Apple computer retail stores would have a difficult time converting to renewable energy due to two-thirds of their stores are currently in shopping malls that are operating on power from a standard power grid (Allan, 2014). Apple will need to decide where to operate their retail stores, corporate offices, and factories where renewable energy would be available for use. To complete Apple’s overall goal of using renewable energy, the company will need to set milestones to achieve their goal. For Apple to obtain their goal of having all their retail stores, corporate offices, and data centers be 100 percent renewable energy will need the task of Apples own department to handle environmental issues. The main resources that need to be allocated are the resource available for each retail store, corporate office or data center that can be used for renewable energy.
Outsourcing brings proven benefits in the form of economic leveraging, increase in the quality of products and it provides a number of opportunities to less developed countries. For example in recent times, Americans are overwhelmingly supporting the major retail stores like Wal-Mart, Target and K-Mart. The reason behind this consumer loyalty is that it has become much easier to shop at these locations rather than the local mom and pop stores located on the corner of most neighborhoods. The benefit is that you can purchase everything on your shopping list from one location, saving you time, money and gasoline. In a highly competitive business world, on a firm’s priority list is the subject of increasing profit and reducing cost.
The ability to increase sales and stores in America relies on customers’ preference in buying JCP products hence; the strategy is subject to dealing with customers’ satisfaction first before addressing their expansion strategy.

However, this would be hampered by stiff competition from the three major
For this task I have been asked choose a business to analysis how the business has been designed covering the points I have been discussed in P1, P2, P3. The business I have chosen is Amazon.

The school tokens are a good sales promotion because to get this sales promotion you have to buy products from the store to a certain price. This will not just be benefitting Tesco it will be benefitting the school, which you are giving the token, too whether that’s new computers, new sports equipment. These are two good ways to be able to offer customer the best value for money and another marketing objective in working directly with suppliers to make long-term business relationships based on strict quality and price
A monopolistic Competition market has many sellers and provides good substitutes but differentiates their products from other companies. The nature of competition in a monopolistic market focuses on marketing, special features and pricing (Colander, 2010). Kudler Fine Foods has only a few competitors in the market that offers the same products and service to its customers. This market structure has negative and positive effects. A positive effect of Kudler Fine Foods in a monopolistic market structure is that they lead in the market and can increase competition between companies and make massive profits by setting higher prices (Colander, 2010).
Price The price is another valuable tool for promotion as it determines how much customers have to pay for the product. Walkers use the price as a promotional tool by printing it on the packaging, this shows the public that the RRP is what they are selling the product at and it withholds their corporate image of a fair value even if certain retailers decide to increase the price. This will help Walkers achieve both their aim and objective as it will be perceived as first class due to the price and value of the product and also will produce profits due to the mass purchase of the product

Increase Willingness To Pay: With focus on the domestic market, P&G can roll out the Beauty Imaging System (BIS) domestically.
This is a move less risky than corporate owned expansion and will likely produce positive cash flow. Franchised stores will eventually replace whole selling to grocery and convenience stores, a strategy with a negative net present value due to erosion in sales at franchised or company owned stores. Recommendation 1 resolves the problem surrounding high operating leverage in areas with low sales potential. While these markets are profitable, high investments in buildings and equipment provide excess capacity at a high cost. In an attempt to reduce the uncertainty of Krispy Kreme’s stock recommendation 2 suggests that Krispy Kreme make a firm commitment to issue financial statements on a feasible date.
In September 2012, Aldi has announced that they are increasing the price of milk again (Ford, 2012), this has also given Aldi an opportunity to improve its image of an ‘underclass-discounter’ in the UK and Switzerland. By providing higher quality of services through training and development of resources and increasing the prices of products, it does not deter customers from choosing Aldi over their competitors. Report states that consumer are happy and chose Aldi as their preferred choice for supermarket due to its lower cost as well as no compromise to quality (Anon., 2014). Another one of Aldi’s strategy is to start advertising campaigns to
