Marketing and Promotion

Ideas you can use in your store

Sales don't just happen. (If it was that easy, everyone would quit their job and open a business) You have to MAKE sales happen. Running a business requires its own set of skills. The articles below are just a starting point.

I would encourage you to visit your local library. They will probably have 100's of books on running business.

 

Marketing Theory. Basic marketing concepts for retail.

Marketing 101 The 4 P's of marketing: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion.

Niche Marketing How to compete against the big chains and win.

Marginal Profit Forget turnover. Think marginal profits.

Breakeven Analysis A 'must know' topic.

Monte Carlo Technique Avoiding risks.

 

Spreadsheets. A valuable planning tool.

Start Here if you have never used a spread sheet.

 

Retail Store Promotions. Ideas borrowed from other business. If you have a good promotion that you have seen, please email me so I can include it.
