    Pyramid Door Formal Case Final Draft

    As a privately owned regional manufacturer of residential and commercial steel garage doors, Pyramid Doors has managed to grow a distribution network in the Western and Southwestern United States of 350 distributors broken up into 300 non-exclusive dealers and 50 exclusive dealers. This strategy has allowed Pyramid Door to capture a market share of 2.6% with total sales in 2005 of $9.2 million. While executives agree that a growth in sales of 36% to $12.5 million is necessary to achieve critical mass to preserve its buying position with suppliers, opinions are split on the correct method to achieve this goal. An increase in the marketing budget of 20% over 2005’s budget has already been approved, but four alternative scenarios about how to handle the distributor base have been brought up by various executives. While some executives favored dramatically increasing the overall number of dealers, others suggested the opposite, cutting the overall number of non-exclusive, poorer performing dealers. Still other executives suggested a more targeted approach, leaning on more exclusive dealers at the expense of fewer non-exclusive dealers, while a final group suggested maintaining the status quo of dealers and letting the new marketing strategy carry them to the required number of sales. To determine the best strategy moving forward, we have put together a proposal outlining the pros and cons of each strategy, backed up with qualitative and quantitative data to back up our conclusions.…

    Stihl Case Study

    The decision to avoid the home-center channel was an appropriate decision for Stihl Incorporated (Stihl). Stihl’s product line consists of a high quality line of outdoor power equipment: chain saws, edgers, string trimmers, brush cutters, blowers, vacuums, mulchers, and sprayers. In order to differentiate Stihl’s high quality products from its competitors (satisfying buyer requirements), the selected intermediary or channel representative needed to provide the appropriate education on proper product operation, maintenance, and overall performance compared to competitive brands (information). As a quality orientated manufacturer, Stihl requires that it’s products be sold with the appropriate buying support, and after sales support. A customer that purchases a Stihl product from a retailer should be able to have that product maintained, serviced, and repaired by that retailer (channel representative). By sticking with independently owned specialty dealers and hardware stores, Stihl was able to fulfill it’s own requirements to assure buyer satisfaction.…
