We have enjoyed good trading over the last three days seeing excellent sales for items we sourced to pitch as part of our port Christmas sales offer. Several other newsagents I have spoken with have said they are experiencing excellent sales as well.
As I mentioned a few days ago, to make the most of these opportunities we sourced product especially and offered valued discounts. Plus we promoted the sale outside the business.
It is at major sale times like this that being in a shopping centre helps.
It only helps if your shopping centre opens.
Our shopping centre closed for two days
and even if we wished to trade we couldn’t.
The CBD and Harbourtown (on crown land) and Glenelg (beachside suburb) were
the only ones allowed to trade in SA
