MARKET TRENDS & GROWTH PATTERNS
According to the US Census Bureau, as of 2008, Women between the ages of 25-44 accounted for 26.18% of the
US female population, approximately 40.9 million people. As a percentage of the total population, this segment is
projected decrease slightly to 25.68% of women by 2020. However, this will still result in a population increase, to
an estimated 43.5 million people in 2020. Overall, the Census bureau predicts a slow but steady increase in this
population over the next decade.1
Green buying trends have increased sharply in the past five years but have recently leveled off. 40% of consumers
in 2008 said that they were more aware of environmental issues than they were in 2006.2
From 2007 to 2008, the
number of Americans who said they almost always or regularly bought green products increased from 12% to
36%, but that number remained at 36% through 2009. According to the same study, price is becoming a sticking
point for green buyers, 54 percent of whom would buy more green items if they did not cost so much. Continued
growth is still expected in the coming years, with Mintel consumer survey data predicting 13% growth in green
shopping by 2013, and 19% by 2014.3

hobbies like yoga. According to the US Census, women between the age of 25 and 44 account for 13.2% of the US
population, approximately 40.9 million people overall.
There are over 15 million women between the ages of 25 and 34, and approximately 2.6 million of them have an
income of over $50,0002. For women between 35 and 54, there are approximately 4.5 million who make over
$50,000 per year, out of over 22 million total3.
The green market is becoming very significant as well, as Americans are becoming increasingly aware of
companies green practices. According to the 2009 BBMG Conscious Consumer Report, 67% of Americans agree its
important to buy products with social and environmental benefits, 51% say theyre willing to pay more for
products with social and environmental benefits, 30% of American consumers are willing to pay up to a 20%

CO MPETITIVE ANALYSIS
COMPETITIVE OVERVIEW
Our competition rests in companies that sell eco-friendly yoga mats, bags, and props.
Our products stand out to others by means of quality and by offering package deals. We will also
offer a variety of eco friendly yoga mats for customers to be able to compare.
Our competition is branding their products by putting their names on the products they areimporting. Furthermore, by making their website informational our competition is turningresearchers into buying customers.
Offline retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target offer inexpensive yoga products with the appeal of
instant gratification (no wait time to receive your product). However, the low-quality, short
product life, and the lack of eco-friendliness create a consumer market that we are not targeting.

y Free of toxic plasticizers and foaming agents
W hy PVC is bad for our environment, and why gogr eenyogamats.com d oe s not sell prod ucts
containing mor e than 1% PVC :
y PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic, commonly referred to as vinyl, is one of the most
hazardous consumer products ever created.y Most consumers do not know that a 3 in the recycle symbol indicates that the plastic is
made of PVC. PVC cannot be effectively recycled due to the many different toxicadditives used. One PVC bottle can contaminate a recycling batch of 100,000 bottles.
Less than 1% of PVC is recycled!
y When produced or burned, PVC plastic releases dioxins, a group of the most potentsynthetic chemicals ever tested, which can cause cancer and harm the immune andreproductive systems.
y Health risks include angiosarcoma of the liver, lung cancer, brain cancer, lymphomas,leukemia, and liver cirrhosis.
y Communities surrounding vinyl chloride facilities suffer from groundwater and air pollution.
y New car smell? New shower curtain smell? That¶s the smell of poisonous chemicals off-gassing from the PVC. Our bodies are contaminated with poisonous chemicals releasedduring the PVC lifecycle, such as mercury, dioxins, and phthalates, which may poseirreversible life-long health threats.
PRICING STRATEGY
Our retail price must be below that of our suppliers in case a customer decides to look up the brand name on the mat (Manduka or Jade).

LOCATION
Our customers are located in the United States and are all online. Our competitors are United States based online
suppliers of yoga mats and related products. All of our California sales are taxed. The community lifestyle that
makes up our customer base are those located within the United States that have started to embrace the movement to
³Go Green´, the more recent trend of yoga, and also that of conveniently shopping online.
There are two physical locations of our facilities. One office is located in Solana Beach, California. This office is
1000 square feet, has four private offices with one main room attached to all. There are two large whiteboards for
meeting and brainstorming sessions, three tables and three computers for interns in the main room, and is located off
of interstate 5. The second office is located in Pacific Beach, California, is also 1000 square feet, has two board
rooms, and is also located off of interstate 5. Our relation with our vendors is not related to our physical locations
because we drop-ship and do not need vendors to physically come to us.
PROPERTY OWNERSHIP / LEASE TERMS
Both offices are rent free to Go Green Yoga Mats.
EQUIPMENT
PURCHASING POLICIES
All GGYM sales are done over the phone or are placed online through ebay and through our website with a valid
credit card currently through do-it order. Eventually, this will be done on net 30-90 day payment terms with our
vendors. We only ship within the United States and customers receive their orders within two to five days of order
placement. Refunds are handled through our customer service intern. We do not manage any inventory as all products are drop-shipped from our vendors. Our website is updated and organized as to size, color, and availability
on an as-needed basis.
