1. Set a location marketing KPIs

By now you have read tons of online articles about how to start a provision store business but how has that help you much?

In this case, let me correlate a simple visual term of how a provision store business plan should look like.

A provision store business plan in Nigeria should be repeatable, scalable, dynamic, and should echo the voice of the business goal to the prospects.

So, what's your provision store business plan teaching and reminding the audience?

By now if you're ready to start a provision business and don't really know about what's next.

Then it's time I think you have to reason above how you have ever been reasoning before now.

Targeting a location is good but when there's no conversion it's suck.

I mean when you have an audience who really doesn't convert for what you do makes it suck.

So, in this case, how are you going to rise above your folds?

When you're going into a business like this what sells is the location and your unique selling proposition.

For example, if you're one of the young ladies below the age of 30 years then a provision store business might not be your thing.

Young ladies hardly convert for such a business internship.

I mean it's hard seeing a young lady joining the fold of mamas.

Nearly 90% of people that invest in a provision store business are over 30 years.

They're attached with a string of market behavior given themselves a brand name as the one of:

• Mama Milo
• Sister yellow
• Mama Maggi
• Mama Oyinbo and many more.

But does that show a higher percentage are illiterate?

Well, there's a point in the question above as 80% of them are but just that their passion and idea really drive them to start one.

Yet, their businesses are doing well.

But here's the epic thing to know and that's what sells in a business venture like the one of a provision store business.

First, your location.

So, what does the location initiative means to you?

Before now you should know why that it's so important for provision enablement.

Your provision store  + shop location = customer acquisition.

Then should we have to say the exposure and visibility matters?

Of course, it's so important for sales enablement but performs great when you resonate with your marketing KPIs.

For this reason, let's set a marketing KPIs for your location.

This way, let's do some maths even though I do get suck at that.

I mean anything calculation isn't my thing as you but it's needed this time.

Because it's a must-have strategy.

So, let's dive in.

If you're in need of help to know how many customers needed to hit a provision store location revenue goal.

First, set your average sales per customer.

For example, if you're willing to generate #1,000,000 in new revenue.

That way, determine how much an average customer spends with your provision store business.

That's the average sales price.

For instance, if your customer average sales price is #10,000.

Mathematically, it means you have to divide your revenue objective by the customer's average sales price.

That's, #1000,000 ÷ #10,000 = 100 new customers needed to reach your provision store business revenue.

And that will be your business KPIs.

2. Have a unique selling proposition

What makes you different from your competitors is the unique selling point you got.

And here's what research stated.

The most popular colors all-around were blue and red, with black and white as the most used secondary accent colors.

Brown, purple, and pink are all uncommon choices. These colors are considered to be niche, as in certain demographics loves them but all other demographics hate them which makes it not a good fit for a retail or wholesale store according to 99designs.

This shows why your unique color contrast and element can outperform your provision store business into the stage where there's no choice than for everyone to convert.

A color logo is like a small seed that no one cares about because of its littleness.

But when ripe it becomes a great tree or herb.

That's how powerful a color contrast means to your provision store business.

It helps send signals to your prospects and when added with a mission statement then it teaches something valuable out to your prospects.

So, what's this mission statement all about?

A mission statement is a short snippet that speaks out the desires behind your business concept.

For instance, as for Nike, here's their mission statement.

......if you have a body, you're an athlete.

Here's the point.

A mission statement helps to bring customer desires into what you do and why you're doing it.

It brings human connection, feelings, and form a lasting association between you and your customers.

For instance, in the case of a food business mission statement.

However, it can resonate this way, our food, your food.

Better still, if you have teeth, you can eat.

It shows there's a connection to who's seeing it and it's pinching out something to whoever engages with your provision store business.

So, tell me, what's your provision store mission statement teaching out?

Do you have any already?

If not, try as much to hack on one and keep it consistent.

3 Scale-out your target audience

To be as successful as a provision store retailer or wholesaler you'll have to build context in the dynamic of what you do.

The context here is your target audience who's a good fit for your provision store business.

In this kind of model, it's hard calculating your customer profitability score.

But that can be as easy to memorize, you can still manually know that without anyone telling you.

But, here's the thing.

Running a wholesale provision business is a daily necessity and needs.

The consumption graph is pretty much high because of the demand rate of the consumers.

So that means pretty much every demographic is likely to get hooked in for a purchase decision.

As it is for everyone, does that mean it is for your provision store business?

Let's reason that together.

For a business like this, it's best you segment your customers based on how they have interacted with your business so far.

Scale-out who's a loyal customer, who buy more from your provision store, average customer spend, and average customer profitability.

This way, segmenting them based on different interests and behavior will aid you in proper planning and lead nurturing.

Don't ever make a mistake of segmenting your prospects in terms of age.

I don't think that's really advisable because your kind of business model attracts every demographics.

But it's so unique you segment them based on their interests, needs, and behaviors.

4 Invest in Google my Business

Wait a moment.

Do you know the Internet-connect everyone together?

That really shows there're a lot of opportunities on the internet for your provision store business to generate leads intent.

So, why is your provision store business losing out on this?

Now, it's time to think out of the box and improve your conversion overnight.

What if I told you that 40% of Nigerians trust a business online than in the physical store.

Do you know that roughly around 60% of Nigerians are becoming lazy to feed their legs to a nearby physical merchant?

This is the reason why you need a good provision store plan to stand out.

You need to shuffle out a SWOT Analysis and there's also a reason why you shouldn't depend so much on your strengths.

Rather on your weakness, threats, and opportunities.

The COVID-19 is your threats but what have you done to the opportunities to generate more in sales?

That's a big question.

...Google my business is the thing and it's free.

Your nearest prospects are surfing for keywords about your products but they ain't getting any.

Why can't you be the first to salvage this unique opportunity and grow your business sales overnight?

All is needed is to showcase the working hours, location, and a brief description of why you're doing what you're doing.

I called it NAP citation - Name, Address, and Phone number.

So whenever someone searches for a product related to your business and in the same location you provided.

There's a higher chance that 90% of these consumers will likely convert for your offer.

5. Market your provision store out

There's a power in social media marketing as well as it's free just an internet connection is enough.

This so-called social media marketing can help echo the voice of your provision store business without having to manually do them.

With free marketing software tools like Tweetdeck, sprout social, and social mention.

That said, using relevant hashtags can boost the organic reach of your business.

And not necessarily you need a website you can replace that with your business phone number or WhatsApp number in the profile section.

Just make sure you're really staying consistent with social listening, mentions, and many more.

In order to discover new benchmarks and opportunities.
