Hi all I'm hoping that you all can help me find some great business plans examples. I'm looking to start and mobile advertising business and I would be great if I could see the copy of a similar business plan, even if its just a billboard business plan. I've checked bplans.com and I just don't have the money right now to invest into a program that I will only use once. But if anyone has any examples or could help me out I would be so grateful. I'm in Alabama and plan to stay local so if you have an advertising business simular to this and have plan you would like to share with me that would be great also. Thanks so much in advance. I apperciate all your time.

What people are saying about “Discount Business Strategy”:
“Michael Andersen and Flemming Poulfelt provide a provocative discussion of the rapidly growing role of discounters across numerous industries: how they operate; how they create uniqueness; and how they can destroy value for incumbents. Understanding the specific moves and tools that the authors analyze will be valuable for attackers and incumbents alike.”
–Adrian J. Slywotzky, Director, Mercer Management Consulting USA
“This book is very timely, dealing with today’s most critical strategic issue: how to provide more value to the consumer through aggressive discounting. Those players in manufacturing and distribution who master this will be the winners; many established firms will fall by the wayside. A similar set of issues are facing many nations today – Europe vs. Asia “
–Peter Lorange, President, IMD, Switzerland
“Andersen and Poulfelt have researched one of the most important themes in today’s business world – how fundamentally new business models have wiped out establishments not with new products or technologies, but by creating new rules for conventional industries. Read this book and learn how to recognize the disruption of your industry before it is too late “
–Sigurd Liljenfeldt, Senior Partner, Monitor Group, France
“This book asks if a firm can have its cake and eat it too – that is, maintain high quality at low prices. My favourite example and shopping place is big box Costco. Ikea is another. A must read for a broad audience concerned about corporate survival “
–Professor Larry E. Greiner, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, USA
The aspiration to adopt the right strategy still prevails over the business world. But is there a single ‘best’ strategy for a company? Can an organization create sustainable competitive advantage from an ‘off-the-peg’ strategy? And are most companies likely to craft a strategy that genuinely creates uncontested market space and makes the competition irrelevant?
The answer to all these questions is probably ‘No’. And the rising tide of companies like Dell, CostCo, Skype and Linux means that asking them at all may soon be futile. While strategists have foundered in old paradigms, a new breed of competitors has emerged. Value destroyers. Old-style thinking understood value destruction when it was confined to an industry and driven by a new product or technology. But what are the implications when the destruction stems from a new way of thinking – from a strategy that simultaneously creates value?
The implications are enormous. Every company in every industry is potentially at risk.
This risk – or opportunity – is precisely the reason for this book and its focus on exploring why and how some companies have bridged the gap between differentiator and cost leader strategies to emerge as winners in hypercompetitive markets, and what this entails in terms of value destruction and creation. Discounting organizations are here to stay – are you?

I recently started my own cleaning business and would greatly appreciate any unique marketing ideas anyone could suggest. I have already passed out fliers, put an ad in the paper, and posted on craigslist. If you can think of anything else – please let me know!! Thanks!
Good luck with your new cleaning business. With being the owner of this company you can set yourself apart in the beginning from all of the other cleaning businesses, by being unique in what you have to offer your clients.
My suggestions would be to:
1. Think organic, use environmentally safe cleaning products only. Market yourself as being different and unique, and develop a business plan to clean your clients homes and businesses using only products that are chemical free and environmentally safe.
2. Advertise on your car or van that you use only chemical free and environmentally friendly products.
3. Set up a client referral system.
4. Put in your search browser, (free advertising + your city) This will bring up a lot of areas you can advertise your business for free online
5. Think about having your own website to advertise
Hope this helps.
hi! i am a stay at home wife looking to start up my own business…i'm not looking to be a millionare, just my own boss.
what do you think of these ideas?
1. children's party planning : i live in an area of wealthy people, they love throwing their kids parties…i love planning them…
2. "green" cleaning….non toxic cleaning services
3. "green" event planning
I think you could combine ideas 1 & 3, as both involve event planning. "Green" is very hot right now, so that could be good for marketing. If you do not exclusively focus on children's party planning, but offer it as one of your specialties, that might work for you. I suggest that you do some market research before you invest any of your money in start-up. Your friends are going to do what friends do and be supportive and tell you it's a good idea, but you really need to know if enough people are going to spend their money on what you are offering.
There are government programs aimed at people who want to start up their own businesses, as well as business development banks, etc. They often have packages to help with doing up a business plan. They have checklists to make sure you consider all the expenses and red tape, such as liability insurance, etc.
Good luck!
