The Magnolia Inn is a beautiful facility that sits atop a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in scenic Half Moon Bay California. Seven rooms are individually decorated and each have their own antique theme. We offer a full bed-and-breakfast Inn, with a complimentary breakfast served every morning to all our guests. Magnolia’s goal market strategy is to become a destination of choice among professional couples in San Francisco Bay who are looking for a place where they can recharge and relax. We will also promote to newly married couples looking for that special getaway. It will be important for us to be visible to those potential guests who are traveling on Highway 101 through Half Moon Bay.
Magnolia will be displaying an attractive sign to inform potential customers and passers-by about our existence. We will use the Yellow Pages in the Bay area to market our Inn, as well as a Web page on the Internet which will focus on the features the Inn has to offer. Each room will have its own unique decor. The Inn’s exterior will show the stunning gardens and views overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Attractions within 30 miles of the Inn will be displayed with information about our shuttle service, room rates and directions. The Magnolia is positive that the Inn will quickly build a following that will enable us to meet our full capacity within the next 12 months. The Inn desires steady growth with an average capacity of over 90% for Year 1, and profits increasing at a rate that is 10%.
