0 Executive Summary

Ones Transport Services is a 100% citizen owned company that is in the tourism industry as it

first of its kind in our country and therefore faces no competition as there is no business in
Botswana that provides rental of land cruisers that transport tourists except us.

The company will be financed by a loan amount of P1 200 000 from CEDA. This money will be
used to buy the land cruisers as they are very expensive and pay the bills and employees for the
whole first year. As our future prospects, we dont only intend to provide land cruisers but we
want to include aircraft and boats as the company grows with time.

2.3 Company Location

The company will be located in Maruapula, Gaborone. This location is ideal because Gaborone
is the hub of trade in Gaborone so access to market and services will be easier in Gaborone. It is
also in the plans of this company to open a new office in the future at Maun because that is
where 90% of our market is based.

3.0 Services

Ones transport Services provides the service of transporting tourists in their land cruisers. These
land cruisers are very crucial to the tourism industry in Botswana which faces massive
competition from other countries as they are comfortable and designed mainly for tourists. Most
companies that provide this service of transporting tourists use any other vehicle like buses
because land cruisers are very expensive. One's Transport Services found it upon itself to help
those companies that cannot buy these vehicles by hiring them out to them.

It comes with time when our country is going through a lot of developmental improvements.
This means that tourists will come touring into our country and they need comfortable vehicles
to transport them as they tour our beautiful Botswana. This pouring of tourists is catalyzed by the
initiative of Botswana to process its diamonds in its home soil and sell them as finished products.
This service of providing land cruisers at reasonable prices will help attract tourists into our
country.

3.1 Competitive Comparison


4
There are currently no other competitors in this market. The only competition that we expect will
be from other modes of transport which are air and water.

3.2 Future Services

It is possible for Ones transport Services to include water transport and air based transport as the
company grow and star to generate income.

4.0 Marketing Analysis

As part of our marketing strategy Ones transport services will create a website of its own to
reach wider market as technology has advanced and more people rely on the internet for services.
We also distributed questionnaires to ask our future customers how they view our product and
the response was positive. To stay in the market for a long time we have decided to put an advert
on Botswana Television for the whole year.

4.1 Target Market

Our target market is all companies that deals directly with tourists by providing guides and
cuisines.

4.2 Niche Market

As we all know that land cruisers are very expensive and therefore not all companies are able to
buy them, we have looked into that niche market which is companies that cannot afford land
cruisers and yet are in the tourism industry and came up with the product that suite them at
affordable prices.

5.0 Strategy and Implementation


5.1 Marketing Strategy

The main marketing strategy that the company will pursue will be to make potential customers
aware of us through the internet, television and the radio.

5.2 Distribution Strategy

The method of distribution will be to hire the vehicles straight from our offices and we expect
our customers to collect them themselves.

5.3 Pricing Strategy

We price our products at a level that is affordable to our customers. Our land cruisers will be
hired at a fixed amount of P45 000 per month.

5.4 Sales Strategy

Since the main part of the business will come from customers that are ready to rent there will be
no direct selling.
