STRATEGIES

 

Market Penetration: We should apply a massive marketing plan in which all the people can get to know our business and all our services. Taking into account being new at the industry is the main reason of not being competitive at the beginning.

 

Market development: We will apply this strategy, in order to expand our services in more geographic areas in Bogotá, so we can give more options to all our customers and this could be a competitive factor against all our competitors.

 

Product development:  We will be constantly improving our products and services, with the of the years we will introduce new combos and new services, so we can compete and also have all the services the customer may want for their cars, even new ones, so we can add value in our business.
