Proposed Promotion/Advertising Plan Overall Promotion Objectives and Strategy Objectives Promotion objectives are to maintain the existing level of promotional activity and create a budget for Ruehs to use in the next year to capitalize on promotional activities that are currently not used. Sherry currently wants to use 5% of sales, but actually uses the "what we think we can afford"� method. They spent $2,200 on promotion last year, but we find it hard to believe that that is even close to 5% of their sales. Their projected sales are $800,000 for next year, making 5% of that $40,000. Unfortunately, they will not disclose any actual financial data to our group because they feel uncomfortable with giving it to anybody outside the store.

Strategy Our plan on implementing this is to research the surrounding area on what promotional tools are available in the area. Then, once we find the most suitable vehicles to service their customers, we will research the cost each vehicle.

Secondly, our plan will increase the sales volume that Ruehs will see next year due to the increase in traffic.
