Growth/Expansion:
A new owner can definitely increase marketing to draw more clients to the store. The business has very little Internet presence and a new owner should use search engine marketing on Google and Yahoo to generate more business. They can also take advantage of the large client database with direct mailings and in-store promotional events. A savvy owner could also use popular social marketing sites, such as Facebook and Twitter to generate buzz for the store and alert current and potential clients about sales on popular items. |
