7. Marketing
Research and Analysis
Target Customer
In general, Enreach main customers will be the tourists of Makassar, people
who are looking for vacation due to its location near Trans Studio area and
Losari Beach. However, since the number of hotels in Makassar is still
relatively medium-low, Enreach also aim the business travelers, who are
usually travelling to the Makassar only for short period.
Age
Basically, the target market will involve various group of age, since it aims
more to the people who are travelling for holiday, especially family.
Nevertheless, Enreach also intended to grab business travelers, hence can
be said that Enreach target people around 21+.
Gender
Both Male and Female will be Enreach target gender
Location
General target location for Enreach customer will be both International and
National Citizens. However, Enreach will more concern on National
residents who are coming out from Makassar due to Indonesia itself is on
developing phase.
8. Income Level
Enreach is a 4-star hotel, which means the price is relatively high. In
addition, Enreach Hotel is designed for people who are ready to spend their
money to get away for a period time. Therefore, Enreach target customer
income level should be laid on Middle High Income Level customer.
Occupation
Occupation will be varied since Enreach is aiming people who are looking
for vacation, not only for businessman even tough one of the target
customer is business traveler.
Education Level
This factor will not be the basis for segmenting the customer profile.
General
Normally, the group of Enreach customers can be broadly divided into two
groups:
- Tourist: Trans Studio, which is one of the main tourism objects in
Makassar, is located near the Enreach. Trans Studio can be one of
Enreach tools to attract the customers. Visitors may come for many
different reasons other than business. These visitors can be couples,
families, or individuals.
- Business Travelers:Since the number of Business Hotels in
Makassar is not high, Enreach also aims the visitors who are coming
to Makassar with business needs. The location of Enreach, which is
located on a well-known area in Makassar, will becomeone of the
best choice for business people
9. SWOT

the Enreach Hotel and the opportunities and threats facing Enreach Hotel in
Makassar tourism.

Threats
Possible new competitors in the area

The area does not have a certain uniqueness
11. Market Size
Based on Badan Pusat Statistik Indonesia, growth of tourism in Indonesia
has been increased around 8.5% from February (702.666) until March
(765.607) 2014. While according to m.bisnis.com, number of tourism to
Makassar itself has been growing around 18% (1.864 people) on September
2013 compared to a month before. These numbers will be Enreach target
market size. Enreach does not want to aim local citizens due to excessively
infrequent local citizens that prefer to stay on hotels inside their hometown,
except for business purpose.
Additionally, Persatuan Hotel dan Restaurant Indonesia (PHRI) said that
holiday period for students did not bring significant impact to number of
Makassar visitors. Furthermore, it only gives around 2 – 3 % to the total
number of tourists. Besides that, the total of Makassar Hotels’ customers
grows significantly (around 60-65%) on post-holiday (June-July). On that
time, most Hotels are occupied for occasional purposes such as, meetings,
seminars, conferences, incentives, and exhibitions).
In conclusion, it is estimated around 1.800 individual with booking rate
80% of total room number will become Enreach target market for each
month.
12. Competitor
According to the booking.com, recently there are around 82 hotels in
Makassar. However, Enreach only counts Colonial Hotel as the direct
competitor regarding the location. This hotel is a 3 stars hotel, which is
located on Metro Tanjung Bunga, same street as Enreach. It has 5 type of
room with the total number of 57 rooms. Have several facilities such as,
non-smoking / smoking room, safety box, air conditioner, 32” LCD TV,
mineral water, bathroom amenities, 16 local & International channel. The
rate range around Rp.500.000,00 – Rp. 1.200.000,00 /night. It also has
restaurant, laundry, and ironing service. Colonial is 5 minute drive to Trans
Studio and 35 minute drive to Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport.
In term of competing with Colonial, Enreach has advantages regardless
Colonial marketing segmentation. Enreach has various type of rates,
depends on the room type and season. The lowest one is Rp. 575.000,00 /
night (Standard Single / low season) and the highest one is Rp.
3.700.000,00 / night. This price is very affordable think that Enreach is 4
stars hotel. Almost all Colonial facilities also owned by Enreach with
another additional amenities such as, high speed internet service all over
building, 15 conferences room with additional 1 ballroom, 24 hour
medical service, swimming pool, fitness centre, bilyard, tennis table,
Garden, also free shuttle service to the trans studio, and free pick-up and
drop-offto Airport.
However, indirect competitors will come from other well-known hotels in
Makassar regardless its location.
13. Market Strategy
As a new Hotel in Makassar, there will be difficult time to gain the customer
at the first time, so for the first few years Enreach Hotel will need to be
aggressively attracting new guests. Guests then will be asked for surveys and
feedback with a purpose to improve Enreach system and quality of services.
On the first opening, Enreach will give 50% - 65% discount rate on the first 6
months to attract customer awareness. Feedback and critics are also crucial
as Enreach will use them to improve our services and facilities.
However, the product and services line offers the following additional
advantages to attract customers:
For Families:
For families, Enreach offer a huge playground in the garden and
accommodation suited for children and babies. Also we have a free shuttle
to Trans Studio.

