A lot better than week 5 with a good mixture of MM and RM this week with figures very nearly the same as last year and in the case of MM beating last years numbers. With an increase in footfall over last week being reported. The radio advertisement has been getting a positive feed back from most managers.

Outstanding Performances

Week 06

Dave Cox in Chievres came in 239% of last year on ready made and 452% on Made to measure sales. Not only that but Dave made his visit to the small local NATO base and came back with $2626 in MM sales. This brought him to over $4000 in MM for the week.

Vince Blackett in Stuttgart turning in an even more stunning performance than last week came in on ready made 256% of last year that is $10,005. Vince yet again set his sights high and wanted to be top branch this week and is once again hard on the heels of KMCC.

Paul Kerslake in Grafenwoehr 203% on ready made with over $6000 0n RM’s and $555 on MM well done Paul.

Rob Miller in Mannheim with a fantastic week on RM coming in 140% against last year. The new position is a little smaller but getting more attention when the customers are in the store.

Geoff Heath covering for Geoff Berry and Leigh Poulton in Wiesbaden despite the turnover of troops coming in with a very good week on both MM $2215 last year was a duck and $5020 which is 112% of last year.

Week 07

A disastrous week on RM this week but a decent week on MM

Made to measure 88% of Target and 93% of Last year
Ready made 72% of target and 74% of Last year
Combined 79% of target and Last year 81%

Dave Cox in Chievres came in 200% of last year on ready made and 191% of target and once again having a good week in the part time branch GB Shape with $1851 in RM sales. The new position seems to be helping.

Geoff Berry and Leigh Poulton in Wiesbaden having another good MM week $2670 which is 242% of target and 431% of last year.

Vince Blackett in Stuttgart having a MM week this week with $2270 which is 156% of target

50% OFF – MARCH MADNESS!! 50% OFF – MARCH MADNESS!!

The Made to Measure sale

I know I am starting to sound like a broken record but we really need to push this sale if this dies a death will be playing catch up the rest of the year.

With the radio ad being played not only in the PX/BX but around all aafes facilities it really should bring them in.

Use the intercom Alan and Paul do and it works wonders for them

I hope the customers get the message.

It looks like the customers are getting the message well done keep it going

Computer problems

Trevor and the crew in KMCC have had a problem with their computer it went south and had to be sent west (Leeds) to be repaired.

In the meantime I have installed the old Ktown computer. They are not running at 100% and with the help of IT they should be getting e-mail the other problem is it is frustrating trying to print due to the set up.

So if you call and they seem a little bit more stressed as usual this could be the reason.

Vince in Stuttgart has also had problems with his computer so if you have sent an e-mail and had no reply it is due to him not having this option or a computer.

Hopefully this will be rectified soon.

Suit Voucher

A few of you have been inquiring about the Spring/Summer suit voucher.

I have been informed by Ben Lucas that there has been a delay in issuing them to retail which includes us.

When Ben gets back from the conference tour he will look into it and will have them issued A.S.A.P.
