COMPANY NAME



4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy



COMPANY NAME will form intimate relationships with its customers because this relationship will provide COMPANY NAME with

special insight, which will allow the company to meet any need a customer might have COMPANY NAME will develop close

relationships to the limited number of other carriers that are equipped to transport for clients when COMPANY NAME is unexpectedly

unavailable in order to keep the customer relationship. Lastly, the growth of large corporate competition struggling due to the

economic fallout makes more room for smaller independent companies to thrive. This growth rate is especially attractive.



4.3 Service Business Analysis



There are many different freight services. This market is broken up into generalists, handling all types of freight brokerage,

and specialists, handling materials ranging from heavy equipment, oversized loads, perishable commodities, or hazardous materials.



Customers make the shipping decision based on service (defined by many variables including customer service, speed, and safety of

the product) and price. Most business is repeat business, 70-80% according to industry statistics. Once a customer finds someone

who they are happy with, they typically stay with them.



4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns



Although there are major players in each of the commercial carrier market segments, the market remains highly fragmented.

According to the Indiana Yellow Pages, there are numerous companies providing different kinds of the trucking services. Major

competitors for COMPANY NAME are those companies who have comparable truck fleets and are targeting the general public.



Market research shows that customers are price sensitive, and they value on-time deliveries, special handling capabilities, and less-

than-truckload orders. Customer referrals and carrier's reputation are believed to strongly influence the buying decision.



COMPANY NAME is confident that the company can continue to provide fast, efficient and on-time service with care.



5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary



COMPANY NAME will be going after the general trucking and transportation market. This is a reasonable target, due to COMPANY

NAME.'s industry knowledge. COMPANY NAME will be bringing customers aboard through the use of referrals, advertising and

networking from over 10 years of industry experience. COMPANY NAME will turn these leads into customers through the

company's specialized knowledge which translates to superior service offerings.



5.1 Competitive Edge



COMPANY NAME seeks to establish a competitive edge in its new target market segment by increasing the level of customer contact

and service that other competitors seem to oftentimes lack. Additionally, COMPANY NAME possesses the necessary skills to produce

the high quality service that is needed in this field.



This specialized knowledge, coupled with an unsatiated need to exceed customer's expectations will give COMPANY NAME, Inc. the

competitive advantage to succeed in this industry. COMPANY NAME has made it their mission to provide the finest customer service

possible. This makes good business sense, particularly in this industry where so much of the business is repeat business.

COMPANY NAME



5.2 Marketing Strategy



COMPANY NAME markets its services as solutions to the many companies requiring cargo to be transported promptly and efficiently.

The company's future marketing plans will be nationwide, emphasizing haulage capabilities for any cargo. The overall marketing plan

for services is based on the following fundamentals:

 Distribution channels planned to reach market segments: television, radio, sales associates, and mailings.

 Share of the market expected to capture over a fixed period of time.



5.3 Sales Strategy

report of all the carriers within the area. COMPANY NAME will then attempt to enter into mutually beneficial relationships with

them. Routh Trucking Company, Inc. will also have a large portfolio of possible customers that have been developed through

marketing and networking activities. Customers will have a desire to work with COMPANY NAME if they see that COMPANY NAME is
