4.6 POSITIONING
Prime Footwear will position itself as the prime outlet for women’s stilettos, providing
Greenheights Subdivision of Marikina City with the largest selection, competing with some known
local shoe stores in Marikina. Prime Footwear will try their very best to achieve this desired
position.
selection will be achieved in many ways. The first is to put effort and carry as many styles of
stilettos as possible. Prime Footwear recognizes that Concepcion Uno does not have a shoe
store wherein you can customize your own shoes and a store that only offers formal shoes for
women only. The competitive edge is the recognition of this unserved niche and the serving of
this demand.
29
Prime Footwear will be able to offer a large selection by using a unique inventory model that
stocks a large number of styles, and also a lot of materials to be displayed while the customers
This model is effective because women buy shoes based on their own style. The way the
shoes will fit the customers as well as their expected designs will brought passion to the Prime
Footwear’s workers. For this women can express themselves according to their own style.
4.7 STRATEGIES
Prime Footwear’s marketing strategy will seek to create customer awareness regarding the
products that is offers, develop the customer base, and work to gain customers loyalty and
referrals.
The Prime Footwear will offer a large collection of stilettos as well as the right of every
customer to customize the product, and we want the customers to know that right. Women no
longer need to travel to far places to obtain the shoes they want. The first method that Prime
Footwear will use to communicate is the location. Prime Footwear has chosen a well-populated
place that many cars and customers go through. This generates large amounts of visibility for
Prime Footwear.
Another method of communication is advertisements using posters and social media. The
advertisements will be placed in different places with the location of the shop and some
information.
The last method of communication will be through developing relationship with one of the
upscale women's clothes stores in Marikina. The two stores will be co-branding their products as
clothes and shoes are intuitively linked. The alliances will include discounts when both shoes and
clothing are purchased as well as display some of each company's products at the other
store. These activities are all designed to develop visibility on behalf of the marketing plan.

4.8 MARKETING MIX
Pricing: Prime Footwear’s pricing is designed to be competitive and based on its materials
Distribution: All shoes will be distributed inside Prime Footwear’s store. While this will
necessitate a second trip for the customer to come and pick up the shoes, it allows Prime
Advertising and Promotion: Location, targeted advertising using posters, social media, and
strategic alliances will serve as the foundation of Prime Footwear’s advertising and promotion
effort.
During the initial phases of the marketing plan development, several groups were carried out
to gain insight into the most customer and some of their decision-making processes they relate to
shoe purchases. The information collected from the groups has been extremely helpful to Prime
An additional source of market research is a comprehensive survey that has been distributed to
