To All Our Valued Retailers:
Thank you for your business in 2007. May you have a successful and prosperous year in 2008. Health and happiness to all.
Time and time again, we see our most successful retailers are the ones who greet customers with a smile and genuinely want to help them find the best product for their needs and desires. We preach this constantly, but the message never gets old because it is the one thing that has always and will always be true in our changing industry.
This year, we also want to give you another great tip. Time and time again, we see our most successful retailers are the ones who keep track of their inventory and keep their stock replenished on a regular basis. In the old days, constantly counting inventory was time consuming and thus the smaller retailers struggled to maintain efficient stock levels, which disappointed customers who wanted those items, and cut into revenue potential by losing those opportunities. We are seeing customers adopt new, and cheaper point of sale technology that helps to drastically reduce inventory counting time and provides reports that help run many aspects of the business more efficiently, cost effectively and profitably. Manage cash flow, inventory, and your time better in 2008 with either manual or computer systems that will enable you to have more time giving your customers the attention they need, which has always and will always be the #1 most effective way to succeed in retail.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Julian, Judy & Joan
