuadable assumptions of finance

    Researching clear market and determine the targetsd) The reality of combining drinks+services

    Some prejudices against finding sweetheart through caf , people dont completelybelieve in cafs to find their lovers. Some people think cafs are the places gathering,chatting and playing, cafs cant give them private spaces to reading talking. Sometimes,meeting by chance cant assure the long-term relationships. Others show negativeattitude to cafs, marriage agencies and services.

    Nowadays , making friends, getting acquaintance, building relationships are popularthank to internet, phone call, introduction. Facebook, blogs,etc help us connect withothers easily and quickly. Therefore, our services may be out of date, we need to updatesand continuous changes to adapt the fast pace of lives. Sometimes, people want tounderstand each other more, this requires a long time. And meeting at caf may becomeboring . Therefore, they can be regarded as potential clients. On the other hand, peoplecome to us because of drinking, spaces and service atmosphere.

    We always feel sure that basic services must be good and impressive. We arent allowedto depend on matching services to keep customers.
