We do not want anyone to be the Queen of hearts (evil and mean) we only want Alice's (Manners), Mad Hatters (kind) and white rabbits (loyal)

Our employees can be recognized by there work uniforms, the uniforms are characters from Alice in Wonderland! Go ahead and take a picture with them!
Location Why is it important for businesses to choose the right location? Because if you have a store in somewhere isolated not many people will come to the store, where if you start off somewhere popular you will gain interest. And plenty of people will come to your store.
Where will your business be located? Why?
My location will be in the city, or the outskirts of the city. I have decided this because lots of people will come and lots will hear about it.
A logo is the name of the store in a special font that brings attention to their store. The logo represents your business, it is a visual image of your business.
Provide a mock-up of the advertising campaign you will use to address your target market. Include a written analysis of your advertisement demonstrating how it would appeal to your market.
This would appeal to people because they will see this poster and it will interest them, no one sells natural rainbow flowers. People will want them in their house to brighten up the house. Also they can tell from this ad that Alice in Wonderland is the theme and who doesn't love Alice and Wonderland's crazy unique world! To the right is one of our beautiful advertising posters!
Target Market What is a meant by the term target market? Target Market means who are you targeting with your product!
Why is identifying the appropriate target market important to businesses? Because flowers would probably not be the best thing for an 8 year old boy. People aim there target audience at the age and gender they believe would buy there product, e.g generally woman would buy flowers.
Who is your target market? My target market would be girls from the ages of 8 - senior, or boyfriends and partners. All girls love flowers. Even some boys.
Why have you chosen this particular target market? Because every girl loves flowers in there house because they brighten up life and your house and will always bring a smile tot your face.
Products and Service... Define goods and services. Goods means the items they sell. Services mean the utilities used and things that they do for the community.
Explain how goods and services differ from one another. Goods are items that you are selling, where services are jobs that contribute to the shop.
What goods/services does you business provide? We sell flowers for weddings, general and personal use. We deliver them as well.
What is a sole trader? What is a partnership? A sole trader is meaning you are the only owner, so self-employed. A partnership is When two people co-own a company/business together.
What type of business will your business be? e.g sole trader/partnership. Provide a description of this type of business and indicate why you have chosen this form of ownership. Partnership, because it's easier to start a business with other person because you can join together and put more money in.
