Suggestions for improving business?

Suggestions for improving business?

I need to write a 2 page report on suggestions for improving this fictitious business and approximate costs for my assignment.

Green Office Supplies is a small store which sells an exclusive range of environmentally friendly stationery items - like recycled craft, paper, pens, invitations and art supplies. The store is located in the old church on the outskirts of the busy shopping precinct. Due to its position not many people pass the shop and parking has become a problem due to the construction of a new office block next door.

Following recent financial events, this business is struggling and to make things worse, it is expected that a new stationery store will open in the office complex. Access to this new store will be easy for those working in the building.

I'm not sure where to start, so any help/tips/advice would be great, thanks!

    Im only 15 so it may not help but; by re-locating the shop into a busier place could increase the amount of customers, advertising the shop, putting on a sale, basically making the shop stick out, leaflets, newspapers tv adds, anything it could do for a better publicity, also changing the name cuz that names ****, it doesnt make it stand out....you want a name and a logo, what attracts people most are logos and a catchy name...

    This business is dead. Why :

    Green Office Supplies is a small store which sells environmentally friendly recycled products which cost more $$$$ for customers to buy. The new stationery store will sell for less $$$

    Do you have the authority to communicate for the business enterprise??? the 1st concern i could do could be to discover greater effective people to run the shops. additionally, i think of it fairly is possibly a sturdy concept to place them in aspects the place there are various people each and all the time, no longer merely in aspects the place there is procuring, or companies. The hours are sturdy good now, however the single i flow to is a blend KFC/Taco Bell/Burger King, so there are various possibilities, besides the incontrovertible fact that it extremely is no longer close to the homestead, it fairly is approximately 5 miles from any properties, merely companies, and on an fairly busy highway. The busy highway is robust i assume, yet there is constrained site visitors after working hours, so the employees do no longer seem to care approximately their artwork, and are extremely impolite to the consumers. I easily have been there for the duration of lunch while it fairly is fairly busy, and returned in the night, with much less people, and that they've a bent to be impolite in the night. possibly merely the placement i flow to! i could prefer to confirm distinctive potatoes! The flaked stuff isn't actual! i like the gravy, and that they could desire to convey returned the salads. The corn on the cob is often soggy, and the youngster's food could desire to upload some fruit fairly of chips for the youngsters.
