Executive Summary
The night club business is a growing segment. The expected growth rates show a positive
dynamic between 40% to 50% for the next few years depending on the demand of new young
customers. The competition in this sector is strong but new services will support the success of
the company.

The Silent Noise is a new nightclub that will focus on improving the nightlife of vasco and
surrounding areas it. The goal of this start-up is the operation of a night club that develops new
innovative services and products for its customers. The club will be located close to the Bogmalo
beach which will also attract foreign tourists from the Bogmalo Beach Resort. The area already
has three bar and restaurant that have been thriving for the past 10 years. Each establishment has
long lines waiting for entry each weekend. The 5,000 square foot night club will be located close
to the road which is often flooded with people coming to the beach. This will have an indoor as
well as outdoor dance floor.

Business Opportunity

The night club industry currently shows a strong growth marked by higher demand and also
growing costs. The choice of food and beverages as well as the architecture and additional
services can be one strategy in this development.

The operation of a night club that offers a range of classical beverages and a selection of food is
the core of this start-up. A strong focus of this business will be placed on the development and
marketing of interesting events. The range of beverages and products is selected to provide solid
growth potential. One central goal of the proposed business strategy is the development of its
own corporate identity. Such identity will create customer loyalty and help gain a competitive
advantage. Therefore it is planned that additional to the selection of new and interesting services
a company design is developed.

Mission

It's not the lights; it's not the liquor; and it's not the sound. It's the people!
And it’s the FUN! Successful nightclubs are based on an accurate understanding of the
core customers. The mission of the Silent Noise is to create a nightclub environment that satisfies
the changing tastes and expectations of our core customers; i.e. college-age women. If the
women come, the men will follow. In order to achieve this goal, we must constantly improve our

beverages such as soft drinks, juices and bottled water. A "casual" food menu consisting mostly
of appetizers and snacks ranging in cost from Rs 300 to Rs 500 will also be available. The initial
hours of operation will be 6:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M., four nights a week. The establishment will
also attract guests and visitors from outside the area as well.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Marketing Plan

Effective marketing together with consistent promotion are the keys to success. The company
focuses on a comprehensive web marketing and classical marketing strategy designed to attract
new customers, convert leads into sales, and maximize the revenue.
 • In the start-up phase it is a central task of the marketing concept to establish name
recognition and its own trade mark.
• Later on the strategy will primarily be targeted to gain new customers and create
customer loyalty of repeat customers selection of regularevents that increase the number
of customers and the sales volume. Events that show a high demand are:
○ sports events
○ dancing events
○ music events
○ fun and games
All events will be provided by external companies. This allows the company to reduce risk.
Events will take place each week depending on the demand and the interest of the customers.

➢ Online marketing: There is a broad range of online marketing opportunities. Successful

online marketing depends largely on the ability to identify marketing services that
provide the best opportunity to reach customers in a cost effective manner. Search engine
marketing and banner marketing are the most widely used method of attracting visitors to
a website.

➢ Print advertising: Printed advertisements in local magazines is regarded as very

beneficial in the start-up phase to attract a large group of potential customers and draw
attention to the range of articles offered.

➢ Sales promotion: Sales promotion strategies have temporary effects only. Sales
promotion will be used for a limited time to increase the number of customers. The
strategy will include special offers with opening discounts. This strategy is expected to
continue for 3-4 months.

➢ Direct marketing: The Company uses direct marketing campaigns with e-mail and
mailing lists as well as newsletters. This strategy will be used to increase the revenue per
customer. Since spreading costs of such mailings are very low this marketing element
provides a useful and efficient tool.

Competitive Edge
There are three elements to The Silent Noise’s competitive edge.
The first is the location which is a beach which has a resort and bar & restaurants around it. The
area around The Silent Noise is already a regular place for socialize in the evening.
The second is the Silent Noise concept which is hardly followed by the other clubs.
The third is our focus on attracting our core customer in every aspect of our planning. The Silent
Noise will have the following to attract and retain our core customers:
• A larger ladies room area. Beyond its traditional uses, it's also a place of social gathering
and conversation. As a result, we will add additional square footage to this part of the venue
including a couch, TV, music, and plenty of social space.
• Floor design. No doubt, females are more observant of design, and the impression it
conveys, than males are. Therefore, careful consideration will be put into everything from
colors, to fabrics, and materials.

• Music. This is a critical one. We will hire DJs who have the best satisfaction rate with the
female clientele.

Start-up Summary
The Silent Noise has three owners, Chester Fernandes, Bharath R, and Joshua Xavier who will
each invest Rs. 70 lakhs.
