How to draft an Electronic Shop Business Plan?

The rapid growth of technology has brought about a number of new business opportunities and innovations. A similar trend has been observed in the electronics industry over the past few years. It is no surprise that more and more entrepreneurs are looking for ways to start an electronics business. Having a business plan is necessary before starting a retail electronics business. Consider the following factors when drafting your electronic shop business plan:

UVP

A unique value proposition is created by defining your target customer, analyzing the competition, identifying your unique selling proposition, crafting your value proposition statement, and testing and iterating to meet customers’ needs better. With a unique value proposition, you basically describe the benefits your offer, how you solve your customer’s needs, and what makes you stand out from your competition. Approx 34% of electronic retailers failed because they could not maintain a steady growth in repeat purchases as they did not bother having a UVP for their business.

Financial Budgeting

To avoid overspending or spending in the wrong areas, knowing your numbers is crucial before beginning any business. Hence, Financial planning must be done and available cash flows must be identified. Identifying and forecasting revenues for the coming period, and assigning amounts to spend on a company’s various expenses is also an important part of financial planning. By creating a budget, you help to secure your business’s financial health and act as an early warning system.

Sales & Operations Plan

A sales and operations plan takes the entire organization into account. It consists of six phases: product review, demand review, supply review, finance review, pre-S&OP, and executive review. This way, you can assess the company’s condition from various perspectives and formulate a solution to many issues within the company. Generally, Sales & Operations Plan needs to be aligned with budgeting or vice-versa.

Quality Assurance:

In order to ensure the best possible quality product, a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) must be developed. In the electronic business world, this is the most ignored area. Make sure your budget, as well as operation plan, are audited on time in order to ensure compliance and a rapid return on investment.
