Cleanliness is next to Profitability-ness


WHY?
Because everything in your store can be perfect – stunning interior, beautiful carpeting and fit out, dazzling lighting, engaging sales team – but a single fingerprint will ruin it for someone making a “special” purchase.

It could be partially subconscious but prospective customers don’t want to be reminded that someone else might have worn – and soiled – 'their' ring!
 
HOW?
Keep a Town Talk Microfibre cloth close at hand and always try to be looking at your jewellery stock from the perspective of an excited buyer.

The Story of the Three Balloons


Once upon a time there were three balloons. Mummy balloon, daddy balloon and baby balloon.

They all used to sleep in the same bed, with baby balloon in the middle. One night baby balloon just could not get comfortable. Things were just too squeezy.

So baby balloon leaned over to mummy balloon and let some air out of her. That was better, but still too squeezy.

So it leaned over to daddy balloon and let some air out of him. Again, that was better, but alas, still too squeezy.

So baby balloon let some air out of itself, and that made all the difference. Baby balloon then went on to have a good night’s sleep.

In the morning they all woke up. But daddy balloon was not very happy.

He stared at baby balloon with a very angry look on his face.

“Baby balloon”, he said, “I am, very disappointed with you! Not only have you let me down, but you have let your mother down, and you have let yourself down.”
