3.0 Services
ABCTSI provides a general Taxi and Airport transportation solution for the GTA. ABCTSI can
provide airport travel on short notice if cars are available, but they generally work with a
reservation system. A customer would call up in advance and provide ABCTSI with flight
information. ABCTSI would schedule the pick up time and then call and send an email to confirm
the pickup. For pick up at the airport, ABCTSI would meet the customer outside of baggage claim
after the customer has picked up their luggage and would drive them home.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary

ABCTSI will be focusing on families as well as business travelers. Both groups will likely
demand our services. The families will utilize our service because it is convenient and less
expensive than if they drove themselves and paid for long-term parking of their car. Business
travelers will use our service because it offers a limousine-like service (other than the fact
that ABCTSI does not use limousines) where the traveler has a ride waiting for them when their
planes comes in, but the service is less expensive than normal limousine services. Since the service
is fairly comparable to a louisine service, companies will encourage their workers to
utilize ABCTSI as a cost saving measure, particularly in this economic downturn.

4.1 Market Segmentation

Our customers can be divided into two groups: families/individuals on pleasure trips, and
business travelers.

Page 5

ABC TAXI SERVICE INC.

The first group is taking a trip for pleasure and will either be an individual or a family. Their choices
are to either drive and park in long term parking, take a taxi, or use a limousine service. This
group does not typically mind paying a bit more for a solution that takes care of their
transportation to and from the airport. Since they are are on vacation, they appreciate having a
service that gets them to the airport in a seamless way so they do not have to worry about
anything. All they have to do is make the reservation and show up at the arranged pickup point.
The second group is the business traveler. In the past a company would typically hire a limousine
service to pick up their worker. The company would always pay for the service. With ABCTSI as
an alternative, there is a transportation service that functions like a limousine (you can
preschedule pickup dates and be taken directly home or to the airport) but without the overly
fancy car and the associated high price. As companies are always looking at ways to cut
costs, ABCTSI offers a very reasonable solution in terms of comfort and cost. The business traveler
will not notice anything different with ABCTSI versus a limo service other than the vehicle they
are traveling won't be a limo, but will still be a sufficiently large and comfortable car.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

ABCTSI will be targeting these two groups because they consistently travel, and ABCTSI solution
makes traveling easy for them. While a slow economy has some effect on travel. In general
north Americans tend to travel more each year, this trend beginning in the early 1980s. These
Page 6

ABC TAXI SERVICE INC.

groups are particularly attractive to ABCTSI because they will always need to get to the airport and
they are willing to pay a bit extra for the luxury of having someone take them there instead of
being required to get themselves there. Please note, however, ABCTSI is only slightly more
expensive for trips under four days; over four days it is more cost effective to use ABCTSI.
Compared to driving a personal vehicle and paying for long-term parking.
In regard to the business customers, it is generally accepted practice for the company to provide
the transportation for their employees. For trips over four days, there is no question that ABCTSI is
more cost effective. Under four days ABCTSI service is slightly more expensive than driving oneself
and parking, however, companies are more than willing to pay a bit extra as their employee is
giving up a decent amount of their free time to go on the trip for work and the business recognizes
and appreciates this. Of course for the companies already willing to pay limousine prices, ABCTSI
will appear as a way of reducing travel costs with no appreciable loss in service quality.

4.3 Competition and Buying Patterns

Currently in Toronto there are several competing Taxi and airport transportation systems:
1.

2.

3.

4.

Public transportation: TTC provides rapid transit service to the airport. While this is an
inexpensive alternative there are several disadvantages. The service does not run all
hours of the night.
Taxi service: Taxis do provide service to and from the airport, however, travelers cannot
book the trip in advance, forcing them to call right before they want to travel. The level of
service is inconsistent from taxi service to taxi service as well as from occasion to
occasion. Taxis can also be quite expensive if city dwellers are going out to the suburbs.
Airport parking: Airport parking can be cost effective if it is for fewer than four days.
Driving oneself has the advantage of not having to deal with anyone else, the flip side to
this however is they must do everything for themselves. Lastly, there is always the risk of
damage to their car when it is parked and all airport parking facilities have drivers sign a
waiver absolving the lot from responsibility if anything happens to the car.
Shuttle service: This option packs a few different people into a van and takes them to
the airport. This is a less expensive option, however, it takes longer to make the
commute due to the other customers that are traveling Additionally, travelers lose out on
the personalized service relative to ABCTSI or a limousine service.

