This report describes recent results in the Danish market, the reasons for them and suggests actions that we can take in the future to improve sales.
Overall, it has been a disappointing year, with sales falling by 30% compared to the previous year. However, this should be seen in the context of difficult trading conditions: everyone in the market is reporting decreased sales.
For us there are three factors causing our situation more difficult, they are:
— a new IKEA store opened near Copenhagen four months ago, attracting business from other shops. — We only have Italian brochures and customers would like them in Danish
— Central, our biggest customer, has refuse to order more lamps unless we increase their commission to 25%.
On a more positive note, the market seems to be recovering and consumers are spending again. We also have the prospect of a contract to supply lamps to the Chancery chain of hotels, which is about to refurnish twelve hotels here.
In order to take advantage of the improving market, I would like to make three recommendations:
1) that Danish brochures are made available as soon as possible.
2) That we increase the rate of commission to all our customers to 25%.
3) That we invest in some advertising in lifestyle and interior design magazines. Please feel free to contact me about any of the above points.
