Executive Summary

Salon Eco is a full-service hair salon offering top quality all natural products with no chemicals. Salon Eco is dedicated to helping our client find the beauty in their relaxed hair with natural products. Salon Eco offers a knowledgeable staff well educated in the benefits of the natural hair products and services they use on your hair in an environment that was designed with sustainability in mind.



Our Mission:

Our mission is to educate and enrich the lifestyles of today’s men and women seeking beautiful and natural, chemical-free hair services and products transforming their natural beauty inside and out.

While creating a behavioral change to the salon experience, our mission is to provide an organic, eco-friendly, aroma-therapeutic atmosphere for both men and women seeking beautiful, natural and chemical free hair.

Our Vision:

To become the #1 all natural, Eco-hair salon located in the Coastal Empire with global brand recognition as leaders in the hair care industry.



9 Step Strategic Planning Process:
Step 1: Mission Statement

Our vision is to be the #1 all natural, eco-hair salon located in the coastal empire with brand recognition as leaders in the hair care industry. While creating a behavioral change to the salon experience, our mission is to provide an organic, eco-friendly, aroma therapeutic atmosphere for both men and women seeking beautiful, natural, and chemical free hair.



Step 2: Strengths and Weaknesses – Company

Strengths: SalonEco has many strengths to capitalize on. First and foremost our number one

strength is our unique product/service positioning. We are going to offer hair services that all

one hundred percent all-natural. Our hair color contains no chemicals and this is something that no salon in Savannah can currently offer. Our hair stylists are also going to be educated in the field of organic hair care as well as being educated in homeopathic therapies. We will pass this knowledge onto our clients. Another strength is a culturally diverse team of hairstylists and a cutting edge marketing team as well. Another strength which can also be considered a weakness is that we are targeting clients that are willing to spend a little more on their hair in an effort to be natural. Our business model seeks to transform the behavior of our client into a more natural you!
Weaknesses: Out weakness is that we are the first salon in Savannah to offer a completely

organic hair experience so we are doing something no one else has done and while we hope for

the best we know we must also prepare for the worst. Another weakness is our higher prices.

Organic hair color is more expensive and so is renewable energy which we plan to use in our

salon. We plan on having solar panels in the salon. The ROI on a solar panel can be up to ten

years because they are so new and expensive to manufacture and to install. Our prices for

services will be higher but our Marketing team plans to overcome this weakness by educating

our clients and potential clients about the dangers in putting chemicals in your hair.



Step 3: Opportunities and Threats – Environmental

Opportunities: The biggest opportunity we see is the market share that we can capture. The

population is becoming more aware of environmental factors that play a role in our health. All

trends point towards this new green movement and once our clientele is educated enough about the benefits of being all natural, they will surely want to choose our company for their hair service. Another opportunity is educating not only our cutting edge hair stylists but, passing that education on to our clients. This will surely set us apart from the competition and keep our clients coming back.
Threats: One threat that we are aware of is that once everyone in the community sees how

successful our business model is; we believe there will be competitors entering the market trying to take away our market share. Our business model is one that is much like other business models that are already successful in larger cities such as New York, San Francisco and Atlanta and so we know the potential for success is there. Once we show the community how it’s done, we have to worry about competition copying our idea and capitalizing on our market share.



Step 4: Key Success Factors

Key Factors for Success

These factors will lead to our immediate success because we have focused objectives and goals for our business. Our factors as follows:


  1. Providing an eco-friendly environment for the customers.

  2. Licensed hair technicians with educational backgrounds (5 years +).

  3. Locations in major traffic areas.

  4. Excellent advertisement team with educational backgrounds (5 years +).

  5. Family-oriented management environment

  6. Diverse employment



Step 5: Analysis of Competition

Knowing who your competition is in the market as well as you know your own company is essential with having a successful business. Having this competitive advantage allows your company to grow to extraordinary heights. The planned achievements only come with preparation and time management.




Salon-ECO

Collaborates with recycling companies in the city to create an eco-friendly environment for the salon. This brings a serene energy to our business which transcends through the hair stylist. The energy establishes a beautiful hairstyle for every customer and allows them to walk with their head held high plus an extraordinary hairstyle.

COLORBOXX HAIR SALON

Provides advanced customer service by personalizing our approach to every client's desires. Colorboxx Salon is dedicated to outstanding service and beautiful personalized hair. Each stylist is continually training and attending classes to stay current on trends in the hair industry.