The buying patterns of these services vary based on the length of the trip, who is paying for it, and
if it is a last minute or planned in advance trip. The longer the trip, the more economical a
transportation option is relative to airport parking. A large percentage of business travelers use
an upscale airport transportation solution like ABCTSI or a limousine service for their employees.
People who are just scraping by to go on vacation are likely to choose the least costly option,
public transportation. Lastly, if the trip is planned at the last minute, taxi service might be the
only option however, ABCTSI will offer last minute rides if cars are available.

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

ABCTSI's marketing/sales strategy will be two pronged, one to address each of our two segmented
targeted groups:
1.

Families/individuals: In addition to some advertising, we will be working with

associations such as CAA and other community groups to try to build up a network of
users.ABCTSI believes that working with these groups will provide us with steady flow of
Page 7

ABC TAXI SERVICE INC.

2.

customers. Additionally, since a lot of these groups have close knit among member referrals
will be quite powerful when they are coming from a member who already has established
a trust bond with other organizational members.
Business travelers: ABCTSI will be contacting the travel department of many of the
different companies in Toronto that have a lot of employees traveling and informing them
about our service and offering them an introductory discount. This will be an important
segment to win over as companies routinely have employees traveling throughout the year.
Businesses are also valuable because once the initial contact is made, the relationship can
be turned into a steady stream of business.

5.1 Sales Strategy

As stated earlier, we will be going after both families/individuals as well as business
travelers. ABCTSI will have a different strategy for each group. For the individuals, ABCTSI will use
contacts through membership associations and clubs to build customers. Customers that are a part
of an association tend to put more trust in a service provider when the service provider is
aligned with the association. ABCTSI will offer a discount for the association members to try to
build up a following. Our selling spiel will be total convenience at a cost that is competitive with
the price that they currently pay when they leave their car in the parking lot. Offering the ability to
schedule in advance pick up from home and then pick up from airport should be a big selling
point. People like convenience, and people are willing to pay for conveniences. One phone call to
arrange all of your transport needs to the airport is quite a convenience.
Our strategy of wooing the business travelers will be a campaign to introduce ABCTSI to the
different travel departments of the larger companies in the area. The initial contact will be a
letter/brochure describing our services along with a pricing guide. ABCTSI will then follow that up
with a phone call to try to receive a commitment from the company. By including the pricing
information within the brochure, ABCTSI believes that this will catch the eyes of the companies'
travel departments as they are acutely aware of the costs that they are paying now and ABCTSI
believes that they can convert the lead into a customer by offering essentially the same service
of a limo company at a reduced rate.

5.1.1 Sales Forecast

The first month will be spent setting up the business. It is unlikely that everything will be ready
to go so that we could begin to take fares. By month two the business office will be in order,
brochures will have been sent out and ABCTSI will have been working with associations to create
visibility for the company. ABCTSI will have two drivers and will be paying a base monthly wage on
the assumption that ABCTSI wants to have the drivers ready when fares come up but there is not
likely to be enough fares to support the wages of the two drivers.

5.2 Competitive Edge

ABCTSI competitive advantage will be based on an incentive system that rewards the drivers/
members economically when they achieve good service, develop repeat customers and act in a
team fashion instead of competing against other company drivers. This incentive system will
reward drivers when:
1.
2.
3.
4.

The company receives positive feedback about the driver (a feedback system will be set
up).
The customer is turned into a repeat customer.
The driver develops new customers.
The driver acts in manners that are team based instead of for individual gain.

Through this complicated but purposeful system, ABCTSI is incentivizing behavior that they believe
will help the company succeed, while not rewarding behavior that is destructive to the company.

5.3 Milestones
ABCTSI will have several milestones to aim for:
1.

2.
3.

Business plan completion. This will be done as a road map for the organization. While we do
not need a business plan to raise capital, it will be an indispensable tool for the ongoing
performance and improvement of the company.
