The Deniplant Company activates in:

the domain of naturist medicine:

-Growing medicinal plants and forest fruits.

-Manufacturing medicinal teas.

 The initial idea:

The products of the company:  DENIPLANT and DENIPLANT KIDS are teas made of medicinal plants that treat the intern causes that detach and develop the skin disease named psoriasis, without ointments, other medicines or diet.

            The products and services form a “linkage bridge” between the company and the market, between the producer and the client. No product comes to live by itself, without having an idea as a base , because that represents an assembly of physical, chemical, or any other nature elements, reunited in other to fulfill a function. 

So the central idea that stayed as a basis at the creation of the Deniplant products was that “Health is more than anything” and the health of their children should be the first care of all parents.

 We all have been kids and got sick. even only of a simple cold, also having in consideration also the cases of the unlucky faultless children who got genetically transmissible diseases from their parents. One of those diseases is psoriasis too, a skin disease with a predisposition of transmission to the descendants.

All men have the right to be healthy and their purpose and obligation should be preventing both their diseases and the ones that might appear to their followers

Knowing that in the nature there are plants that can fulfill this job, to prevent and even eliminate affections, like psoriasis, I thought we could provide a new innovative product in order to make the wish, of preventing diseases, come true.

Developing the initial idea:

The position that, the Deniplant products  will reach, is a top one, because in the mind of consumers, their qualities in prevention will be superior in front of  the other products on the market that are used for healing the already existing diseases and not for their prevention.

 The products represents a high degree of novelty, being produced under the license accorded by the TRADE DENIPLANT® , the trade having as a base an invention patent registered  at OSIM.

The trade is also registered at OSIM Romania and also at OHIM Spain for UE.

 The implementation of the project:

The entire idea is being put in practice by setting up the Deniplant Company. After that we will be able to develop partnerships and even sell the product’s license or open a clinic with naturist treatments.

During my stage as a volunteer at The Medical Foundation “the Hope” I realized the huge importance of this discovery and also the great opportunity that comes with implementing it in practice. So I decided to prepare myself in order to set up a company and when I will have the legal age, necessary in my country (in about 6 months) I will register officially this company under my name.

Until then I develop my activity under an association group with my family.  

Concerning other products offered by our competitors :

In order to make a difference in front of the opponent’s products, we put an important accent on the quality of the used products and ingredients.

Nowadays there is no product that addresses to prevention. That is why most of the sick people use allopath treatments for ameliorations. A small part of them tries the naturist products offered by the competition

 In the European guide against psoriasis there are beeing mentioned some of the allopath medicines used in the therapy and also the adverse effects that can appear.

1. Local treatment: --dermatocorticoids can provide exacerbation of the re-use, production atrophy the skin, worsen viral infections, fungal, bacterial, develop tahifilaxie (therapeutic effect disappears after prolonged use = skin is used to product), applied to children is risky and there are inefficient in psoriasis extended;

--derivatives topic of vitamin D can cause major irritation to the face and creasy, the uncontrolled use might be hypercalcaemia, with all the negative effects of it;

--retinoid topic they grate, with itching and desquamation skin, is not used during the day (photosensitivity)

--The use of high concentrations of salicylic acid in children may be followed by absorption and the occurrence of toxic effects General (Reye: fatal liver toxicity and central nervous system)

Conclusion:   Any substance put on the skin, in 24 hours by blood circulation throughout the body.    The side effects of treatment have a local variable severity, ranging from irritation and itching of the skin reaction to very serious.

2. PUVA therapy (Psoralen + ultraviolet A):

--is associated with the risk of developing various forms of cancer, especially in case of simultaneous use of treatments immunosuppression (described below);

--is associated with a high risk of developing skin cancer from skin photo type I and II, including the risk of occurrence of melanoma a few years after discontinuation of PUVA

3. Immunosuppression therapy:

-- is prohibited in pregnancy, presents the risk of developing certain types of cancer, require regular monitoring, monthly release of biological samples:

-- Methotrexate: diffuse pulmonary fibrosis, renal and liver, bone marrow, impaired spermatogenesis, banned in active infection and gastric ulcer;

-- Etanercept: banned in case of infections, heart, in pregnancy.

