Business Plan
I want to grow by offering quality, locally produced products. We don't have an advertising budget, so we offer a rewards program and rely heavily on word of mouth. We are getting some traction on social media which will help draw new customers. We are doing some local trade type shows as well. Our business is retail of products that are eco-friendly, recyclable, reusable, and/or made from natural or organic ingredients. There are a lot of online presence in this field, but not very many brick an mortar stores. We are in a college town (pop. 70k) with a strong population of like minded people. We are at the cusp of making a difference and some additional funds would help considerably.

Self Identified Competition
There are few competitors in the area. Most are online competitors. We are hoping people see the value in locally sourced products and reduction of the sheer amount of packaging and shipping (many from different locations) and emissions from the delivery vehicles involved. We are trying to reduce our carbon footprint in an era where landfills are overflowing and products are being made that do not degrade or compost for hundreds of years.
