Market Competition and Expansion:

The business has used limited advertising in the past relying on the best advertising media of all, that of word of mouth recommendations from their satisfied customer base. However an immense opportunity exists to build on this businesses reputation and implement further and more assertive methods of advertising to expose the business to even greater markets. Various methods could be used in this regard, including the local press, trade shows, a website and leaflets & brochures. Although the business for sale benefits from a website, it could be far more effective if the necessary work and effort were put into this, from somebody who understands the true value of this medium.
