By selling the Purity II to the box stores, we are gaining market from builders and remodelers. We will be offering a discount to the box stores for buying in bulk. Our sales team will get incentive as well from selling orders to the box stores. Incentive size for the salespeople depends on the quantity sold to the box stores. Retail market sales consist of internet and door to door sales. The door to door sales will be phased out because our team believes this strategy to be old fashioned and could portray a negative outlook on Eco Water as a company. The markets we would like to tap into are more rural territories. These types of markets show more cases of rust, impurities, and contamination in the water. Consumers will also enjoy better-tasting water, coffee, soups, mixed drinks, juices, and beverages.
If water amount collected increases or decreases, the catchment bottles can be changed and altered for size.

The small, yet efficient size of the design allows for portability, and can be used indoors in the case of a cyclone or unsuitable weather conditions. The device is designed with the local culture and geography in mind; primarily consisting of recyclable plastic bottles and grains from Vanuatu. As chemicals are excluded in the design, the materials are familiar appropriate, simple to use and will encourage the community to filter their water. The construction and maintenance can be easily taught to and performed by locals, both men and women. This design is flexible and can cater for different situations including material availability and

Water is a natural renewable resource on earth that not many people have access to. Many people that do have access to water do not have access to clean water.

Bottled water is a high revenue business with little to offer its consumers. Americans spent around $11.8 billion dollars on bottled water in 2012 (Boesler). It is surprising to discover that bottled water costs at least 300 times more than tap water (Boesler). Bottled water drinkers might assume this is an adequate price considering marketers convince them it comes from natural springs, but at least 25% of bottled water comes from municipal water supplies (“Bottled Water”). The company filters the tap water and sells it in misleading packaging at an outrageous price. However, with tap water only $ 0.004 a gallon, Americans can filter their own water and increase the productive opportunities for their money (Boesler).
Equally important, when a disaster strikes bottled water is a lifesaver. During natural disasters access to clean tap water can be rare, due to power outage and broken pipes tap water flows through. Bottled water is essential to surviving a disaster because people need it to keep up hygiene and hydrate. Bottled water can save the day when tap water is powerless. Bottle water will never disappoint in a time of need.
