We have a request from a member on the wording of your rental contract, damage wavier, and late fee policy. How did you come up with the wording choice? Have you had a lawyer look at what you use? Would you be willing to share what you use????
Jerry and Janet Klein of A Better Deal in LaJolla CA need advice from other members. They have not had a damage wavier option in the past and know IT IS TIME! What do you charge? Is it optional or forced? They choose to continue to use a handwritten form as many of us smaller operations do, and are looking for your input. Please take the time to help a fellow member.

With the off season for most of us already here, what are ways to maximize the talents of employees with less customers to service? Does it frighten you to think about your staff, blogging, watching TV, talking, texting, or maybe napping while on your payroll? The slower season requires greater attention on a manager or owners part to assure they are still getting productive hours. As the volume in traffic decreases, the customer service demands lessen for your staff in the front of the store.
What are your plans to continue to receive productive return for your investment in the payroll dollar?
Is their a plan in effect for working the phones?
Have you asked them to help design your next direct mail pieces?
Have you (completely) redressed the mannequins lately?
Vacuumed every corner of everywhere?
Asked them for a plan on how they would rearrange the showrooms for renewed interest in different styles given the opportunity?
Make follow up contacts from past weddings asking for referrals or possibly selling gown preservation?
Tapped into the many young creative minds and asked them to look at possible updates to your website or for their help in setting up a Facebook page for your store for prom?
Tallied up customer surveys and discussed with the employees ways to improve upon your way of doing things?
Have them walk in the front door of your store with a customer’s perspective for your offerings and let them see how different things look if it is the first time you set foot inside a business
Look up, down and behind for dust cobwebs and signs of neglect and ask for their help in seeing what needs updated
Have staff go inside each dressing room and close the doors to see what customers see do they need attention?
Take the path to the restrooms and evaluated both the route and the destination?
Asked your employees what they would change if it were their business?
Went through all registered weddings and sent them an email selling groomsmen gifts, garters, bridal favors etc etc etc….?
In stock locations have an advantage to keep staff busy by going through stock with a fine tooth comb and make sure your standards are clear to those checking on what to watch for..
Ask for ideas on what new customer service perk could be implemented now for all of the brides who will be visiting soon?
Have the staff work through all of the different options available in vest and tie combinations, sometimes the hottest new look is in their imagination?
Have all of your staff tell you from your newest to oldest employees what they would choose for a wedding they were in charge of planning and why?
Have all of the staff individually visit a competitor and find something they do better than you..
Have all of the staff individually visit a competitor and find 5 things you do better than them.
Ask your staff to tell you what they love most about their job?
Ask your staff what they would do to make work a better place?
Many store owners have their greatest idea machines right on their payroll ask them what they would do. Keep asking different employees the same questions for varying opinions. A fresh new approach to an old situation may already be on your payroll????

LarrBrio’s Larry Coates reports a great year for the young company with sales especially in the South and Midwest doing very well. Larry states: “In this challenging economy Our Don’t Lose the Wedding way of doing business allows the store owner to add colors as they sell with a 2-3 week leeway, we can deliver the style and color they need” He also adds: “The Ombre tie has been dynamite in it’s versatility to use with not only ALL of our programs but a great percentage of other manufacturers.” “We try to come up with one show stopper a year and this is it!”
Paul Gallagher of Off the Cuff Designs would like to pass the word along he is working with the FWI/Black Gold/ Frederico Leone group of manufacturers with the Twilight coat, vest, and shoe program to now produce a line of jewelry to complement this already dynamic grouping:
Off the cuff /Design Concepts division has been selected to produce the new Twilight Collection Jewelry for Jean Yves.
This exciting new designer collection comes in a Matte-Black Patina finish and offers a choice of Genuine Onyx , Hematite and Mother of Pearl stones. The collection comes in formal sets as well as cuffs only. The collection comes boxed in a Black Leatherette Designer Box, imprinted inside with the name Twilight Collection by Jean Yves.
All of Formalwear International salespeople have samples. The collection can also be seen on our web site www.offthecuffusa.com.
