It appeared that what I was doing in those departments was reflected in the success of my market share. Instead, I paid to have my capacity increased from 25 to 100 per day due to my lost sales in the previous quarter. At the end of the fourth quarter I still held a majority of the market share; considering I turned away 9,064 consumers and only sold 1,625 products – this was impressive.

By 2003, we reached 10 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees who helped run our day to day operations. In order to increase our sales even further, we hired a marketing manager to help obtain more customers for our products through tactical advertisement.

Along with investment in capacity increases, we also planned to spend a large portion on marketing to our prospective customers, thus protecting our position again from competition. We spent a total of $115,717 on marketing. We thought that this was going to be high in comparison to the other organizations; however, in reviewing the other organizations financial figures we can see that we were actually one of the organizations that spent the least on marketing (it in the end did not drastically affect us, because out of all the sections we still finished second, despite our low spending on marketing).
