Competition: The store has only advertised twice during the holidays. A new innovative, energetic buyer could develop an aggressive marketing/advertising plan through direct mail, Shopping Center flyers, and coupons targeting the surrounding neighborhoods and local area business, heightening awareness and incentivizing more customers to come to the store. This could potentially tap into a greater source of customers driving revenues upward increasing profitability.

Growth/Expansion: The Store has a reputation for excellent customer service and carries unique items that no one else offers. The store currently does not have a web site. A web site could increase sales volume through a state-of-the-art site built to attract more customers and create a virtual store. There is no marketing/advertising plan in place. Through the development and implementation of an advertising campaign the store could potentially increase revenues. The Liquor Store remains above competitors throughout the county.
