Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Inc's Comment on Sales, Marketing and Customers
We rely primarily on in-store promotion and point-of-purchase materials to promote
the sale of our products. The monthly marketing fees collected from franchisees
are used by us to develop new packaging and in-store promotion and point-of-purchase
materials, and to create and update our local store marketing handbooks.
We focus on local store marketing efforts by providing customizable marketing
materials, including advertisements, coupons, flyers and mail order catalogs generated
by our in-house Creative Services department. The department works directly with
franchisees to implement local store marketing programs.
We have not historically, and do not intend to, engage in national traditional
media advertising in the near future. Consistent with our commitment to community
support, we aggressively seek opportunities to participate in local and regional
events, sponsorships and charitable causes. This support leverages low cost, high
return publicity opportunities for mutual gain partnerships. Through programs
such as Fudge for Troops, and collaborations with Sylvan Learning Centers and
other national/local organizations focused on youth/leadership development and
underserved populations in our community we have developed relationships that
define our principal platforms, and contribute to charitable causes that provide
great benefits at a national level.