(OUR COMPETITVE ADVANTAGE)

Bringing light to our ecosystem and the fragile state in which it suffers. The biggest advantage against the other competition is the fact that a hair salon is known for being a vital global warming reality. Our business provides essential component in keeping our environment a clean one. This allows customer to leave the salon with a good feeling along with great hair.

Step 6: Company Goals and Objectives

Goals

1. Salon Eco will continuously provide our clientele with an experience of superb quality at each and every visit. This will ensure that our clients will love our salon and return for future visits.


2. Salon Eco will always provide our clients with the leading edge products (top of the line)? Products to insure that we stay current and consistent with their hair care services.
3. Our salon will always provide great Eco Friendly services and an outstanding atmosphere to insure that our clients have the best service experience as well as provide vegan snacks, wine and cheese, as well as water and a variety of healthy food choices.

Objectives

1. To combine a knowledgeable staff with years of experience, the proper use of quality products, and the necessary tools to provide our outstanding and consistent services.


2. To achieve a consistent encouraging work environment, equipped with product knowledge and retail sales training, and business etiquette training to assure that our staff will continuously produce revenue.
3. To create longevity and a lasting presence in the salon ownership arena by opening salon chains in several cities across the U.S. to also create a brand that will speak for itself across the globe.
4. To ensure our brand and continuously develop our salons in communities where we can make a difference in the economy of these cities, we will increase our workforce and employing within these communities.

Step 7: Strategic Options

Between the three strategic options, Salon Eco plummets under the differentiation and focus strategies. Our products will contain all natural ingredients that will not cause any skin, scalp or air irritations. We will carry a natural line of shampoos, conditioners, oils, and hair dyes, all the chemical free products available at your fingertips. Nevertheless, how do we differentiate from all other salons who claim they are eco-friendly? We will start by only using eco friendly cleaning supplies, recycled furniture and chemical free products. As for the destructions of the design, the entire building will be modified using recycled material that is not harmful to the environment. Salon Eco’s core group will play a great part in deciding which products will be best for each type of hair texture that we will experience. That is something that we are trying to do with our Salon Eco brand, trying to be different. This will also cause us to increase our services that we will offer and reap the benefits of customer loyalty and preservation. We will not only be different in the amount of training we are willing to achieve but willing to put our own special twist to the hair industry by using chemical free products. Even though it will be costly, the experience will be breathtaking and this will keep our clientele satisfied. By building a rapport with our clientele this will cause a domino effect because everyone would want that fresh feeling of chemical free healthy hair and the look of being all-natural.


Knowing what your client wants, needs and their characteristics are seems to be very important in the hair industry. Salon Eco will be gathering this information on their first visit to the Salon in order to strategize on the focus strategy within our development. At the clients first visit we will have them fill out a customer card that will have a series of questions about their hair and skin. By establishing this strategy we, as a team will be able to focus more on our customer needs as an individual. Being able to know your clients do have and don’ts will make a difference during each visit to the salon. The stylist or barber will already know what their customer is expecting. With our atmosphere calming with lavender, lots of natural sunlight, sounds from the waterfall in the wall the aura will speak for itself as you take a natural ride to Salon Eco, where we embrace your natural beauty inside and out.

Step 8: Action Plan

Salon Eco will have a grand opening on September 5, 2013. This will give us time to secure our building and begin our interior design transformation. On our first day, we will give the first twenty five customers one free service. We will also have promotions and discounted services for the entire grand opening week.

  1. Start-Up Summary

Salon Eco will renovate an existing building and then pay rent on that building every month. The total renovation costs are $40,000. Salon Eco will need to secure a loan for $145,000 in order to achieve their budget for start-up which is a total of $205,000. Salon Eco has six equal partners whom are all hair stylists and they each put in $10,000 of their own money as owners’ equity for start up.

Start-up costs
The budget for the eco-friendly unisex hair salon allows the different options for advertisement, finances and the restrictions to the initial cash flows of the business. Knowing this information, the business looks for suppliers that are willing to negotiate their prices by the bulk of purchase through the beginning stages of the business. These negotiating skills enhance the company’s power to make bigger deals with clients down the line. It is imperative that this business, amongst other businesses learn their finances and how to keep monitor the logistics of a new business or any other business, for that matter. The financial statements play a significant role in the business because it constructs a base that the company can work from and work their way up to achievement. The whole point of specific financial records is to have ultimate control over what is being spent and how much the company is profiting off of with service throughout the daily process.
Statements of financial recording give the business a sense of urgency to participate but while embarking on a substantial plan at the same time. This helps the business prioritize with what is needed over what could be a possible dead end decision. Decision making in the financial plans of this company can become your deal breakers or your money makers. The one thing that will save the company is having a strong and knowledgeable team.

