 Online Marketing  Banner ads, on Facebook and other websites, can help bring attention to our online store.  We’ll have a page on Facebook, and we can offer daily deals to people who ‘like’ our page, as well as keep up a blog via Facebook.  When someone checks out, online or in store, we will ask for their and send them periodical deals and news concerning upcoming events, along with a link to ‘send to a friend.’  Storefront Marketing  Advertising in the Boomerang, as well as newspapers in Northern Colorado, to help bring as much exposure to our store as possible.  Radio advertisements could be huge in this town! People remember radio ads and jingles. If you grew up in CO, you still remember the Shane Co. radio ad, for example.  We will sponsor a motocross rider, and have him wear gear with our logo on it. This can bring attention from other motocross enthusiasts outside of the Laramie area, and they will become interested in our online store.

 SAP B1 ERP System  Why we like it: it has pre-built modules for warehousing and e-commerce, as well as a CRM module. Runs on a variety of platforms, so we shouldn’t have any trouble implementing it. We also like the fact that we will have increased collaboration between our storefront operation and our online store.  $4,250/user (between $50,000 and $75,000 for implementation, license, services, and number of users)

 It’s a customizable software system that is increasingly popular in smaller businesses. Its many features include: payroll management, manufacturing and distribution management, financial analysis codes, and customer relationship management.  SAP B1 has a user-friendly interface, making it easier to use than other systems. The system is very reliable, and relatively inexpensive. Within the modules, this system has many ways to track things such as warranties, distribution costs, serial number tracking, accounts receivable tracking, and patterns within customer relations.  Any small business looking to boost efficiency and striving for further growth. Many industries use SAP B1, such as Warehouse and Production Management, and retail industries.  There are 550 add-ons available for further customization of the system, and there is a mobile app available too. This shows that the SAP B1 is flexible and reaches mobile platforms, so it’s not going to become obsolete any time soon. The system’s format is set up in a way to really guide our business decision making. We can be up and running in 2-8 weeks.

 We think this system will be very useful in integrating all of our business enterprises. We’ll be able to see how much product we have on hand, we’ll have financial analyses to determine where our money is going, and we’ll have a CRM system in place to help maintain personal relationships with all of our customers, whether online or in store. This system will reduce transaction costs, and will give us more time to focus on other areas of the company.
