1. Access Marketing Plan for Specific International Target Market

Founded in 1999 by a pair of optimistic young mates, Skydive Australia has grown from

stopping moments and adrenalin-pumping
stories. And every day is still as exhilarating as

1.1 International Target Market

According to McKinsey&Company's Brazilian consumer profile, Brazil enjoyed a

dramatic rise in purchasing power and consumption over the past decade. Indeed, by 2012, more
than half of Brazilians had entered the ranks of the middle class. However, this trend has been
reversing in recent years, with economic recession translating into a drop in consumer
confidence. Nonetheless, the thriftier Brazilian consumer also offers some opportunities for
retailers: more Brazilian consumers are eating at home than in restaurants, for example, and they
increasingly tend to seek out good deals and promotions. Also, there are a few product categories
in which Brazilians are 'trading-up' for more expensive products rather than 'trading down' for
cheaper brands. These include alcoholic beverages and personal-care products. Overall,
Brazilians care about value for money and the functional value of the goods they purchase

ILSC Business School BSBMKG416 Assessment V1 0117 9

2. Select Appropriate Marketing Activities

2.1 The Company`s Overall International Marketing Plan and Strategy

Skydive in Brisbane sales and marketing strategy has been formulated with a clear objective:
Quality founded upon a total commitment to innovation and , best locations, best customer
service and the best instructors. The Skydive in Brisbane has enhanced the beachside RedCliffe
region with a development of such quality that it will satisfy the most critical sports enthusiast.

2.2 The Specific International Marketing Goals and Objectives

Skydive in Brisbane has focused its marketing efforts on South America. The high Australian
dollar has impeded export growth; however exports remain the primary source of growth for
those who look for skydiving activities.

The main goal is get to be a well-known brand and to demonstrate to de target public that the
Skydive in Brisbane has the capacity to deliver the best quality and they can trust the company, as
in Brazil it is an important point to be considered.

2.3 The International Target Market

According to a recent study, the number of foreigners visiting Brazil in order to get in
touch with the environment and try new sport adventures increased by 3% in a year, rising from
12.8% in 2014 to 15.7% in 2015.
Brazil is currently seeking new domestic and international private investment to stimulate
this sector and to create new nature reserves (including marine ones) able to attract lovers of
trekking and hiking. The Minister of Tourism Alberto Alves said he will try to establish a
partnership between the private and public sectors for the sustainable exploitation of local
treasures such as the Amazon Rainforest, the Pantanal, the Cerrado and the Atlantic Forest, in
addition to the more than 8000 kilometers of coastline and the river basin.
It is clear how the visits to protected areas rose in the last 10 years: only in national parks,
visitors increased by 238%, from 1,900,000 in 2007 to 7,140,000 in 2015. And in the first half of
2016 two Brazilian institutions have been awarded for activities in the adventure tourism
industry.

4. Monitor and Review Marketing Performance

Skydive in Brisbanes steam has monitored marketing progress through periodic surveys and
analysis. About the progress, we found that our brand has become more popular and review sales
are made once a fortnightly to check if they have increased.

4.1 Performance Targets

Putting performance measurement systems in place can be an important way of keeping

track on the progress of the business. It gives the vital information about what's happening now
and it also provides the starting point for a system of target-setting that will help implementing
the strategies for growth.
This statement sets out the business benefits of performance measurement and target-
setting. It is to determine how to choose which key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure and
suggests examples in a number of key business areas. It also highlights the main points to bear in
mind when setting targets for your business:

The importance of measurement and target-setting

Deciding what to measure
Measurement of our financial performance
Measurement and our customers
Measurement and our employees
Measurement against other businesses - benchmarking
Measurement in the manufacturing sector
How to set useful targets for our business

4.2 New Targets Markets

A feasibility analysis is an important step before purchasing a business opportunity or

franchise. As an entrepreneur, you can greatly increase your chances of success by analyzing the
business concept, your market place, your industry and competition, and your financial and

ILSC Business School BSBMKG416 Assessment V1 0117 18

organizational structures. Whether you plan to expand an existing business, acquire an existing
business, or start a new business, a feasibility analysis will evaluate a business idea to see if it is
worth pursuing.
Identifying our Core Competency: a special skill, technology, process, knowledge,
expertise, or ability that is unique to the business and done better than any competitors.

