III. Yearly action plan and marketing budget
18
III.1. Cooperation
• Our past business partner was Etam where we offered discount-coupons.
• Our new selected business partners are market gardens testing products or special offers if you buy a natural plant
III.2. Yearly activities• every year we award a price to the employee with the
best idea to save our environment and we realize this project
• Support of several environment projects like “Plant for the planet”
19
III.3. Marketing offer
• Based on our selected marketing strategy we offer a new service: “do-it-yourself” products
– Individual consultancy so that the product fits exactly to the customers skin
– Choice between several flavors and ingredients
– No delivery time if all the products are directly available in the shop; otherwise it takes around one week till the product is mixed
– Price depends on the chosen ingredients
and its final volume (small, middle, big)
=> between € 20 to € 50
20
III.4. Marketing activities
• 1) The first issue to deal with it is to implement the new service and the related product in our shops: ØWe have to inform our franchise-partners and our
employees
ØThan we have to coach our employees what is to consider if you mix a lotion and how they have to do it
ØWe have to equip our shops with a special mixer for these lotions and enough raw materials and transparent packages in the beginning
ØWe have to set a compulsory start date in the chosen shops which will offer the new service
21
2) The second issue we have to deal with is the marketing communication:
Ø We have to calculate the needed budget for advertisement, because we want to hang out posters in our shops, to distribute flyers and to promote it online on our Homepage
3) The third issue what we have to consider before we offer the new service is the price-policy:
Ø The product will be more expensive than the normal lotions because of the individuality and the high quality.
Ø We will create a loyalty card so that regular customers get discounts
III.4. Marketing activities

III.5. New standard
• We are going to enhance our quality of service by setting a new standard and offer individual lotions for our customers with individual consultancy within one hour.
III.6. GANTT Scheme• Based on our marketing activities we
have to act in several areas like product, communication and pricing (See Gantt scheme, annex nr 6).
