Strengths

Internet Cafe and Business Solutions to find people with a passion for teaching and
sharing their Internet experiences. Our staff is both knowledgeable and eager to
please.
•State-of-the art equipment. Part of the Meetpoint Internet Cafe and Business
Solutions experience includes access to state-of-the-art computer equipment. Our
customers enjoy beautiful flat-screen displays, fast machines, and high-quality printers.
•Up-scale ambiance. When you walk into Meetpoint Internet Cafe and Business
Solutions, you'll feel the technology. High backed mahogany booths with flat-screen
monitors inset into the walls provide a cozy hideaway for meetings and small friendly
gatherings. Large round tables with displays viewable from above provide a forum for
larger gatherings and friendly "how-to" classes on the Internet. Aluminum track lighting
and art from local artists sets the mood. Last, but not least, quality cappuccino
machines and a glass food display case provide enticing refreshments.
•Clear vision of the market need. Meetpoint Internet Cafe and Business Solutions
knows what it takes to build an upscale cyber cafe. We know the customers, we know
the technology, and we know how to build the service that will bring the two together.
Weaknesses
•A dependence on quickly changing technology. Meetpoint
Internet Cafe and Business Solutions is a place for people to
experience the technology of the Internet. The technology that is the
Internet changes rapidly. Product lifecycles are measured in weeks,
not months. Meetpoint Internet Cafe and Business Solutions needs to
keep up with the technology because a lot of the Meetpoint Internet
Cafe and Business Solutions experience is technology.
•Cost factor associated with keeping state-of-the-art
hardware. Keeping up with the technology of the Internet is an
expensive undertaking. Meetpoint Internet Cafe and Business
Solutions needs to balance technology needs with the other needs of
the business. One aspect of the business can't be sacrificed for the
other.
Opportunities & Threats
•Growing population of daily Internet users. The importance of the
Internet almost equals that of the telephone. As the population of daily
Internet users increases, so will the need for the services Meetpoint Internet
Cafe and Business Solutions offers.
•Social bonds fostered by the new Internet communities. The Internet
is bringing people from across the world together unlike any other
communication medium. Meetpoint Internet Cafe and Business Solutions will
capitalize on this social trend by providing a place for smaller and local
Internet communities to meet in person. Meetpoint Internet Cafe and
Business Solutions will grow some of these communities on its own by
establishing chat areas and community programs. These programs will be
designed to build customer loyalty.
Threats
•Emerging local competitors. Currently, Meetpoint Internet Cafe and
Business Solutions is enjoying a first-mover advantage in the local cyber-cafe
market. However, additional competitors are on the horizon, and we need to
be prepared for their entry into the market. Many of our programs will be
designed to build customer loyalty, and it is our hope that our quality service
and up-scale ambiance won't be easily duplicated.
