Casablanca: A Right Start Venue | Application Preview
Casablanca: A Right Start Venue is seeking government grants to fund renovations aimed at boosting its curb appeal and enhancing its marketing efforts within the community. The goal is to attract more traffic to the venue by implementing targeted advertising strategies, emphasizing the concept of “100 messages in 100 different ways” to increase visibility.
The business plan highlights the need for minor cosmetic upgrades to keep the venue trendy and appealing, especially as consumers are more selective in their venue choices during challenging economic times. In light of the pandemic, Casablanca focuses on serving gatherings of fewer than 100 people, catering to a niche market that values smaller, more personalized event experiences.
Casablanca’s competitive advantage lies in its ability to create customized events for groups of 20-84 people at affordable prices, unlike larger venues such as Booking House, The Bond, and The Cork Factory. The venue offers a variety of rental options, including packages that collaborate with local vendors for services like catering and decorations, fostering a sense of community support and collaboration.
By funding these renovations and advertising efforts, investors will be supporting a small business that not only meets a specific demand in the market but also contributes to the local economy through job creation and partnerships with nearby businesses.

Business Plan
My plan to grow the business includes spending additional capital funds on diverse and targeted advertising/marketing campaigns. Using the the expression "100 messages in a 100 different ways" to spur an increase in traffic to the business. The business itself needs small cosmetic work to keep it looking relevant and up to date with trends. Consumers are taking extra steps to vet a location during tough financial times, and I need critical improvements to the space in order to stand out. Investors should take notice of what Casablanca is and represents. It is a small business employing less than 10 people, that aims itself at exploring the need for a smaller event space. The critical choice to create a property focused on gatherings less than 100 was spurred by our nation's struggle with the pandemic and everyone's realization that more is not necessarily better. The small venue space is perfectly tailored to those looking for a highly stylized and functional event space without the size and price of its larger competitors. The comparison I like to draw is an example from the aviation industry. Not every airline operates large jets, but every airline needs small planes to fulfill roles. Casablanca is that example of a niche filling organization that serves those looking for a smaller space with a smaller budget.
