Mattress
Giant was not always the giant it is today. Till recently, it
had been showing losses, the sales pitch was wrong, the advertising
and marketing strategy were failing miserably. As any body could
see, Mattress Giant needed some changes and needed them now!
It
was at this point that someone in the management decided to do
something about it. Always the best place to start is at the beginning.
He decided to look at the roots of the whole company and then
move upwards to identify every defect on the way.
Retail
stores, sales procedure, distribution chain every thing was looked
into. Anyone who had anything to say about Mattress Giant was
listened to. He got opinions on everything from IT department
to customer service.
Finance
department was the next stop. Every aspect of expense was looked
into. Mattress Giant could reduce lot of expenses if the technology
was better equipped. Every place that cost could be cut was considered
and a new IT proposal was tabled.
The
ERP vendor, GERS Retail Systems and finance department of Mattress
Giant were taken into the loop. They were consulted and together
a plan was formulated to improve Mattress Giant. It as decided
that consultation services must be offered almost free if the
customers were to be satisfied.
The
technology needed to be upgraded next. Online business was pursued
more proactively. Business metric reports were prepared, every
department was given special attention. Mattress Giant discovered
several discrepancies and saved a commendable amount of money
due to this effort.
Marketing
and advertising unit discovered that hey had been targeting the
wrong market all along! A new communication and media strategy
was devised.
Within
a year the company started showing change for the better. IT department
helped provide solutions and was no longer the problem. Finance
department was particularly happy. In the marketing and sales
area, the news couldn't be better.
The
company had successfully rebuilt itself. Anybody could see that
Mattress Giant had once more arrived!

Think
about your Rear, Dear!
Furniture can look great, but if you do not like sitting on it,
I have one question. WHY?
Pillows
can add color and comfort.
Instead of spending money on furniture, try a new color and/or
pattern for a new look.
Don't
fill the whole space.
Too much furniture in a room can do the opposite of what you want.
It keeps people out.