the airport.
Popular tourist destination
Besides business travelers as our main target, tourist who loves water sports
activity would be Enreach target because Makassar is well known for its
beach especially Losari Beach. Located near Trans Studio Resort would
also attract customers to stay at our hotel.

by giving out green light and red light if the spaceis already taken.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance by Enreach Hotel is done to prevent the unwanted
cost that may occur if the system and management in this hotel fails to
operate when needed. The maintenance itself divided according to several
parts. Maintenance for repairing the wear out condition of equipment as
well as scheduling for immediate replacement if needed, maintenance for
the software used in the hotel system such as the booking system and the
hotel website, maintenance for the personnel to provide the best strategy of

Gardening
Regular watering needed to obtain the maximum beauty of the
garden. The watering itself is scheduled once a day in the morning to keep
the freshness of the garden. For the garden walking path, Enreach Hotel
will use house rubble. The reason Enreach Hotel uses house rubble is to
minimize our cost and in the other hand, house rubble will give a natural
look to the walk path of the garden because the texture of the rubble
compliments the natural look of the garden itself. Other option, Enreach
Hotel will use dimension stone. Dimension stone is not as cheap as the
housing rubble but it will give more natural look for the walk path. Both
stone selections have advantage in common it is the stone is not slippery
when the walk path is wet with rain.

