Qualitative Analysis
Based on the quantitative analysis of every alternatives, the founder, Daisy Stargell, is recommended to avail the Moana-themed opportunity for residential customers because with the doubled marketing expenditure for corporate events, sales are not as much generated as of residential customers. Prices would be charged same from the residential customers as of the previous year so there are more chances that customer base would increase because every parent would like to have more fun with their kids at their special day and kids would be happier with the new theme of Moana and Maui. While Character House would charge more prices as compare to previous year for this Moana-themed opportunity so there are chances that this group of customer may not organize events from Character House.
