Expansion Potential
The business has enjoyed steady growth over the years without really having a dedicated sales and marketing strategy. A more active approach to sales would certainly increase revenues, the current market for this business s products is strong and is forecast in the near and longer term for significant growth. The business is well positioned to take maximum advantage of this growth as it occurs.
Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business currently undertakes a limited level of advertising and very occasionally local newspapers. There are excellent opportunities to increase this and to develop a more interactive internet presence so as to enable online sales and enquiries as well as to market the business more aggressively.
A high proportion of the business s revenue has been due to its excellent reputation for quality and service and strong word of mouth recommendation and referral business.
