Pricing Strategy
Our team will create the highest return-on-investment model maximising competitiveness in market and profitability. We will negotiate costs, margins and marketing investment with distributors and/or customers in order to maximise return on investment.
Distribution Strategy
The Middle East region boasts significant opportunity, but is structured poorly. Implementing generic distribution strategies may result in the brand failing before it has begun. Despite being geographically close, different countries within the Middle East have unique challenges, which could pose a threat to your success, depending on how your distribution strategy is structured.
Marketing Strategy
Southern Cross has a proven track record of taking brands new to market to becoming market leaders. We work closely with our clients in order to become an extension of company in the Middle East.
