M'*ET ESE'C#
1rom mar#et research, it is clear that there is consi!erable potential for Cyber Cafs in smaller
communities li#e ontrose "here local con!itions !o not encourage the online e%perience.
2esearch in!icates that smaller communities are better target mar#ets because many of these
communities are built aroun! a public 'unction li#e a to"n s9uare or public gathering center.
4n a "i!er scale, analysis sho"s that there "ill be t"o #in!s of reality in the future. +n !aily
life, people "ill still ha$e an urge to meet face/to/face in a pri$ate or social setting. 7uman
beings ha$e, after all, a social instinct, a nee! to meet other people. Because of this, people in
smaller communities "ill continue to gra$itate to"ar! public spheres, such as cafes, to"n
s9uares, arca!es an! !o"nto"n nightspots.
+n a!!ition to the reality "e e%perience on a !aily basis, the entire "orl! community is being
!ra"n into a virtual reality, "here it "ill be possible to meet people from all parts of the "orl!
through computers an! $irtual en$ironments li#e chat rooms an! +nstant essages. This "ill

lea! to online conferences an! $irtual meetings that can be as re"ar!ing an! en'oyable as
being in the same room.
Because the +nternet is the ne" me!ium for this $irtual reality, technology in!ustries ha$e
e%perience! tremen!ous gro"th in the "orl! economy. +n fact, the +nternet is not 'ust a
ne" in!ustryE it is a "hole ne" "ay of !oing almost e$erything.
+n its fourth 9uarter results &merica 4nline, +nc. announce! a <.6K se9uential gro"th in
its subscribers, bringing the "orl!"i!e total to ?2.< million subscribers. &4, has 2.<
million international subscribers !emonstrating the international appeal of the +nternet. +n
a!!ition to this, &4, reports that its a$erage !aily use per member "as 44.2 minutes
!uring the last 9uarter. +n a BJ/!ay month, this translates into the a$erage user being
online a total of ?,B26 minutes or 22.? hours a monthN This is an impressi$e amount of
time being spent online an! in!icates a para!igm shift in ho" people spen! their "or#
an! free time. The +nternet has become a part of our li$ing routines, "hat "e !o on a
regular basis. Got only is there a tremen!ous amount of fun to be ha!, ne" things to
learn an! e%perience, but the +nternet has meant a cultural shift. People e$ery"here are
tal#ing about it, at parties an! social gatherings, an! they tal# about being happier an!
enriche! by their ne" $irtual e%periences.
&nother interesting point unco$ere! in our research is that global merchan!ising
re$enues ha$e continue! to !ecline in retail sales. +n fact, Bear -tearns -ecurities $ie"e!
this !e$elopment as positi$e in a recent research report. +n effect, because more lo"
margin sales are mo$ing to the +nternet, it allo"s retail operations to concentrate on
higher margin a!$ertising an! remo$es the ris#s associate! "ith transporting an!
carrying high $olumes of in$entory.
+n!ee!, the +nternet is capable of generating sales gro"th at a faster rate than any other
in!ustry. &!!itionally, the o$erhea! an! infrastructure re9uire! to operate an +nternet
business is $ery lo" "hen compare! to other Obric# P mortarO companies. This means
higher profit margins. The +nternet is truly a "orl!"i!e phenomenon an! those "ho
ha$e limite! access to it are an%ious to get in$ol$e!. People can become acclimate! to
the +nternet at the Caf, become fre9uent $isitors an! e$entually buy their o"n computer
from the proprietors of the Caf.
The +nternet is still in its beginning stage an! "ill continue to !e$elop at a phenomenal
rate. +nteracti$ity "ill increase an! the e%perience "ill continue to be enriching to all age
groups. +nstea! of mo$ing bet"een "or#place, shops an! chil!/care, many people "ill
stay at home "ith their chil!ren an! use the +nternet for "or# an! shoppingQor they "ill
bring the "hole family to the +nternet Caf for an en'oyable e$ening. 3ither "ay, they
"ill fin! ne" "ays to pay their bills, sen! fille!/out forms to public authorities, chec#
insurance policy terms, tra!e stoc#s an! loo# through mail or!er catalogues on the
+nternet before purchase.
1rom the beginning, Cyber Cafs ha$e reali(e! the same gro"th potential as is foun! in
the +nternet in!ustry as a "hole an! there is e$ery reason to belie$e that this "ill
,
continue. )hen you consi!er the a!!e! benefits of community an! social surroun!ings
foun! in a caf, not to mention a goo! cup of coffee, "e foresee significant gro"th far
into the future.
Competitive Environment
The combination of coffee pro!ucts, foo! pro!ucts, computer pro!ucts, computer ser$ices,
community option an! training "ill gi$e the Cyber Caf a competiti$e e!ge. Because many
local resi!ents "oul! li#e to ha$e access to this in one buil!ing or area that is near other
ontrose attractions. There is presently no attraction that pro$i!es these benefits locally.
Cyber Caf maintains the follo"ing a!$antages o$er e%isting entertainment competition>
/ 4ngoing technical support to our clients
/ 3%tensi$e #no"le!ge of computers an! net"or#s
/ -uperior customer ser$ice
/ -peciali(e! training programs
/ +nformati$e an! fun )eb access
/ Competiti$e rates
To un!erstan! this fully, "e must un!erstan! that the basic goal of the Cyber Caf "ill be to
offer all of the fun an! e%citement that is offere! by the competitionE in fact to enhance an!
enrich the benefits of our competition. Cyber Caf "ill compete "ith the other local
attractions in ontrose in the follo"ing "ays> o$ie goers can en'oy their mo$ies more by
going to mo$ie stu!io "eb sites, listening to soun! trac#s an! au!io files, e$en "atching
mo$ies on a computer "ith a .0. !ri$e. Gightclub goers can meet the same frien!s they
meet in a nightclub but "ith a cup of coffee instea! of a !rin#. Ioung people "ho fre9uent
arca!es can en'oy computer games at the Cyber Caf in a more "holesome an! e!ucational
en$ironment. 2estaurant goers can en'oy an e%cellent, less e%pensi$e meal an! the +nternet at
the same time an! a less formal social en$ironment.
ong!Term "pport#nities
Cyber Caf management "ill be constantly loo#ing for opportunities to impro$e the Caf
e%perience by offering a!!itional ser$ices that can be effecti$ely integrate! into the Caf*s
offerings.

S&ort!term promotional goals

business. 7o"e$er, "e belie$e that a centrally locate! site "ith traffic lanes to an! from our
competing ontrose attractions "ill affor! an opportunity to benefit from location. )or! of
