1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Name Of The Company
Dizzy Bizzy Fit World

1.2 Nature of Business We provide quality fitness center, fitness center which is customer driven with the goal to help those that are in bad physical state to get started in changing their life for the better. We offer our customers not just equipment to use or facilities in which to practice on, but an image, a lifestyle, and a standard of living. In order to maintain clients and attract new customers, the business must stay current with exercise trends. The trend that we following to attract the customers are efficient workouts, mind-body exercise, such as yoga, workouts that promote core strength, diet counseling, exercise for the whole family and routines that are gentle on joints. This is what Dizzy Bizzy Fit World will provide to each of its members. We will combine the use of various sports in order to appeal to all those who desire to develop useful skills and personal health. Personal training directed specifically to individuals will help every member with his or her goals and longer club hours will ensure that each customer will have access to our facilities during time that is convenient for them. Our motto, Our goals are to reach your goals will be the aspiration of all our employees and will cheer up customer satisfaction. Our mission is not just to create a sports club but also to educate and assist people to become healthier, more competitive, better looking, and passionate about their lives.

1.3 Industry Profile Industry analysis is the outlook for the specific industry where we look at the level of competition in the industry. As our company, the evaluation of the competitive position is an essential and a vital element for us. Our competitors consist of various, well-known, and yet the established cupcake shops that have survived in the industry to a great extent of economic difficulties such as UTHM Gym and Jom Sihat. Another consideration that we analyst is the cases of obesity was increasing from year to year. This is because of the trend and lifestyle of the people nowadays more prefers a fast food and their attitude of laziness. The benefits of being in this industry include meeting people, adding income, gaining independence and enjoyable way of life and perhaps restoring a new building. The business can give great satisfaction as it grows into a valuable investment or market. Here we include our PEST and SWOT analysis for our potential business. PEST analysis is an effective way to analyze external impacts on the service. This requires examining political, economic, social, technological environments. Political Malaysia Government policy has potential to influence the market, specific initiatives could benefit the industry but theres also a broader push on the part of the government to try and promote healthy eating and exercise possibly resulting in more people seeking fitness membership. Economic Factors such as utilities prices and wage rates will affect numerous aspects of the company. Meanwhile, Fitness clubs costs will rise and members may need to priorities their spending as cuts are made on their disposable income, especially in the prospect group. The evidence is that almost all consumers will cut back spending almost everywhere, and for people with lower incomes, a health and fitness club is very likely a first cut. Indicators such as unemployment rates and consumer expenditure are expected to contribute to not a very good operating environment. This means there will be a lot less disposable income available to be spent on discretionary items such as a health and fitness club membership and companies less likely to allocate precious funds to such an activity. The foreseeable future looks extremely difficult.

Social Lifestyle factors such as growth in convenience foods and home entertainment have resulted in more sedimentary lifestyles, consumption levels of alcohol are raising which will effect gym participation and subscription. In todays celebrity culture theres lots of pressure to look better and have nice body, this has influenced the levels of people who want to improve themselves.

Demographic changes are increasing the proportion of older (and, over time, very old) people; technology is blurring distinctions between the real and the virtual, the isolated and the social, and what is a product and what is a service. The middle classes with Western-style taste and aspirations are arising quickly in developing nations. Immediate gratification is increasingly sought and delivered. On the socio cultural spectrum there is a growing interest in sport, and the importance of fitness and health in this regard. Alongside this trend is societys growing consciousness of the importance of health. Health and fitness clubs have sprung up across the nation in recent years, alongside the realization that good health brings important benefits. People are a lot more conscious than they were 20 years ago about cholesterol and blood pressure etc. It is now recognized that exercise helps with all kinds of life-threatening ailments, such as diabetes and heart disease. It helps with high cholesterol, self-confidence, and self-image and weight loss.

As people get older many begin to place an emphasis on preventative medicine. Exercise is one of the biggest preventative activities one can take part in. The benefits are said to be physical and psychological. Obviously the exercise benefits are the same regardless, but the psychological component and the social component is said to be considerable also. People don't work out anymore just to get their heart rate up because their doctor tells them to. There's also real stress relief with working out. The general trend in fitness facilities has steered away from the body building kind, and more into the wellness mode.

