USA - Notes from Andy Schofield
A vast improvement last week ladies & gentlemen, the many promotions we had on offer for Father’s Day really helped us on Ready Made and ultimately, we beat target and last year’s numbers…. Well done!
Ready Made saved the day for us as customers took advantage of the reductions and give-a-ways. The increase in sales helped off-set the deductions as planned.
Closing the week 140% up on target and 150% up on last year this was an excellent result and helped carry made to measure.
Made to Measure didn’t do as well, probably due to such good reductions on RM’s. Hopefully this will pick up this week as we come to the end of the $750 promotion. We closed the week 39% of target and 40% of last year… I know we can and will make this up this week…. Right guys?!
Overall we came out ahead of target with 104% of target and 118% over last year with total sales over $58,000. Well done everyone – if we can keep this momentum going we’ll be looking good by the half way mark, in five weeks (Can you believe we are already coming up on 26 weeks?!)
TOP SALES
Some impressive numbers – several branches exceeded target last week:
- Buckley AFB – Allan – 207% A happy surprise to see this branch hitting some positive numbers Allan. A good result and one we hope continues – Well done!
- Nellis AFB – Trevor – 201% Great Job! Trevor is here again... He’s hit target for the last 5 weeks and has really turned the branch around.
- Fort Lewis – Dave – 138% Nice one Dave! Even though Seattle is seeing the largest troop movements in the US, Dave managed to get his branch in the top three.
- Langley AFB – Dave – 136% Another Dave in the top spot this week! Dave (Nicholls) has managed to keep Langley in the spot light and is currently running at 170% above target! – Dave’s “bringing ‘em back alive!”
There were a couple of other branches that exceeded target last week also: Fort Myer (Nathan), Fort Sam (Jeff) and McChord (Drew) – Well done gentlemen.

JUST FOR FUN!
OK, I just want to be clear... this is Richard’s Joke – Not mine
“A sharply dressed man in a suit walks into a bar. There is no one else in the bar but the barman and he orders a drink from him.
As he is sipping his “Scotch” he hears a voice say, “That is a very sharp suit you’re wearing, sir” but the man can’t tell where the voice is coming from.
After a couple more sips of his “Scotch” he hears the same voice say “That’s a very nice shirt and tie combination you have on, sir”. The man can’t figure out where the voice is coming from and tells the barman what has happened.
“Oh, that’s an easy one, sir. You see, it was the nuts which spoke to you. THEY’RE COMPLIMENTARY”.