A core competency might be:

Valuable a large revenue generator

Rare not easily found in other businesses
Non-substitutable its cannot be replaced by any of your other capabilities.
Costly to imitate it will be expensive for your competitors to try to duplicate

4.3 New Business Opportunities

Skydiving (or parachuting) is a recreational activity as well as a vocational skill for

individuals in highly specialized careers. Skydiving schools offer newbies a safe introduction to
the sport and ongoing training or jump opportunities for individuals who have decided to advance
beyond the beginner level.
Although entrepreneurs interested in launching a skydiving school come from a variety of
backgrounds, successful startup owners almost always possess significant skydiving experience,
either as an enthusiast or as a jump professional (e.g. military). From your customers' standpoint,
your skydiving experience is critical -- in their eyes, it's the only thing standing between them and
the ground.
The capital requirements for a skydiving business are substantial: chutes, safety
equipment, harnesses (solo & tandem) and access to a plane(s) are all obvious prerequisites.
However, your instructors should also actively participate in and be rated by the AU Parachute
Association, a trade organization that supports the sport of skydiving.

Expansion Opportunities for Skydiver Businesses

Growth is a mandate for successful small businesses. As a skydiving entrepreneur, it's

important to target growth strategies in your initial business plan. Although circumstances vary

ILSC Business School BSBMKG416 Assessment V1 0117 19

from one entrepreneur to the next, there are several potential areas your school can target for
expansion.
Indoor Skydiving. Indoor skydiving facilities give your school the ability to
conduct training and activities in a safe environment that is completely independent of outside
weather conditions. The downside? Cost. Construction of an indoor wind tunnel is expensive,
possibly even cost-prohibitive for startup entrepreneurs. Budget carefully if you plan to offer
expanded training activities indoors.
Military Business Training. The increased use of private para-military personnel
has created a market for parachute schools capable of training private security personnel in
HALO (High Altitude/Low Opening), HAHO (High Altitude/High Opening) and other skydiving
techniques. Tap into this market segment and you have the potential to generate a significant
revenue stream from corporate clientele.
Auxiliary Services. Ambitious skydiving entrepreneurs routinely create auxiliary
revenue streams. Everything from the sale of parachuting equipment to on-site cafes or
restaurants hold possibility as supplemental profit centers, depending on the needs and buying
habits of your customer base.

Feasibility Analysis

After completing the financial feasibility analysis, we thought about our personal income
and financial needs. For example, we need at least $130,000 annually to keep our crew and will
the new venture be able to provide us with at least $130,000 of profit in the first year? Even the
best business ideas often require several years to take off and reach a desired profit. It may be
best for you to allow time to work while starting your business or put off the start-up until
sufficient resources are on hand to give us a regular source of income.

Conduct an Organizational Feasibility Analysis: determine whether the proposed business

has sufficient management expertise, organizational competence, and resources to be successful.

Evaluate Management Expertise the ability of the entrepreneur and management team.
Designate Responsibilities determine whether the responsibilities are too great or too
small for the entrepreneur. Do any of the duties need to be outsourced?

ILSC Business School BSBMKG416 Assessment V1 0117 20

 Evaluate non-financial resources is there a sufficient labor pool (quality and quantity),
availability of office space, protection for property, patents, etc.?
Prepare a Financial Feasibility Analysis: evaluate start-up and other capital requirements,
your projected rate of return, and the overall attractiveness of the investment.
Estimate Sales on monthly and/or annual basis Do not count on promises; be
conservative; estimate sales using different methods and compare figures (both in units
and dollars).
Estimate Costs Identify both fixed costs and variable costs.
Estimate Break-even Point and Profitability
