OTHER EFFORTS FROM OTHER GROUP MEMBERS THAT WILL BENEFIT BELLA FOUR BRANDS FOR MEDIA, PR, DISTRIBUTION AND MORE…
1.) On line ‘One Stop Shop’ Sourcing Websites: We are a developer and/or marketing partner for a series of current and future ‘one stop’ ordering platform websites . These sites concentrate on helping managers consolidate their retail ordering needs. Basically, a general manager of a service type of business does not even have the time to manage their everyday needs but to add retail buying on top of it becomes almost impossible. Examples of these are general managers for hotels, campgrounds, tanning salons, fitness centers, ice rinks and more.
The Retail Channels we cover are extensive for each group. For example, in the
www.SportsRetailGroup.com version we are involved with these:
Current live examples are S’more Store (www.SmoreStore.com) for campgrounds, Tradavo (www.Tradavo.com) and Hotel Retail Group (www.HotelRetailGroup.com) for hotels and our newest one for community theatres, Musical Concessions (www.MusicalConcessions.com).
***The retail space consulting arm is Secondary Focus (www.SecondaryFocus.com) which helps with the creation of retail space, floor plans and product sourcing.
