Marketing mix - price case study. L & C garage equipment services ltd. is a Sealey distributor. Sealey has a retail price which then L & C adds a 30% profit margin to. This is called cost plus pricing which is the most common form of pricing.
The down side of being the cheapest in a given market is that if L & C create a position of being the least expensive, they will have a hard time taking their customers with them when they want to move to the next financial level. They will lose out on a great deal of repeat business when L & C make their price change, if they ever do. No business can afford to ignore the price of similar products, and there are three basic options: cheaper, the same price or more expensive.

In this assignment I will carry out both primary and secondary research to find out who my potential competition, sources of finance is and where to locate my business.
The range of goods/services it offers is: Computer games for all formats Computer consoles Computer accessories Computer magazines and books DVD's This shop's target market is young people and gaming lovers. I think this target market has influenced the location because the owners of Game Plc only want to put shops where it is convenient for their target audience and where there are a lot of people passing. The range of goods such as computer games are influenced by the target market because only the type of games which are most likely to be bought by the target audience is kept in stock because there is no point of having games in stock which are unlikely to be sold.

Promotion and Advertising
This is a very personal way of advertising whereby the advertisement is printed onto a brochure/ postcard/ leaflet etc and allows a company to directly target the right market, creating less of a need for a huge advertising campaign and, ultimately, saving the business money.

Questionnaire Effectiveness
Questionnaires are very important as, without gaining primary insight into a target market's wants and needs, huge losses could potentially be made due to the spending of large sums of money on creating an unsuccessful product/service and the business will be liable to bankruptcy. Furthermore, the better a firm knows their target market's wants and needs, the better suited the service can be to meet these needs and wants. This will ultimately maximise profits, turnover, market share and customer satisfaction, fulfilling the original business aims and contributing towards a more successful overall business.
