Competitive Analysis
Jazz’n’Roses will compete in the industry of arts, recreation and entertainment. The direct competitors of the business will be Lviv art-centers and galleries. Indirectly, Jazz’n’Roses will also compete with bars and restaurants with live music that offer creative activities and host art events. These are the businesses that provide similar services but position themselves differently and therefore have different audience. The galleries that set up the expositions in a conservative manner - even though they are exhibiting modern art - generally attract older segment of the market. One of the galleries-competitors “Zelena Kanapa” targets particularly artists and experts interested in buying artworks. It is designed for the people who come for art specifically and value it for its own sake, so they don’t need additional entertainment. By contrast, another competitor, “Museum of Ideas” practices more innovative approach to set up of expositions and has authentic atmosphere. It doesn’t only display the artworks but places them into the well organized and original space which also has artistic value. “Museum of Ideas”, however, has little presence in the media and doesn’t offer interactive events - which cuts off a significant part of younger audience. The restaurants and bars-competitors, including “Libraria”, target customer segment that is broader because it is not limited to people interested in art. It also doesn’t depend much on the music preferences of visitors – they come to “Libraria” as to a bar and music is important but it is not crucial for them what kind of music is played there.

What is the proposed pricing strategy for the venue?
The business intends to use a "value-added" pricing strategy, where the integration of multiple experiences justifies the costs, while initially employing market-penetration pricing to build a customer base.

The choice is based on the benefits of simplicity, flexibility, and scalability, allowing for lower taxes and easier compliance requirements for a small business operating in the Ukrainian context.
What are the identified risks regarding the bar service?
Because of legal constraints on alcohol sales, the venue will outsource the bar services to a contractor, which presents the risk of losing operational control over that essential component of the evening experience.
