Marketing & Sales

Marketing Plan

The Dollar Store will benchmark our objectives for sales promotion and mass selling.

We are focusing our marketing effort on the community of consumers that want a store that has an interesting variety of merchandise at bar gin prices. We will implement a strategy that treats these customers as a community. This means our marketing resources will be centered around both sales promotions (events, displays) and personal sales (customer service, friendly atmosphere).

• We will stay within our marketing budget.
• Marketing promotions will be consistent with the Mission Statement.

Social media is essential. Our target market is the community so we’ll inform people about events, happenings, weather, all general interest, for the most part. And only rarely about specifics of the store. 

Sales Plan

Employees are paid a straight wage but can achieve a semi-yearly bonus based on profits and customer satisfaction rates.

All potential sales will be attended to in a timely fashion and long-term salesperson-customer relationships will take precedence over sales closure.

Operations

Locations & Facilities

We have leased a retail store which we use to market and merchandise our products. It is located one mile from Main St. on River Way in Bend, Oregon. The company was incorporated last year on January 2.
