Strategies for garden centers!
Ask yourself
- Starting your retail garden center
- How much will it really cost?
- Complete budgets to determine pricing including break even points, labour
needs and costs, charges for services you provide. - Advertising and marketing programs that increase traffic flow.
- Attracting new customers to your store.
- Overcoming barriers to high prices.
- Purchasing products: Who should you purchase from, what quantities should
you buy, at what price? What about discounting and loss leaders? - Retail design and set up: Designing the center, placement of products, colour
scheme, traffic flow, signage, security. - Management: Job descriptions, computer systems, paper flow and design
- Training: Special programs for supervisors, staff, productivity, and add on
sales techniques
Ask yourself
- Are you maximizing the potential of your employees?
- Are your employees productive team players?
- Is your company plagued with absenteeism and high turnover?
- Are you making plans for expansion and require critical objective data upon
which to base future decisions? - Can you afford to ignore problems that are costing you money?
