Hi All:

Today's Business Tips covers Accounting and Administration and will 
be in two parts.  By using some cost-saving tactics, the resultant 
savings go right to the bottom line - in your pocket for most of 
us.  We have been using tactics like this for over three decades, and 
they work.  Watch your pennies, and the dollars will watch themselves.

List member Pam Danziger gives us some information on the luxury 
market, and how the affluent just want to have fun.  So, if you are 
selling to that market, this report should be of interest to you.

Now, let's get to everything for the retailer.


Sincerely

  [3]  Business Tips - Accounting & Administration Controls (part 1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the years, we have helped many companies grow profitably, using 
simple, common-sense tactics for cost savings that go directly to 
your bottom line! And it's the little things that count - a ten 
percent increase in profit is more likely to come from twenty things 
that contribute one-half percent each than from one thing that gives 
you the full 10 percent.

Larger companies are forced to tighten up controls because of the 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  However, smaller companies should also strive to 
tighten controls.  This section on Accounting & Administration (part 
1) focuses on:

o  Improve Collections. Simple, proven tips to get your money faster.
o  International Payments. Be aware of the time it takes to collect 
in other countries.
o  Accounts Payable.  Part of the cash flow.
o  Improve Cash Flow.  Cash is king!  Without cash, your business will fail.
... and much more.  http://etailersdigest.com/etd/etd1004.htm#Tips...

These tips work!

Luxury consumers primarily pursue their luxury lifestyles in order to 
maximize their personal enjoyment and pleasure. Over half of the 
luxury consumers (52 percent) reported that enjoyment and pleasure 
was very important when it came to making their most recent luxury 
purchases, including both luxury goods and experiences.

What luxury marketers and retailers learn from these findings is that 
they need to keep the consumers' joy and pleasure front and center 
when it comes to positioning their brands, developing marketing 
messages and designing their products.
