2. Executive summary
HT ltd will provide the meaning of names of people and
animals. This will specifically be Kinyarwanda and Christian
names, and names of animals in Rwanda. This business has
not yet started anywhere in Rwanda. It is expected to start
December 15th 2013 since Christmas days are good marketing
days with very many people going for the festive season.
Naming is important since it even helps create a difference
between people and management is easily done whether by
governments, public and private enterprises or even
individuals themselves. This therefore creates room for proper
naming of people and animals knowing the right meanings of
the names.

7. Marketing analysis & strategy
• Currently most people go shopping in supermarkets, and
markets. Others go to sporting grounds, clubbing, parties,
beaches, and churches. This gives the business a chance to
maintain a constant customer base on daily basis.
• Availability of old men well versed with knowledge about the
tradition and are able to tell the true meanings of Kinyarwanda
names for both people and animals.

8. Motivation & Promotional plan
• About 96% of Rwandans are Christians, so naming their children with specific
names is seen as a source of worship hence pressing a need to know the
meaning of the names.
• Having been born in a community where people have less knowledge about
culture, most people are left in a vacuum where they don‟t know the meaning
of their names.
• Word of mouth shall be used to approach the customers and the shop owners.
This will lead me to having a spot (working place) at the entrances of the shops
and other grounds where people go to in big numbers like exhibitions,
supermarkets, football grounds, airport, coffee shops and many more. Banners
displaying the meaning of my will be present to motivate people to know
theirs. For example my name (MURAMIRA HILARY) means that my parents
were in times of trouble and then needed someone to strengthen & comfort
them hence came up with the name „MURAMIRA‟. „Hilary‟ means someone
that is very happy and joyful. I therefore brought joy and happiness to my
parents and ended the times of trouble.
• I will also give discounts of 10% off the actual payment for my services to the
very first 10 customers on a daily basis for the first week.

This gives me a chance to get started.

success of this business once maintained.
• Our unique selling proposition is “the Truth behind your
Name”

names.
