MEMORANDUM
TO: All employees in the Toy Department
FROM: J. S. Jones, Vice President
DATE:
SUBJECT: Future of Toy Sales
Following is the toy department's report for this year. The future speaks for itself. We had a good year. The key reasons for our our success are listed before the table, while our general plans for next year follow the table.
Some of the factors which have contributed to this sucessful record are:
The special sales were held over July, Labour Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The extension of our store closing hours to 11:00 p.m. for the Christmas season. The availability of reliable part-time help during special sales.
During the past year, we have made a great profit with the line of toys that Mattel provides us with. Especailly successful is the line of Cannibal Parent Eaters. They went over really well with the children. They seemed to work well and lasted a long time. There does, however, seem to be an increase in the number of parents reported missing.
Therefore, it is recommended that we merge with Mattel Canada Ltd. to boost our sales even further and help provide the community with more employment.
