2010 and 2015. Moreover, the population of the city is expected to increase at least
another 5% between 2015 and 2020. By 2020, the targeted audience (adults 45 and over)
is estimated at 17,000 and 36.8% of the total population. The families of adults 45 years
and older is a secondary target market. This group of individuals usually accompanies the
primary target audience to events, such as farmers markets.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) found in a 2014-2015 study that the average person
in Miami spent $6,755 on all food purchases and $2,643 on food away from home. This
finding on consumer spending is similar to the national average of $2,787. This suggests
that most consumers in the Miami area will be equally likely to participate and buy from
a farmers market in Miami, as well as any other place in the country. Additionally, the
BLS found the following food away from home expenditures based on age: $3,206 (ages
45-54); $2,479 (ages 55-64); $2,292 (ages 65-74); $1,319 (ages 75 and older).

2.5 Competition
There is no direct competition in regards to farmers markets in the city. By hosting a
farmers market at Inlet Isles, the hospital will be hosting the only farmers market in the
city of North Miami Beach. Presently, only 2 farmers markets are offered at hospitals in
Florida. Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center in Daytona Beach, and Memorial
Hospital Miramar in Miramar both host farmers markets. There are a dozen farmers
markets in the greater Miami area. These include: Pinecrest Green Gardens Market,
Miami Springs Farmers Market, Coconut Grove Farmers Market, Lincoln Road
Farmers Market, Upper Eastside Farmers Market. In the city of North Miami Beach
there are two other hospitals, Mount Sinai Medical Center, and Aventura Hospital and
Medical Center. Though these two hospitals currently do not host farmers markets, it is
possible they might in the future.
2.6 Marketing Strategy:
Marketing Mix:
Product: Weekly (Saturdays) year-round farmers market. There are 50 10X10 spaces
available to local farmers and producers. Southern Floridas climate allows the farmers
market to run throughout the year. This is the only farmers market open in the city of
North Miami Beach. Additionally, the Food and Nutrition Services department can use 1
space to set up hot/cold-holding stations. This can help to increase FNS revenue, increase
employees use of FNS, and decrease lunch waiting times in the cafeteria.
Place: Inlet Isles Medical Center parking lot E. This parking lot is beside a large field
where staff can set up tables and chairs. Additionally, the field offers young children
(secondary target market) the chance to stay near the farmers market, play. Moreover,
this can lead the primary and secondary target market to continue purchasing at the
farmers market.
Price: $480 per year, or $20 per day. Vendors can apply to reserve a 10X10 spot by
filling out an application. If vendors choose to reserve a spot for the year, vendors costs
are greatly discounted. The rate for single day spots is double the rate for year-long spots.
Promotion: Inlet Isles Medical Center can several opportunities for promotion. Internal
promotion to employees and patients is an effective method. Employees can participate in
the farmers market during lunchtime breaks along with other visitors to the hospital.
Employees can also tell friends and family about the weekly farmers market.
Additionally, giving patients and their family coupons will be beneficial. The use of
coupons, such as $1 dollar off, can help to promote this weekly event and create repeat
visitors. The FNS department also has a budget of $3,100 for the print shop. A
reallocation of this budgeted amount can be used to create small signs, and banners
advertising this weekly event.
Milestones: Proposed Budget and Timeline
We have established several aspiring goals for the farmers market. These goals are
clearly defined, measureable, achievable, and time-oriented. Each milestone in the table
below shows the important administrative, marketing, and implementation goals. By