Technological Its important that the Fitness center have up to date machines to compete with others and satisfy the needs of the members. Dizzy Bizzy Fit World center use technology to target the public in an effective way, text messages with special offers and online free trial vouchers. Better communication will enable an always connected society for most people, medicine and science will enable new ways to achieve wellness and fitness. The nanotechnology and computing power are likely to mimic and then transform human brainpower. Technology is likely to empower consumers to choose from a range of fitness options to supplement (or perhaps replace) social and club-based options. For example, a virtual personal trainer might lead your workout while youre at home alone, you might be able to link from home to your gyms group-fitness experience, you might get your exercise while appearing in a virtual game show with your friends, or maybe youll go walking in the park and experience it as a virtual science-fiction battle. Such options are foreshadowed in product customization and personalized services, including in the fitness industry.

There is a clear trend toward web-based solutions, which allow fitness club management and staff members to connect in real time with members and clients, focusing on their needs and making their experiences more enjoyable. This can also allow fitness club members and personal training clients to schedule classes and appointments online, as well as pay for services. Online productivity tools offer the opportunity to drive down costs and raise productivity levels. There have been considerable advances in the development of health and fitness technologies. The concept of entertainment (video games that provide exercise) looks to have the potential to open up physical exercise to a whole new variety of consumer types.

The SWOT analysis are as below : Strength Well trained, respected staff. Corporate segment capability Family and bachelor focus State of the art 5 star facility Rest Room Music Nutrition counseling Aerobic studio (cardio, dance) Cardio equipment. Good convenient location in the centre of Parit Raja

In the relatively near future, fitness offerings will evolve strongly into this niche of motivation. The motivation our fitness center having here is an enjoyable experience, with movement and exercise as

(possibly unconscious) by products. This is a marked shift from the traditional hard work approach to fitness, and is likely to grow in two distinct areas, both appealing to younger consumers. Our Dizzy Bizzy Fit World center provides blends of games, sport and dance will offer fitness and activity that are driven by fun, pleasure and sociability not by effort and hard work. With regarding Exergaming consumers will seek fitness and activity as a game driven by enjoyment where technology will evolve this segment into entertainment with rich sensory experiences, and eventually virtual realities that involve movement, social networks, escapism and new experiences. Our Dizzy Bizzy Fit World understand about this inspirational segment is emerging now and is likely to grow with consumers insistence on living out their values and as science and technology make it cheaper to

achieve such intangible goals. These consumers are active as part of achieving a better quality of life with quality broadly and richly defined. Motivations in this niche may include a better healthier life in which a premium is placed on physical health and life extension. Our Dizzy Bizzy Fit World clears about sociability in which people seek communication, connection, relationships and shared experiences, no doubt shaped by continuing evolution of communication technologies.

Provide low-tech solutions (returning to nature, opting out or disconnecting) or through new techniques (proactive medication, for example). We are helping people become fit as a

secondary consequence of activity they undertake for companionship, meaning or entertainment. This implies the search for meaning, in which people place emotional, social
and spiritual integrity at the core of their beings possibly through.

Developed highly customized fitness products and experiences that meet consumers demands for exercise, athletic clothing and fitness advice whatever way I want them

Offering fitness products and services that link people across vast distances in multiple locations simultaneously.

Satisfying consumers who place a high value on and pay high rewards to individuals and companies who can help them synthesize the wide array of choices that become available, and maximize their benefit for each individual.

Become a key partner in working with healthy and at-risk populations to promote and sustain wellness. Giving a regular access to the consumer, fitness professionals become a central hub in the health information flow, feeding health-monitoring information and insights to healthcare providers.

Weakness Busy Schedule of students Rising costs Childcare facility overload. High costs associated with customized, personal service. The inability to work on a high volume business model. The costs of attracting large corporate clients.

Opportunities Relatively low levels of health & fitness centre in Parit Raja. We are the first venturing fitness center in Parit Raja. Growing consumer and corporate interest in personal well-being, health and fitness. Younger people are becoming increasingly inactive and obese (the so-called Gen XL), older populations and cures for acute illnesses may lead to an age of chronic diseases.

Wellness and illness prevention will become a greater focus, over time, a radical extension of life expectancy is possible. Hidden demand from people who are interested in fitness (or at least the sort of wellness that comes from being fit), but who are not interested in gyms. Offering of todays fitness industry, where consumers make fitness part of their lives. They seek an experience that is functional and that meets their personal goals to weight control, arthritis, stress reduction, improving specific body parts, building sport or lifestyle skills, or achieving life-stage goals like reducing the effects of ageing.

