We will want to feel comfortable that the product line chosen will lead to enough profits to make the venture worth both of our efforts. And, if the need arises, to start your store over. Making more than that is up to you. We hope you would want to make more and that you will work to do so. We will support that growth as needed.
All stores cross link with each other to help drive traffic.
We are adding or will need to add within the next two years some rather expensive soft ware to do sales tax, customer tracking, suggestive selling, customer reminders, web site analysis, site promotion, interactive selling, shopping cart tracking, online shipment tracking, order processing, vender interaction, customer recognition and a host of other applications. We will need to, and want to, cross promote between stores in the group and those store's customers to maximize return on the customer data base. We must, in fairness to you, our company, it's people and our other partners, spend our companies resources, time and money where it can produce the best returns. The initiation fee you pay to The Backyard store is not refundable, it is a fee for services rendered to the partnership and to you and is not and investment in The Backyard Store or the Partnership. Each of us will provide our work space, phones, faxes, computers, labor and miscellaneous office supplies without cost to the other partner or to the partnership.
