to all categories of people on a truck. The business is location is at Changlun, Jitra,
Alor Setar and Sungai Petani which are all in Kedah. Jitra, Alor Setar and Sungai
Petani are picked because of its dense population so we can maximize our business
income while Changlun is chosen because it has very little nail salons with plenty of
potential customers from UUM. The objectives of the business are to provide good
nail service to every customer, constantly improve service quality to increase
customers satisfaction and make them feel valued with every visit. The missions of
Blooming Beauty are to create convenience for customer, provide reasonable prices
and enjoyable nail service to customers. The reason why we choose this business is
because nail salons have high demand regardless of before or after the pandemic.
Nail salon business also needs low investment which lowers the risk bear by partners
and it is easy to master the basic skills of nail art. In addition, we also have decorated
the interior and exterior of the trucks to impress customers. Customers can take
pictures with popular ornament while waiting and enjoy comfortable chairs when it is
their turn. The target market of Blooming Beauty are mostly females aged 15 to 65
and also certain men aged 18 to 50 which consists of undergraduates, working
experts and housewives since everyone desires to have beautiful looking nail. Our
competitors are Leng Leng Nail Station and Pink Shine Nail Studio where they
provide similar services in Kedah. Although they have their own distinctive strengths
to attractive customers, we believe Blooming Beauty will have strong competitive
advantage over their competition. This is because we provide friendly and
enthusiastic customer service for a reasonable price. We also have referral program
and reward program that rewards loyal customers. The marketing strategy
encompasses the “4ps” which are product, place, promotion and price. Blooming
Beauty will be providing unique and high-quality service with reasonable price to be
on par with competitors. For promotion strategies, we use advertising on social
media, direct marketing where we can get direct feedbacks from customer and lastly
sales promotion. In the operational plan we list down all the equipment needed with a
total of RM3,320 for operational expenditure and estimated operating cost of
RM11,358. The suppliers of Blooming Beauty are Pretty2u and Glitz Nail Supply. The

2.0 BUSINESS DESCRIPTION


2.1 Business Background

Blooming Beauty was established in April 2022, and it is a business that provides nail
services to all categories of people by using the truck. Nail services that Blooming
Beauty offer to customers are manicures and pedicures and the operating day is
from Monday to Saturday. This business is a partnership business consisting of five
partners and the total funding for this business is RM60,000 including RM50,000 loan
from SME Bank. The business location that will be conducted is at Kedah and the
specific place is based at Changlun, Jitra, Alor Setar, and Sungai Petani area as we
are operating the business using truck. These four locations consist of our target
customer group because Alor Setar and Sungai Petani have a dense population, and
many are able to maximize our business income. We consider that Changlun and
Jitra have the least number of nail salons and the students of UUM have to go far
away to treat their nails. Hence, we choose these locations for our operating place to
make it convenient for them and residents nearby and our business is a budget
business and affordable to them.

2.2 Objectives of the Business


a. Provide a very good nail service for every customer.
b. Constantly improve the quality of service to customers.
c. Make customers feel valued and satisfied by visiting our nail services.

2.3 Vision and Mission of the Business


Vision

To do the greatest nails and make customers have fun with different nail
styles.

Mission

1. It Is convenient for people to treat their nails without going to the salon that
far away.
2. Become one of the businesses that offers very reasonable prices to all
customers.
3. Provide nail services to customers to make them enjoy.

2.4 Advantages of Prospect


Nail salons are part of the beauty industry, and in an era where the public is
seeking to look good, women are becoming more and more willing to invest in
beauty, so nail salons also have a wide range of demand. Whether it is before
or after the epidemic, nail salons serve as a form of recreation and
entertainment that can improve people's well-being.

First of all, nail salon business investment costs are low, entrepreneurs bear
relatively small risks and management is relatively simple. Because nail
salons don't need to recruit too many staff, we don't need to spend a lot of
energy on staff management. In addition, nail salons do not need a large shop
area, and raw materials are relatively simple, so operating costs are
considered extremely low. Finally, nail salons are not like beauty salons in
that they need to learn to master a lot of professional knowledge, but only
need to master the basic skills of nail art, so it is relatively easy from the
aspect of talent training and so on. However, after the epidemic, people's
mindset may change and consumers may be more concerned about the
hygiene and service of the shop, and all we have to do at Blooming Beauty is
to ensure the hygiene environment and service quality of the shop.

4
BPME3073 ENTREPRENEURSHIP

In addition, the inability to leave the house during the outbreak made those
consumers who had their nails done frequently impatient to spend money
once the outbreak was over. This is because anyone who has had a manicure
can feel that their hands are longer and are beautiful and clean. In human
interaction, people can notice the hands in addition to the delicate face and
beautiful clothes. As well as being a pleasure for others to look at, beautiful
hands can please you, as people are always attracted to beautiful things and
feel beautiful and elegant. This is not changed by the epidemic. For these two
reasons, we believe that there is potential for nail salons after the epidemic is
over.