The government has expressed increasing concerns about the growing incidence of obesity in the country and recognizes the social, health and economic benefits to society of participating in sport and fitness activities. These will benefits our business where can be encouraged and expanded across the population to groups who are currently not participating actively is now getting more attention. The promotion of more healthy lifestyles is fast moving up the political agenda.

10

Threats Consumers who rarely exercise or move for results, and who reject active experiences that require effort. As populations age and obesity grows, the number of consumers in this group is likely to increase. Their health status is likely to decline even further and attract the efforts of governments and the health-insurance industry. Based on current performance, the fitness industry faces an enormous challenge in appealing to this group. Any decline in living standards and economic growth would make it even harder to reach this group as discretionary spending shrinks. The big challenge is improving broader population fitness by motivating them to stay active, integrating fitness into their daily lives, driving behavioral change by having instructors move from experts to partnerships, that implies better-trained professionals who are focused on longterm behavioral change, not on exercise facilities. Beyond the fitness industrys traditional markets, there will continue to be a large global underclass where billions of people in underdeveloped countries who struggle for lifes basics, and for whom organized, commercial fitness is an unimaginable. Another threat is that from the high street stores, as cost of machines come down, people can buy equipment to use at home. Consumers increasingly have many other ways of achieving the benefits of what we now call fitness. Science, technology, medicine, surgery, clothing and entertainment already provide cost-effective, low-effort, immediate gratification of those ends and the pace of new offerings is accelerating. Consumers are likely to seek to be active and fit when they want to and where they need it anywhere, anytime, at work, at home and while mobile and also seek increasingly skilled professionals to meet their needs, reinforced by governments and insurers, who will look to the fitness industry for greater accountability for its outcomes.

e. Form Of Business

- Partnership
A general partnership between two members would allow for all aspects of our business to receive substantial attention. In essence, the largest advantage is that with six part-owners we could all concentrate on smaller aspects of the business, therefore making the overall service superior. Another advantage of a general partnership is that the amount of capital raised is increased due to the number of entrepreneurs. This will be a significant advantage especially since the overall investment will be high. This high level of investment and the fact that partnerships involve unlimited liability will be somewhat eased because each person would be responsible for less monetary obligations. If desired, adding partners to our company could be a great source of capital and incentive to recruit highly valuable employees. By having this back up option, we could gain capital through limited partnerships or attain highly skilled workers through the promise of partnership. The last, and probably one of the most important reasons that we desire a partnership is that it is a fairly easy and simple form of business. In other words, it is easy to start. Right now a corporation would not give us the control over the company that we want. We feel that we have an excellent idea, a solid plan, and vision. Through a corporation our vision would be lost and only the financially safe plans would be approved. Using a soleproprietorship would only take away our greatest weapon; because we have three owners, each owner could concentrate solely upon a specific facet of the company, instead of one person worrying about many different problems. To conclude, the partnership route would allow for a simple start-up, increased capital, and a betterment of our overall service to customers.

17

Once established as a general partnership we can move on to the essential needs of the company. There are a few vital positions that need to be filled in order for our company to run smoothly. The first position that will need to be met will be a position in legal aid. In such a field where government restrictions, potential client injuries, and high-risk business moves are simply quotidian occurrences, a legal advisor would be a necessity. The second large pillar crucial to our success would be a head of sales and advertising. This job would include creating and executing a market plan in order to reach the target customers. Lastly, our company needs a general manager to ensure that our business is being run properly and that any problems can be easily relieved.

7.0 MARKETING PLAN


a. Product or service description What service our company is planning to offer?

Our Company is planning to provide a fitness service to the public for them to enhance their physical maintenance. Fitness was commonly defined as the capacity to carry out the days activities without undue fatigue. However, as automation increased leisure time, changes in lifestyles following the industrial revolution rendered this definition insufficient. In current contexts, physical fitness is considered a measure of the bodys ability to function efficiently and effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hypo kinetic diseases and to meet emergency situations. A comprehensive fitness program will be tailored by our center to an individual will probably focus on one or more specific skills and on age or health-related needs such as bone health. Besides that many sources also cite mental, social and emotional health as an important part of overall fitness. What is the service concept?

