Marketing a Children's Furniture Wholesale and Manufacturers Business
Looking for innovative ways to market a children's furniture wholesale and manufacturers business? Although you there are no magic bullets that will enable you to dominate the industry, there are several things you can do to improve visibility and market presence.
If you're hoping to leverage marketing to give your children's furniture wholesale and manufacturers business a competitive advantage you're not alone.
Today's small businesses operate in a dynamic sales and marketing environment. Core marketing concepts offer touch points to help small business owners navigate uncertain markets.
Loss Leaders
The majority of children's furniture wholesale and manufacturers businesses understand that more customers will walk through the door if a few products are priced at less than full retail value. Although you may lose money on one product, you can make up for it buy selling a higher volume of other products. A classic mistake of loss leader marketing is to create pricing without researching the competition. In a worse case scenario, you could be counting on pricing that is higher than your competitors. For the majority of children's furniture wholesale and manufacturers businesses, this approach is most advantageous when it is coupled with a promotion for complementary products or services that are offered at full pricing. Also, it's important to carefully consider the quantity of discounted products you are willing to offer at the loss leader price since stockpiling or a high volume of loss leader sales can negate the revenue benefits of this strategy.
Email Campaigns
Email campaigns make use of the fact that most consumers and businesses receive information electronically. More than 50% of all email users check their inbox six or more times a day. So if you can deliver messaging to your customers' inboxes, the likelihood it will be seen and read by a large percentage of recipients is extremely high. For children's furniture wholesale and manufacturers businesses, collecting and updating the email addresses of qualified recipients isn't cost-effective. Premium mailing list providers can mitigate the cost and hassle of in-house list generation. More importantly, providers typically give business owner an assurance that their lists are accurate and up-to-date.
Product Knowledge
Product knowledge is a fundamental requirement for marketing a children's furniture wholesale and manufacturers business. Seemingly insignificant product specs can be leveraged to communicate value and depth, separating your children's furniture wholesale and manufacturers business from the rest of the field. If necessary, conduct product information meetings before launching a major marketing initiative.
