Introduction

The present system worked adequately until the current economic recession. The present system must be revised in order to spark an increase in sales, customer recognition, and repeat customers. I propose to introduce an organic t-shirt clothing line into Aldo’s working merchandising mix. I believe that by the introduction of this line, sales will increase as well as the expansion of the customer base. These interviews will allow me to gather inside information about the company’s view on my proposal as well as their recommendations to my proposal.