Our Dizzy Bizzy Fit World fitness center comprises two related concepts which is the general fitness (a state of health and well-being), and specific fitness (a task-oriented definition based on the ability to perform specific aspects of sports or occupations). Physical fitness is generally achieved through correct nutrition, exercise, and enough rest. Our Dizzy Bizzy Fit World is a health and fitness equipment chain center that caters to the development of healthy lifestyle of every Malaysian. Our health and fitness equipment ranges from innovative and high-tech treadmills, exercise bikes, multi-station strength training systems, weight training benches, fitness and aerobic accessories, health care products, food supplements and many more. Our Dizzy Bizzy Fit World fit concepts will provide health and fitness programs for all ages and abilities.

43

We located in the heart of Parit Raja city is best known for its unique community-based atmosphere where people can pursue their fitness goals. We enjoy working directly with clients while also managing the day-to-day operations of the club. Moreover, we were able to design a fully equipped fitness center, inclusive of exercise and massage studios, lockers and showers, while also expanding our fitness programs. Our professional team of certified personal trainers and instructors offer clients comprehensive programs customized to meet their fitness needs. Our expanded studios offer innovative group fitness classes as well as personalized wellness programs. Our Dizzy Bizzy Fit World also provides off-site youth camps designed to enhance speed and conditioning, as well as give instruction on injury prevention and rehabilitation for the young athlete. Dizzy Bizzy Fit World concepts are proud of its professional team. Our expert staff has the knowledge and experience to help people achieve their fitness goals. Whether people are

Product Orientation - We have well trained and qualified experienced trainers who will provide product orientation in achieving customers or members fitness target and well being at the convenience of their home. Are these services potentially to generate more sales?

Although the fitness industry attempts to keep membership numbers high by using contracts, it still faces the same challenges as any other business. Members break contracts. People don't keep up with their exercise and don't renew memberships. Fitness facilities have to keep the leads coming to keep their buildings full of customers. Keeping fit also is something that consumers can do on their own, so the fitness industry must be aggressive in generated leads. Our Dizzy Bizzy Fit World will use cost-efficient promotions which are the budget-friendly, efficient methods of generating names for our club's prospect files, and is the essential tools to complement major advertising and marketing campaigns. These promotions share three advantages over big-amount advertising:

Cost effectiveness Consistency Motivation

Cost Effectiveness

We don't always give the big offers effect, but we usually spend less money per member gained.

45

Consistency

It's a good way we bring in members during down cycles, when advertising just isn't paying off.

Motivation

It provides new prospects to motivate our salespeople to sell, unlike with advertising, where many of the people coming through the door are already sold.

Staff Promotions Staff promotions, such as "Be My Guest" promotions, can stimulate non-sales staff to bring in prospects for the salespeople. Staff members can get points for each prospect they bring in, and for each prospect the salespeople are able to close a sale on. Guest Discounts Guests of current members can be given a "check" redeemable toward a membership discount. The "check" should be dated to expire within 36 hours, thus encouraging the prospect to act quickly to take advantage of the discount. Free Use of Your Facility to Community Groups Provide local groups free use of your facility during a time when you're normally closed. Guests should sign in when they arrive, and you can follow up with mailings. The groups must be responsible for their own activities, so there's little to no cost to you besides keeping the facility open.

46

b. Market segmentation

Our ultimate goal would be to make every person aware of his or her health and then market to pretty much everyone. Due to occupation limitations, competitors, and limited marketing resources, such an impractical goal would be fruitless. Thus, we are forced to break the overall market place into a few basic categories.

As mentioned earlier, the UTHM students demographic will be the primary target market. This group already shows interest in the sports field and also has attained the necessary socioeconomic status allowing them to use our service.

The second will be the staffs from UTHM age bracket will be from 19 to 64 years . Although this age group does not have the buying power of the 5 -18 year olds, they still make up around 34.3% of the overall market and thus a very powerful group. Well, lets hypothetically imagine that our market was solely based upon people living in Parit Raja town where our fitness center will be processing.

It is an important issue to remember that the male population does take primary importance because they show interest in sports and fitness, which we are trying to advertise, yet equally important to realize that women not only make up 50% of Parit Raja town , but make up 50% of all gym memberships as well. As you can see the reason for concentrating on Malay people and Chinese people rather than any other ethnic group would be that they make up almost 53.81 % and 20 % of the population respectively.

