"Why Do So Many Ice Cream Shops Fail
While Others Prosper?"
(Their Secrets To Success Are Finally Revealed!)
1:38 p.m. Thursday
From: Jason Lexell, Founder of IceCreamProfits.com
Dear Ice Cream Entrepreneur,
Are you're thinking about opening your own ice cream shop? Maybe you already have one and want to drive profits even higher. You may already know about the industry and just how profitable and rewarding it is.
What other business practically guarantees satisfied customers every time? What other business caters to men, women and children or people from all demographics and all walks of life? Let's face it, everyone loves ice cream.
Whether you aspire to grow as profitable and well-recognized as Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream or simply want to make a comfortable, six-figure income in your home town, the key to success is a carefully planned, well executed business plan.
However, I understand that the mere term 'business plan' causes panic for most entrepreneurs. Let me fill you in on four business plan writing secrets:
1.) You don't need an MBA.
2.) You won't have to spend countless, grueling hours at your computer.
3.) You don't even have to know what's in a business plan.
4.) You also won't have to pay a consultant $150 an hour to write a custom business plan.
Yes, new businesses can be expensive, but let me tell you the secret that successful ice cream shop entrepreneurs all know: with proper planning an ice cream shop can be affordable and relatively easy to operate.
"I Can Help You Plan for Your
Ice Cream Shop's Success ..."
I've heard it all
As the founder and editor of Ice Cream Profits, entrepreneurs just like you write in with questions about the ice cream business. Of the hundreds of questions I get every month, about 80 percent involve effective business plan development or business start-up.
I also get the success stories - the letters and e-mails from professionals who've built a profitable and established ice cream business. They offer tips and advice, telling me what worked for them.
So I have a unique vantage point - and a wealth of secret, insider information about the business that others don't. I know what it takes to make it!
Regardless of what anyone says, starting your own business has its risks. But, what I've learned is that a good business plan helps you tackle challenges before they set you back.
"Why Do I Need a Business Plan
for My Ice Cream Shop?"
Having a solid plan with realistic estimates is critical. You need a business plan that is tailored to your unique business. Generic plans simply don't work, and consultants can be way too expensive.
A professional business plan is like a road map to success, showing you:
How to market your business with the least possible investment
How to beat the competition head-on
What your risks are and how to minimize the risk
How much revenue you can expect in the first year, the second year, and so on
How you can set your shop apart from the others - and double your income!
The minimal requirements you need to get into the lucrative ice cream business
Plus so much more!
Let me show you how to get a personalized business plan tailored specifically to your ice cream shop that will help you earn the highest profits attainable!
But first, let's review the facts.
This is Serious Stuff...

FACT: Statistics show that a well-written business plan can dramatically increase your chance of success.

About The Ice Cream Business Plan 2007...
"We are Opening Our First
Ice Cream Shop in 3 or 4 Months!"
When a decision is made to take such a leap as opening your own business, guidance and structure from those that have the knowledge base is invaluable. There is no reason to re-create a format for an overall plan that is already created.
We are very close to finalizing our plan and opening our store with the next 3-4 months. Thank You!

"This plan is a Breath of Fresh Air ..."
"As a seasoned business writer I've worked with many companies to develop their business plans into viable documents that lead to startup capital or new investors.
I often see many common mistakes such as overdone length and hasty financials that are sure to prevent a plan from succeeding. However, this plan is a breath of fresh air because it is well written, professionally cited, and easy to understand.
The plan's author has done his or her homework in the form of market research, industry analysis, and refined financial planning. I would recommend this business plan to anyone interested in opening an ice cream shop."

A Professional Business Plan in a Fraction of
the Time at a Fraction of the Cost!
When you actually sit down to write an ice cream shop business plan, you can feel overwhelmed. Where do you start? What do you say? With so many sections and critical information expected, it's hard to know.
Generic plans just don't work for this business, and consultants charge up to $150 an hour to write, research and craft your customized business plan.
But, now, you can create a professional business plan specifically geared toward the ice cream industry in a fraction of the time it would take if you were writing it from scratch!
Just customize to fit your shop's details and your business plan is done. It is, by far, the easiest way to write a business plan!
Writing a Business Plan Has Never Been Easier ...

