Rack up the sales with 6 lamb

We started a two week deal on a silverfern rack of lamb last week (066286597). Sales for last week were good, however, having reviewed this product yesterday, it has come to our attention that stores have stock of this product, but are not recording any sales. It is imperative that stores display point of sale, shelf edge labels and merchandise the product in Meat promotion End 2 as per the bulletins, to avoid unnecessary waste. The product is retailing at 6 per rack which is a great offer.

Pay Review update

Please note that your pay review update has been sent to you on the Workplan. Remember to call 63951 to hear a message from Bob.

Customer feedback on the product has been fantastic, so please ensure your teams continue to push trade and bring in some meaty sales.

Warburtons update
A few weeks ago we advised you that Warburtons representatives would not be visiting stores for a while. Please be advised that normal services are resumed and you can expect your Warburtons representative to reschedule accordingly. Your Warburtons representative will reschedule their visits to suit yourselves to understand any opportunities to grow and manage our business.

Please remember though that you must not deviate from your merchandising plans or store routines, to ensure order calculations are correct to provide full availability and minimise waste.
