A business plan which in its inception and looking for corporate investor


Over all concept and business summary
we have launched notebook "website"  with name of our website , as we do not have enough fund to advertise our website , this gives us two model pitched in one format.
1. Advertisement on notebook , a new concept which will target youth as youth use notebooks to write and it has better visibility than any magazines.
2. website , although its in primary phase and only 15% have been complete as of yet , we want to make a system through which pre-schools, schools , coaching centres , Parents , teachers & studnets can come on one platform which may be free of cost for all of them and a student can have access to notes and education related information in his panel where as parent will have check on performance of student through feedback from his/her coaching teachers or school teachers or college teachers and may be online practice papers which he/she will attempt as part of his/her daily learning. 
Business model & discription
Notebook will advertise for website and also bring revenue by giving advertisement space to other youth targetting brands , we have sales of about 50,000/month notebooks in NCR region primarily New delhi & Noida
Website will generate revenue from advertisement or sales of product shown on website , as it will be free for schools , colleges , coaching centres , teachers ,Parents ,Students & recruiters.In simple words it will be Linkedin of education. As of now every educational institute is buying LMS and other Parent teacher communication system but we will keep it free for all which will bring huge traffic on its own.
Market Opportunity & Analysis
Notebook advertising has huge opportunity on its own , although acceptance of this new methodology by market will take some time but we have been getting response from institutes like that of Manav rachna University , Amity University and few more. Notebook advertisement  has advantage over other form of advertisement due to high self life and better visibility. If we talk about educational advertising its of Rs 1.5 billion in Indian market and its 15% of total advertisement market , if we just talk about advertisement in print media.(according to FICCIKPMG 2011 report) , NCR has every day consumption of 3,00,000 notebooks which has advertisemnet space worth 12million/day (according to our current rate chart)
if we talk about website opportunities ,its huge India has population of 400 million who go every day for education, internet penetration is not very deep in India but due to huge population and every day changing modules of exams , students and thus online education is future.
Competitive overview
Being in online and offline market we, have competetive advantage over our both sorts of rivals. Although apart from few big players like ITC , BUILT , Navneet & Neelkamal. Notebook has much of local players but as we will have competitive advantage with revenue from advertisements, we can garner more and more space out of it , moreover our website will get visibility by being in hands of youth in form of notebook and it will increase there habit of using website . Moreover there is no such online educational informer or users space which has presence offline as well thus our website will have added advantage and as we are planning to keep it free for all educational institutes , once its ready to use then usage will be high in comparison to any future competition.
Although few educational brands have already entered into space but they have limitation in terms of reach as they have reached till their own studnets only but due to website Notebooks we have reached to many

Product & business Execution
Website paper Notebooks are available in NCR market and students are using it , we are getting advertisement as well (we have only 6 accounts as of now). we calculate conversion rate of advertisement according to direct traffic which gets generated on our website. As far as our website is concerned , we have completed directory part of website and slowly we are filling information about different educational institutes , in the mean time recruiters section & Test fuction is getting ready and it will be attached , on an average we have about 200 unique visitors every day. Once recruiters & online test section will be ready , we will have focus on LMS & communication module. We are in talk with differnt educational bodies like Samalkha group , Manav Rachna , MITRC and many more who are willing to use our system once its ready to use.
In Notebook sales , we are in market since past 5 months and we are growing at rate of about 30% evbery month , we have retail shop space of about 300 shops in Delhi & Noida , although as we are not manufacturer of Notebook so we are having little problem. we are mainly dependent on advertisement revenue.
Key concept of both segment which we have targeted , online & offline Profit model lies with product sales and advertisement. For our website , we donot have any advertiser as of yet but as soon as we will feel that we are generating enough leadfs to sell , we will put our product in market for advertisement sales on to it.
Although in our presentation we are talking only about Notebook advertisement as , website is not full functional and not ready for space selling as of now.
