Start with the 4 P's - These are product, price, place and promotion. If any one of these areas is not properly managed, it can doom a product, even if consumers want what a company is selling. I'd bring in the managers responsible for these and ask for their individual plans. I would expect next steps might focus on holding focus groups to unveil new products or upgrades to gauge customer reception before new release or a re-designed product. Educate potential customers about the benefits of your product by writing expert articles for newspapers, websites and industry magazines. Design promotions and incentives on the company's website or social media platforms that require consumers to answer questions about your benefits, likes, dislikes and suggestions. Test marketing different prices in different markets before you commit to a price change. Test-market different distribution channels to evaluate their impact on total sales, revenues, profit margins, re-sales and gross profits. Don’t commit your entire promotional budget until you’ve tested several communications options and reviewed the results.
Just a start .... and when all else fails sell it off piece by piece, the pieces are usually more valuable than the whole for a product/company that has plateaued and already shown steady declines. :act-up:
