USA - Notes from Andy Schofield
A strong week this week for many branches with seven beating combined target!
POS for the current Made to Measure sale is now in branches and the first week has been a strong one, beating last years figure by 114%, but short of target by 86%. I am sure that we’ll beat the numbers in week 42, once the word is out about the great 2 suit offer we have on.
Have you called or emailed your customers about the MM sale??
Ready Made’s are heading in the right direction but only managed to hit 85% of target. Now is the time to re-merchandise the department and give it a fresh look. Try some different ranges at the front of the department – change those displays out and see if the store will let you put some displays out in the forecourt (If you haven’t already).
Here's how we did:-
- FORT DIX MCGUIRE - 115% Combined Target Achieved – Welcome back to the top three Nicky! – Must have missed us last week!
- ANDREWS AFB - 114% COMBINED TARGET ACHIEVED – Great job this week Roger and Nathan, you really helped the team with the increased biz!
- FORT LEWIS - 114% COMBINED TARGET ACHIEVED – Well Done Dave!
Honourable mentions also go to:-
FORT CARSON, HENDERSON HALL AND NELLIS AFB – 101% COMBINED TARGET ACHIEVED. Just over the line, those extra add on sales make all the difference. Well done to Paul, Rahim and Allan.
Quantico who as you know are now only trading on 270 Sq. Ft. from 800 previously (Due to the store renovation), also managed to hit 100% of target – Excellent job Mark and Yuko, they are having a hard time just keeping the dust off everything at the moment!
Well done to all of you that managed to beat your target this week. For those of you that didn’t – could that extra shirt and tie sale have made a difference??
Good luck for this week! Andy
