This storeowner was ready to give up and close her doors forever before we started to reevaluate her options and opportunities. She had been in the leather apparel business in Arizona for a number of years. Most years her business never turned a profit but just stood it’s own. Then as competition grew her sales began to dive, making it seem impossible to turn and physically.

However, opportunity was waiting just around the corner. Another retail apparel storeowner was moving her western wear business to another part of the city.

I urged the leather apparel storeowner to move her location and pick up on the western apparel lines carried by the previous mer ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi hant. She did this, and in just a matter of months started to turn her business around. Customers who had previously shopped at the western wear store were flocking in and she had a new customer base along with her already existing list of customers. And that was just the start.

Words with Pictures In my consulting I have found that many business owners assume that customers know what they are all about. That is a ridiculous way to think. How can a customer know even an ounce of what you know about your business? It is your job to educate them both visually (with a logo) and ver tions increase the patient compliance?

The logo or brand identity was targeted to the retailer’s main audience: active professionals, families, seniors, and teens. Many big corporations started out as one small store. Starbuck’s was one small coffee shop in Pike’s Market, a popular tourist attraction in Seattle. With a unique concept in marketing they took coffee as we knew it (buying Folgers in the grocery store) to locations nationwide wit .
