Executive Summary

The College Cafe is a student-to-student Internet marketplace providing college students with the opportunity to buy,
sell and trade college textbooks, participate in auctions, post classified ads, provide teacher evaluations, and buy
products for college.  The College Cafe's target market consists of over 15.8 million college students who spend $200
billion annually.  The College Cafe was founded in July and is presently in its start-up stage.

1.1 Solution
The College Cafe will enable students to buy, sell, and trade used textbooks directly to other students, by-passing the
university bookstores.  By selling textbooks to other students, the seller can receive more money than the bookstore
will pay and the buyer can pay less than the bookstore charges.  In addition to textbooks, students will be able to sell
class notes, old tests, computers, dorm accessories, used CDs, tutoring services or anything students wish to sell via
an online student-to-student marketplace.  In addition, the College Cafe will offer other services such as classifieds,
teacher evaluations, weblogs (bloggers), specialized content and retail. 

The College Cafe will establish itself as the leading online student-to-student marketplace by combining extensive
market-specific expertise with Internet technologies to generate revenue while creating a win-win solution for
students.  The College Cafe will achieve market dominance by utilizing extensive domain experience, a local grass
roots marketing strategy, an exceptional management team, superior software, and the formation of strategic
alliances, memberships and partnerships with companies within the college market.

1.2 Market
The U.S. college student market is a growing yet underserved niche market.  The U.S. Department of Education
expects the U.S. college student market to grow from 15.8 million students to 17.2 million in the next five years. 
According to Harris Interactive college students are expected to spend over $200 billion this year. 

1.3 Opportunity
College students are eager to find ways to get "quick cash" at the end of every semester.  One method college
students use is to sell their old textbooks at the end of every semester, however the re-sell market is controlled by the
local university bookstore.  Because university bookstores monopolize the market, students receive only a fraction of
the value paid for the book, typically 75% or less of the purchase prices.  The bookstores then re-sell the books back
to other students, receiving over 125% profit.  The current situation creates a lose-lose situation for students and a
win-win situation for bookstores.  Students are looking for convenient, money saving ways to purchase textbooks and
to receive more value when re-selling textbooks at the end of each semester.

1.4 Financial & Capital Requirements


According to the opportunities and requirements for The College Cafe described in this business plan, we have
determined the following financial projections:

 Generate exceptional revenues by the end of year one.


 Report profits during the 9th month of operation.
 Exceed a 1.5x increase in sales and profits by the end of year three.

The College Cafe will require an initial seed investment as well as later rounds of investment.  The initial seed capital
will be used for marketing and customer acquisition, software and website development.

1.5 Objectives
The College Cafe will strive to achieve the following objectives:

 Become the leading Internet student-to-student marketplace


 Attract 500,000 registered users in the first year
 Achieve 50,000 visits per month
 Establish sustainable profitability within the first year

Market Analysis Summary


The U.S. college student market is a growing yet under-served niche market.  The U.S. Department of Education
expects the U.S. college student market to grow from 15.8 million students in 2003 to 17.2 million in 2008.  According
to a Harris Interactive study conducted in the spring of 2002, college students spend an estimated $200 billion dollars
per year.  As of 2003, it is estimated that college students were spending $1.4 billion online.

John Geraci, Vice President of Youth Research at Harris Interactive concludes: "The college consumer is easily
overlooked since most information sources that marketers rely on for tracking consumer behavior tend to under-
represent college students.  However, it is a consumer group that marketers should recognize as offering substantial
opportunity.  Connecting with consumers during the college years can pay great dividends, both now and well into the
future."

universities in the Northeast.

4.5 Competitive Anaylsis


Competitors of The College Cafe includes traditional university bookstores, online textbook retailers, textbook
exchange sites, textbook price comparison sites, online auction sites and online content specific sites targeting the
college student market.

4.5.1 University Bookstores


The major objective and strategy of university bookstores is to maintain competitive pricing and customer service. 
The strengths of the traditional university bookstores are current customer relationships and location to the
University.  The major weaknesses of university bookstores are the limited product selection and lack of value added
services that can be offered online.

The National Association of College Stores estimates U.S./Canadian university bookstore sales to be $11.12 billion
for the 2001-2002 academic year. 

