Marketing 4 P’s

  • · Promotion: Advertising, Publicity and sales promotions.
  • · Place: Market, channel, distribution.
  • · Price: Low price, Discount, Offer prices and Credit policy.
  • · Products: Brand, Product, Services and functionality.

We will face few competitors, all based in New Town and they will not be challenging for us as our services and products will be much better quality than our competitors. We will offer our customers the best low price possible. We have better services and products which make us different to our competitors. If we face such challenges in the future, we will always be trying to beat them by offering lower prices for the services and products that they also offer similarly. We will beat their (competitors) price so that way we can attract more customers as they would choose us for profession services at affordable prices. We will do advertising, Sales promotion and use the power of social media. Social media are a very big powerful sources to promote your business. We will have social media page where we will be daily updating many things.

Our selling point is offering the lowest price and offering highest quality and by offering delivery services. We value customers time by accepting walk ins and instantly doing the job within an hour.

We will be using penetration and loss leader pricing strategies this helps us to lure customers away from competitors and we can get more customers due to the affordability. This will boost our market target of having larger market. When doing pricing method, we will do competitors price so that customers can afford, and we can have more advantages over our competitors.

Promotional strategies of our business is below the line as it remains in direct control of business. Self-maintained websites, Facebook pages, premises posters and other social medias.

Our business is in right place which is in the main road of New Town and it is clearly visible in customers eyes. We will get to the customers by doing in-store promotions and first-time discounts. It will attract many new customers.

All our products for phone repairs will come from China but the quality will be very good and usually have many in stocks because they don’t expire so we can stock as much as we can.

The total cost for the startup is $55,750 and divide that by two is $27875. This will be funded by our savings because we are not taking any loans out to start-up and operate for the first year. The set-up cost is not so high so we must generate this from our deposit so that we won’t have any loans to payoff.

Starting cost

Note: wages are 0 since families and friends would be helping our for the first few months, therefore the wages is 0.
