Promotional tactics have to be up to date and fresh strategies with a time line defined.
Promoting products by means newly available platforms like on Facebook, YouTube, twitter and other websites.
Introducing new promotional offers like providing referral bonus for existing customers, which will increase both market share and also customer base.
The other tactic is to promote the products which we get higher profits on the home page of the website.

Distribution is chain of activity from the product seller to end customer. The overall product cost has a major portion of distribution costs. Reducing these costs will definitely improve profit margins for all of the entities.
We are planning for strategy to implement business to customer and business to business , establishing a network between these would improve communication and help in reducing the costs for distribution

BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS
Break Even:
When cost of producing a product is equal to sales achieved it’s a break even. Any sales a head of breakeven are profits.
Break-Even Point:
Number of sales needed to achieve break even is called as breakeven point.
Calculating Break Even:
Here,
Fixed cost is the sum of all costs required in producing a unit/product
Average Price is the final selling price of unit/product.
Variable Cost is the costs incurred with additional expenditure involved for enhancing quantity or quality of production
BREAK EVEN POINT AND CHARTS FOR AMAZ-IN
As we are referring to ecommerce a single unit is referred to a single transaction.
Considering the proposed marketing plan the costs or expenses incurred to implement is $8000 approx. which is higher than the present expenses, which is around $1 per transaction so the selling price here $4 approx. for each transaction.
So considering
Fixed Costs = $8,000
Variable Cost Per transaction = $1
Selling Price Per transaction= $4
2667
So the break even point would be 2667 transactions.
