Week 02

What a strange week the weather bringing lot’s of snow to Germany which slowed footfall in the stores but did not stop you getting the customers beating this week’s target and also last year well done.

Combined sales were 123% of target and 126% of last year.

MM was 174% of target and 185% of last year.

RM 116% of target and 117% of last year.

Made to Measure

Once again we smashed both target and last year, the suit for a price looks to be the sale the customers want. All the hard work of notifying the customers looks to be paying off.

Ready Made

Valentines Day helped with the sales of accessories
We sold an amazing Ties 409 Cuff links 113 FANTASTIC. We only have 3 black topcoats and 5 Grey topcoats left on the area. Let’s work on the tweeds still plenty of them around Black H/Bone 17 Grey H/Bone 90

At $130 A "BARGAIN"

A word of warning: FASCHING

Yes it is that time of the year again.
Week 3 Thursday 19th Feb is “CRAP TIE DAY”. The day the women in Germany go wild and go around cutting off men’s ties “SYMBOLIC ACTION” And even wilder in the evening so I am told. Make sure if you do wear a tie Thursday it is an old one.
