Competitor analysis:
Market forecast:
The doughnuts market is estimated to grow at a CAGR
of 2.65% between 2022 and 2027. The size of the
market is forecast to increase by USD 3,212.84 million.
The growth of the market depends on several factors,
including the growing number of stores and retail
outlets, increased snacking and indulgence
consumption, and the rising prominence of in-store
bakeries in supermarkets. The growing number of
stores and retail outlets is notably driving the market
growth, although factors such as fluctuating prices of
raw materials may impede the market growth. Our
researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base
year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine
their marketing strategies to gain a competitive
advantage.
Market share:
The growing number of stores and retail outlets is
notably driving the doughnut market growth. The
culture of socializing at cafes has become popular
among urban youth. The increased influx of people to
urban areas and a substantially large white-collared
demographic segment have necessitated an increase in
the number of food service outlets. Varied tastes and
preferences for different types of food and beverages,
such as fresh baked goods and hot beverages, have
further led to the emergence of doughnut shops,
coffee shops, and quick-service restaurants (QSRs). The
growing popularity of malls and shopping centers has
also encouraged many new players to invest
substantially in the distribution of doughnuts through
these centers.
Market position:
In a world where consumer preferences are constantly
evolving, the Donut industry has emerged as a
booming sector, captivating taste buds and attracting a
diverse customer base. To enter this highly competitive
market, Sweet delight Donut must establish a strong
marketing position to differentiate itself from existing
players and appeal to the target audience. This
business plan delves into the key strategies and
elements required to create an effective marketing
position for a new Donut business.
Marketing strategy:
Here’s an example of a marketing strategy for a donut
business:
1. Define your target audience: Our donut business,
“Delicious Delights,” primarily targets local
residents, families, and young professionals in the
downtown area.
2. Branding and Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Our brand focuses on handcrafted, gourmet
donuts made with organic ingredients and unique
flavor combinations. Our USP is offering a rotating
menu of seasonal flavors, ensuring that customers
always have something new and exciting to try.
Product description:
Berry Spears
Filled with whipped cream cheese, this was
topped with strawberry jam sauce and white
chocolate flakes. But with the color of the said sauce,
at the start I thought it was orange sauce; nevertheless,
this was rich and yummy!
Blue Berrymore
The only difference from the Berry Spears
flavor was that this had blueberry jam
sauce. I loved biting on to this baby!
Candy Cane
If you want your dose of white chocolate,
this donut is dipped in it and then sprinkled
with crushed toasted almonds as well as
strawberry jam sauce.
Cheese Cakelicious
Think of it like a cookies-and-cream
cheesecake as it filled with whipped cream
cheese and topped with cookie crumbs. (The
donut is also dipped in white chocolate).
Choconutzy
Peanut-buttery ganache filling, dipped in milk
chocolate, and drizzled with dark chocolate. I’m
not a fan of anything in peanut butter but this
still tasted great!
Don Mochino
Made up of dark Belgium chocolate glaze and
mocha cream filling. Though this is different
from Coco Loco, I can’t help but feel that they’re the
same since the glaze and filling were light to the taste.

Sales Procedure
Marketing Plan:
Product
Sweet delight Donuts focused only on selling donuts of
many varieties and its signature double brewed coffee.
With time, they diversified their product portfolio in
their marketing mix and started selling other baked
confectionaries like, bagels, cookies, muffins etc. Out of
the total sales only 8-9% of the sales revenue comes
from Donuts. 64-65% comes from drinks and the rest
comes from sale of other baked food items. Some of
the al time favorites of customers of Dunkin Donuts
are, egg and cheese, hash browns, maple sugar bacon
sandwich. The drinks served at Sweet Delight Donuts
include coffee, tea, iced tea, hot chocolate, coffee with
cream, latte, fruit juices etc. They have more than 1000
food on their menu now. The healthy food menu is a
hit among customers.
Place
Sweet Delight Donut have successfully established
themselves more than 40 countries. Shops are set up in
important places with high footfall to attract young
urban crowd. Its market expansion has happened in
Asian countries like India and China. Freshly produced
eatables are sent to food chains directly within 24
hours
Price
Sweet Delight Donuts products are moderately priced
and kept close to competition, as the company wants
to make things affordable and attract more crowd.
Sweet Delight Donuts is targeting the urban crowd of
age 35 years and below. The pricing strategy in the
marketing mix of the brand is also dependent on the
country in which they are present. Global pricing is
used by Sweet delight Donut to ensure high quality
product offerings at affordable prices to customers.
