Property Features and Assets:

Market Competition and Expansion:
This business has done little or nothing by way of advertising in the past with a large percentage of new business being the result of the most effective form of advertising – word of mouth recommendation. By far the most visible form of marketing for this business is its retail premises, close to a major London Underground station and prominently situated on a busy High Street that is a major thoroughfare into central London.
What marketing the business undertakes is limited to local door drops advertising its products and services to the high volumes of professionals that live in the area.
The business has a very well designed, informative and easy to navigate website which is e-commerce enabled. With the e-commerce facility only recently launched the site would benefit from an investment in marketing.