-- Cyclosporine: renal impairment, hypertension.

4. Biological therapy: Infliximab, Efalizumab: forbidden to pregnant women, the risk of malignancy, require rigorous monitoring, the prices are very high cost.

SWOT Analysis:

The advantages brought by this business can be clearly seen from the financial indicators of the project:

4. The hazards of the business:

We also took in consideration some of the hazards that might appear:

Market hazard:  The concept of the business is based on an invention and under exclusive license of the Deniplant Trade (somehow does not exist, since is under license of another trade.

5. Competitive hazard: Choosing the starting prices, between a maximum and a minimum. There is a possibility of adjutancy, according to the sales strategy.

Management hazard: The experience of the leading team is based on the « know-how » and support from my father ( who invented the Deniplant products).

6.Financial hazard: The financial increase will be based only from profits, without any external credits.

The marketing policy: According to the National Institute of Statistics, in 2003 the population of the ROMANIA country was: Total = 21.733.556

The medical statistics from the Ministry of Public Health say that in our country between 2-4% of the people suffer of this disease.

So we can take in consideration a sales market between 652.006  and  869.342 possible buyers.

In our marketing policy we apply « mix marketing » -product, price, distribution, promoting, because only a complete collaboration between these elements can lead to successful results.

The strategy of the product:

-Introducing on the market a product under license, based on a Romanian invention patent.

-This AIN’T a chemical medicine, it is a tea made of medicinal plants a 100% natural product.

-The product can exchange allopath medicines.

-Can be used in parallel with other naturist treatments in balneary-watering resorts.

-Actions in preventing and treating the intern causes that detach and develop psoriasis.

The price policy:

Deniplant Kids is presented in boxes with 30 doses each (one for everyday)

The cost of the tea is superior in comparison with the similar autochthonous products, already existing on the market, but inferior according to the prices of the imported products.

The 3% discount of the costs when paying through bank cards by eliminating the banks and post brokerage.

In addition to:

The Deniplant Company will launch a club of the sick people where the members will benefit of a discount of 10% for the Deniplant products.

On the forum of the company, we will organize contests, with prizes consisting in Deniplant products.

It will exist: Deniplant Kids–Social for children coming from poor families.

The Deniplant Company will develop programs for the popularization of the information’s about the medicinal plants, places where the tea will be served for free.

For making the benefits bigger: we had in view the externalization of some services like:

-Harvesting the medicinal plants

-Fabrication of the biodegradable board boxes

-Grinding, dosing and packing the doses of plants.

-Packing in the biodegradable board boxes

 Distribution policy:

Launching the Deniplant and Deniplant Kids teas will be made in drugstores specialized on natural products, the distribution will be also made through the internet, with the help of the Deniplant on-line shop .

In this case, the payment of the products will be made through post, bank or with cards.

The expedition of the products will be made through the Romanian Post, or any type of fast post. 

Image policy:

The position that  Deniplant products  will reach is a top one, because in the mind of consumers, the quality of prevention will be superior in front of  the other products on the market that are used for healing the already existing disease and not for prevention.

The image of the product:

Motto: “Why to go to the doctor’s for any simple affection, phototherapy helps the organism  fight against simple sicknesses with the help of simple treatments.”

            With the Deniplant products is easier to prevent the sickness than to treat it.

            People who will invest in preventing the sicknesses will win both mentally and physically.

Deniplant will take care for the visits at the doctor to be as rare as possible and only to communicate the excellent health state. 

Fidelisation policy:

In order to stimulate and satisfy our customers it appeared the Deniplant Guarantee. After the first moth of usage, if the customer is not happy with the results, it will receive back 100 % of the cost. This way there will be avoided the recasting of the products.

 Concerning partnerships:

In order to resolve some of the stages of the production we have collaboration partnerships with specialized companies.

When the company will have the necessary funding we will acquire the technology we need in order to develop all the activity independently.

Growing up the plants and the forest fruits and harvesting them are realized with external collaborators, which can become the company’s employees

 Concerning funding:

We don’t yet benefit from external funding because we don’t need it. In a change, we need a powerful partner in order to develop or business to an international level.
