The Four Ps of Marketing

Product:

Lets start from the first P that is product. You need to have the full control over you product as in means of information in other words you must have the whole product knowledge.This is necessary so that you can let people know good things about your product and must be ready to answer any questions asked.

Yes, it is a good idea if you will take time to research about the scientific background of this treat. But you can also just focus on what you want to sell. You may want to focus on chocolate cakes. Or how about chocolates in gift baskets? There are many options that you can try for such reason.

Place

Where are you located? Who lives in your neighborhood? And how often do you think they will buy? You have to think about those things to be able to plan out accordingly what will be a big hit for these people. You must give them what they are looking for. You must present them with new ideas that you are very sure that they will like.

It is a good thing that you are from the area. You no longer have to resort on hiring people to do a market analysis to know who these people are. Just spread your wings and increase your public relations. This will also increase the probability that these people are going to buy from you.

Price

The price must not be set so high that most people will not buy it. To know the right price for you, you have to know about your competitors. For this you just have to buy their products and know the prices. Your strategies must be close to theirs. People look for products that are of good quality and not too expensive to buy.

Promotion

Your biz, however small it is, will not survive without venturing into promotions. As a startup of a small business, you can start the buzz about you through word of mouth. To achieve this, you must first come with a very good product. Give those out to people the first few days. If you are confident with what you are selling, for sure, people will also like it. They will be your good source of free advertising.

Turn your hobby of making chocolate into a fun-filled and profit generating venture. Consider the abovementioned in starting up your biz. Create a noise for yourself and establish your name in the industry.