Simple figures prove that marketing to this group would give us the largest number of possible customers. The age group that shows most prevalent would be the 19-64 years ranges by occupying 62.1% of the total population.

47

Also, we keep in mind simple logic. Would a child thats ten years old be going to a fitness center? Our guess would be no and thus we would eliminate that demographic. For families, we will offer special discount for family memberships. The last piece of information to take into account would be the income level of our ideal patron. From the numbers, we easily identify that only 25 % of the population is actually suffering from poverty ,the middle class income people is about 30.76 %, the middle upper class people is 26.15 % and the high class people will be 18.07 %.

48

Our customers are classified to everyone in this Parit Raja town but specifically our target market is the students and staffs in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia who are also the residents in Parit Raja town and holds the majority.

Competitors

Every company needs a competition. Competition is a challenge to do better. With competition companies are obligated to do their best in satisfying the customer by providing them with a quality product and excellent service. The industry is highly competitive and increasingly so. The greatest competitive advantages are location and quality of facilities and services. Dizzy Bizzy Fit World has two competitors who are almost similarly running the business under health and fitness. Within 1.5kilometre of Dizzy Bizzy Fit World there is 1 known operating gym at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) campus. There is also a brand new fitness centre called Jom Sihat, which is one of the competitors, who are very nearby to Dizzy Bizzy Fitness. The main competitor of Dizzy Bizzy Fitness is UTHM Gym Centre. As we planned, operators must innovate to attract new consumers and tempt existing consumers away from competitors. They continually update to offer the latest classes and equipment to keep the mainstream market interested. Such initiatives are spin classes, Zumba and mixed martial arts sessions. Perhaps the most innovative plan in Dizzy Bizzy fit World centre is offers rock-climbing and sleeping pod facilities. The location spread of fitness centres follows the spread of population especially that of the higher average disposable income. Dizzy Bizzy Fit World holds an edge over competitors because its the only multisport complex, that when built out, will offer a multipurpose. On top of this, the scope and variation of the fitness programs that will be run from this facility will be unmatched by any other facility in the area. Another competitive edge is the strategic location, size, and commuting time to the facility that will attract many people into the complex. It would be extremely desirable to have bus and vehicle transportation directly to the center with bus on the site or within easy walking distance.

54

By maintaining our focus in our strategy, marketing, program development, and fulfillment, Dizzy Bizzy Fit World will be known as the top sports and fitness venue within a 3 hour driving radius. The competitive edge of our facility may be diluted if we become complacent in our program development and implementation. It will be important for Dizzy Bizzy Fit World. to keep up with the current trends in both sport and fitness programs.

How to penetrate and maintain the targeted market share?

Dizzy Bizzy Fitness is entering the business with more concentrating especially on marketing to maintain growth and market penetration. In addition to offering fitness facilities, Dizzy Bizzy Fitness main activity is the creation and implementation of wellness programs. The basic market need is the reduction of corporate costs and the increase in employee efficiency that can be achieved through long-term wellness programs. Dizzy Bizzy have setup certain goal to penetrate and maintain the market share as well. The main goal is to market and advertise our product better than currently. We aim to 1000 people out of our target market will inquire about fitness membership by December 2013. Besides that, Increase gym membership to 40% by December 2013. The strategies that have set to achieve the goal are by Send mailers to Target Market. A graphic designer will be hired to create a postcard that is attractive to be mailed out. On the postcard, two free sessions will be offered with a new or renewed membership at Dizzy Bizzy. The postcard will also contain prices, the packages offered at Dizzy Bizzy, the location, a free tour, and the first class equipment that we have in our facility.

56

Secondly is keep staff updated, trained, and educated in nutrition and the latest exercise programs or techniques. These are to Increase current customer satisfaction. Hold semi-annual staff meetings or training sessions for all employees to attend featuring a guest speaker emphasizing the latest information on nutrition and exercise, or discussing an article containing pertinent health information. Have a suggestion box in the gym that customers can put ideas in. Also put a suggestion box online that website visitors can enter suggestions into. Keep gym equipment nice and up to date by making sure it is clean and wipe down equipment each day. Place disinfectant spray bottles on each piece of equipment so users can clean it off if desired. When a new piece of equipment arrives, make sure customers know about it and have a chance to try it out.

