Friday

A late post for Friday. On Friday I helped put together a folder on manufacturers pricing, negotiations, and correspondence for Britt to take with her on Sunday for India. It will be used when Britt goes to check on the samples at the manufacturer in India. She will be checking samples to make sure production is at high standards and that it will all be able to be produced on time. If certain garments are not produced correctly and on time penalties will apply toward the manufacturer. She also will be double checking the prices that were negotiated per garment. Since, the pricing list that was sent to us with the garment image that it corresponds with does not match the price that we thought we had agreed on. Therefore, Britt wants to question why the prices are not matching. After that I talked with Isobel the retail manager about all three of the Camilla stores in the Sydney area. Our discussion was on the sales and how she sells to her customers and looked at monthly sales per store to see the percentage of increase or decrease. After gaining a little insight from her I spent the remainder of the day doing research for my SWOT analysis. Since there is so much that is confidential I had to figure out percentages since I can't use exact figures and eliminate the names of the manufacturers that Camilla uses for the research.
