Abstract
The young entrepreneurs of Granny's Goodies, Inc., a corporate gift package specialist, face the challenge of finding ways to create consistent revenue streams and reduce sales costs. Outside of a few long-term contracts, the two founders have had to work very hard for each sale. Using extensive customer information that the firm has diligently collected over the previous two years, students need to develop a plan that covers market selection, product policy, and relationship management strategy for the firm.
