 * 2) N.L. Construction Corp
 * 3) P(330) 453-0060 F(330) 453-0061

__The Market and Competition__  1. There are both animal shelters and pet stores but they generally do not combine and have them together. In addition, animal shelters who accept all animals are rarely ever no-kill shelters because they simply cannot afford to pay for animals with a lot of health concerns. Likewise, no-kill shelters do not accept all animals for the same reason.

Phase 4: How i will generate money for my company is to hold fundraisers and ask for donations from people. My overall product would be to have a cure for cancer, and my service would be to help people who have cancer. Some of the products i will make are: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Some of the services that i will do are: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I’m going to be using Caripolti Contractors (724-557-8634) they will be making my buildings around the country. Other than them all of my other workers will be volunteer workers except for the managers. I have chose these people because it is a family business on my moms side and i know they will do a great job! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> As far as i know about competition there aren’t many companies helping specifically Leukemia. There are ,however, many companies raising money to look for a cure to cancer in general. I don’t think of them as competition because i think the more companies there are then the more money that gets fundraised towards a good cause. However, almost all of the Leukemia foundations are worldwide which means they are very big and known around the world, which makes my goal even larger.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Bracelets (like livestrong bracelets) that say Mia for Leukemia on them

 * 13) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There are other companies that do similar things to what Action for Animals will do, but they are very localized. Instead of only helping a small area, we are targeting the entire country. The national companies offer different services than us, so we’re unique to the national market.
 * 14) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A few national companies, such as the Animal Rescue Site, sells products to raise money.
 * 15) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Other companies donate food, but they don’t expand shelters or try to introduce laws to stop euthanasia.

 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Suppliers and subcontractors names and contact information - My suppliers for the kids only gym will be Under Armour and Diamondback.

 * 2) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I have selected these people, because I believe they are trustworthy and are successful partners in business.
 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There are similar enterprises to Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities. There is the NFL’s “Play 60”. Although this is a little different than mine because it only encourages exercising 60 minutes a day, mine encourages healthy eating and exercising. However, there are no services like our kids only gym.
 * 2) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There are a lot of organizations that try to prevent childhood obesity, but no organization opens up a kids only gym, makes healthier lunches, or makes healthier fast food places.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">1. The Three R’s project will make money that may be pumped back into the project by having fundraisers and charging people for starting recycling programs/hosting speaking events. We’ll have fundraising days that not only provide people with information/entertainment, but also help us make money. We can have booths that inform people and sell eco-friendly products. We can also charge admission price to generate more money. Another method of making money is by charging cities to start or help out their recycling programs or host speaking events. We can charge money to begin/help recycling programs in cities and have admission fee for all speaking events (these events are about recycling).

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">a.The Three R’s Project is a project that has many functions. We start recycling programs in cities. Many major cities do not have recycling programs, and if they did, the world would be a better place. So, we ask cities if they would like to start recycling programs. We will help them through the process. Sometimes, cities come to us, and we’re happy to help. Other cities may have recycling programs that aren’t successful, so we come in and help their programs.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">b. Some product/services we provide include

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">- Start Recycling programs

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We will start recycling programs all across the US (and hopefully the world!). This not only helps the earth but generates income. We charge cities a fee for starting/helping their recycling program. We start out with a pilot program. If it is successful, then we will launch the full program.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">-Speaking events

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We will host speaking events across the US (and hopefully the world!). This not only informs the people but helps to generate income. We charge a fee for admission and we host a 2 hour event that includes speaking and refreshments.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">-Sell eco-friendly products

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">We sell things like recycling bins, CFL light bulbs, etc. at our fundraising events, speaking events, community awareness days, etc. This not only helps the earth but generates income. If people buy these things, they help the earth and help us make money.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">c.Customers can purchase these products by contacting us or coming to one of our speaking events, awareness days or fundraising events.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">d. Suppliers/sub contractors- I would need people to construct the booth for community awareness days, suppliers for the things needed to start recycling programs, suppliers to provide recycling bins, CLF bulbs, etc.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">i. Conrad’s Construction <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__www.conradsconstruction.com__] __conrad@conradsconstruction.com__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> 466-237-2745 (this company provides construction services all across the US)

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">ii. I chose these people because they provide me with the needed materials to help other people.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">a. The Market

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">i. I do not believe that there are any other industries/businesses that do what the Three R’s Project does. The industry of recycling is not that big, but it is powerful. We in this industry are dedicated to help the earth.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">ii. I did not find anything on the overview of the recycling market.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">iii. I know that the recycling industry is mainly about recycling thing and preserving the earth. It is also about telling people the benefits of recycling and telling them why they need to recycle.

