Terminal is open for business seven days a week. The average spend split between movies
beverages, food and others is:

This is an excellent position as there are no competitors nearby. Even if they are located around
our business place they have poor in instrument quality.
The Arbaminch cinema recreation center is Located at the center of the town. this location is
very important location for this business because it is easily accessible for all campus
community, it is aesthetically attractive and since it is a home-based business there are efficient
homes for kitchen and store.

road and it is also put in appropriate position for all campus students and for people living in the
town.
2.4 Business Goals
The product and services are aimed to satisfy the need of customer and the product and services
are determined by interviewing the society in the town we can also know the need and shortage
of service because we are in the society.
3.1 Mission :-
Arbaminch cinema mission is to give our customers a big city entertainment experience in a
small town. Our customers will relax in comfort and watch high-quality presentations of popular
second-run movies, all within a short walk or drive from home.
We aim to please the local community (who can wait a few weeks to see their favorite movies
and don't want to pay big city, new release prices). We will also provide our customers with
satisfying and reasonably priced snack foods and beverages & all soft drink.
3.2 Visions :-
The key to our success that will help establish a successful Arbaminch cinema are:
Product quality - Food, coffee, tea and other beverages with a comfortable environment.
Service - Our patrons are paying for high quality movies,
Marketing - We will need to target our audience early and often. While the business is
located in a central and accessible location, many people will have to be re-introduced to
the Arbaminch cinema.
Management - We maintain a firm grasps on costs, such as movie,food, beverage and
labor costs. Stock is maintained by a dedicated stock system by employee management,
and quality control is critical.
Our potential customers are mainly Arbaminch university students, local community and
others.
In Arbaminch university around 20,000 students, 70,000 people in arba minch are
available.
About 60 percent of our people are young (their age is between 18 and 23).due to their
age and lack of good recreational centre most students and young community have an
interest to use our cinema.
So, the potential customers are going to be familiar with our service like movies, food and
drinking service. And they will rely accepted our market.
Customers are highly motivated by our good quality service, fair price and another factor is our
site is very favorable for young couples.
4.1.2 Market Analysis Summary
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.

SMALL BUSINESS PLANNING OF ARBA-MINCH CINEMA 2021
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.
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.

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
Important Assumptions
Start-up cost
Balance Sheet
7.1.1 Assumptions
The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the
following. The key underlying assumptions are: We assume a constant growth in the
economy, without major recession.
We assume of course that there are no unforeseen changes in technology to make
equipment immediately obsolete.
We assume access to equity capital and financing sufficient to maintain our financial plan
as shown in the tables.
The most important assumption in the Projected Profit and Loss statement is the gross margin.
We show an adjustment increase in two Year as we exit our start-up phase of the business and
move into our expected annual sales forecast.
This transition shows the Arba Minch Cinema managing through its start-up period, and
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.
For our First Year Break-Even Analysis, we have an average running fixed costs of 58,200 birr
per month which includes our full payroll, rent, and utilities, and an estimation of other running
cost. Note : this not include material buying and other amount of movies at first year.
