Topic: Gelato Shop (Name: GoldenSpoon)
Joe has been working in the food industry for 10 years and seen the rise of gelato shops. He thinks there is an opportunity for healthy low fat deserts and would like to use his savings to open a gelato shop in Canberra. He approached a marketing consult to assist him with developing a marketing plan for the new business.
He would like to have an analysis of the uncontrollable environment, a detailed overview of the ice cream stores industry, competition situation (including competition types and competition levels), and consumer trends in Canberra. He needs geo-demographic information that will enable him to choose a location for the business in Canberra and target a specific target.
He then needs a detailed marketing strategy that provides advice in regards to product, pricing, location and promotion.
