The second time around for Art of Knitting part series does not appear to be going as well as expected if the sales data I have seen plays out for the newsagency channel. Our sales have been nowhere near what we expected and not a patch on the sales we achieved when this partwork first hit Australian shores.
Here we go again NEW ART OF KNITTING PARTWORKS .They have history to resuplly on last time issue one I received 8 on Monday I have 34 turning up WTF is going on . Cant wait for the this trial to be over so we get a proper supply lmao
I have 60 coming and I had 1 regular purchaser last time round so mine are going
back as it is impossible to keep the larger
sizes of partworks that are coming into our
stores. Globes, and 3d parts are all far too large for our fittings etc and smaller shops cannot afford the room for 25% stuff.
Ok well its time for me to eat my words and admit I got this one wrong 😉 out of 34 I have 3 left so looks like GG got it right and I would have got it wrong if I had to set my order .
I can only hope it’s not a repeat of Knit and Stitch where we sold 200+ issues 1 and 2 and supply was reduced to 0 by issue 30 despite no returns.
I back order list with GG is already 6 pages long…
I have to eat my words – got 60 and have sold them all – got sent 20 more and have
nearly sold them too.
I admit I had scanned them out for returns and my husband kept opening them so I had to email GG and inform them that my credits were
not applicable and please ensure that they could cancel the “returns”.
Only problem was that they then billed me for 100 instead of 80 but I guess I have to take responsibility for early returning.
However, I will be watching the billing with
interest.
Kudos to Gotch for having another crack at this and to the newsagents who said it would not work in 2015 but have found it working.
Thought they’d sell ok again for us but surprised to have sold out of initial 60 already.
We too received extra 20 today I hope the all sell because they are too big to pay to send back!
