USA - Notes from Andy Schofield
Traditionally, a scary day filled with horror and superstitions about bad things happening – That’s Friday 13th! It’s also a little known fact however, that good things also happen on Friday 13th… I’m sure you’ve all heard of “Unlucky for some”?? – Well, today is your lucky day! It’s the start of the busiest season AND the start of our Ready Made Thanksgiving sale.
20% OFF EVERYTHING!
You should all have already started the following...
- Sale Tickets on EVERYTHING!
- Posters up around the dept and at the store front
- Marked everything down – either through your computer room or manually
- Called / Emailed your customers
- Best prices to the front of your department
It’s great to see most of the branches in the “Top ten” list on Oasis (7 actually!) are all in the USA… that’s a great start to this week and bodes well for us hitting target this week.
Last week was a struggle, and we all know why… that customers are waiting for the holiday sales. Well, it’s here now so let’s get the posters up, get the word out and get the sales on!! There’s nothing to hold us back now. Cooler weather, great prices and plenty of stock (New and old) on your racks or on it’s way to you.
Where else can you get TOPCOATS at 20% off – and they’ve only just been delivered? Be sure to push this fact to your customers, new and old… it’s a great sales line.
