Hello Andrea,
Your objectives cover critical aspects of business strategy, focusing on improving
marketing efforts, creating manufacturing efficiencies, and maximizing profit levels. The fact
that sales have both increased and decreased suggests that there may be factors influencing
consumer purchasing behavior or market conditions that are contributing to fluctuations. The
positive result in market share suggests that certain strategies employed by team Baldwin have
been successful in gaining a larger share of the market. Consider investigating the factors
contributing to the inconsistency in sales. “
Inconsistent marketing distorts clear expectations,
makes potential customers unsure of the characteristics of your products and creates unhappy
customers who don't get what they expect. The inconsistencies affect businesses by reducing
both initial sales to consumers and repeat sales from dissatisfied customers” (Markgraf, 2016).
This could involve analyzing customer feedback, market trends, or external influences that may
affect purchasing decisions. Collect and analyze customer feedback to gain insights into their
preferences, satisfaction levels, and reasons behind purchasing decisions. This information can
guide adjustments to marketing strategies.
Continue analyzing sales patterns to identify factors driving higher volumes and areas for
potential growth. Identify successful marketing and sales strategies that contributed to the
increased sales volume. “
While every business relies on solid partnerships between sales and
marketing to succeed, this starts with a good strategy. Otherwise, you’ll be attempting to boost
revenue
without a clear sense of direction” (Hall, 2023). Consider replicating these strategies in
future plans. Incorporate scenario planning into future strategies to anticipate potential changes
in the market landscape and adjust plans accordingly. Regularly review and update plans based
on changing market conditions, ensuring alignment with the company's overall objectives. By

on your discussion post this week. Team Chester looks forward to your efforts in the home
stretch.
Blessings,
Team Chester

Level: Strategic Management in Retail

They are in charge of the development of mission and vision statements, objective setting, planning and implementation of strategies, and evaluation and measurement of performance. Strategic planning often occurs annually in order to prepare for the year ahead, which needs to be formalized and authored in writing (Vanderburg, 2004).
Essentially, strategic managers execute the tasks mentioned above by creating specific action plans and steps to reach a specific organizational goal. Strategic planning is an interactive process that allows various departments involved to cross check how each output affects its earlier stages. Moreover, the strategy formation is guided by various stages of strategic thinking. The result of these processes provides information on the environmental diagnosis, competitiveness, guiding…

A Radiant Beauty for a New Generation When Sam Rainer launched Radant Beauty in the USA in spring 2021, it was with a clearly articulated marketing strategy – a hefty first-year sales goal of $1.7 Million. Nine months after rollout, Rainer’s plan seemed to have worked quite well. His skincare company and product line had already topped the $1 Million mark and showed no signs of slowing.
The line was formerly owned Zirh Skin Nutrition, a male skincare line that was acquired by Shisheido in 2000. Rainer immediately recognized an underserved market segment among young people ages fifteen to twenty-nine, a group he called “Generation Me”. A combination of Generation X and Generation Y, Generation Me had long been ignored by the more recognized skincare companies, which tended to make products to help older consumers fight such skin ailments as wrinkles and recondition ageing skin. No serious conservatively priced high-end skin care solutions existed for young skin…
