Client Management and Acquisition in Online Stationery Sales

Strategy

Introduction

In the greeting cards and stationery industry, a stationery store places itself to not only act as a retail store but a design company that handles many different aspects of guest communications. This document focuses on those efforts from the needs and viewpoints of the customers who will have to actively use collaboration tools that are new to them while building a system that allows employees to navigate client projects and stages internally. With limited time to teach users how to operate these project management tools, an intuitive and simple interface that offers the necessary features to communicate with the company is critical.

In regard to acquiring and retaining customers, social media network marketing plays a huge role in targeting core demographics. A variety of strategies is recommended including individual listening, social customer relationship management, and personalized information broadcasting to appeal to core demographic and customers. These strategies will play a role in implementing successful earned and paid social media promotions as well as word-of-mouth marketing plans.

While working on a wide range of creative and marketing projects for Shreve, Crump & Low, a well-established luxury retailer in Boston and New England, I identified a major area of improvement that could help the company generate more revenue: their product lead strategy.
