Curteis Starts Blogging!

I was browsing some UK jewellery chat rooms last week, and came across people chatting about US!!!

It was quite well informed as chat goes, with some commenters standing up for us against the critics. Critics?! Why would we have critics?

Some people look at our website where we show the recommended retail price of our products, as the public can browse the site, and do so. Some trade browsers didn't notice they were RRPs. They were going around thinking and saying in chat that our prices were outrageous!!!

What's a man to do? Fortunately, a signed up customer in the chat was able to point out that once you're signed on as a bona fide customer, the prices are in fact very good.

Should we show RRP's on the website? Yes or No?

 

November Surprises

October Assay Figures were bad enough to make any jewellery manufacturer consider taking up a new career. I could go out and sell solar panels, I thought, or mow grass.

On a second glance, the October 40% national decline in gold items and, 44% decline in silver was so big, I had different thoughts.

Basically no one will have any stock. Aha! Here's my opportunity!

At Curteis, we have all the stock information and prices online, ready to ship. The information is entirely reliable, and accurate.

We stand by it. Retailers don't need to order stock ahead of time.

They can feed hand to mouth, without the need to take risks on holding deep stock themselves, and respond instantly to customers' requirements.

Sure enough, November is flying, with sales staff almost in shock as the quantities rebound. We expect to make up for the October drop by the time trade goes quiet on Christmas Eve. Yes, the reindeers will be exhausted, but Santa Curteis will still have a warm smile on his face, and so will his throng of happy customers. At least, that's the plan!
