Value For Customer

Customers’ perceived value is what lays the foundation for our strategy regarding value delivery. Matching the perception of customers or exceeding it by providing a better experience would leave our customers satisfied. By our research in this industry, we aim to deliver the following major values for the customers.

• Upgraded Kitchen

The kitchen is the King of the house. And some say it is the heart of a home. Upgrading the kitchen is the top priority of every household (customer) as per the trends and research done in this industry. We aim to provide our customers with different ways of upgrading from installing new appliances to knocking down the wall between the living room and kitchen – to make it look more spacious and be in touch with the people gossiping in the living room.

• Revamping the Bathroom

Bathrooms are prone to look old, cracked, or dirty more than any part of the house. Keeping a clean bathroom is what a customer who wants to renovate his house would want as a priority. We offer different renovation ideas for our customers. Improving lighting, adding or changing windows, and replacing tubs are a few we deliver to the customers.

• Green Housing

Tom Frestl, an appraiser of residential and commercial real estate at Valuation Services in Little Rock, says that there has been a growing demand for green housing. People love nature, and they feel nice in a greenhouse. So this would be among the significant values we tend to offer to our customers.

CRM Strategy

Customer Relationship Management is the key to success in the modern business world, where customers have more alternatives and substitute products. Our customer relationship management strategy will help us retain our customers for the long term. The plan includes:

• Customer Value Added

A suitable value proposition will be delivered to the customers to match or exceed their expectations.

• Customer Centricity

We aim to respond to the ever-changing needs of the customer by utilizing all our resources at any time. Customer-centricity may cost more, but it will more to customer loyalty and create future business prospects.

A satisfied customer is a walking advertisement, and one good employee would give you multiple satisfied customers. We aim to train our staff in customer orientation.

• Voice of Customer

Obtaining the pulse of customers and involving them in new product/service development would help us maintain a strong CRM.

Marketing Environment Consideration

The marketing environment includes the evaluation of Internal, External and Macro Environments. An internal mix of five Ms – Men, Materials, Machinery, Money, and Markets will be coordinated based on their capacities to ensure the delivery of customers’ perceived products. The external factor, though, could not be controlled by marketing management but seems to be in ideal conditions for our business. In Micro Environment, suppliers would be our key business partners, providing us with the right quality material on good terms. This will smooth our business operations.

Overall Marketing Strategy

Overall marketing strategy, although explained by this whole paper, if we are specific on the target market, research plan, and customer behavior, it is vital to mention that our target market will be the class of people who own houses of $5 million to $15 million. Market research will be done through both primary and secondary sources. Magazine reports and other articles could provide us with worthy information to make the right business decisions.
