| Competition:
The business has invested little in marketing and advertising – an area of the business which could be significantly improved upon – relying on direct approaches to potential customers to solicit opportunities to quote. The business does however have an informative website that performs well in all the major search engines for all appropriate search topics.
The business also benefits from the most cost effective form of marketing, strong word of mouth recommendation. |
