As Alyson takes on the responsibility of setting up the distribution channel and analyzing the consumer for Tubbs's new snowshoes for dogs, she should start by asking herself some key questions to guide her efforts:
a. What is it that we are selling to the consumer? Understanding the unique features, benefits, and value proposition of the snowshoes for dogs is crucial. This question will help Alyson articulate the product's core attributes and differentiate it in the market.
b. Who are our ultimate buyers and users? Identifying the target audience is essential. Alyson needs to define the primary consumers who will purchase the snowshoes for their dogs and the end-users, which are the dogs themselves. This involves considering demographics, psychographics, and understanding the needs of both the pet owners and their furry companions.
c. To whom can we sell this merchandise immediately? Identifying potential early adopters or immediate markets is a practical step. Alyson should assess existing channels, retailers, and partners who might be interested in carrying the product. This question helps prioritize initial sales efforts and establishes a foundation for the distribution strategy.
By addressing these questions, Alyson can lay the groundwork for a targeted and effective distribution plan while gaining insights into the consumer landscape for Tubbs's innovative snowshoes for dogs.
