Trestle Creek Cabinets

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Teton County, Wyoming and Idaho are experiencing steady growth in the high-end residential markets and there is a general consensus of continued growth in the area. Taking part in this growth, while providing attention to the design development, ordering process, project management, and installation will put us on the road to success.

5.1 Competitive Edge

Our competitive edge is our ability to provide high volumes and flexibility in style, while maintaining a quality product backed by excellent service.

5.2 Sales Strategy

Our sales strategy is to make ourselves known through mailings, print advertising, and personal contact to architects and contractors who are primarily involved with the design/construction of commercial development and luxury homes.

Having a showroom will be a sales tool in itself. A showroom will give us exposure to the general public, new arrivals to the area, and construction professionals.

5.2.1 Sales Forecast

The following table shows projected cabinet sales. As the company gets established in the market, we anticipate strong sales growth over the next three years.
