Christmas is not long past, but I saw Easter eggs in my
local supermarket before Christmas! I think that is a bit
crazy, but I guess they sell, otherwise they would not do it.
So why not get in on the action?
Easter is not far away and you need to start planning now.
But what to do? We will look at a couple of ideas that you
might try this Easter, to boost your sales or improve
customer relationships.
A tried and tested method is to have an Easter sale.
An oldie but a goodie. Now is the time to go through you
figures and find out what sells and what does not. Maybe you
could use Easter to give your second or third best selling
item a little push. How about that old stock that you have
been hanging on to for too long? Here is an opportunity to
give a good discount and watch it walk out the door.
Remember to look closely at your margins for each product.
An 'across the store' 20% discount may just make your margin
very slim on certain products! You could have an 'up to 50%'
sale, where most products only have a 10-20% discount. You
can take 50% off those things that just will not sell
otherwise. Get rid of them and get product on the shelves
that will sell.
Something else could be a free giveaway with each purchase.
It can be a simple as giving everyone a small Easter egg.
The parents will love you, because it keeps the kids happy.
Maybe you have some old stock that you could give away? It
does not have to be expensive. It is the thought that counts.
How about a special gift for special clients?
If your business is one that has a small amount of customers
that buy large amounts from you, you need to look after
them. Make this Easter one they will remember you for. How far
you go is dependent on how much this client could be worth
to you during your business life. Wine, fine chocolates, a
free dinner at a nice restaurant, a massage, you know them,
so think hard about what they would like.
It could be time to create an event.
Can you make an event out of your business. A fashion
parade, a local band, a local comedian, an author, sporting
personality, a character meet & greet. What can you do?
Other things to consider.
How about posters. If you are having a sale, let everyone know about
it. You want enough to cover your shop front and have plenty for in store decorations.
Have some advertisements. Your local papers offer a direct route to your local customers. Two weeks of advertisements prior to
the sale should help get the interest up.
Get some flyers. Get the local kids earning some money delivering
flyers to households.
Local paper editorial. The same papers may be interested in your story,
but you have to have an angle. Everyone has a sale. What
will make yours different? Do you have a limited product?
Are you giving away something with each purchase? Will your
staff sing a song on the hour? Use your imagination.
Your sale could have a limited time. Make sure you let everyone know that this sale
is for the Easter holidays only. You could even limit it to
one day. Limiting the time, makes it seem more attractive.
Time to run a competition? Can you run a competition with your sale? How
about getting customers to fill in a form to enter? That way
you also get their mail and email addresses which allows you
to market directly with the people who buy from you.
How about a group offer? Can you offer products or services to groups?
Get large local businesses to buy a lot and give them a
great discount.
Look at your web site. Do you have a web site? Can you run your sale
online at the same time? Someone on the other side of the
world may be just as interested in your sale.
A children's character. Do you get a lot of children in your shop? Why
not have an Easter Bunny pay a visit? You could run a meet
and greet at certain times. If the kids know about it,
they will want to be there.
Have a look at the checklist.
Buy in extra stock, or sort out what you have and make a
list of sale items.
Organise printing (posters, flyers, competition forms, etc)
Flyers need to go out in the week before the sale.
Get your local papers press happening early. Remember they
work ahead a few weeks at least.
Organise extra staff for the sale.
Train your staff for the sale. They have to work hard and
fast.
Dress your shop. Make it bright, fun, colourful. Stack sale
items so they look plentiful. Make sure you have happy music
playing as well.
Small gifts for customers or special gifts for clients. Get
the ball rolling.
Using Easter as a selling device is not new, but it does
work. Why not investigate what you can do to get those sales
figures up for the Easter period?

Old Deseret Live Stock Company $32 In the high country of the northern Wasatch Mountains, lies what is left of one of the West’s largest ranches. Deseret Live Stock Company was reputed at various times to be the largest private landholder in Utah and the single biggest producer of wool in the world. The ranch began as a sheep operation, but as it found success, it also ran cattle. Incorporated in the 1890s by a number of northern Utah ranchers who pooled their resources, the company was at the height of successful operations in the mid-twentieth century when a young Dean Frischknecht, bearing a recent degree in animal science, landed the job of sheep foreman. In his memoir he recounts in detail how Deseret managed huge herds of livestock, vast lands, and rich wildlife and recalls through lively anecdotes how stockmen and their families lived and worked in the Wasatch Mountains and Skull Valley’s desert wintering grounds. |

Dynamics of Global Stock Market $138.61 With the financial crisis of 200708, the old issue of financegrowth nexus is resurrected. The crisis has revealed once again how a structurally flawed global financial system under the New Financial Architecture might prove to be dangerous for the rest of the economy. At this crucial juncture, thus, inquiries about the functioning of the global financial markets are likely to be invoked. This book while exploring this issue concentrates on the global stock market. Specifically, it is a study into the global market dynamics, their intrinsic natures, common trends and their dynamic interlinkages during the stock market crisis of 2007 2008 and the recent recovery period that has started from March 2009. It inquires whether and how the dynamics and interlinkages of a market change as it moves closer to a peak, falls from it and recovers. Finally it seeks to explore how the intrinsic nature of the stock market could be described? Is it really an order disguised as disorder?
