The business will indeed of being known in the society. Therefore, he used median in his
advertisement. The local radio stations were used in the broadcasting such stations included
Egesa and Minto FM and Citizen T.V.
Availability of posters and bill boards were also used for those who never used the local radio
stations. These methods were not expensive thus preferred in the advertisement.
Advertisement increased sales due to the fact the goods and services offered by the Samantha
business were known by many not only in the locality but worldwide. Customers from
different parts helped me gather beneficial information concerning the services offered. This
enabled me offer the best and needed goods and services as per the consumer tastes and
preferences.
Free samples were given to customers as promotions thus enabled the business to sell more
newly introduced goods and services.
11
2.5 Pricing
The best and favorable prices were offered to maintain customer and attract more customers
to the business. It considered the actual prices and thus set my prices for people thus charged
fairly to promote the consumers and the retailers who were repacking and selling.
The business will offer credit facilities were offered to the most regular customers. This
encouraged customers to buy frequently from this business thus retained of customers and
attraction of irregular customers thus more sales.
Also, cash discounts were offered to the prompt payers. This encouraged customers to buy
cash for them to be given discounts.
Trade discounts were also offered to those customers who buy in large quantities. This
encouraged customers to buy in large quantities. Therefore, the customers were retained due
to the presence of these discounts.
After sale benefits such as transport were offered to the customers of the business. Therefore,
more bulky purchasers were attracted to buy from I thus benefit from transportation to save
the transportation costs.
The business used personal sales tactics as it promotes price of the product and services sold
in the business premises. This will avoid companies from customer. Though it will be
personal services and selling, the business will employ other personnel for efficient selling to
be achieved.
12
13
The business will have a driver who helped in the distribution of goods to customer door
steps. This will be enhanced to assist bulky purchasers.
Due to the presence of road transport, the business will offer the only effective means
available due to the availability of a tarmacked road. This presence of well tracked roads,
eased transport. The transportation will be done by the pickup.
The transporter encountered bad weather problems and traffic jam. This slowed the
transportation race of the business which might lead to delayed services. This mean that the
business should have a pack up for efficient transportation.
