Self-DJ® Jukebox
Business Plan
Executive Summary
Product
•
The Self-DJ® Jukebox TransPort Edition is a much more
powerful, and portable digital version of the classic jukebox,
with waterproof touch screen, microphones, speakers, and
starter music. Self-DJ® Jukebox franchisees rent Self-DJ®
Jukeboxes which enable anyone to deliver mobile DJ
performances to 300+ audiences with unmatched simplicity,
transportability, reliability, sound quality, and selection.
Customers
•
The Self-DJ® Jukebox helps customers forget their problems.
Self-DJ® Jukebox franchises take away guesswork; what music to
have, how to manage the technology, and how to generate an
excellent income with several jukebox rentals at once. Self-DJ
franchises succeed because of the excellent income, high
reliability product, superior customer support, low maintenance,
and because Self-DJ® Jukeboxes are so much fun.
Market
•
We will focus initially on party, tent rental, and related service
companies that rent equipment for meetings, receptions,
graduations, fund-raisers, reunions, and other events, within the
$38B rental market. Low product cost, innovative software,
superior support, and a dominant industry presence will deter copy-cats. At $300 per
rental, $3999 franchises will sell easily, and pay for themselves quickly. Exposure from
rentals will drive on-line sales traffic to http://www.Self-DJ.com.
Competition
Our product design benefits from being unique, more
transportable, more reliable, and easier to manufacture, with
more features, at a lower cost. Direct competitors are
IntelliTracks, Chameleon, and TouchTunes. About 250 indirect
competitors rent, or sell, different types of jukeboxes. Self-DJ®
Jukebox is easier to use, and far more durable, with better sound
and more options; karaoke, games, gambling, and remote control.

Competition – Internet Touch Screen Jukeboxes
Internet jukeboxes like the hitbox require a full-time Internet connection and can't be
rented. They are typically marketed by providing free equipment and sharing profits
50/50. One would assume that having access to millions of songs is good. Not so,
according to at least one club owner that removed his Internet jukebox and replaced it
with a CD jukebox.
Don Douglas from Don's Dug-Out in Portland, Oregon had this to say, "With way too
much junk music, and no control of what was played, I actually lost customers. I had
my Internet jukebox removed and replaced with a CD jukebox. The Self-DJ Jukebox
combines the best of both worlds and puts me back in control of the music at my club."

There are number of companies that rent CD and 45-based jukeboxes for $225 to

music, difficult to transport and require ongoing maintenance. They do not have the
capacity to handle large audiences and are not operated outdoors.

Competition - DJ Equipment Rental Companies
Jukebox John rents a 45-style jukebox with 300 songs for $285, or a CD-jukebox with
1300 songs for $265.
As Jukebox John points out, a computer with speakers and amplifier attached doesn't
have the “feel” of a classic jukebox. What he fails to mention is that classic jukeboxes
are bar-room units intended for indoor use and small audiences. Even if they could be
used outdoors, and if they were powerful enough for larger crowds, classic jukeboxes
are designed for small spaces and do not project well in larger venues, producing a
muffled, bass heavy sound with poor definition.
As Jukebox John will soon find out, the Self-DJ Retro, definitely has the jukebox look
and feel, but offers much more, and much less; more capacity, clearer, more powerful
sound, no maintenance, no skipping, and no waiting between tracks.

Corporate Entertainment Online helps justify the market by renting bar-room style
jukeboxes for smaller indoor gatherings. They rent many different entertainment
items across the U.S. but their offerings are limited with respect to jukeboxes. Rentals
from Juke Box Rental are considerably more expensive than the Self-DJ Jukebox.
While a bar-room jukebox can be loud in an enclosed area, it pales in comparison to
the Self-DJ Jukebox, not just in volume level, but also clarity and quality.

Renting a sound system, attaching it to your iPOD or computer, and connecting a
microphone, is an option, if you know how to do it, or enjoy a challenge and have
forgiving party guests. There are many music stores that rent equipment. Of course,
you will need to find your own music, and assembling the right collection, which is
critical for success, takes time and knowledge. While this is one solution, it isn't userfriendly, doesn't save money, and doesn't guarantee a good time for all.

We supply the equipment while you supply your music; But please read below:
1. "They couldn't figure out how to get the DJ system to work."
2. "You couldn't request a song because they didn't have a large enough library of music."
3. "Their cousin Jethro hijacked their elegant wedding and turned it into a hillbilly hoedown!"
4. "Every few minutes someone had to stop what they were doing and fiddle with the IPOD while
guests just stood around waiting for the next thing."
5. "Their IPOD music selection was so eclectic we thought we were on another planet. We
couldn’t wait to leave!"
6. "There were 8 to 10 people including very young children with IPODS fighting over who should
be the DJ. Totally out of control!"
7. "It was the most disorganized wedding we have ever seen. Not at all what we want."
8. "If they hired a professional to coordinate things, at least the photographer would have been
able to get the pictures done right. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity missed."
9. "They gave him songs to play on his IPOD and he couldn’t get them to work."
10."When we saw the groom running his own wedding with and IPOD we knew it was a casual
affair."
11."In the end, they may have saved a couple of hundred dollars, but sacrificed the most
important day of their life."

Competition - Live DJs
Professional DJ's are more costly, typically $250 to $1000 for 4 hours. In contrast, a
typical Self-DJ rental is 24 hours for $300 with microphone.
While a good DJ can make a party, many don't. Guests often complain about a poor
music variety, or because the DJ will not play “their” song, or because the music is
simply too loud.
The Self-DJ Jukebox boldly says “party” and sets the right mood. Self-DJ is literally
hands-on, getting guests involved while keeping musical content, and volume levels,
under control. A Self-DJ Jukebox can be used for extended lengths of time, unlike
their human counterparts.

Self-DJ® Jukebox
Business Plan
Marketing Overview
Success By Numbers
A salesman making only 2 presentations a day, able to convert only 1 out of 10
presentations, probably shouldn't be selling. However, even with only 6 Self-DJ sales
a month he, or she, would still gross $29,153 per year with 2 weeks vacation, $36,441
with just one more call per day, or $97,176 by converting 1 out of 3, with just 2
presentations a day.
Product knowledge Is Key
Our network of manufacturer's reps and direct sales people will be self-employed.
They will also sign an agreement to pay for their own Self-DJ demo system at cost.
Salespeople will be able to use their Self-DJ Jukebox systems for business or personal
use, and as a tax deduction.
With an easy and fun product to sell, and such excellent commissions, few, if
any salespeople, will fail. There is no real expense from successful direct
salespeople. Self-DJ Jukeboxes will sell like wild-fire!
Compelling Sales Argument
In addition to tents, typical companies rent skid-steer excavators and tractors costing
approx. $15,000 to $30,000 for $200-$300/day. Heavy equipment is durable like the
Self-DJ Jukebox and with proper maintenance will last a long time. But, unlike the
Self-DJ Jukebox, there are far more headaches and costly repairs. Self-DJ Jukeboxes
provide a much quicker return on investment, cost much less, require no maintenance,
and generate more revenue with minimal effort.
The slow economy is actually creating even more rental opportunities for Self-DJ. We
are seeing fewer traditional wedding receptions held at supper clubs and banquet
halls. The trend is more fund-raisers, public events, and festivals.
Rapid U.S. Penetration
By taking advantage of guerrilla marketing and web 2.0 technologies such as
FaceBook, Twitter and WordPress, it will be possible to coordinate a massive sales
effort across the United States, and rapidly develop this new market.
The Self-DJ® Jukebox is the right product, at the right time.
