Mission

The mission of the MARKETING OVER EVERYTHING (M.O.E.) is to provide

companies with the highest level of event planning. We exist to attract and maintain
customers. When we adhere to this maxim, everything else will fall into place. Our
services will exceed the expectations of our customers.

Target Markets

MARKETING OVER EVERYTHING (M.O.E.) is providing services to corporate

customers and smaller companies on a situation needs basis. We will not be going after
the "social event market" which is an alternative market niche within the event planning
industry.

The corporate customer is a company that contracts with MARKETING OVER

EVERYTHING (M.O.E.) to plan and typically host an event for the company.
Corporations will be turning to MARKETING OVER EVERYTHING (M.O.E.) to plan
the events because:

1. It is cost efficient for a third party to plan the event. This is the case because the
third party only does event planning so they can plan and host the event more
efficiently.
2. The company does not have additional people who can be taken away from their
daily jobs, nor time to invest in an infrequent event.

Our event planning services for corporate retreats will typically be utilized by larger
corporations. A larger company can be generally defined as one with more than 40
employees. Smaller companies sometimes will utilize this service of ours; however, it is
the larger corporations that typically have the budget for this activity.

For our product launch event planning, we will be servicing companies of all different
sizes. Typically the companies that use this service will be product based companies, but
we will also offer this service to service-based company who desire to announce a new
service that they are offering.

Situation Analysis

MARKETING OVER EVERYTHING (M.O.E.) is entering their first year of business.

Marketing will be critical to develop sufficient business to achieve profitability. The
company offers high quality event planning for two specific areas, corporate training and
product release events. The basic market need is for a competent service provider
offering high quality event planning at a price that is cost effective relative to a company
trying to plan the events themselves.
Market Summary

its typical customer. This includes customer needs, the general circumstances from which
the needs arise, and the difficulties the customer would face if they tried to satisfy these
needs themselves. This information will be leveraged to better understand who is served,
individual customers' specific needs, better communication channels, and how
MARKETING OVER EVERYTHING (M.O.E.) can satisfy those needs.
