The sale of the advertisement services represents a profitable business opportunity. The daily demand is high and increases during times of the year such as holidays and festivities. It is one of the businesses that benefit from the 4 seasons. Accordingly, along with job exchange services the company will be offering advertisement services to generate revenue.

Price

The pricing strategy is another important variable to position the business in the highly competitive market. Through our website, we will be offering competitive pricing strategy for our customers. Though the company is offering its services to all small business across the state and United States but based on the market research and competitor’s profile, the company management has intended to set the lowest possible transaction fee to get a maximum market share. In accordance with the need of the customer, the management has developed some competitive market prices against the services the company is offering. These prices are market competitive. We ensure delivery of quality services to our clients, and we have set the price according to the market rate after analyzing the cost and budget.

Moreover, we will discuss our marketing process on a monthly basis after receiving the response from the target market, because effective marketing is all about knowing yourself and setting standards.

We strive to be consistent across all platforms, communicating our brand in a clear, strong voice.

Along with that, the web presence will help to enhance the communication between the customer and the company. Based on the location requirements, we have selected a location where we can arrange sufficient resources to support our operations.

Program Environment Analysis

Industry analysis

The most affected by unemployment in Mexico are young people. Official figures show that the majority of those who do not find work are people between 14 and 29 years of age. Despite the problem, the country does not have effective public policies to incorporate young people into the formal work environment. Specialists explain that the Mexican state socially and economically wastes a quarter of its population. In Mexico, a tenth of young people does not have a job. The problem is more serious when one in four people in the country is young, and one-third of the economically active population (PEA, calculated at 47 million 131 thousand 536 individuals) is also young.

Source: https://tradingeconomics.com/mexico/labor-force-participation-rate

And it is that of the more than 112 million Mexicans, 30 million are young. Of these, at least 1 million 512 thousand do not find employment. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), during the economic crisis of 2009, young people were the most affected by unemployment. The National Occupation and Employment Survey (ENOE) shows that in Mexico more than half of the currently unemployed are between 14 and 29 years of age and that this problem is most present in the age group of 20 at 24 years old

Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/263702/unemployment-rate-in-mexico/

With this, the demographic bonus of the country -which occurs when the population of working age is greater than the dependent population and, therefore, increases the productive potential-, instead of being taken advantage of, it is being diluted in phenomena such as the migration of young people, their incorporation into informality or organized crime, or their total unproductively.

Economic: Our Company has an economic review about its services, but there are some revenues which have to be paid as per service there is taxation and charges for the organization annually due to extra use of electricity, gas, and exchanges. Due to our reliable advertising services, we will have a tendency to cooperate with multinational companies too.

Social: Our Company has resolved the social problem to a great extent as are the main goal is to contribute towards the society in terms of employment. Our job exchange program also plays a role for the employers or organization that don’t have enough budget for hiring recruitment agencies. In accordance with social and ethical issues, there are some solutions we are providing to our former students such as cutting-edge matching technology that will transform the recruitment process and connect candidates and employers with each other.