Financial Plan & Statements


Partnerships allow the burden to be shared amongst fellow owners of the business.

Secure the assets with the team’s financial plans including business savings, the earnings power and health.


The business is equally loved by each partner in the business so this gives incentive to stay open longer, do better and keep a consistent happiness for the business.

Keep a conscious mind to having a certain amount saved in case of emergency and also at a persistent level. Saving should not be restricted to a one time basis for a small business.

Budgeting is the key factor in running the business. Spending and expenses must be lower than the earnings and profit.

SALON ECO BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS

1. In my proposed financial plan for our business, I had us purchasing the building so that we can have ownership even though we would have to pay taxes. The area is going to bring business. 


2. I did include the fees for the charge of licenses for all aspects of the licenses that need to be inquired.
3. Since we all are coming into this partnership with master experience in cosmetology, I kept those fees lower than everything else which allows us to budget our funds on other expenses.
4. The reception salary should be 25,000 to 28,000.
The profit we will need each month is based on a combination of the general fees, for example, utilities (electricity, water), inventory, equipment (if anything goes wrong with them) and salary fees. Those monthly fees are vital in our budget every month. We are looking at having to make a profit of 16,000/month to cover charges every month.

Knowing who your competition is in the market as well as you know your own company is essential with having a successful business. Having this competitive advantage allows your company to grow to extraordinary heights. The planned achievements only come with preparation and time management.

  1. Marketing Strategy: 1 year for a total investment of $10,000.00



Radio: 1 year / $5500.00 Salon Eco will run a one month long radio campaign on three different radio stations that show high ratings for women and men in between the ages of 18 and 60 since this is our target demographic. Our radio commercial will be a testimonial from a happy client that no longer has as many health issues after embarking on an all-natural lifestyle. Salon Eco is not only selling a service and a product, we are selling a lifestyle. There are numerous benefits to consuming all natural products as well as using all natural hair care and services and these benefits will be the subject of our marketing campaign. The tag line will be “Salon Eco…discover the benefits of the natural you”

We will a one month blitz for the opening in which we spend $1000.00 for the first month on radio. This will get us four weeks of high frequency commercials. We will get a total of 200 commercials (50 per week) for four weeks for an investment of $1000.00. After the first month, we plan to allocate at least $500 per month to radio advertising. Radio is a great way to talk about any promotion we may be having such as “Free brow wax with any color” If we spend $1000.00 in the first month and $500.00 each month after that is a total of $5500.00 for the year for radio.



Television: 3 weeks / $750.00. We will run television ads for three weeks leading up to our grand opening. Two weeks will run prior to the grand opening and the last week will run the week of the grand opening. We will feature models getting their hair done naturally in our salon on our commercial. We will also feature the salon itself and all of the amenities in our commercial. We will also feature our products in the commercial and our vendor has agreed to pay for the entire television campaign as long as their products are featured so the $750.00 for television will be paid for by the brand, Mizani.

Print: 1 year, 2 magazines, $1200.00. We will run one ad every month for one year in two different magazines, Savannah Magazine and South Magazine. Each ad is $50 so for two magazines for one year that is a total investment of $1200.00.


Direct Mail: $2300.00. The mailing list is $1300.00 and we will spend about $1000.00 on having our coupons made and postage. We will purchase a list of females and males between the ages of 18 and 65 who live within a 20 mile radius of our salon and make over $30,000 per year. We are targeting the middle aged working male or female with a little or a lot of disposable income. The mailing will drop in potential customer’s mailboxes the day that we open so if anyone has any questions they can call and speak to someone. In the mail will be a coupon redeemable for a free brow wax for the ladies and for the males, a free haircut. The coupons will have an expiration date on them of Feb 28th so they will have approximately two months to redeem.

Promotion: Each month we will have a new promotion and our vendor, Mizani will be supplying the free product so the promotions will not cost us any money. We will do viral promotions through Facebook and twitter where we give away free product and the winner has to come into the salon to claim their prize. Once or twice a year, we will give away something in addition to the free product like a free style and color or a free cut and color.

Here is the front page of our website looks like. We designed it ourselves at no cost.

It can be found by going to www.salonecosavannah.weebly.com



Our Featured Products: Salon Eco will carry, exclusively, Mizani products which are all natural and cannot be found in any other salon in the Savannah area.
