About
The Cadet Kit Store is a new venture created in 2023, aimed at the cadet forces with a focus on affordability which requires careful consideration of various factors to ensure it remains cost-effective while providing value to customers. Here are some strategies we used to achieve this:
-
Supplier Negotiations: Work closely with suppliers to negotiate bulk discounts or favourable terms for purchasing in large quantities. This can help lower the cost of goods sold, allowing us to offer competitive prices to our customers.
-
Simple Store Design: The store design simple and functional to minimise overhead costs which avoid the rise in prices handed to the consumer.
-
Online Presence: The Cadet Kit Store is an online store which does not have a physical storefront. This helps us reach a wider audience and reduce the costs associated with maintaining a brick-and-mortar location.
-
Targeted Marketing: Our focus and marketing efforts are based on reaching cadets and their units/squadrons through channels they frequent, such as social media, school newsletters, and community events.
-
Customer Feedback: Feedback from cadets, their families and their units is of most importance to us. The feedback is used to change, correct, or update information on our site to maintain a more positive buying experience for our customers.
-
Continuous Improvement: We continuously evaluate and adjust our business model to adapt to changing market conditions and customer preferences. We stay informed about developments in the cadet forces community and are proactive in responding to emerging trends.
By implementing these strategies, we can create a cost-effective shop aimed at the cadet forces that provides affordable products without compromising on quality or service.