Just input your ice cream shop's details in the easy-to-follow business plan template and click save. Then open the Microsoft Excel financials document and plug in your shop's projected numbers.
This will help you calculate the break even analysis, opening day balance sheet, three-year profit projection and 12-month profit loss statement. It's so simple!
Once you're satisfied with your business plan, print it out and place everything in a professional binder. Then it's done!
You can use it as a guide for running your ice cream shop. You can also present your polished plan to lenders, partners or investors. They'll think you spent months preparing it.
(Plus, don't forget, it's also your invaluable map charting your path to total business success!)

Read The Top 6 Reasons Why
The Ice Cream Business Plan 2007
Beats The Competition...
Why is this product any different from the others on the market? It's simple. This plan was developed only after every product on the market was purchased, thoroughly reviewed and evaluated by leading business plan and ice cream industry experts.
During this review, our business plan experts identified hundreds of problems in the other so-called solutions on the market. The top six reasons why The Ice Cream Business Plan 2007 beats the competition are listed below.
Reason #1
It's The Only Plan on the Market
that Held Up Under the Scrutiny of
a Professional Review Team
Before we ever made this plan available for sale, we had a third-party review team evaluate it in its entirety.
The review team included:
A well respected banker with 25 years of lending experience.
An ice cream shop veteran with three successful shops and 20 years experience in the ice cream business.
A former vice president of franchise operations for one of the nations largest fast food chains and founder of several successful businesses.
It was only after the third-party review team gave The Ice Cream Business Plan 2007 a unanimous thumbs up, that we felt confident offering it to our valued customers.
Reason #2
It's Written From Scratch
Specifically for the Ice Cream Business
Your plan is professionally researched and created from scratch with all of the necessary details and relevant data bankers and investors require.
True Story: During the research phase, developers identified, on more than one occasion, plans referencing completely different industries.
You'd be amazed by the lack of professionalism we found, many times stating taco or pizza instead of ice cream! This is an automatic lender or investor reject.
And it shows just how generic these business plan templates are, which can't be good for your business.
Reason #3
It's Properly Formatted
the Way Investors,
Partners and Banks Want It
Bankers, partners and investors require business plans within a standard format and length. In addition to overall plan length, section content and length are also critical.
One of the ice cream plans reviewed during research was nearly three times too long! A banker, among the research team, with 25 years experience simply shook his head and laughed saying, "Nobody would ever read that."
But The Ice Cream Business Plan 2007 adheres to best practice business plan writing standards impressing bankers, attracting funds and following a successful guideline millions of business owners use.
Reason #4
We've Cut The Fluff
A business plan should be clear and concise, illustrating your business' feasibility. Any irrelevant information is frowned upon.
Over and over again, our business plan experts found competitor plans with random sections dedicated to other industries.
In fact, one ice cream business plan included a 50-page bar tender's guide. (When was the last time you ordered a cocktail at an ice cream shop?)
It was clear these companies never expected anyone to actually READ the materials provided, since many of the elements included were of no use for the ice cream entrepreneur.
It was also obvious that these companies used inadequate business plan development, which is a cause for immediate rejection.
Reason #5
It's Fully Researched
with Up-to-date Data and Statistics
from Reliable Sources
The Ice Cream Business Plan 2007 was developed and researched using trusted, contemporary resources and market data.
All of the difficult to find industry research is completed for you - with statistics, forecasts and market data saving time, effort and stress.
When you build your ice cream business plan with real research from accurate sources, you're free to focus on all of the other startup tasks at hand.
Reason #6
It's The Only Plan Offering an
Iron Clad, 90-Day Money Back Guarantee
Some might call us crazy for offering a 90-day money back guarantee. But we want to ensure each and every customer is completely satisfied with their purchase.
You won't find this strong of a guarantee elsewhere. Why? Other companies sell worthless plans that might look great on paper, but won't hold water at the bank or actually even help you plan out your business.
If you're not completely satisfied with The Ice Cream Business Plan 2007 for any reason, we'll refund your money - it's that simple.
You have absolutely nothing to lose.

"How Much Does The
Ice Cream Business Plan Cost?"