 * 1) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;">Conservation Centers: People can come to my conservation centers to see endangered species of the area and learn about biodiversity, why it’s important, why it’s in crisis, and how they can help. Admissions are donations.
 * 2) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;">Charity Hike: People pledge an amount of money for every mile they walk. Along the way there will be a scavenger hunt. If someone finds all of the species that I list, then they win a prize.
 * 3) <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;">Charity Bowling: People pledge an amount of money for every pin they knock down. The person who knocks down the most pins wins a prize.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;">Another business like mine is the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature). We both protect natural habitats and inform people around the world about biodiversity and why it’s significant. However, the IUCN has more locations around the globe, more member organizations, more workers, and more influence. Our 2 organizations are similar, except the IUCN is bigger. I think I should become a member organization of the IUCN, because we have the same social objective, and we would have an easier time achieving it by working together, rather than trying to outshine each other.

I will also accept donations. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> a. Blue Oceans will be getting income from selling products like bracelets with our name and logo. Even though my service will be cleaning up the oceans, I will still need to sell products to help start off my business. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">b My products and services

When they purchase these products the profits will go to cleaning up the ocean and our organization.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: initial; vertical-align: baseline;">I will need to hire leaders and a money manager. The rest of the people will be volunteers. Some won’t even work for me. They will be normal people or schools that will help clean up the beaches. I will need to hire businesses to supply me with supplies like food for rehabilitating animals, supplies to clean up oil, and suppliers to supply me with t-shirts and bracelets.

Another organization that is doing this is Clean Ocean Action. They provide a service that is similar to mine.

 * My products will be fruit baskets and T-shirts. The fruit baskets will come in a purple container with the Obesity ERA symbol on it to show that you support them. This container can be used for other things as well since it comes with a lid. You can do anything you want with it as the use of a container. The T-shirts will come personalized. They will be dark purple since that is the Obesity ERA’s color. They will also have their symbol on it to show your support. The personalization part is where you put you first name on it to again show that you support them. **


 * ** Fruit baskets **
 * ** Personalized T-Shirts **


 * My customers will purchase these items by going to my website (TheobestysocietyERA.com) and click on products. It will give a link to the products websites and where they will be coming from. **


 * The fruit baskets will be coming from Edible Arrangements. We will have volunteers from my organization each day or week whichever they choose to be going to get the fruit baskets and delivering them personally to you. We will be getting 25% of all purchases from the fruit baskets because we want to reduce 25% of obesity and Edible Arrangements have agreed with that as well. The location will be at all the Edible Arrangement stores and counting. I chose Edible Arrangements because my family has gotten fruit baskets from there in the past and they have been wonderful. The fruit was delicious! **


 * The T-Shirts will be coming from Custom Ink. It will be the same like the fruit baskets with people volunteering and delivering them personally to you. Again 25% of each person will be going to the Obesity Society ERAI don’t think they have any stores just online so the volunteers will be picking them up at the warehouse and then delivering them to you. I chose Custom Ink because I feel that they are a very reliable safe place that you can get the T-Shirts. They also have other products like sweatshirts and bags which can be personalized from us to, but out major is the T-Shirts. **


 * The Market and Competition **


 * Fruit baskets and T-Shirts are very popular throughout the world. Churches sell fruit baskets as fundraisers to raise money for the church. Schools like Franklin Regional Band are selling fruit baskets to raise money for them as well. Personalized T-Shirt companies are also popularas well. A lot of organization choose to sell T-Shirts and other products. When I was choosing a company for my T-Shirts I had a lot websites to choose from and made a hard decision on which one would be the best for my organization. There are commercial businesses offering the same products, but I feel that mine is the best to choose from because in the end some of your money is helping the world, where as in other companies its not it is just helping that business. **
