? the need for outsourcing created by downsizing, and
? the burgeoning service economy.
The Internet and rapid growth of e-commerce have certainly created changes in the process of buying books and CD's, trading stock, delivering information, and bidding on collectibles. Where do you see the next process to be transformed in a major way by the Internet?
Let's do a brief case study in opportunity:
Neighborhood Coffee Shop
I live in the eastern section of town, which is growing rapidly cheap air max 97 outlet , and food and business services are not quite keeping up. The "East" is fairly isolated from the rest of the city by water, an interstate highway, and an industrial park, forming a separate and distinct market. "People" are saying that the East desperately needs a good coffee shop. (Who are these people? Are they just in our immediate circle? Are they representative enough of the area to extrapolate from?)
Let us analyze some factors which indicate the opportunity potential of an idea:
* The "window of opportunity" is opening, and will remain open long enough.
We cannot be the only entrepreneurs that perceive these opportunities. How long before the need becomes compelling enough for others to jump in?
* Entry is feasible, and achievable with the committed principals.
Two friends want to be partners with me in a venture; one is managing a coffee shop across town air max 97 china outlet , and willing to manage a startup. Between us, we could muster the capital for a coffee shop.
* The proposed venture has some competitive advantage.
We were among the first to locate in the new area, and are very active in the local business community. We know of an ideal site, and the building manager is a friend. She is willing to sub-contract the beverage and light-mealdessert services the building provides tenants.
* The economics of the venture are "rewarding and forgiving."
Materials costs are a small percentage of revenues; site preparation and equipment costs are minimal.
* We can break even at what seems to be an easily achievable volume.
We may even want to consider a more upscale atmosphere based on what some say is the difference between a "coffeehouse" and a "coffee shop:" About two bucks a cup? A coffee shop is a place to grab a quick bite and a cheap cup of coffee.
Eric Gerber of the MSN Network's Sidewalk suggests that "A coffeehouse is a place to wax philosophical - Mozart or Bach, Faulkner or Fitzgerald, Xena or Hercules? - while seeing just how complicated you can make a simple drink like coffee: double latte espresso-chino with half decaf Jamaican Blue Mountain dark roast wholesale air max 97 outlet , extra low-fat foam and a Frangelica drizzle, please."
The conditions for starting a neighborhood coffee shop seem favorable, but there must be more that we can do to critically evaluate the venture while improving our chances of success. That "more" is market research, and do not leave the business launch pad without it!