32. Critical Risk
Similar to other business, the hospitality industry is not accident free. In
fact, hospitality industry is more prone to accidents and hazards than any
other sectors. Here in Enreach Hotel, we take our pre-cautions to the very
limit. It is in our priority to maintain safety for our customers and our
employees. Enreach strive to main the standards that the HACCP
maintains.
However, accidents can happen even with us taking precautions to the
extreme. This section will explain the emergency step that Enreach will
take if any form of accident should ever happen in the hotel.
Fire
Whenever fire alarms rang or fire sprinkler turn on, if it’s happen only in
one room, we will immediately check on the room and make sure
everything okay. And if big fire appears, all the employees that have been
trained for this will help our customer to the evacuation place. Emergency
lights will appear and guide the customer to exit way. All the employees are
responsible to notify the manager before taking action and orders to first
investigate a fire alarm before calling the fire department or notifying
guests. Enreach have to make sure first because premature notification of
guests due to false or nuisance alarms always concerns hotel management
because they don'twant to inconvenience guests.
33. Earthquake
If the hotel is dealing with earthquake, Enreach hotel will firstly make sure
of the earthquake scale, whether it’s just small scale of earthquake or a big
scale of earthquake that can lead to danger. If it is just a small earthquake,
we would make an announcement that everything is under control and
going fine, several employees are assigned in each story to make sure all
guest feeling safe. And if it is a big scale of earthquake, Enreach will make
a direct announcement and turn on the emergency light to the emergency
exit and straight to the evacuation area. All the employees are assigned to
help each customer before they taken care of their own.
Tsunami
If there’s a tsunami alert, announcement are directly come out informing all
the guests to come out immediately at that time, and guide them to
evacuation place, when the guest gather, we guide them to safe location
that above 100m of sea level. The guest safety is our number one priority.
Employee accident
To run the business, we need workers to operate the hotel. However,
workers may make mistakes and lead to hurt themselves. For example,
food poisoning, if left unrefrigerated, or if meat or poultry is undercooked,
hotel restaurant food can poison the customer. Besides that unsanitary
kitchen conditions, employees with unclean hands, and improperly
sterilized utensils can all transfer bacteria to guests. And also burns can
occur when hotels set hot water thermostats too high. Showerheads can
flow scalding water on an unsuspecting guest's skin, resulting in first, and
34. sometimes second-degree burns. Irons with faulty gauges or switches that
fail to shut down properly can easily burn a guest's hands or workers who
work in the laundry part, resulting in scarring. Similar to fire disaster, the
solution is to give all employee insurance. Therefore, whenever bad
accident happens, the medical cost will be covered by insurance.
Furthermore, we have to make clear standard operation to minimize this
accident happening, such as giving new workers training first before they
operate the hotel.
Loss of key employee
Not all employees can be given certain task, especially task that needs extra
trust and responsibility, such as managerial position. Key employees are the
employees that have important tasks and influence to the company. Even
though company has given high salary and best facilities, key employees
can leave for other reason. To assign somebody new to this position is not
that easy and this vacancy may hamper daily operation.
Solution for this problem is to make resign policy that employee that want
to resign must inform company. By doing so, it gives time for company to
seek replacement. While looking for the vacancy, company can assign
employee who usually works with the leaving key employee as the
substitute or even get that position.
35. Production cannot meet customers’ demand
Hotels have many decisions that need be careful to decide it such as
capacity decision, quality decision and the others. In capacity decision,
there are long term and short term decisions. In short term situations, hotels
must make sure that they have enough employees to register arriving guests,
to clean hotel rooms, and to provide food and beverages to customers.
These decisions must be made carefully to avoid excessive labor costs from
having too many employees for the number of customers being served. The
other is quality decision. The decision relating to quality is not “how much”
quality to have. If asked whether they support high quality in their
organization, virtually all managers will respond enthusiastically that they
fully support high quality! Rather, the quality of services is determined by
numerous decisions throughout the organization that have both long-term
and short-term consequences for the organization’s quality performance.
For example, while all managers may say they support quality, how many
will support the capital expenditure to purchase new equipment that can
meet tighter tolerance requirements more consistently? The outcome of
these decisions will most certainly affect an organization’s ability to
produce outstanding quality in products and services. Quality improvement
efforts require a great deal of analysis and teamwork, as well as a
determined effort to make quality a top priority in the organization.
Improving quality requires everyone to adopt a “continuous improvement”
philosophy, where everyone approaches their work with the view that there
are always opportunities to improve on the organization’s key performance
measures. Continuous improvement efforts are complex, multidimensional,
and require partnerships among workers, management, suppliers, and
customers.
36. Booking is lower than expected
Booking lower than expected is classic problem for all startup hotels. Even
though we have prepared our business plan well, in reality we do not know
how the markets response to our brand new hotel. In our business plan, we
set the booking rate to 80% of total rooms but it may less than that. Thus, it
will affect hotel’s profit lead to the delay of our business plan schedule.
Therefore, in case of lower booking rates, the emergency measure that we
should take firstly is to aggressively attract consumer first by giving
discounts rates and promotions. The idea here is to gain more customers so
that we are able to spread our name by using the word-of-mouth media. A
slight loss may happen during this period, but the potential increase in the

37. Harvest Strategy
Liquidity event
In the beginning, hotel’s capital is divided into 2, 60% for the original
owners of Enreach Enterprise LLC, and 40% for the hotel’s sponsors. Each
owner has around 10% company’s share. For 2 years, capital cannot be
disbursed and all the profit will become hotel’s modal. After 2 years,
whenever an owner want to cash their shares and out of this business,
liquidity event will happen in which the remaining owner has to cover the
share that had by the leaved owner or look up for substitutes to cover it.
After the first 2 years, profit will be distributed to all shareholders and the
distributed profits will be discussed depends on hotel’s condition at that
time. Whenever all of owners want to leave the business, sale of business
happens and the sale will be distributed according to owned shares.

the best quality material and controlling the quality and our hotel. If more
capital is needed, company will open to public.
