Quick conversation...
Was having this conversation with a friend, and I thought it is pretty interesting, if that targeted guy reads it... =P
Mrs X... says:
i'm curious....
Mrs X... says:
wat 22K promo your coy did?
ME says:
promo at Cxxx Sxxxxxx and Sxxx & Sxxx
Mrs X... says:
den isn't this promo a lost when the sales is only 21K?
ME says:
jus did my maths again
Mrs X... says:
12K only?!!
ME says:
ya, the remaining 10k is normal sale
Mrs X... says:
goodness!
ME says:
I hope someone is reading my header
Mrs X... says:
erm.... haha....
Mrs X... says:
he's the one suggested the promo ar?
ME says:
he's the Sales and Mkting Manager
Mrs X... says:
oh.... hahaha....
Mrs X... says:
so he should know the cost and sales figure right?
ME says:
well, he is informed
Mrs X... says:
or may be he's only concerned about Sales figure...
ME says:
I think he shd have the brains to know sales vs cost :p
Mrs X... says:
hahaha.....
ME says:
I wonder how many more such promo he will do before he wakes up
Mrs X... says:
you mean he have done more promos previously?
ME says:
yup, all loses also
Mrs X... says:
i think can do promos lah... but have to take note of the cost lor...
Mrs X... says:
frankly speaking lah....
Mrs X... says:
1 bottle of sesame oil take quite some time to use up.....
Mrs X... says:
even if i see go promo and yet at home still got half a bottle... i aso won buy one lor...
Mrs X... says:
my honest opinion lah... wat do you think?
ME says:
as a finance guy, I say dun need do such kind of promo, cost-ineffective
ME says:
and we're established brand, if customers use our brand, then they'll stick to it, not as if we can attract new customers just by a 30cents/bot discount
Mrs X... says:
it's true lor...
......(continues)
And to add, even my previous Sales Manager who is particularly weak in finance knows not to do promo with this group of supermarkets.