There are approximately 4,840 college bookstores serving 4,182 institutions in the United States and 170 college
stores in Canada.  Larger universities will often have several stores to serve students, smaller schools in a local area
may be served by a single store, and several schools in an urban community may share multiple retail outlets.  While
many college stores share a common mission, they vary widely in size, location, ownership, and customer base.

The majority of stores are owned or operated by the university they serve.  On-campus stores are mostly institutional,
but they may also be contract managed, cooperatives, or student associations.  Off-campus stores are typically
privately owned.

Sales volume in college stores is determined by many factors, but the major influence on sales seems most closely
tied to the size of the institution served.  According to the NACS College Store Industry Financial Report 2003,
average sales per college store were $6,320,556 while the median was $3,303,062.  The majority of college stores
have less than $1 million in sales each year.

According to the NACS College Store Industry Financial Report 2003, college stores returned a median net income of
7.3% of net sales to their institutions.

NACS Membership by Sales Volume


Sales Volume in $$ Member Stores
Under $1 million 57.0%
$1 to $3 million 27.5 %
$3 to $7 million  9.8%
Over $7 million  5.8%
4.5.2 Online Bookstores & Retail Websites
The major objective and strategy of online competitors is to maintain brand awareness, offer value added services,
product selection/availability, order fulfillment and customer service.  The strengths of existing online bookstores and
retail sites are current customer relationships and brand awareness.  The major weaknesses of online competitors is
barriers to entry, concern about security & fraud, shipping charges, on-time fulfillment and returns processing.

Based on the 2003 College Store Industry Financial Report, total online sales at university bookstores for 2001-2002
are estimated to be $150 million or 1.41% of total college store sales.  With a "click and mortar" strategy, the
university bookstore can offer the convenience of web ordering, paired with:

 Ease of returns
 The ability to pick up items for immediate use
 One-stop shopping
 Accurate information on what textbooks students need for their courses
 The trust and security of buying from a well-known source with an on-campus location

The following table lists some of the major independent online retailers not associated with a university bookstore:

Marketing Strategy
The College Cafe's customers will be the 15.8 million college students in the United States.  This segment is a niche
market that has no single business entity accounting for any significant percentage of total aggregated college
student purchases.

The main business model for The College Cafe relies on college students providing textbooks, auctions, classifieds
and teacher evaluations available on the website.  Therefore, our focus will be on the marketing strategy to increase
student traffic and usage.  In turn, visitor volume and transactions will maintain the inventory of products and services
offered.

The College Cafe recognizes the key to success as an extensive promotion strategy to attract users.  Once additional
funding is secured the advertising and promotion plan will be implemented.

5.1 Strategic Alliances

The College Cafe is looking to form relationships with major companies in the college student market.  Companies
that we will approach included university merchandise manufacturers or resellers, specialized content suppliers, new
and used textbook wholesalers and local businesses.

5.2 Promotion Strategy

The College Cafe's overall advertising and promotional objectives are to:

 Acquire customers and generate sales.


 Position The College Cafe as the market leader.
 Increase company awareness and brand name recognition among college students.
 Collect market research to create immediate and long-term marketing plans.
5.3 Marketing Programs

The College Cafe will attract customers by using a mixture of traditional and online advertising strategies to create a
grassroots marketing campaign. 

Since the majority of The College Cafe's customer acquisition will result from direct promotion local to universities,
The College Cafe will recruit current college students to fill positions in the areas of campus marketing, local
advertisement sales and implementation of a "grassroots" marketing campaign. 

The following is a list of advertising and promotional channels The College Cafe will utilize:

1. Posting Flyer in and around campuses


2. Direct Mailings
3. University and local newspaper advertising and inserts
4. Promotional item distribution
5. Advertisements at on-campus kiosk
6. "Welcome Back to School" registration booths 
7. "Welcome Back to School" care-package inserts
8. Sponsorship of recreational/intermural team sports
9. Sponsorships of campus or community events
10. University and local newspaper advertising
11. Indoor/outdoor billboard advertisements at college sporting events
12. Banner ads on select related sites with a significant level of traffic
13. Links on related web sites
14. Traditional media including direct mailings, magazines, radio and TV
15. Registration with all the major search engines

Sourcing
The main business model for The College Cafe relies on college students providing the textbooks, auctions,
classifieds and teacher evaluations that are posted on the website.  Therefore, our focus relies heavily on the
marketing strategy that will increase traffic and usage and, in turn, maintain our inventory of products and services. 

