Upside Down Reverse

Looking back to what I have gone through last year – everything seems like a silly billy isn’t it? I find my work previously with the French is so easy, like a breeze…but with G13 – I am being stretched so thin.

Bicycles – 12”, 16”, 20”. 1 lower-end model which is a price fighter item, 1 mid model, 1 high-end model.

Camping – 2 man, 4 man, 6 man and silver coating tent. Sleeping bag – 100gm, 150gm, 200gm. 1 Coleman cooler box. Single air mattress, Double air mattress.

Sports – go by brands, within the brands; go by pricing: RM9.90, RM19,90, RM29.90.

Nautism – margin generator.

Live Plants & Live Pets – consignment. Chase supplier every Monday on their sales target. If the sales target cannot be acheived, penalties will be imposed. To get more margins, the Front Margin will not apply on the Cost Of Goods Sold but on the point of Sales.

Furniture – focus on the top 10 items, arrange for road shows, develop new color concepts.

Toys – outright toys (go by brands, have branded suppliers to help out), consignment toys.

Luggage – the specifications base is already there. Soft case, hard case, two wheels, four wheels, change colors/designs every quarter.

Stationery - ??? I really have no idea. Focus on the top 10 items? They are the key builders? Leaflet items? Stock visibility? Items that are rank between 11 – 50 in the Top 100 lists to ensure stock availability? Items that are rank from 1 - 20 in the major sub-categories with the highest sales participation to ensure stock consistentcy? No out of stock issue? No missed sales? No missed GPs? Books another area to look into? Stewart said that it will only help on a short term basis. Sigh…??? I am more confused than ever. Main event only left Mini BTS, Back To Campus, Year End BTS? New launching Panel Ad? I do understand that if anything goes wrong, nobody is responsible more than me. Ursula also mentions that The General is giving her the pressure and she is running out of time.