Price

The price/fee charge for customer REGULAR CUSTOMER MEMBERSHIP

RM 180 per month RM 10 registration fee No contract Price range RM 80 to RM 200

RM85 per monthly RM 5 Registration fee Contract about 1 year 3 days TRIAL Member card Price range RM 65 to RM 200

We set our price or fee regarding from another fitness center in Malaysia that already establish such as Fitness First, California Fitness, Clark Hatch Fitness Centre and others. Besides that, we are also set the price or fee based on the cost that we spend to buy equipment for fitness, pay worker salary, renovate the premises, rental, electric and water bill and telephone bill and others. So I think our price or fee is very competitive in the market because it is like another price fitness centre in Malaysia. After done the survey we got our price or fee actually did not very high or lower compare to another fitness centre. So we are trust to our fitness centre will gain more profit as much as we can. Our business Fitness Centre will give the customer personal training whereby personal training is not cheap. In Malaysia, a one hour personal training session can cost anywhere from RM80 to RM15O per hour. Why does it cost so much? That is because there is an endless list of benefits to personal training. Here some of them such as; a) Full attention of your personal training for that one hour whereby your personal training has to give you his full attention.

59

b) Customize program whereby with a personal training, he will custom design workout program based on your needs, goals, and of course your body type and fitness level. c) The personal training also is able to correct your form immediately if you are doing the exercise wrongly, the personal training will be able to see it and correct you immediately. d) Propose a personalized nutrition plan for you whereby now most of personal training did not provide but you can ask them for advice. e) The personal trainer also will help you to design the proper workout routine for you if you have specific medical concern( heart disease, spinal injuries, previously broken bone, back problems) Beside we are provided a good personal training, we are also provide good facilities and reasonable price to make sure our customer satisfy and then help customer to lose weight in a healthy way, for medical reasons.

Promotion strategy

Promotional strategy is the function of informing, persuading, and influencing a consumer decision. Promotional strategy objectives vary among organizations. Some use promotion to expand their markets, others to hold their current positions, still others to present a corporate viewpoint on a public issue. Promotional strategies can also be used to reach selected markets. Most sources identify the specific promotional objectives or goals of providing information, differentiating the product, increasing sales, stabilizing sales, and accentuating the product's value. Deciding on a marketing communications strategy is one of the primary roles of the marketing manager and this process involves some key decisions about who that the customer is, how to contact the consumer them, and what the message should be. Our company was the first venture in Parit Raja area. There will be less people known about our fitness center. So, our company was going to select advertisement technique to promote our fitness center to inform about the new service. Advertising is the promotion of a company's products and services carried out primarily to drive up sales of the products and services. It is also done to build a brand identity and communicate changes in old products or introduce new product or services to the customers. We going to advertise our company are through Facebook and newspaper. Our company preferred newspaper advertisement because of impact and effectiveness. Newspaper advertising has proven its effectiveness over time. Readers look for and forward to ads in newspapers, whereas they often resent advertising in other media. Newspaper ads have the ability to communicate lengthy, complex or detailed information and descriptions. Newspaper advertising is more trusted than many other forms of advertising. Apart from that, newspaper advertisement is flexibility and timeliness. Newspapers offer enormous flexibility in content, design, placement and frequency. Plus, newspapers are a rapid response medium. Its can refine our message or change our whole campaign in just two days. Short lead times make it possible to change our messages quickly to respond to real-world events and opportunities.

61

Next, newspaper is reach. Newspapers offer the broadest reach of any mass medium. An average issue of a daily or Sunday newspaper reaches more adults than an average half-hour of primetime television. Research indicates anywhere from half to three-quarters of all direct mail goes straight to the trash, unopened and unread. But newspaper ads and circulars are sought out by consumers. Meanwhile, Facebook is one of the most popular websites on the Internet. With approximately 250 million unique visitors each month, Facebook is the 2nd-most visited website on the Internet (behind Google). All those eyeballs mean plenty of exposure for our ads. Facebook allows advertisers to target a specific group of people based on age, personal interests and more. Facebook can even comb through user profiles to place our ads only on pages that mention a specific keyword. We can increase customer loyalty through a Facebook fan page. Countless businesses have created Facebook fan pages that users can join. These pages allow our business to interact directly with your customers so that we can build loyalty and brand image. Facebook also offer special promotions through Facebook fan page. The fan page can also be used as a platform to promote new products or services. Updates on new product launches keep our customers more informed and up-to-date on what products or services we offer. Advertising on Facebook can be inexpensive. It allowed us to reach many users. Facebook also able to reach smart-phone users. Facebook is accessed via smart phones worldwide every single day. This fact means advertisers not only have the ability to reach computer and laptop users, but people out in the world as well. Actually our promotional activities not required large amount because we just spent money in newspaper advertisement and Stremyx bill. We estimate the budget was around RM200 per month. Because it was required fewer budgets, we think it was affordable because our company is the new company. However, we ask for help from business support such as marketing assistance. Agencies like FAMA and MITI help us to advertise our service locally and internationally. Monitoring promotional activities involves gathering important information so we can distinguish between effective and ineffective promotion, spend our money more effectively, and tailor the right promotional campaigns in the future.

