Key points of business. marketing policy
Success in trading requires the implementation of some inherent rules:
- Choosing the right store location. The outlet should be located in a profitable and popular place, preferably in an entertainment and shopping center. The best place is near popular women's products.
- Control of the seller's activities is mandatory, especially on weekends and holidays - at this time the influx of buyers increases significantly, and on the eve 14 February and 8 March to buy a gift to your loved ones is a lot of people who want to. It is difficult for the seller to cope with the influx of buyers. In the absence of help, some of those who want to buy gifts can go to competitors. As a result, profits are lost.
- When the level of self-sufficiency will be reached, it will be possible to expand the business: or within a franchise or own brand.
One of the most important elements of the marketing policy of the new store will be the correctly selected level of margin on the main product groups.. This feature is of fundamental importance and will largely determine the success and even viability of the business entity.. Jewelry allows a margin in the amount of 100 and even 200 %. But it is important to monitor, in order to remain competitive , the pricing policy should correspond to the prices prevailing in the industry.
Properly organized and conducted advertising campaign increases the chances of any enterprise. The main and most effective methods of promoting a new store:
– advertising in the media, including advertising blocks and articles in newspapers, television videos;
– bright signage, informing about discounts, Promotions, bonus systems and other loyalty programs;

– development and promotion of the store website. It should be as informative and accessible to users as possible. It is advisable to open an online store, which will increase sales and expand the buying audience beyond a particular city or district.
So-called word of mouth still works effectively. Therefore, it is important not only to attract, but also to retain existing customers, providing the highest level of service and high quality products.
When analyzing the marketing component, the correspondence of offers and demand in the selected market segment is calculated.. So, to date, the number of participants in the jewelry market in the country has exceeded 10 800. Considering, that the population of the country, according to the latest data, is almost 143 million, it is possible to draw conclusions about the relative unemployment of the market and the availability of prospects. According to the research of the national market of jewelry, with the current upward trend in 15 – 50% annually the potential number of new market participants will be about 1 600 units.
If we assess the situation in the jewelry trade as a whole, it is now in the post-crisis phase., and therefore, gradually, but steadily gaining growth. In the period from 2013 to 2016 year there was a sharp decline in the economy, therefore, the jewelry and related products industry experienced a strong decline. Predictions for 2019 and the following years are optimistic. Everything, what you need at the start – offer a popular assortment and convince the target audience of its exclusivity.
Financial part
Financial issues can be divided into 2 main categories – expenditure and revenue parts. All calculations are carried out taking into account the minimum level of profitability, as well as all existing risks.
Revenue in the jewelry trade is a changeable phenomenon, which depends on the season and some other factors. for example, before the holidays and with the beginning of autumn, buyers are activated. Especially important in this industry is the pre-New Year season., when the peak of buying gifts begins. At the same time, in the summer there is always a decline in sales.. You can activate it, using popular marketing methods, including offering discounts and promotions to customers. Besides, in order not to suffer losses, it is necessary to try to squeeze out the maximum revenue during the holidays, by all means attracting customers.
Preliminary planning of the jewelry store provides for the calculation of the future structure of income. This indicator is determined by such factors.:
– general conclusions about the state of the market of goods of the jewelry sector;
– analysis of the current demand in the industry;
– results of studying the market of providing services for the sale of jewelry.

At this stage of market development, the increase in sales and consumption by the target audience is 15 – 50 per cent per annum. If this trend continues, Annual sales volumes grow by 12,6 millions, and if the positive dynamics are maintained, this indicator can increase significantly..
The approximate pricing policy of the store of the selected type will look as follows:

| Chain (steel) | 900 – 2 200 |
These main items of the price list can be supplemented by other types of jewelry, accessories and décor items. The assortment can also include souvenirs and gift products.
When calculating the expected profit, it is necessary to take into account all possible risks., which can reduce the level of profitability of the enterprise. First of all, the company is threatened by such factors.:
– high competition;
– the impact of fashion and other volatile trends on customer demand and preferences;
– dependence of the company's success on the location of the store.
You can minimize the effect of these risks, timely studying the current fashion trends and features of demand among buyers. High level of professionalism of the staff, especially sales consultants, and competent advertising policy, will also significantly increase the chances of the new enterprise and its competitiveness.
One of the main points of the plan is the cost of business. First month costs, year, and one-time expenses represent such indicators:

| lease of premises | 3 000 | 36 000 | 6 000 | 42 000 |

The margin on jewelry is taken at the rate of 100-200 %, depending on the product, for the calculations of this store took a markup in 100 %. Such a pricing policy will make it possible to recoup all start-up investments and maintain a competitive position in the market..
