way of controlling the number of customers that frequent The Diva. What is controllable is
how the sales staff treats the customer once they walk through the door.
Aggressive inside sales and knowledgeable interaction is critical to keeping the customer
loyal to The Diva.
As a secondary distribution approach, vendor catalogs and free samples are available to the
consumer for information and to test the products with the retailers and provide door-to-door
distribution.