For the retail business component we will establish relationships with manufacturers or distributors that offer drop-
shipments direct to the customer.  This will allow The College Cafe to keep expenses associated with inventory and
distribution to a minimum.

We will be contracting students as subject matter experts to provide the content in the weblogs.  The use of students
as weblog content experts will help keep costs to a minium yet still providing interesting and relevant content.

For content and other value added service we will establish relationships with 3rd party vendors.  This will enable The
College Cafe to offer a wide variety of products and services online yet allow The College Cafe to focus on the key
business elements; textbooks, auctions, classifieds and teacher evaluations.

Technology
The website is designed with the needs of the college student as the focus.  The College Cafe is built using Microsoft
technologies which will provide the flexibility to easily expand products and service offerings in the future.  The
College Cafe will initially host the website with an external web-hosting vendor thus reducing initial start-up cost.  At a
later date, The College Cafe may elect to bring hosting in-house for better support and maintenance. 

The Textbook Exchange, Auction, Classified, and User Administration software was purchased from Xcent Software,
Inc and modified to support The College Cafe's business needs.  The rights to the source code of the Xcent's
software were included in the purchase price of the software.  This will enable our programmers to customize the
software to support The College Cafe's growing business needs.

The College Cafe website and databases are hosted by Atl-Connect Internet Services which guarantees 99.99%
uptime.  In addition to Web hosting, Atl-Connects provides site monitoring and statistical performance metrics that
include uptime, page views, unique users, banner impressions, search keywords stats and link stats from other sites.

Financial Plan
The following are the summarized points from The College Cafe's financial plan.  All charts and tables supporting
these results are included in the appendix at the end of the business plan:

 The College Cafe will generate assertive revenues by the end of year one.
 The College Cafe will start reporting sustained profits during the 9th month of the 1st year.
 Sales and profits by year three will top 1.5x that of year one.
 The College Cafe will require an initial investment in capital to finance the marketing campaign and launch
strategy.
 The College Cafe will require additional investment to fund additional Web development, sales and
marketing efforts and general operating expenses.

The College Cafe will provide a complete student-to-student marketplace.  Investment contacts have already been
approached and their expressions of satisfaction and encouragement are numerous.  We intend to continue our
advances with more unique and effective business solutions for the the college market.  Based on the attached
financial projections, we believe that this venture represents a sound business investment. 

9.1 Important Assumptions


The financial projections are based on the following assumptions and facts for the industry as outlined in our market
analysis:

 As of 2003, college students spend and estimated $200 billion annually.


 There are over 15.8 million college students.
 The founders have contributed significant capital.
 The fee for posting textbooks will equal $3 per textbook.
 The fee for posting classifieds will equal $5 per classified.
 The sales margin for products sold will average 15% and vary based on product.

9.2 Start-up Funding
In order to implement The College Cafe Phase 1 marketing campaign and launch strategy, we are seeking an initial
seed investment of $150,000.  An additional investment of $1 million will be required for operational expenses,
continuing marketing campaigns, additional website enhancements, maintenance and support as necessary to
establish and maintain The College Cafe as the leading online student-to-student market place.

As detailed in the Cash Balance chart for one year, The College Cafe will be able to begin and sustain its operations
with the above mentioned investments.  We are confident the opportunities in the market place are so compelling
that with year one cash flows, The College Cafe will grow and take advantage of the growth in the college market.

9.3 Use of Funds
Initial funding proceeds will be used primarily for marketing, additional website development and maintenance.  All
the equipment needed will be leased or purchased, and included in the operational expenses.  The rest of the funds
will be used as working capital to maintain the operations until revenues generated by The College Cafe will be at the
point where we can sustain operational expenses.

9.4 Exit Strategy


The financial projections indicate that The College Cafe will have generated enough cash in the next five years to
permit the exit of the outside investors if so desired.  It is the founders' choice to continue with the company's
profitable operations until The College Cafe is presented with a viable offer for acquisition or the opportunity of an
IPO is contemplated.