Promotion
The promotional and advertising strategy in the Sweet
Delight Donuts marketing strategy is as follows: Sweet Delight
Donut Donuts promotes its brand by using a brightly colored
coffee cup logo. It makes the brand memorable and leaves a
good impression in the minds of the people. Print media,
online ads in websites, television ads are used to promote the
brand. Long gone are the times when Sweet Delight Donuts
were all about donuts. Today it has locked its horns with
coffee brands like Starbucks, Barista etc. Now it has to stay
relevant among calorie conscious, healthy yet tasty food
seeking consumers. Its new tagline ‘Sweet Delight. Coffee and
more’ was seen in a few storefronts of Pasadena, Calif. This
trend was also seen in Dunkin shops in Delhi. People from
India are not into the donut eating culture yet. The company
wants to shed its Donut heavy image and be a coffee
products leader. Catchy tagline like ‘Dunkin. Coffee and more’,
‘America runs on Dunkin’, ‘you ‘kin do it’, ‘get your mojo back’
have played well for the company in promoting the brand.
The biggest way Sweet Delight Donuts stays relevant in any
new market even after 67 years of operating in various
countries, is by localizing the brand and making it suit the
local market. Loyalty programs like, DD perks program,
discount coupons, buy one get one free” promotions.
People
Sweet Delight Donut knows the importance of serving
its customers. Hence the company has a lot of focus on
its people i.e. its customers as well as staff. The staff at
the outlets are very well trained and are well equipped
to serve to the customer needs. The company gives its
employees intense training so that they are well verse
in ensuring a great customer experience, which is a
must for a service brand.
Packaging
As you can see, the original packaging is much different
than what’s used today. Much darker and more
powerful, the colours represent the richness of their
doughnuts, creating packaging that really complements
its delicious contents. The packaging also prominently
features a doughy character, sweet delight, who
humanizes the brand and gives it a friendly personality.
While their logo certainly adds a bit of complexity, the
simple packaging that Sweet Delight is known for today
was firmly established in its earliest versions. It played
a significant role in their early expansion, establishing
them as a business that delivers exactly what the
working man needs in the morning
Positioning
To communicate its commitment to being available to
customers 24/7, the brand is positioning itself as a
neighborhood shop which is “Always Open, Always
Good.” In addition to an updated logo, which features a
soft font and airy graphics to convey the warm and
inviting nature of the brand, Sweet deligh website and
other digital marketing channels showcase vibrant
product displays and enticing imagery.
By anchoring the brand in its rightful position as a
premium online bakery, we are speaking to our
customers in a new way, immersing them in the entire
experience and inviting them to come into our shop to
discover the incredible array of delicious desserts,
savory side dishes, and sweet treats perfect for
breakfast, brunch, and beyond,” says Mark Madriñan,
Chief Marketing Officer, Jheril Velasco. “The brand’s
legacy as a provider of extraordinary baked goods has
earned it a loyal following and, with this updated
positioning, we are excited to introduce all that Sweet
Delight Donut has to offer to a whole new generation
of shoppers.”
Financial Plan:
Overview
We have prepared a 5-year financial plan in APPENDIX
8. The financial plan integrates our operating, human
resource and marketing plan in generating our
projected balance sheet, income statement and cash
flows. We have also prepared an investment analysis
that looks at
the expected returns and operating ratios that are
relevant in this investment. The financial plan has been
organized below:
Appendix#
8.1 Statement of Financial position
8.2 Statement of income and loss
8.3 Clash flow Statement
8.5 Investment Analysis
Accounts Receivable
All amounts are paid and collected in cash at the time
of purchase. Therefore, no balance in accounts
receivable is anticipated
Inventory
All suppliers are delivered fresh on a daily basis. There
are a few non-perishable items (nutmeg, and cinnamon
powder) that will remain in storage, however, it is not
anticipated that a material amount of inventory will be
on hand at the end of each period.
Non-Current Assets
Non-current assets have been summarized in the
capital budget discussion in the operating section of
the report. All of the items have been brought on at the
purchase amount, and are being amortized by applying
the appropriate CCA rate for the related asset class.
Note that CCA will be used to determine the
amortization of these assets in order to simplify the
process from an administrative perspective.
Accounts Payable
As mentioned we are in the process of negotiating
payment terms and prices with our suppliers. It is
Expected that there will be small payables balance on
the books related to items received during the
Last month of the fiscal year (December) that has not
been paid for due to the 30-day payment term. The
total accounts payable amount represented also
includes amounts payable for the December Utilities.
Note that there is no amount accrued for payroll, as
amounts are paid bi-weekly. We are assuming that
employees would have received their pay up to the last
day of the fiscal year and any amounts not captures are
immaterial for the purposes of our projection.
