23.1. MoveIT

23.1.1. Value Proposition

23.1.1.1. Because there is easy entry into the moving industry and high threat of rivalry and substitution, our value proposition is to attract customers through differentiation. THis can be achieved by creating a more personalized customer experience. For example, since we want to target new immigrants, we could potentially provide multiple language services to our customers to build that communication connection between customers and the company.

23.1.1.1.1. Info needed: to fulfill our value proposition, we need to understand what our customers re looking for in a moving company. For example, what was missing from their previous experiences with moving companies? We need to recognize and address customer needs and behaviours.

23.1.2. Revenue Model

23.1.2.1. Our firm's method of generating profits is based on the sales revenue model - deriving revenue by selling our service to customers.

As well, we are targeting students and immigrants.

23.1.2.1.1. Info needed: to be successful in generating profits, our company needs to be able to gauge customer demand at specific times throughout the year. For example, useful information would be the average inflow and outflow of students and immigrants for each month of the year. Because our service is partially dependent on seasonal trends, we would also need to know in which months the peak season occurs and when the off-season occurs.

24. Group 110

24.1. MoveIt is a start-up moving firm that specializes in providing third-party movers’ logistics for moving personal properties. Currently, MoveIt is situated in Vancouver, BC, where its main objective is to provide its target market - new immigrants and students – a worry free and easy as possible premium moving experience within the shortest duration. To fulfill our value proposition of a personable moving experience, MoveIt would require detailed information about the values of their target market. Because Vancouver is a diverse city, filled with many immigrants and students, it would be beneficial for the company to know high demand periods and locations, organizations that it’s clients are afflicted with (universities, airlines, etc), and the resources they require (storage, fleets, shipping). Additionally, the company can make itself more accessible to immigrants by making payment transaction easier because they may not have a locally issued credit card.

24.1.1. Also, it is imperative to be cognizant of our competitor's pricing. This will allow us to price competitively. We have a sales revenue model, and therefore it's important to obtain a competitive advantage if at all possible through our pricing.

25.1.3.2.1. This will also help with educating patients of different demographics with their health issues and what measures they can take to ensure good health

25.1.3.3. This can be done by a survey to be completed by the patient before a more thorough body checkup by hospital staff

25.1.4. Create database of patients: find past information of customers (visit date, diagnosed medical problems, total visits, heritability of diseases in family gene...etc)

25.1.4.1. Appointments for annual/bi-annual body checkups could be initiated from collected data by clinic staff instead of the patients coming in only when they have a problem.
