drinking service. And they will rely accepted our market.

The Arbaminch cinema is located in between secha and sikalaat place called GIMASH , the
shopping and entertainment center of town. This provides easy access for every resident of Arba
minch and a viable entertainment option any night of the week. The local business community
has shown great support for a cinema since it would keep residents, and their spending money,
in the community instead of one of the surrounding communities. A typical family (there are
about 70,000 people in arba minch ) can expect to save their money for a night out at the movies
by coming to a local theatre and cinema. This savings, along with quality movie selection, should
keep people coming back regularly.
4.2 Market Segmentation

Families - this segment focuses on adults and parents with younger children who don't need to
see the latest movies on release and seek an inexpensive, quality, family-oriented
entertainment experience.

Young adults - this segment is comprised of the 16-24 year old age group. This group is
interested in seeing comedy and action/adventure type movies that are not directed at the
younger and family markets.

 Our product and service are competitive in terms of quality, price, and quantity.

6. Marketing and Sales Strategy


6.1. Target Market Segment Strategy

These two market segments, families and young adults, are targeted specifically because they
comprise the two largest segments of arba minch population. The Arbaminch cinema is
determined to be a community-oriented business and seeks to serve as much of the population as
possible. With a large college in town, there is an ample student market, consumers who often
have limited transportation options.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

The strategy is simple: provide fair-priced, quality entertainment close to home for the two
markets that comprise the bulk of arbaminch population.
6.2. Marketing Strategy

Arbaminch is not too large town that word gets around quickly. We anticipate that a buzz will be
created once the renovations begin. Excitement will build as the grand opening approaches. To
encourage that excitement, we will have a countdown to opening on the building's marquee.
Concurrently, advertisements in both the local newspaper and the college's daily will promote the
opening with coupons for free items from the snack bar. Since a large share of profits will come
from concessions, we want to let people know about our tasty snacks. Finally, we will use our
website to keep our customers, especially the more web salvy college students, updated on the
movie selection, which will change every two weeks.
6.3 Sales Strategy

The Arba Minch Cinema will appeal to two segments of the market:
 Adults and parents with children who seek local, fair-priced evening entertainment aimed
at the whole family.
 Young adults who are interested in seeing recent releases but are constrained by an
inability or unwillingness to travel.The main sales strategy is to provide recent successful
movie releases that appeal to both audiences. With two theatres, we will be able to target
both segments simultaneously.Ticket prices will be 50 birr for adults and 35 birr for
children under 12.

SMALL BUSINESS PLANNING OF ARBA-MINCH CINEMA 2021

6.3.1 Sales Forecast

Sales will increase among both target segments as word spreads around town and to the
surrounding communities. The increase in concession sales reflects the increased attendance.
Concession sales are based on an average of 25 birr spent per ticket purchase.

7 Financial Management

7.1 Financial documentation

 The Financial Plan includes:

 Important Assumptions

 Start-up cost

 Profit and Loss Statement

 Cash Flow Statement

following. The key underlying assumptions are: We assume a constant growth in the
economy, without major recession.

equipment immediately obsolete.

gaining efficiency and customer loyalty. In summary, the Arba Minch Cinema will develop its
customer base and reputation and the growth will pick up more rapidly towards the second years
of business. Month-by-month assumptions for Profit and Loss are included in the appendices.
