Doing Business With CIMO
Feasibility study
Market Analysis
Due to the wide range of products that CIMO
works with, market analysis is performed constantly to be able to determine
consumer preferences, market requirements, niches that have not been exploited,
ages and tendencies, fashion and its preferences for a specific time of
year. CIMO employs professionals who work directly with the corporation
and in other cases, has external consultants that probe market analysis
which CIMO periodically executes.
CIMO has developed an extensive
training program for its sales personnel. It consists in training at a
technical and managerial level. At the technical level, training is geared
towards technology, product specialization, customer service, moral and
personal appearance, an aspect that is vitally important in a commercial
chain.

The training at managerial level
includes the owners of stores that have a strategic relationship with CIMO.
This program seeks to establish appropriate lines of communication within
the corporation. In this manner CIMO has promoted access to the best information
technology with the intention of strengthening innovation and creativity
in its lower and higher ranks in the fields of inventory and general administration.
Added to this technological support,
CIMO provides its managers with continuous updating of its policies and
commercial strategies in order to adequately coordinate everyday occurrences
as well as emergencies, based upon market tendencies with sufficient anticipation.
CIMO has had the foresight to
introduce, according to its knowledge of the market, its ideas on product
design, taking into account the purchasing power of the consumer without
sacrificing quality. It also suggests designs based on the customers profile
such as ages, habits, or type of activities. In fact, the influence of
consumer taste, in the design of the product, be it simple or complex,
constitutes a determining element for the increase of sales.
Footwear as a complement to dressing
must be adapted to climactic changes, method of transportation of the consumer
and other variables that in general represent the daily activities of the
consumer. A design must also cater primarily to the need of being worn
not only once but several times. Versatility and quality go together requiring
designs of materials that relate to the purchasing power of the individual.
