Checkout the effect of a loyalty card program

In July 2011, the Lucky Charm Group of newsagencies rolled out the first professional loyalty card programme in newsagencies. We were honoured that we were picked to write it.

The effect has been absolutely amazing.

Checkout the difference in the first test site.

Before the loyalty programme started the changes in monthly figures are shown in red; the loyalty card went live in July 2011, and these are shown in black.

I think you will agree with me that the effect is very impressive.

Stock by location

A very useful idea is to mark items to a location. Particularly, if they are in very important locations like the front counter. Then check regularly how sales of items are going in these locations, in particular, the highest and lowest in an area.

You can find this report in the report section under stock "Sale by store location for a given period".

Megaupload closure, another problem with cloud backups

We were one of the first to give our client a back up into cloud.

However we only recommended this as a secondary emergency backup.

This policy was vindicated yesterday when it was announced that all users of the now-defunct Megaupload which the US department of justice just shut down have lost their files. This includes the legitimate one numbering in the hundreds of thousands - possibly millions - of people around the world.

If you backuped with Megaupload, you have now lost it.

Unfortunately now we still need to do physical backups.
