We missed the RM target by $9300 it was close and a good try and it took a lot of effort to get that close with the footfall being so low through the week. Thank goodness you were all up for it Saturday when the customers were in the store. MM another great week especially considering it is beyond Christmas delivery.

THANKSGIVING SALE

We have a lot of good prices to offer the customers at the moment. An example is the ties “Make a great gift idea” and at regular price $20 and the section of $10 ties for going for $8 we are giving them away.

We sold on the area 216 ties week 42 let us see what we can sell in the next two weeks.

THANKSGIVING DAY

This Thursday is as everyone knows is Thanksgiving Day.

Enjoy the day off and be ready to go Friday which will be a long and hopefully a successful day.

Black Friday is the day a lot of traders make up the year’s figures and turn their books from red ink to black.

With this in mind one word to you all “BOUNUS” this is the time you can turn your fortunes around.

It is in your hands you have the reductions, the price, the stock and now the customers.
