Sales for calendars, diaries, gifts and books are the stand out success in newsagencies I am connected with this Christmas. Each is showing excellent (double digit) year on year growth. At Forest Hill, this has been achieved without the real-estate and labour cost of an outpost which we had last year. Sometimes I think those of us in shopping centres think that an outpost is essential when smart retailing within the lease line can deliver a better bottom line result.
We are still not discounting – except for Advent Calendars. Boxing Day is when our SALE starts.
At last a posting with which I totally agree. Thanks for the great amount of time and effort you put into this forum. I can know my results thanks to my Tower system. Towers strength is in its great support and anyone who is not technically minded has a solution. Next accolade will be in 2011 if earned
Thanks Warren. I need to thank everyone who stops by here because this place is only as good and useful as readers and participants find it.
Personally, I am grateful to have a forum like this.
Have a good Christmas!
