As a supplier of building and landscaping materials, AAA Timber operates in a highly competitive industry. This was compounded for them when they were completely inundated during the 2011 floods. Suffering a loss of income after the devastating floods plus a general decline in sales prompted owner, David Reiser to seek Acuro’s help. Our first action was to meet with the sales team and listen to the challenges facing the business. We then conducted a review of the business accounting and operating systems to see where things could be improved. The outcome was a new brand and marketing strategy to boost the profile of the business through an updated website, sales brochure and product catalogue. We also set margin and pricing levels to be more competitive on quoting jobs. Operating procedures and staffing levels were also revised to trim costs. For Acuro it’s been rewarding to help a local business get back on track after such a difficult time. For the business it has been a chance to rethink how they operate and to pitch their message more effectively. www.aaatimber.com.au
