4.0 Market Analysis Summary
Iqhulu Financial Managers will be marketing their services to two different groups of
people, those in need of investing advice and services, and those that are in need of
income and wealth generation . These two groups will be targeted through
networking activities and public seminars. Iqhulu's competitive advantage of
thoroughness of services offered as well as in-depth research will turn prospective
clients into long-term customers.
Iqhulu Financial Managers has chosen these two groups because they both have
money to invest and most need assistance in determining how to invest or how to
structure their estate.
These groups will be targeted through two methods. The first is old fashioned
networking. Mr kombo made a lot of different contacts in his pursuit for his degree.
In addition to networking his contacts from school, Mr kombo will also network
using his social contacts.
The financial management is a populated space, just like real estate. Thise are
literally hundreds of financial managers serving the Shinyanga area. The secret is
specializing (concentrating on a specific area in the market, helping you to be
differentiated from all the othis service providers) and networking (building your
business through personal/professional contacts).
Page
Although the financial market is pretty full, thise is room for new providers that
specialize and offer unsurpassed customer attention.
4.3.1 Competition
Since investors are more often than not based on networking or who the person
knows. This is because the industry of financial planning is so populated it is quite
hard to make a decision for choosing a service provider. Since many/most people
after a certain age have at least visited a financial planner it is not difficult to get a
referral for a planner.
Mr kombo's strategy for reaching his two target segments will be based on seminars
and networking. The seminars are open to the public and have a small, subsidized
entry fee. They are meant to cover the basics of financial and . Typically the
seminars will start to get these people asking questions about their personal finances
and hopefully come back to Mr kombo for more help.
Mr kombo will also be doing networking to find customers. His networking will be
primarily based on contacts that he made while at instituteof accountancy Arusha.

5.2 Marketing Strategy
This approach takes a lot of time up front for Mr kombo, but the customers will recognize
this effort and choose Iqhulu Financial Managers as their service provider.
By earning $25 every day for 51 days we will be able to cover cost and start to generate
profits, in 102 days we’ll be able to generate 100%profits and it will be shared 40% to
mr kombo and 60% to the investor.
