Calendars ticking along

frank_cal.JPGCalendars are continuing to sell at the rate of between ten and twenty a day at our newsagencies.  We are fortunate to be achieving a margin of 60% on the discounted price.  Watching customer behaviour, they are now more add-ons to existing purchases rather than destination purchases.  There are some categories in our businesses which we need to quit immediately the season is over and others which will work well beyond what we would think is a reasonable cut-off date.

We have found that by promoting at a specific price point – $5 – we attract more browsers.
