Product selling price: $19.41 Markets: Our target market can be described as the
power elite. The current size of this market is 8.3 million
consumers with an annual market growth of 1.5%.
Revenue will be generated through Internet sales of our
high standard oleophobic treatment.
Distribution Channels: We will be directing our distribution mainly through our website with USPS mailing
our product to consumers. Throughout our first five years we will continue to sell our product directly to our
customers primarily through e-commerce.
Competition: Our potential competitors include companies such as Walgreen's and Zeiss optics. Customers
who own glasses look for lens cleaning products that keep their eyeglasses clean for a long period of time
with fewer applications per unit. Superior Lens Protection will eliminate their competition by providing their
customers with a never before seen eyeglass lens cleaning remedy.

phone treatments. Due to demand for these products, they are commonly out of stock on Amazon. For this
reason, I feel that the product will have no problem competing with competitors in terms of price.

*Taken from Mosaic demographic analysis. Used in conjunction with census data to calculate number of people in the
U.S.who wear sunglasses/glasses in these markets. Each year is rising becasue of our marketshare growth.
**Taken from census projections for age group growth through the year 2020. Averaged out to create a yearly growth
projection. We don't expect to grab a larger percentage because there will be no exposure to customers who don't shop
online. In the future, our growth should improve once we advance our marketing strategies and access more markets.
***Taken from Maloney's 16% rule. We expect to meet our steady growth requirements and emerge into the market in the
first five years of operation.
****Assumption based off of Mintel consumer purchasing and interest combined with longevity of product. It isn't a
high number becasue our customers are expecting the product to last and be effective for several months in between
applications and each unit is meant to provide multiple uses.
Due to exclusive wholesale in the first few years all sales will be online. Despite our potential demand in retail
stores in the later few years of production, we will still continue to promote sales through e-commerce.

Exhibit #6: Marketing Mix
Product/Service Branding
Our name, Superior Lens Protection promises our customers that our product gurantees the safety and security of their
lenses. Our brand will become known for quality and consistency.
Pricing
2017 2018 2019 2020 2021
Unit Variable Cost: $8.11 $8.09 $7.89 $7.85 $7.81
Wholesale Price: $19.47 $19.41 $18.92 $18.83 $18.75
Retail Price: N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A
Other oleophobic solutions are similarly priced, but intended for different uses. Our unique, long lasting protection
provides enough added value from not having to continuously re apply the solution to your lenses that charging slightly
above the competition shouldn't be an issue.
Distribution/Location Strategy
Superior Lens Protection will distribute solely via a direct channel for at least the first two years of operations.
Customers will go on our website to purchase the product and then we will ship it directly to them. We are only selling
online for at least two years because our target market is so large that it would be extremely difficult and expensive to
reach the entire market. Our company is located in Virginia Beach, VA. We feel that there would be a high demand for
our product in that region and shipping to those residents would be simple.

We will use spyware and advertise on websites that our customers are likely to visit. Our target market is full of people
who are frequent online shoppers, so we should be able to reach a large percentage of our potential market strictly
through online advertising. Another means of promotion outside of our vector is word of mouth.

with a customer base that has very high expectations, given that
our product is much more expensive than alternative lens

active lifestyles and dont have time to constantly be worrying

Use the space below to describe any additional Proactive Quality Assurance Plans that are not connected
to a specific activity on your Process Flowchart / Service Blueprint.
Upon arrival of the raw materials to the warehouse there will be a sample taken and used for a test. In this test we
will apply the solution to glass surfaces and examine the effects of the oleophobic solution on the median.
Describe any reactive quality assurance plans. Include a recovery plan should a customer receive poor
quality goods and/or services.
If a customer were to receive poor quality goods from us, then we would offer them a return of their original
product and replace it at no cost to the customer. We will then look into what caused the problem itself and
determine what action needs to be taken in order to prevent the defect from reoccurring. Due to us operating
strictly through online sales it is imperative that we provide as much of a customer friendly atmosphere as possible.

Additional resources (beyond your bottleneck) must be appropriately allocated to support operations.
Identify which resources have a significant impact on your capacity at start up and describe why these
are appropriate amounts of resources to start up your organization.
The resource that we need to appropriately allocate to support operations is the oleophobic fluid. This will have
the biggest impact on everything because without making sure that we properly use it, we will fail to meet
demand and lose a large part of our investment.
Describe all/any adjustments you will make as resource requirements vary with time. Be specific
regarding which key resources will be adjusted, when and how. If you will make multiple adjustments,
explain each adjustment.
We will adjust our supply of the oleophobic solution in accordance with our desired production level so we
dont have an excess amount of units that will use up their shelf life, sitting in our warehouse. Since the
oleophobic solution is the most expensive and the only perishable component of the finished product, its
preservation is key to long term success. Also, at the end of year three we will have to purchase a second liquid
bottling and labeling machine to assure that our demand does not exceed supply per hour. By purchasing a
second machine we will have to hire two extra assembly workers.
How will you manage seasonality? NA Seasonality will change our demand levels because more people
We will count the seasonal changes as will be wearing sunglasses and going outside when the weather is
