Bunhill: Sales buzz at Harrods
IN A revealing glimpse of life these days at hard-sell Harrods, staff who work in the store's small electrical department have been exhorted to maximise their sales.
Noting that the hours between 12 noon and 3pm are the busiest, buyer Simon Leach had the following instructions for the shop assistants in the department: 'Please make sure that all paperwork is put away before 12 and all sales staff are on the shop floor approaching customers.'
He went on: 'Please look out for opportunities to make an additional sale - ie, vacuum cleaner bags with a vacuum cleaner, descaler with irons, sunmobile with kettle, etc]]'
Any ideas what a sunmobile is and why it goes with a kettle?
