You have just been hired by a waning retail brand, ABC & 123 Toys, Inc. to assist in rejuvenating and restoring the lackluster sales that have plagued the firm. Develop a retail strategy that focuses on all the items you’d address to help boost sales. Conduct a situation analysis. What are the areas of opportunities for the retailer and what threatens to adversely impact it. Using the 4Ps as a guide, make sure to address the following:

• What product or services changes will you implement? Discuss product innovation or customer service enhancement.
• Define the pricing strategy and notate new pricing objectives and price adjustments.
• Detail current retail distribution (i.e., exclusively online, brick and mortar location, etc.) and discuss a refined distribution strategy.
• Include examples of new advertising and promotional sale campaigns that will bolster profits; which primary consumer groups will these ads reach? Develop a brief social media campaign which these ads will appear.

Your assessment must adhere to the following expectations:

• Be 8-10 pages in length, not including the title or reference pages;
• Integrate concepts, terms, and theories from the readings and module content;
• Include at least five academic references to support your work, including one peer-reviewed article preferably from the CSU-Global library; and
• Follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