2.5 Corporate Identity


This is because apart from the skill that attracts customers to a nail salon, the
first impression a customer has of a nail salon will determine whether they
come in or not. So we want to show the characteristics in the truck decoration.
We have designed the truck exterior and signage to be more high-end.

We also paid extra attention to the interior of the truck, as most of our
customers are women, so we made the shop very warm and fresh to make
our customers feel relaxed. So we choose a warm colour palette like blue for
the whole store, and we choose white or black for the shelves to make our
customers feel that the Blooming Beauty staff are professional. We also
choose to put up some popular ornaments so that customers can take photos
while waiting and also let customers who have had their nails done take some
photos, which we think is a way to promote the place. We also place some
mirrors inside the truck so that customers can always see the results during
their manicure, and at the same time most women can't help but stop to see
what's wrong with their appearance when they see the mirror, which can add
colour and traffic to the truck. In addition, nail art can take a very long time, on
average 1 hour for one person, and longer if a complicated style is needed.
Although the client is not required to do anything, he or she cannot move
easily during the manicure. To ensure the comfort of our customers, our team
has personally sourced the most comfortable chairs to offer to our customers
in the hope of minimising discomfort. This will help our customers to enjoy the
environment of our blooming beauty and attract them for their next visit.

Apart from providing nail services, it is also our duty to provide environmental
services in our nail salon, and we also want to do every detail well to make

5
BPME3073 ENTREPRENEURSHIP

our customers feel warm and professional. This way our clientele will get
better and better.

salons to offer enhanced administrations will likewise help development. An

salons; this figure is relied upon to ascend throughout the following five years.

maturing cures, which are a high-development section.

3.5 Market Segmentation


Market segmentation is a process of partitioning a heterogeneous market into
moderately more homogenous portions dependent on specific boundaries. We
focused on a few aspects such as demographic, psycho-graphic, geographic and
behavioral. All these aspects need to be considered as we need to run the business
according to the aspect.

3.5.1 Demographic segmentation


Based on the demographic itself, our business is divided into different age
and life cycle groups which are 15 to 65 years old and 18 to 50 years old
based on our consumer’s gender, life cycle, needs and buying power.
Blooming Beauty offers the services for all groups but it focuses more on
those who are searching for nail services. It can be girls or boys. Our product
would be more helpful for those who are searching for manicure and pedicure
service to make a beautiful nail. Besides, they can relax themselves by doing
the manicure and additionally have a nice day and great mood.

3.5.2 Psycho-graphic segmentation


Psycho-graphic aspect is about the personality characteristics of our target
market, which will serve to enhance our brand. Basically, it has to be counted
in such a way that the product we serve will draw our target market interest.
The majority of our target buyers are girls and women. Their choice is our
priority, as we need to make sure that our nail services will satisfy their
preference. Our service is manicures and pedicures with many options and
beautiful nail art. We also provide friendly and enthusiastic customer service.
Our services are suitable for those who are in the middle class, upper middle
class, and lower uppers.

3.5.3 Geographic segmentation


Geographic aspect is that we can fulfil the demand of our target market.
Company’s location is the most important decision to be made. Our company
is aware that the wrong choice of location can lead to lower sales and higher
operation cost. Thus, our company decided to operate the business at Alor
Setar, Changlun, Jitra, and Sungai Petani of Kedah.

10
BPME3073 ENTREPRENEURSHIP

3.5.4 Behavioral segmentation


In the behavioral aspect, our company observes our consumer actions in
order to make it easier for us to understand their interests. We strengthened
our services by following consumers’ expectations so that they will be happy
and satisfied when they come and try our manicures and pedicures services
and do not have any regrets. By using these techniques, we can earn more
from our potential consumers.

and turn them into buyers of our products or services. An effective marketing strategy
lets businesses recognize our best consumers and makes our company consider the

to be the students in the university and residents nearby. Alor Setar and
Sungai Petani are two big cities in Kedah which will help to attract more
customers.

3.6.3 Price Strategy


Generally, businesses will pay a lot of attention to product price. We had to
set a reasonable price when promoting our services to the market. It cannot
be denied that, assuming the cost of our services are not sensible, nobody
will choose our company and it will cause us to not be able to compete with
our competitors. We must do a survey as a reference for us to set our price of

11
BPME3073 ENTREPRENEURSHIP

our two services which are manicure and pedicure. Hence, the price that our
company set is reasonable and affordable with the best quality of the
products. The pricing of Blooming Beauty will be moderate and on par with
competitors so customers will feel valued and satisfied when they come to
support our business.

3.6.4 Promotion Strategies

and influence consumers by displaying the benefits of a product and trying to
