Global Gadgets Imports (GGI) began operations in 1992 as an importer of
home decor and gift items. Initially, GGI imported from various Asian
manufacturers and sold its inventory through a network of distributors
and other intermediaries who supplied to the retail and mail order
catalog market. In 1995, GGI opened its first retail store. This
decision was fueled by a desire the owner had to be closer to the
consumer and capture the high profit margins possible through
eliminating the distributors. The success of this one location led to
the opening of ten additional stores in a three state region, while the
distributor business also continued to grow.
After ten years in business, GGI deals almost exclusively with one
manufacturer so import and distribution functions are somewhat
optimized. However, over the last year, revenues from the wholesale
business have been slipping, while store sales remain flat. Management
believes the weakness to be marketing. GGI has a few ideas that might
turn the business around and bring new growth. They want to hire you to
give them guidance and direction on this marketing project.
