A Plan For Christian Business Development

By Elena McDowell


When one would want to go into Christian business development, then there are a lot more things to think of as compared to a normal business. First of all, his objectives and purpose would have to be in line with the ideologies of Christianity. Of course in order to do this, he would need a guide that will show him the ropes.

Like all businesses, the very first step would be to think what kind of store should be opened. Now before creating a Christian store, it is extremely important to get the opinion of the church before venturing into anything. The church will have to approve of the concept before the owner decides to make the store.

Now it is best to first grab some ideas from a local Christian Business paper or journal in order to conceptualize. The reason why one must be up to date with the paper is simply because the paper is filled with trends in the world of Christianity. As long as he is updated with the trends, then he will know what kind of store to open.

Aside from taking a look at the local paper, another thing that can be done would be to consult the internet. The internet is a haven for those who are seeking information from all over the world. In fact, one can even get in touch with other Christians over the web in order to seek for some advice or ideas.

Once one has already thought of a good idea for his store, then he may now come up with a good business plan. Like a regular plan, one has to include all of the elements of a good one so that he will be guided accordingly. Included inside the plan are the executive summary, list of partners, the target markets, and of course the budget.

The first part to deal with would be the executive summary. The executive summary includes the objective of the store as well as the list of products. It will also give a short insight on what the industry is like. This is pretty much the overview of what is going to happen with the store.

Next on the list would be the list of partners that one will be associating with. The first on the list would definitely be the church because most probably, the church will sponsor him. Next would probably be either the friends or family members.

Included in the plan also would be an in depth analysis on the target market of his store. Now the specific demographics should the age group and social class of this market segment that is targeted. Of course other demographics are needed like the lifestyle and other things.

The final step would be to make the budget. Take note that the budget for the Christian business development project is very important because without it, the store will not be made. Also, never forget to make sure that the purpose of making the store is the same of the ideals of Christianity.