62

There are several ways to monitoring the effectiveness of our promotional activities. Firstly , client journal. The client journal is a book in which we record the flow of clients into business. Generally the journal includes information about the date and time they visited or called, what they enquired about, what items they purchased, if at all, how much they spent, and a description if possible of their gender, estimated age and any other information can gather. Update the book every time you receive a new enquiry. Within a few weeks we'll have a clear picture of average daily enquiries, the percentage of those that become sales and a profile of typical client. After a promotion we can observe how the journal changes. The following questions will help you assess the success of your campaign by what percentage did enquiries increase? Have the average daily purchases changed? Did you mainly attract high or low spenders? What products were people mainly enquiring about? Did the percentage of attention from a certain age, gender or location increase? Did the percentage of enquiries being converted into sales improve? The key benefit of the client journal is that it provides important information that can help better understand clients beyond what sales data alone can reveal. Next, return on investment. An important aspect of monitoring promotion lies in ensuring it delivers value for money. This is most commonly judged by determining break-even point (BEP). The BEP is the number of additional sales a promotion has to produce in order to meet its cost. Say we decide to place an in a magazine at a cost of RM300 per month. To break even, we would have to experience a corresponding increase in profit from sales of RM300 per month. The sales data should be able to show clearly if this is happening or not. Good promotions will obviously far surpass the BEP, and may even return many times the initial cost. The ratio of increased profit from sales to promotional cost is one way we can compare different promotions. Break-even point technique wisely pays attention to the cost as well as to the benefit of a promotional campaign.

63

Place

The most distribution channel that can be adopted is manufacturer storage with direct shipping. Which is this distributor sipped the product directly from manufacturer to the end customer, bypassing the retailer. It also called as drop shipping. The retailer carries no inventory. For the information flows from the customer, via the retailer, to the manufacturer, and the product shipped directly from manager to the customers. So we as the retailer we give all the information that we get from the manufacturer to the customer. So, in order to maintain good customer relation we approach them with give them satisfaction through our creativity on handling them. When the customers are satisfied with our services, they will return again and seeking more services from us. This is one of the methods that we use to attract the customer to come more and more. In the same time, those who already the services will proceed to tell the others can become new customer lead builders, represent ongoing revenue as renewals, and even provide testimonials to name just a few of the marketing activities. In other word we retain the existing customers and then use them to help you get new one through referrals. Another approach is using the campaign which have specific theme to attract customer like offering them the existing incentives sure to increase the customer relation while also attracting new referrals. The kind of the successful incentive activities includes promotion giveaways that have real value to the customers and developing a gifting program. In addition, we offer them with the variety of incentives for providing new referrals who become new members. Personal trainer will be provided if there any customer request. In order to maintain good customer relations our fitness center use extensive promotion as one of the way to market our product. It is open to all level of society. At the same time we explain to them about our fitness center and healthy lifestyle. Give confidence to the customer which in terms of our services is the best so that they will think that they are spending money in the right place. We assure potential customer with promise in the way of equipment, hours of services and qualified staff will make their experiences at the health club motivating and inspirational. The best way to market fitness services is by using the people who are already know to achieve the fitness goals.

10.0 CONCLUSION
Through the plan that we have outlined we feel confident that although a very intricate and complex process to start and run such a company, we can accomplish such an ambitious endeavor. We have analyzed the market, covered expenses, visualized a goal, and planned accordingly. Our company would be a good fitness center in Parit Raja and fulfill the satisfaction of the people. To be realistic, we cannot guarantee a success, but as the proverb goes, A hero is one who knows how to hang on one minute longer and this is the entrepreneurial spirit that we will carry throughout the life of our fitness center.
